Remember Cadillac Williams?

highlights from 2005 and 2008

[@CISCO21STOW]

Caddy could be one of the best today but his knees I have all the respect in the world for him I was in Disney during the Vikings game and I'm excited the lockout is over but he is supposed to be a free agent;( we can't let him go he's a buc for life GO BUCS:)

[@burtmaclinfbi3993]

Jon Gruden ruined this young man by running him too much.

[@mattcowan4294]

+Burt Maclin, FBI Yup!! killed him

[@javiersp9260]

He was our only offensive weapon that year.. what did you expect?

[@encycl07pedia-]

Go 2-14 or ask the RB to do his job.... Hmmmm.

[@Mauhadeeb28]

Thanks for posting this video. This is very high quality from the picture to the dates at the top of the video. A++ I wish all NFL videos on YT were like this. Friended, subscribed and shared. Thanks again for the post!

[@metalmilitia1890]

its so unfortunate that he got injured. Such a good back

[@carnellwilliams3007]

my name is carnell williams

[@ABCeeDouble]

Incredible.

[@caimbus]

Awesome..He was a great player

[@jamesmoore3604]

You weren’t chosen for a reason

[@luciusETRUR]

@BucsVikingsFan Barry Sanders took a 2-14 team and made them playoff contenders.

[@sjohnson1688]

I used to talk about him all the time with my uncle. Then he disappeared from the game. Same with Willie Parker from the Steelers.

[@IWantToMature85]

I just posted something about Willie Parker on FB

[@DJBlackMamba305]

After the season Willie Parker injured his leg, dude would purposely fall as soon as he was touched with some moderate contact. He stopped fighting for yards after contact. Pittsburgh let him go and he went to the skins for a season and then was done.

[@SuperAJGreen1]

Jake Paul cadillac suffered a career ending injury, couldn't play again

[@vidEvWill]

Beep Beep! Cadillac Williams touchdown!

[@Mauhadeeb28]

@xDIRTYBIRDx7861 Awesome! A fan within the division. I'm telling you, the NFC South has the classiest fans in the entire NFL. Hey man, big ups on the Saints win. It takes a lot of talent and I personally believe the Falcons are the team to beat in the NFC. The NFC South is the new NFC East. Props from Tampa Bay!

[@deadlyzebra123]

War eagle baby!!

[@BigAlbinoDonky]

He's not as explosive as he was in 2005....Gruden ran him into the ground early that year, Caddy got hurt and has never been the same. He is still pound for pound one of the hardest runners in the league, but man I wish he never got hurt.

[@diehard34]

more runs to caddy less throws =better offense

[@lefloydholmes2593]

Alstott was the main reason.

[@MrMW2nd]

Too bad his career was put on hold so often. Could you imagine if he had a tick more speed? And I miss these days, when possession in the end zone was a touchdown...

[@alexlobos9779]

I think he runs better than doug, i just hope doug doesnt lose his touch

[@jugodefresa4205]

poor guy

[@STLRAMSFAN1993]

no his real name is carnell

[@RarelyEvenn]

What did you talk about?

[@buc40alstott]

LOL mrkidd1 you have no friggin clue what your talking about man, he'll prove you wrong this year.

[@CISCO21STOW]

@nycnack ur just jelous we got him and your team dont

[@barbaragoree1679]

Our oline was much better to with Jeremy true blood and Devon Joseph and allstott

[@cashoutsteve2495]

*Davin Joseph

[@joshuabrown4605]

looking back at how he ran just in terms of the way he moves I can see why he had the knee issues

[@war7iger]

he had to tho... he wasnt the biggest guy for the job so he used his cuts and vision to get the job done!

[@javiersp9260]

The first bucs jersey I ever bought (and still own). It's a real shame that injuries derailed his carrier but he was man enough to comeback from 2 gruesome injuries. I have nothing but respect for Carnell Williiams. On the other hand... we passed on Aaron Rodgers.

[@flatsfishin]

Injuries man, I feel for him. I just dislocated my kneecap, it was up above the knee almost in my thigh, this man went through way more shit and this hurts, I can't walk for shit. It's too bad man, he was a good ass player too.

[@barbaragoree1679]

My grandma used to scream cadillaccccc lol rip gradma silvia

[@Tr33Tr331]

Cadillac was great running behind an amazing blocking offensive line...they moved as a unit!

[@99ProbllemsRS]

The first time I saw him go down with that knee injury.. I was upset. The second time I literally cried.. partly because he's such an asset to my favorite team, but mostly because he's such a great running back and I can only imagine how devastated he must have felt when that happened for a 2nd time.. I have the chills.

