Dillon had to go to the NFL in 1997. The 1998 draft was way deeper than the 1997 class. He isn’t a NFL HOFer but he has earned a spot in the Patriots Hall of Fame.
Lol hell yeah, I remember when he went to the Patriots, it was like "Finally! He deserves to be on a good team! Best years were behind him but he could still go that first season and he won a ring with them"
Cincinnati guy here… I was at the game when he set (the since broken) single game rushing record. It was unreal. The Bengals sucked, but, for whatever reason, they manhandled the Broncos that day. Dillon left, Dillon right, Dillon all over the place. I think Bengals attempted only 6 or 7 passes that day. The stadium was packed and that place was rockin’. What a memory!!
Damn! He did it here in Boston, too, in 04. We were used to winning. But he electrified the stadium and scared the hell out of defenses. When Brady faked a handoff to Dillon, defenses would react up and receivers ran free. Corey gained 1600 yards that year and got his richly deserved ring. He caught passes well, which is rare for a big tough back like him. Damned right, Thanks for the memories.
@@dylanthomas12321 he was exactly what the Pats needed, at that time . They were stacked, but had no running game to speak of. Corey changed that, and they cruised to another title. I was so happy for Corey.
Commenting on my Commennt. Sheesh, 😕.To paraphrase an HOF coach, Corey Dillon was a man among boys. Suddenly and Deadly with Speed. I wanted to be him but I weighed 150 pounds and ran long distance. I'd kill you in a 10K. But my acceleration and burst were lacking, to be honest.
My 2nd all-time favorite Bengal, after Reggie Williams (Munoz is #3 😊). Got to know him personally. He was a far better person than local media tried to make him out to be. And, one of my all-time favorite runnings ever. "Beast Mode" before Marshawn Lynch came along. Was very happy when he won a Super Bowl with the Pats; the onky reason I rooted for them back then.
Rather being on Bad Bengals team to Winning Superbowl Patriots team. Goes to show you how good Corey Dillon really was in late 90's and early 2000's. And still manage to make 10,000+ rushing career yards and closer to 100 Career Rushing TDs but just fall 18 Rushing TD short. And should of been in the Hall of Fame
The Bungals. Exactly what those of us here in Ky who aren’t their fans call them😂 since we don’t have a pro team a lot of people are Bungals fans around here😂
Running Backs are way too disrespected Corey Dillon Fred Taylor Jamal Lewis Eddie George Steven Jackson Shaun Alexander all should be in the hall of fame
I really enjoy these “Forgotten Players” thing you’ve got going. So many players of the 80’s & 90’s that I can’t remember them all but seeing docs about them is pretty cool. Thanks for these👍 Corey Dillon is one of those “what if” players. Not in the sense that he never gotta chance to play he just never gotta chance to be on a decent team. I imagine what he could’ve done with a decent O-line, not playing from behind therefore getting more carries and not passing as much as well as having a good defense that didn’t get steamrolled each series. We see what he did as a 30 year old when he played for the Patriots. Imagine if he was on a team like that his entire career. We may have been talking about him as one of the all time greats.
I am from Seattle and remember watching Corey his entire career, he was amazing even in College. He went through a lot of tough times growing up but I am glad he was able to win a super bowl with the patriots. Dillion was one of the best rb's of his era.
Bengals fan here since the 80s. Although James Brooks is my favorite Bengals rusher of all time, Dillon was a close 2nd. I felt bad his prime years were spent on a crappy team but happy he ended up on a franchise where he achieved the pinnacle of success winning a SB with Tom Brady. Imagine if he played on this current version of the Bengals with Burrow, Chase, and Higgins? They'd be unstoppable! Who Dey!
This guy had the college record for rushing and all purpose in a qtr, the all time rookie game rushing record, and the all time single game rushing record
I'm old Boston guy, when is heard Dillon was coming here with Brady and the pats I was excited, he's one of the hardest guys to tackle in football history.
I haven't heard this name in ages!!!!! If he spent most of his career on a contender...... Mannnn. He definitely was a beast. I am glad he overcame his tough past!!!
Bengals were horrible back in the 90s but at least they had some bright spots on their roster like Carl Pickens, Rodney Holman, Corey Dillon, Darnay Scott, and Jeff Blake.
The most singularly gifted big back I've ever had the pleasure of watching, the meanest stiff-arm, the best hips, and absolutely incredible balance for his size, he was my favorite back when he was in Cincinnati, and I plain old lost my mind when he came to New England, my hometown team. If he hadnt ended up in one of a handful of the worst franchises in history, I think he would have retired as one of the most accomplished backs in NFL history. Just had to do too much for too bad a team, for too long. Thank goodness he finished it out in New England.
Dixie State then (Dixie College) wasn't a D2 college football program. It was a junior college just like Garden City was. And it was one of the top Juco's of all time with a hall of fame coach in Greg Croshaw!
I'm from the same hood as Corey?he was the Paul Bunion of Seattle as a 12 year old kid.Corey was straight Menace.no bull 💩.Rashan Shehee jumped off a balcony at a party because he was gettin pressed by Seattle Centeal District Blood legend Len Capone R.I.P. facts...that's how Corey got the starting job at tailback..
Crazy to learn if this is true 😅bro AAS THE DERICK HENRY OF THAT ERA IT WAS UNSEEN BUT THE BENGALS WOULD OVER THROW TO HENCE THEY NEVER WON NOTHING BUT UM GLAD HE WON SOME WITH THE PATRIOTS
And he could catch!!! Good hands. Corey Dillon was my fuckin guy 💯 madden 03 they couldn't see me with him 🤣🤣 love this dude. Great player. Hall of famer 💯
For awhile it was a real comp between u and a few other ppl who make cool lil sports videos….. comp dead. U smoking the shit out everybody. Hit after hit. Video after video. 🤝🏾
The Bengals let him go because of his contract and Rudi Johnson was playing much better. Then Dillon left and Rudi Johnson faded away. Typical Bengals lol.
Corey Dillon belongs in the Patriots Hall of Fame.
Bengals hall of Fame too
He will be he’s young still ((:

