Casper the friendly ghost. Wow I will never forget ghost to the post. I was watching with my step-dad in Southern California. The snake was so cool to get the ball to casper!!!

[@williamfluck148]

Great hands, tough as nails, I was in the stadium for the Ghost To The Post, watching on TV was not like in person, you could see the play opening up from the beginning, I will never forget that!

[@wxman5401]

Glad you got out before the Cessna planted into the upper deck after the game

[@martintruther5808]

"He ran over Paul Krause like a pickup over a rooster." Lmao. 1:20

[@jojopuppyfish]

Casper caught everything thrown at him

[@bryantwulu3405]

jojopuppyfish no

[@GregzVR]

"Madden is on the field! The ref says get your big butt outta here! - he does!"

[@calebsheppard697]

GregzVR gold

[@deancj1]

Bill fckn king.....the greatest

[@connorquinn6823]

Wow

[@frankchukwumah6302]

My favorite raider of all time. Always there when u need him and least expect it.

[@dougbodenhamer9391]

Casper was such a tough, hard nosed bad ass. Those raider teams were hard chargers and fun AF to watch. The two most underrated TEs ever to play imo were Casper and Bavarro.

[@kaybevang536]

Before Gronk wore number 87 there was Casper

[@jwiese100]

In college he played under Parseghian at Norte Dame and was the 1973 championship teams best offensive player. He remarked that Casper was the best athlete he ever coached

[@boombro4705]

Haha 1:27 I literally thought he was about to truck a car 🚗 💥 🏃🏽 💨 😂😂💀💀

[@billbill5326]

Personally Dave Casper is my number one tight end of all time. I would take him on my team over any other tight end.

[@yeildo1492]

Mike Silver just says dumb stuff. In an era when TEs were an afterthought..... Ditka, Mackey, Charlie Sanders, Jerry Smith, Jackie Smith, Ted Kwalick, Bob Tucker, Ron Kramer, Bob Trumpy, Raymond Chester. All of these guys were stars in the NFL before Casper played a snap. I love the "like a pickup over a rooster" quote from the Snake.

[@tek6423]

Madden’s double knit sans-a-belt powder blue pants rule. Fashion plate.

[@tanakasigauke5596]

Great nickname..

[@itk.r8rsn8k15]

#1 on my list!

[@SevenmilePoncho]

I use to play with him on madden dude was the fastest TE

[@markm4033]

There's just no team like that Raiders! The best team EVER!!

[@MrMetacomet]

Dr. Z and I agree, the best tight end of all time. No mistakes, never dropped a pass.

[@FrankReynolds182]

I wish we could find a way to get Walford involved like Casper was. He's got a similar skill set and it would be magnificent to have a game-changing tight end again.

[@mizofan]

He cared about his blocking. Hats (or helmets) off to tight ends with all round ability and toughness, who do the gritty work not just go for glory

[@rayjr62]

In college he was recruited as a tackle and I guess at some point they moved him to tight end.

[@panama8009]

Many don't know but he was originally an offensive lineman at Notre Dame before becoming a tight end. That is why he is a great blocking tight end.

[@jayfish6114]

Holy rolling to a TD. Thank You RAIDERS

[@jeffbosworth8116]

I remember watching him win a weighlifting competition (or maybe he got 2nd) saying something like if he lifter too much Madden would make him a Tackle

[@MultiEviscerator]

I didn't watch this show, so I have no clue who 8 other TE's are that are rated higher. Casper is at least in the top 3 all time, especially considering how clutch he was in big games.

[@Goldone99]

From my Eyes EASILY one of the best receiving TE's OF ALL TIME.

[@greasyflight6609]

He was amongst other great Tight Ends in their own rights Jackie Smith...Don Mackey...Mike Ditka

[@mrg1534]

I was all in with the Raiders in the 70s and 80s, all of my friends thought that I was nuts to roll with them

[@jhonatanm5386]

damn the pain when he catches the ball in the cold 😲

[@augustusfarmer2313]

“Don’t sit on your helmet in practice, cuz you wouldn’t eat with your helmet on at lunch or dinner.” Wtf does that mean?!?