[@ArchieStaxx]

Classic CADDY!

[@perrygrant94]

What I remember about Cadillac is that he had one of the best sideways moves I have ever seen. If you were right in front of him ready to pounce, he would dart to one side, be around you, and you would be whiffing at air.

[@MrAcslater84]

He's always had injuries I played high school ball wit him his work ethic was always goin 150%

[@mikexxxmilly]

Go devils

[@DixonErHands]

he's just one of those phenomenal talents that got overused and got hurt. he's not the same back, at all...

[@ElPolloToko]

@89Ryanhoward It's a shame, really. He had a own unique style to his game too

[@Toshiogo1]

RIP Cadillac Williams. Another great RB who's career ended due to an injury. I still remember you Bo Jackson. Terrell Davis..

[@powerboatguy2308]

It will always be what "ifs" with those guys. No doubt Bo Jackson and Davis would have had insane careers, but Williams was really good also, I think broke a record of the most yards ever for a rooking in his first 4 games.

[@chinfuzzchet3616]

If ony his knees had held up. Few NFL rbs ever got the nickname treatment from the announcers!

[@powerboatguy2308]

This guy was at Auburn with Brandon Jacobs and Ronnie Brown (Jacobs would transfer for his senior season) which was insane.

[@aMSkEes]

wait and see, the majority will be Graham and Ward taking all the carries....The signing of Ward and how well Graham has done says alone Caddy won't be 1st or 2nd...I wouldn't Caddy ahead of Graham or Ward anyways. We've got 4 lethal RB's they will all contribute and help us.

[@Goulzzz]

dont get me wrong i love caddy hess fukin amazing but i strrongly notice the differene in his plaing from 2005 to 2008. its like d lines got smarter on run plays and the injury due to chris harris didnt hurt much either.. all in all i love caddy ur the man lets turn this 0-7 season around buddy

[@bronstain27]

thats a cool video and all but i just have a few problems with this guy: he can't find the holes, he can't break tackles, hes got a horrible stiff arm, he's super slow AND he never falls forward when he goes down!!

[@Jizzle90]

If you remember, in 2005 our line was absolutely HORRIBLE. And Cadillac still got the job done.. if he never got hurt he'd be in contention with AP for the best back in the league.

[@Jizzle90]

Cadillac is awesome.. And the only problem Caddy had was that Gruden ran him 30-40 times EVERY GAME. He ruined his career, its BS. Go Bucs, Go Caddy!

[@gadster68]

@HoRuSHoRiZoN yea we got norwood too from ATL...lol best show on turf comin bacc..lol thanx bruh its gonna be a good season

[@aMSkEes]

couple weeks left until we play dallas...dont forget to think of me when u see Ward and Graham running the ball before Caddy. ;)

[@lax2324]

@XxDOCTAZxADVACATExX hes been getting hurt so much cause he hasnt been patient enough to fully recover, but now he is

[@Jizzle90]

@egbo619 real name is Carnell, got the nick name Cadillac from an announcer because he ran so smooth -- like a Caddy

[@Mauhadeeb28]

@BucsVikingsFan Glad to see a fellow Purple People Pirate! Go Vikes and Go Bucs!!!!!

[@playsony2000]

Join TBayBucs.com for Bucs Discussion!! The Official Unofficial Message Board of the Bucs!

[@l9o6p7a3k4a]

cadillac needs to go into the shop for body work......jesus his knees are horrible

[@teamguddagudda]

when he is healthy he is the top back in the nfl or the top ten backs in the nfl

[@Ginga]

I could literally watch Cadillac run all day. He ran hard before he got hurt and does so now even after all he's been through. You can't help but root for guys like him.

[@Jizzle90]

If he didn't get hurt he'd be just as good if not better than Adrian Peterson.

[@TheYoungbl0od]

he isnt a a "Cadillac" no more, but we can still call him Toyota Williams

[@RussMFP]

We certainly enjoyed him at Auburn.

[@yungbananaclip2822]

Man between him and alstott they had an awesome rug game

[@javiersuarez15]

Who said Mike Alstott wasn't a true fullback and couldn't block?

[@aMSkEes]

no, the starting depth chart is Graham, Ward, Caddy, and Clifton.

[@23fretyearsaway]

i really wish he hadn't had those injury problems in the nfl :/

[@yvesvu]

dont forget about Kareem Huggins that kid showed hes got talent

[@AuburnTigerman]

Yes I remember cadillac Williams👍

[@mookeychase0907]

I miss this dude he was a monster...Kenny Irons another AU running back that woulda been monsterous!

