Desmond Howard tribute

[@christopherturner5177]

I am a Buckeye, now and forever, but Desmond Howard was one of my favorite players all time. That punt return was Simply Classic...🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Steve_643]

Man hearing Keith Jackson’s voice watching Desmond Howard’s Heisman season highlights takes me to when I was a kid. I remember Fall time and how much I loved watching those Michigan teams kick ass on Saturday Afternoons! Howard, Wheatley, Grabic, Alexander, Irons,Hutchinson, TD Tim, the list goes on with great players!

[@bbarrettgriffith]

“One man to beat... GOODBYE!!! HELLO HEISMAN!” -Keith Jackson R.I.P.

[@cloud29z]

At 19:47 Keith Jackson's legendary call "One man..Good Bye...Hello Heisman" and one second later Des strikes the pose! Go Blue! Hail,Hail!

[@Paul-z9y7n]

Master of the full extension diving catch! Unparalelled!

[@matthewvader8651]

That last play gives me chills when he does the pose. I am a Packers fan and Desmond Howard was the right man for the job. I don't think there was a better college receiver then him.

[@waynewalton8798]

He's actually in 12th place . I can see y you would have him at number 1. But I'll go with randy moss at numer 1. He was just unstoppable in college

[@chancregister2714]

I'm Str8 Ohioan, but you cannot deny the magical Heisman season of Desmond Howard! Legendary!

[@maximiliankolbe_NIN]

I LOVED watching him. Michigan football was so awesome to watch in the 90’s. Our skilled positions were SO loaded - year after year! Desmond’s “Heisman Pose” will go down in history as THE greatest end zone celebration ever. EVER. GO Fricken Blue baby! 〽️

[@joshuabennett5891]

If Howard would have returned his senior year, which would have been 1992, That 8-0-3.....and 1993 Rose Bowl champions might have been National champions.....but we'll never know.....GO BLUE!

[@maximusblue2640]

Didn't get to watch Desmond play but watching these highlights made me realize how great he was and also why he won the heisman trophy that year. That's a ridiculous amount of td's to score in one season even in today's game.

[@Lee_Plenty]

I was 10 years old Desmond Howards Heisman Winning Season living In Saginaw, Mich w/ my grandparents it was my first full season of watching college football and the 91-92 Michigan squad was special I wouldnt trade it for anything watching my favorite player till this day "The Magic Man" do his thing. Helloooo Heisman!!!!

[@johnclements9085]

Im a badger fan and miss guys like keith jackson....those days were some of the best

[@andrewphillips8198]

The best compilation of Desmond Howard’s plays culminating with his Hesiman pose. Just great! Times were awesome back than. Announcers were great and the football was fabulous. Miss those days 🙏😁

[@llongone2]

That TD catch in double coverage against a very strong Notre Dame team on 4th and 1...."And went for it all! A diving catch!"...will always be my favorite play in college football. Too epic!

[@EKJ313_]

Howard then D. Alexander then Toomer...we were cranking out top notch wideouts!!! #GOBLUE

[@macenblu6]

im a wolverine fan, so ofc im biased......but OMG, is there a more perfect moment in CF history than Keith Jackson saying, "goodbye! hello heisman!" followed by desmond striking the pose? not IMO :D

[@scotthafele5266]

True

[@dcellm]

I was literally just thinking this, has there ever been a better call in CFB history! Football fans of all teams can appreciate it that call.. !!

[@BrWithFMJ]

I wish people like desmond and woodson could win the heisman now a days. It just a contest of which quarterback has a better team. It would have been great to see McCaffery win it last year

[@benlong2300]

BrWithFMJ Jabrill Peppers has a good shot at winning it if he stays for next year

[@BrWithFMJ]

You're cookoo for cocopuffs if you think a top 5 draft pick is sticking around in college

[@Riles3152]

I loved how back in the day, when a player would score a touchdown and dang near the whole offense would celebrate with him. all lot of that is missing in today's game. BTW: Desmond Howard was electrifying in college!

[@MrCoyotebob]

Man do I miss Keith Jackson!!! Loved to hear him call a game, any game, but especially Michigan!

[@llongone2]

"Touchdown, Michigan!"

[@Paul-z9y7n]

Time and Space were created by GOD no matter how you slice it.

[@forwardthinker4139]

This is the guy that made Michigan Football my fave college team

[@jimj2839]

Desmond the magician.

[@GeoAce777]

3:39 that is so pure, so many happy Wolverines

[@chancregister2714]

The human spirit was full of love, now it's pretty obsolete it's sad

[@556colt]

Grbac to Howard to beat ND was, is, and always will be my #1 Michigan moment. GO BLUE!!!

[@scotthafele5266]

The Virginia game where the chacnted sec at us was fun too. Go blue

[@maximiliankolbe_NIN]

I was in South Bend for that game. On a whim, a great friend of mine decided Friday night “we’re going to the game tomorrow!!” (As we’re getting snookered drinkin Heinekens and rolling fatty’s all night!!). So we stay up ALL night without a minute of sleep - canNOT find tickets below $450/ea so we end up in some craphole sports bar right outside the stadium. Had a blast! But when Desmond caught that pass, it was pandemonium!!! I went BatShitCrazy!!! From then on for a decade or so it turned in to a yearly thing (wherever it was played). But we did it up right. Hotel rooms, tickets ahead of time, always a three day wkend when in Ann Arbor. Some of the BEST times of my life happened on those long Ann Arbor weekends! Lemme tell ya. 😂 Go Fricken Blue baby! 〽️

[@scottwilson1251]

​​@@maximiliankolbe_NINYou were in South Bend watching the field grass grow? The game was in Ann Arbor when he made that diving catch.