I'm a Steelers fan and this was my favorite player in the league
Corey Dillon is so underrated
Dillon is the Ricky Waters of his era, glad he won a ring with Patriots
Lol hell yeah, I remember when he went to the Patriots, it was like "Finally! He deserves to be on a good team! Best years were behind him but he could still go that first season and he won a ring with them"
Rickey Waters doesn't get his due respect
Not as good a receiver as Ricky, but a better rusher imo.
Man that makes my Seattle ass so proud lol
Way better than Ricky, with all due respect

Corey greatest running back in Bengals history. Thank you please coach Bengals running backs coach talk.
Corey Dillon is very underrated, so he was definitely a beast as a powerful back.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
My uncle has jersey of Corey Dillon. Man he was beast for Bunglas err I mean Bengals back in the late 90s.
The Bungals. Exactly what those of us here in Ky who aren’t their fans call them😂 since we don’t have a pro team a lot of people are Bungals fans around here😂

I think Eddie George is in if I’m not mistaken
@@TIGMT0824no he is not, but he is in the College Football Hall of Fame
@@TIGMT0824 nope he's not the last rb to make the hof was Edgerrin James and he waited too long
All those guys were great!
Don’t forget Portis. 6 1k yard seasons in his first 7, and the one he missed he only played 7 games and was on pace for 1200 or so
Stiff arm Corey thanks brother for your time In Cincinnati
If Burrow had a Corey can you imagine

I used to always try to do rebuilds with the bengals and Corey Dillon in madden on ps2
As a diehard Patriots fan, I 100% agree that Dillon was the best running back out of both dynasties. Great video.
Had to love Corey. Defintion of reliabilty.
This guy had the college record for rushing and all purpose in a qtr, the all time rookie game rushing record, and the all time single game rushing record
I’m confused why it’s so hard to find highlights of Dillon on the patriots
I'm old Boston guy, when is heard Dillon was coming here with Brady and the pats I was excited, he's one of the hardest guys to tackle in football history.
Would love to see Jevon Kearse covered.
I haven't heard this name in ages!!!!! If he spent most of his career on a contender...... Mannnn. He definitely was a beast. I am glad he overcame his tough past!!!
Now he’s going into Bengals Ring of Honor in a couple months and well deserved!! 🐅 💪🏽
Dillon’s first quarter versus San Jose St. is a thing of legends! God knows how what he would’ve finished that game with had he played it through.
Gosh dude how nostalgic I was so happy when Corey.l Dillon got his Super Bowl ring
Bengals were horrible back in the 90s but at least they had some bright spots on their roster like Carl Pickens, Rodney Holman, Corey Dillon, Darnay Scott, and Jeff Blake.
All of these players can be chronicled, even T'keo Spikes
@@TheDamianG damn I forgot about him lol.
Carl Pickens was underrated

saving this one for later. great videos. keep up the great job! I wish you well.
Should do one one Warrick dunn
Who Dey 🐅 I wish we would've done him right
He was built like Adrian Peterson
An incredible running back
One of the Best moves B.B made for Big Bad Patriots, Dillon was a Beast & the rest is H.O.F. Nare' 🔥 Big Bad, Team Patriot
Excellent review here.......Appreciate this channel, im finding out information on players from my era. Cool...

Keyshawn Johnson profile next
He is a total Hall of Famer.
And he could catch!!! Good hands. Corey Dillon was my fuckin guy 💯 madden 03 they couldn't see me with him 🤣🤣 love this dude. Great player. Hall of famer 💯
I discovered him on madden 06 and I became a patriots fan then!
For awhile it was a real comp between u and a few other ppl who make cool lil sports videos….. comp dead. U smoking the shit out everybody. Hit after hit. Video after video. 🤝🏾
Jamal Lewis next
Please do Stephen Jackson next
Big, Strong, Great Speed, Fantastic Stiff Arm…. Sounds like a description of Henry. They have different running styles but very similar attributes
Gotta do Ki-Jana Carter and Boomer Esiason.
Good cover!
Hey! Fun way to make quick videos but would you ever consider remastering your old videos now that you have a better mic?
Can you do Ricky Watters Fred Taylor and Marion Butts Robert Smith
Why he be looking like Mystical......😅😅😅😅😅
Sick love this
Soooo soooo good. To bad he wasn’t with the patriots his whole career instead of the bungles
Wish we had him on the patriots his whole career
Please make a Darren sproles video
He was like Marshawn before Marshawn when he ran the rock
And he was 6’1 he could catch too he was an elusive Derrick Henry 😮😮😮
As a Pats fan I completely disagree about him being Brady's best RB... Love the channel bro
Who was?
???
im guessing he might possibly say blount?
Le'Garridy 😂 jk Legarrette Blount
I dont think they have anyone close to Dillon since him
Akili Smith #3 that year…
196 picks later was some fellah names Brady
He wasted his first 7 years with a Bengal team that didn't care about winning.
Quentin Jammer Next
Dillion and spikes were the reason I enjoyed watching. Those terrible nati teams
He did have a lot of fumbles lol.
Bruce Boisenberry Jelly Coslett
Dillon was amazing before joining the Pats. Yall love to take away from greatness mentioning other athletes.
You misspoke several times on this one.
They won bruh
Maurice jones drew do him
The Bengals let him go because of his contract and Rudi Johnson was playing much better. Then Dillon left and Rudi Johnson faded away. Typical Bengals lol.