[@TornadoRex.]

Easily the most heart in the NFL. I don't think it's close.

[@javiersuarez15]

Best pick made by John Gruden is his time as a Bucs coach.

[@kewlboy567]

He's not back. You never fully come back after a torn ACL.

[@adyzYangboi]

I hope doug martin career doesn't end up like, his... it sure seems similar so far..

[@KingMjf]

Not anymore

[@clannon2410]

Andy Yang Martin is a bum now dude, sorry

[@jonathanterry4437]

Clannon martin will have a good year this year

[@emerGenZ_]

.. it all doesn’t matter now for us haha, miss doug martin tho 😪

[@KU3K1D]

you can hear him screaming at the end of the video ...

[@mattc9412]

Gruden used him to death and ended up destroying his career after his injury from overuse. He was fucking amazing during his first year or so.

[@alexcurran186]

Hopefully he doesn't do the same for Josh Jacobs.

[@CampbellKAT]

@egbo619 nah its a nick name his real name is carnell

[@kng2bishop]

this dude in high school and college was the most incredible back I've ever witnessed

[@AUnit2010]

Carnell Williams = Walter Peyton coming into Auburn from Etowah County, he talked about how he tried to imitate Walter Peyton on the field. And he ABSOLUTELY did. He was a one of a kind RB.

[@PleaseSayTheB]

We're trying to get him in St. Louis

[@alanakins735]

Watching that Oakland is still hard to watch. Because as a franchise, it marked the end of an era. This was Gruden's last game he coached.

[@tdjr0303]

i remember Caddy Will. he was on his way to being a top RB....damn faded quickly!

[@xH2OxLEGENDXERO]

Now its the blount show in tampa.

[@MoD3RnHD]

there is no way you are serious? Martin is a way better all around back than Blount. He has proved it game after game this year.

[@armonwalker301]

Yes I remember him that's my cousin

[@B.G.dee813]

bucnation

[@Madeintheshade65]

Running Back U WDE

[@scramsworth]

When bucs ran the south

[@gray3641]

Favorite running back of all time. WDE & Go Bucs!!

[@MrAUFANATIC]

haha anyone seen cadillac? there he goes (cadillac flies by- beep beep) damn he just flew by us

[@Mauhadeeb28]

@BucsVikingsFan Nicely put. I never thought of it that way. I recently watched his 2009 footage and he ran HARD. He was caving chests in left and right. Seems like he may have lost some speed and agility after the knee injuries but made up for them with sheer power and push force. The guy was mashing tacklers left and right the likes Tampa hasn't seen since Alstott.

[@aMSkEes]

but yes he wll play

[@adamwhart2011]

I hated the decision to let him go. I think he can still be good if you give him the chance, in 2010 he showed he can still play so.

[@ericjones4776]

That rookie year he always seem to make yards after contact.. he was monster for a short time

[@FicoBezKocnicaBL]

The way he side stepped and juked as much as he did it was a matter of time before those knees went out

[@bronstain27]

lol of course

[@pali4ever19]

welcome back

[@krb0123]

man he was good. its a shame we never really saw him pan out to what he could have been

[@AvO156]

oh caddy...he was nasty, NASTY!! I remember the feeling of that last play against Oakland. we lost him and the game, not to mention the playoffs.

[@PhoenixSlasher]

Alstott was a beast going downhill. It was a mistake to get in his way whether or not he had the ball.

[@lemleyod]

Williams made a case for being a potential Hall of Famer before his knees were blown out.

[@CISCO21STOW]

@ragingbull I agree 100% BEST 3rd down back clutch performer GO BUCS:)

[@javiersuarez15]

damn injurIES... he suffered way too many and two very serious.

[@javiersuarez15]

Even if his career was hampered by injuries i own his jersey proudly...

[@ada2456]

he could get with it man he had speed and power plus he ran hard

[@AvO156]

when he was healthy, he was a monster. I miss u caddy!

[@careful7951]

He took to much punishment in his career. But he was a great hard 👃 running back. They ran him into the ground his rookie year.

[@tyronelong5670]

Yep chucky did, sad tampa ran him like that!

[@underdog7495]

#23 did not want any piece of that 1:19

[@survivingthroughacti]

I went to Etowah with him. Best running back I have ever seen!

[@Pilotdave96]

I had a pretty long conversation with him yesterday:) It was awesome

[@RobDropsBombs]

too bad about his injury... kid was an animal