[@phantomclan5478]

from my high school💙💛

[@melbias5046]

top 3 of all time. block and catch, for the last 20 years the Te stands up and runs like a rec. no casper was a Te!

[@md65000]

How can he be #9? Should be more like 1 or 2! He was the BEST!

[@buckwildgaming5622]

I met him without knowing it was him

[@radar0412]

Dave Casper gave Raider fans a lot of thrills, but he also was "The Big Miss" by no fault of his own. He sat on the bench for his first 2 seasons. Coaching error there. And if he would've stayed with the Raiders he would've got to play with Jim Plunkett. I'm grateful to have seen The Ghost to the Post game. Wholy Roller play was rubbish.

[@sammyvh11]

He should be number 2 or 3 behind Mackey

[@compass5507]

Raiders had Casper then Christensen...two of the best tight ends to ever play the game.

[@panama8009]

Please do not Forget tbe Great Raymond Chester as well. Although he played at Baltimore earlier in his career.

[@pwbermudez]

Here after Gronk didn’t know who Dave Casper was.

[@Raboon1062]

Did he play with The Snake

[@DrDeath26]

He played with *Snake* in *Oakland* and in *Houston* .

[@Deathintheair89]

One of the greatest raiders more like a silent assassin when the snake wouldn't throw to branch or blientkoff a true bad ass RAIDERS!🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🗡️💀

[@jeffelkins1905]

If Casper played in the modern era he would be ranked the best tight end of all time .

[@kingjames1139]

Switch 9 and 10 and I'm satisfied gronk has to finish out his career

[@teddydatroop]

Yeah how is Witten ahead of Casper and Gronk? I get it Witten is arguably one of the most consistent TEs but ahead of Super Bowl winners? No I don't accept that.

[@dreeastes967]

Why do rings matter

[@raidernate9042]

Teddy Terrific teams earn rings not individuals

[@snwlcke3]

Gronk has only one season that he caught 90 passes...and has only been available for two full seasons worth of games in his career......Witten holds the single season reception record for TE's...went over 90 receptions 3 more times beside that...and has only missed ONE game in 14 seasons......Witten over Gronk any day

[@ogskywalker5669]

What a casual only little kids think tings mean anything so LT isn’t one of the greatest running backs of all time because he has no rings oh and dan Marino isn’t a top 10 qb either because he has no ring dude stfu you have no football logic

[@ogskywalker5669]

Rings

[@jamessimmons9464]

Todd Christiansen-GOAT!

[@jwiese100]

Rich come on man he got the name ghost because of Casper the friendly ghost

[@cristianzepeda3679]

raiders

[@justincase2291]

A good second would be Gronkowski.

[@rayjr62]

LMAO. joke.

[@ctruth6185]

Casper greater than Sharpe.

[@ytoowbbb8997]

Ok dummy

[@KTF0]

He was an Oiler? Looks weird.

[@youngrav2311]

Criminally insane for having this dude ahead of Antonio gates 😂

[@johnriley8591]

The only better tight end was John Mackey.

[@bryantwulu3405]

Y no gloves

[@newcomerjason7791]

His mother must've been a gorilla 😅😅

[@TheZom1965]

He was Ghost because he was so pale.

[@JAWrightonline]

"Dave was a bedsheet with eyes."--John Matuzak "Dave is the whitest White guy I've ever seen."--Jack Tatum

[@ThePrimsta]

Shannon Sharpe should be number two. Go look at the stats. Give me a break

[@captainspartan04]

take out Casper my be gates up one and put Heath Miller at 10

[@haterzzbehatinn]

Captain Spartan 04 you are honestly stupid

[@TangoSucka209]

Captain Spartan 04 You're a fat dumbass

[@tristarea08]

Captain Spartan 04 Miller was underrated..with that said, he has no business coming anywhere near the top 10..From a Chiefs fan, this is disrespectful saying take out Casper and put in Heath Miller.
