People tend to forget Steven Jackson being the rams all time leading rusher.

[praetorian]

Ahman Green is another incredible Packers player that people forget existed.

He was like 113 yards short of a 2000 yard season, but no one seems to remember him.

Him and Fred Taylor are disgustingly underrated.

[David-slxf]

Awesome idea for a video series. The Hall of Very Good players deserve their recognition, many of them played on a HoF level for portions of their careers!

Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman linebacker duo for the 49ers was so lethal and fun to watch

[BazookaTooth]

Bowman was so beast that after suffering from the injury that ultimately cut his career short he came back and led the league in tackles. His knee couldn't hold up anymore after that, but he truly gave the niners all he had left. He'll always be legend here in thr Bay Area

[williamfiske]

Hope to see Bob Sanders in the next episode. I was a little kid when i first remember watching his highlights. I grew up a Patriots fan and naturally disliked the Colts, but that man was a true missle on the field and its a shame what injuries did to his career.

[jstewlly]

To whoever witnessed Seahawks-49ers 2010-2020 were so lucky to see the last of great defense omg Bowman was a dawg an animal

The "He did what?" call for Freeman will forever be iconic

[CYCLONEFAN]

It’s wild Corey Dillion never made an all pro team, in 2004 he was on the best team in the league and had 1600 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, also has 290 yards in 3 playoff games

[sports]

Mark Brunell was an elite quarterback in the late 90s in Jacksonville, and was also pretty nifty as a runner

[maliktalaat]

Little known fact about Jessie Tuggle: his son is Grady Jarrett who has been a perennial pro bowler for the Falcons, surprised that wasn’t mentioned

[reggiegarcia]

Anytime throwback posts is a damn good day

[charlesscott]

I love the ‘Almost but not quite hall of fame’ guys, lots of what ifs !

[skyefox]

Mark Brunell, Jimmy Smith, Keenan McCardell, Fred Taylor. That whole Jags team was full of underrated players.

[astrostar]

Other dominant guys during the 90's that aren't talked about enough are Chris Warren, Leslie O'Neal, Wayne Martin, Tony Richardson, Larry Centers, Sam Gash, Kevin Carter, Chris Spielman, Michael Dean Perry, Bruce Armstrong, Richmond Webb, Karl Mecklenburg, Shane Conlan, Rob Moore...

[SPTO]

This is a great series! I hope you guys will be very dedicated about it. Some thoughts on some of the players on here:

Ben "Winter" Coates: I loved watching that guy playing back in the day. He was a very physical but talented pass receiving TE. When you think of the Drew Bledsoe era Coates is one of the guys you immediately think of.

Herman Moore: A really good player however he's probably the poster boy for "stats accumulator". In fact the Lions receiving corps of his era are probably the biggest example of that.

Corey Dillon: For years it seemed he was the ONLY weapon Cincy had. He was basically their entire offense for far too long to the point that by the end he was showing the wear and tear of being used up. At least he got his ring in NE. I really hope his tiff with the fans in Cincy doesn't last too long in regards to being named to the Bengals ring of honor.

Jesse Tuggle: A very physical and fun player to watch and someone who really gave it his all. His son was also a great contributor in the CFL winning a Grey Cup with the Argos in 2017.

Roy Green: Now there's a guy who's totally under the radar. He doesn't get mentioned much at all these days.

Mark Brunell: Now there was a guy who was a really good QB for a number of years. I always felt he was slept on even in his prime. The big upset in the '96 playoffs against the Broncos was a real shocker.

Antonio Freeman: Man that guy made so many great catches and that MNF catch is in my top 5 greatest catches ever.

Terry Allen: Holy crap! You really dug around for this one. Even in his day he was very underrated. You look at his stats and think "Wait, he did that?!".

Wes Chandler: He was sort of the forgotten man in that offense at times and that allowed him to put up the HUGE numbers he did in SD. I've heard some say he was the most physically gifted guy in that WR group.

Randy Gradishar: Why isn't he in the HOF?

Pat Swilling: That man was one of the most FEARED defensive players in the league for a time.

Rickey Watters: A guy who should be in the HOF by now but he never played the media game and was often at odds with his teams AND said media. He was in some ways the RB equivalent to Brett Favre in that he played a very emotional intense style of ball.

Lorenzo Neal: Man you guys are doing such a great job with this first episode. Neal was just a HAMMER out of the backfield and was one of the better blockers around.

Curt Warner: A steady and productive back. He was the PERFECT guy for Chuck Knox's "Ground Chuck" offense in Seattle.

Eric Allen: That guy played the game like his life depended on it. His lack of stature led to him being picked on at times but be wary of that as he'd make you PAY eventually.

Wayne Chrebet: I've always said that he was the NFL version of the CFL's Ben Cahoon. They were of similar stature and style of play in their respective leagues.

Big Bubba Baker: I've heard him interviewed on a podcast. He seems like such a humble and great guy. He isn't even all that bitter about not getting the sack record but he IS confused why the NFL won't recognize his achievement after the sack totals was confirmed by football researchers.

I know this was a super long comment. Next time i'll have to be more judicious. This is a GREAT series so far.

[astrostar]

Great spotlight on these players. Man Ben Coates was so good. Same with Brent Jones, and Jay Novacek during the 90's. Another tight end that is sadly forgotten about is Steve Jordan, father of Cam Jordan. Steve had an awesome career for the Vikings.

[princepayne]

HE DID WHAT!? Is one of my favorite reactions from a commentator and their when they saw he caught it makes that play so much better. Also Neal should be in the hall him and alsttott truly deserves it not only we’re they the last two true fullbacks but they were great we often overrate the last of everything but the last two FBs were actually just great put them both in the hall

[brickwallblitz]

Apparently people forget Torry Holt was elite because it’s been 8 years and he’s still not in the hall of fame.