[@218422100]

It's so sad to watch these and look at where the team is now. It's been a rough 20 years for us......😥😥😥😥

[@aaronharris5069]

Uh, you do realize that Michigan won the B1G title last year, and is currently 8-0, in the top 5. Life is good as a Michigan fan right now, but before Harbaugh came, you're right, it was hell from 2008-2014 (except 2011).

[@jamesonbolen9058]

We have never won 25 games in 2 seasons like we have in 21 & 22

[@hotepmoor]

The interesting thing is both Desmond Howard and Elvis Grbac are from the Cleveland, Ohio area. Both went to the same high school: Cleveland St. Joseph High School.

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

I wonder who convinced who to go second?

[@AndrewBartell-v7m]

Thanks for the memories Desmond.

[@1133moore]

Where are the Howard's and Woodsson's when you need them!!

[@Nhamp2000]

11:00. My favorite DH moment as a Wolverine. So clutch, and on a 4th Down, no less

[@kennethverkest6717]

It is a shame Michigan can't get receivers like this anymore go blue

[@scottbowers7248]

Guys like Desmond and Charles still do win the Heisman , it’s just that a player that doesn’t touch the ball every play has to have a huge impact on the game when they do get touches. Where as a QB touches the ball every play

[@xcjbmgx]

one of the best! go blue

[@showtime_kick1234]

Proud to b a wolverine!!!

[@ernestkovach3305]

It was such a landslide vote for the Heisman that season as Desmond Magic Howard garnered the most first place votes in Heisman history ...beating out Simpson's old record at USC.

[@Paul-z9y7n]

Grbec throwin dimes!!!

[@michaeladderley5180]

Anybody that boos...stay inside...

[@eugenevallin721]

[@ericreynolds2227]

Greatest Michigan players I have seen play: 1. Desmond Howard 2. Denard Robinson 3. Anthony Carter 4. Tyrone Wheatley

[@Seth4192]

Charles woodson is the best

[@dcdavis91]

Yeah Charles Woodson definitely needs to be in the top 3 at least

[@showtime_kick1234]

Yeah Woodson I say #1 first defensive player to win a heisman

[@BaconFrisbee]

Braylon Edwards too. And Jake Long. Best offensive lineman of the 00's

[@scottwilson599]

uhhh, where is Woodson? To me its Woodson #1.

How he wins the Heisman (not saying wasn't deserved) but Rocket doesn't is beyond me

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

As a life long Notre Dame fan, and all love to Howard, I thought Rocket had it in the bag. I think the head to head rivalry special teams return by Howard sealed it, though.

[@norm5959]

Shout out to Desmond! In this comment I wanted to share a perspective on a topic that many may ponder (unnaturally) on a given day - namely quantum physics. Growth in the fields of science, technology, standard physics, and cosmology have brought many to wrestle with the limits of space-time, the structure of our world, the concept of existence, and the boundaries of what we call reality. The two streams below address the perplexity and uncertainty in these areas. The first examines circumstantial evidence toward a reasoned conclusion. The second presents questions & answers on digital physics in a manner that actually makes sense - straightforward and easier for us "common folk" to understand. The videos are up to par; I'm sure you'll find them exciting as have others.

Desmond Howard was Rocket Ismail reincarnated.

BreuckelensFinest Um what? They played at the same time.

[@llongone2]

And, Howard was way better than Ismail.

[@verneolmstead8570]

Dez was much better, especially as a wide receiver. Ran routes far far better.

[@darthraider7935]

another "great" college WR that didn't pan out as one in the NFL.. he was a great returner though

[@johnclements9085]

National champion, Heisman trophy winner, superbowl champ, Superbowl mvp

[@Riles3152]

Not to mention, a 10 year pro career. That's not too bad for not "panning out" as a pro.

[@darthraider7935]

@@Riles3152 Yes... but it wasn't as a WR. He was a great KR/PR, making plenty of big plays and winning games for the team he played for. BUT.... he was also a really good receiver in college and that with his returns skills is what won him the Heisman. Now he goes to the NFL where I don't think he ever broke 500 yards in a season receiving? Thus "another great WR that didn't pan out".

[@abrahambrereton738]

super bowl mvp. didn't pan out?

[@darthraider7935]

@@abrahambrereton738 OMG... how difficult is it to explain this?!?!? He was considered a "Great" WR coming out of College, it wasn't just his KR/PR duties that got him the heisman though they definitely helped. YET if you LOOK at his damn receiving numbers in the NFL as a Heisman winner and "great" WR he had subpar numbers... that's what I'm saying, there's been a lot of "Great" Michigan WRs that have turned around and been subpar at best in their position in the NFL.... JFC!!!

[@leo50519]

He was good but not nearly as good as AC! With the possible exception of Charles Woodson, no other M player was as good as AC, He changed M football! to a passing machine. AC was better than Jerry Rice! Like Barry Sanders, he never spiked the ball. A class act.

[@kevinthompson8333]

I'd still take Anthony Carter...ALL DAY

[@Pirrelli8]

I can't catch him you catch him!

[@oldmillrd8153]

Gee, kinda remember the Rose Bowl with Washington and Michigan. Don't remember Desmond doing the H pose but a Husky as Washington ran all over the Wolverines. Michigan and their offense with Desmond were no match for Washington's defense.

[@verneolmstead8570]

Gee, you mean the Washington team that had rampant steroid abuse? Michigan didn’t have a chance against Don James and his drug program. His office was a pharmacy and we all know what happened to Don James and that rotten program. No one remembers that Washington team, but everybody remembers Desmond Howard. Your post is a prime example of the University of Washington’s vastly inferior intelligence to the superior University of Michigan.

[@oldmillrd8153]

@@verneolmstead8570 Ya right, don't recall any drug use on that team. Just make up any excuse you can to justify getting your butts handed to you. That Michigan team was a joke and still is today.
