Jerome Bettis - Top 10 NFL Big Guys

NFL Films debates the ferocity of Jerome Bettis' nickname, if anyone really wants to tackle him and his power in this countdown of the NFL's "Top 10 Big Guys".

[@ryantettenburn940]

"The Bus", like any bus, makes pick ups and drops offs. You can get picked up anywhere but the only drop off is in the endzone

[@josephmiles5904]

He's the Bus because he carries people to the endzone!

[@greyklopstock7155]

My family is all 49ers fans. We were watching the Steelers game last night, and he said, "you know who I miss watching? I miss the Bus." Dude was so good, even his rivals and other teams' fans loved him

[@JuiceTheP]

Yessir. Bengals fan but loved the bus, ward and polamalu

[@GregzVR]

I love ALL kinds of running backs who got the job DONE, in their own way - Barry Sanders for being the best all-time elusive, but I also love Marcus Allen's smoothness and grace, Bettis' size, style and moves, Faulk & Emmitt's all-purpose production... I just love this position!

[@5-iwnl-596]

Gregz0r Marcus Allen goat

[@jeff2x837]

Gregz0r What about earl Campbell

[@bthorn5035]

Everyone brings something different. The only jersey I ever bought was the black and gold #36. With that said, McCaffrey is the most profound RB in football today. He is a joy to watch.

[@Booty-warrior69]

Eddie lacy compared himself to the bus not even close

[@bozley9159]

Branden Brown his first 2 seasons were good

[@kvltizt]

Bus-t

[@Apollocreed2076]

Who?

[@tmillz120]

What a joke

[@jerkyg3493]

Fat or thick? Neither he is T H I C C

[@Mizzangela85]

"I'm not fast, I'm kind of quick" Lmao #Priceless

[@8MoneyIzmyMission8]

The Bus! A Steelers great, an NFL great. A NFL Elite.

[@headshotsongs9465]

The real deal. A middle linebacker running with a football.

[@FREE_WILL_DEFENDER]

He was OP on Madden 2003

[@densylzuspan]

FREE WILL DEFENDER fax

[@tmillz120]

I won alot of money with him that year lmao

[@piratesmvp]

That was funny seeing Bettis score a touchdown as a Ram against the Steelers defense! But, one of my favorite running backs of his era and glad we won a Super Bowl with him!

[@elshaini385]

lol I'm 5'11 190 lbs playing RB for my Freshman football team I look up to this dude

[@user-uk1kw4vn6v]

Add 75 pounds and that was the bus

[@densylzuspan]

Ray Lewis better start eating 7meals a day

[@crackuhsnackuh]

Ray Lewis I’m a 5’9 170 pound sophomore running back and I’ll punt tf out of you

[@kylenelson9755]

Chainsaw 30. Look up H.S. Highlights of Ray Zellars II.

[@tuckerbrunton4753]

T H I C C VEHICLE

[@ivanlowjones]

Who is Ron Funches........and how do we ban him from ever appearing on an NFL Films Top 10 list again?

[@ivanlowjones]

Santa Claus At least Mark Madden is a self acknowledged Pittsburgh sports talk "homer". Again......who the heck is Ron Funches? Funch him and Funch you......lol.

[@RossKempOnYourMum01]

The moment I heard his voice piercing right through me with unfunny observations I immediately scrolled down to the comments.

[@conorhorn2471]

The real "Beast Mode"

[@eieuueikey3953]

This is one of the best running backs ever

[@brooklynjb3112]

the reason i became a steeler fan

[@theHardyMonster1984]

Big guys who can juke a bit are much more elusive. When you go to hit a guy that big you hunker the hell down. You weight all of your body for the hit that is coming. So when he does that little juke it throws off your entire plan and you don't have time to reset again for a hit on someone that size. By that time he's well past your ability hit him square.

[@ivanlowjones]

Ravens fans....Was that Ed Reed (#20) getting "trucked" at the 01:30 videomark?

[@JKofskey01]

Kim Herring.

[@laneross6111]

J High yeah but what about ray lewis when he made the bus go backwards

[@pensfan3499]

@@laneross6111 Bettis was already in the air so he couldn't brace for it and it was blindsided and he didn't go back he went to the side

[@jakethreesixty]

You know he's good when the few times the Bus did get stopped are *memorable highlights*

[@_Zwickk]

He made my day Ron funches 😭

[@Tain950]

Jerome Bettis is the reason I got into watching football. I use to think, who's this BIG guy everybody's having a hard time taking down LOL. He'll always be my favorite

[@Emperor.Penguin.]

you know im surprised hes only 5'10-5'11 he ran like an mountain avalanche

[@vanhasuden1044]

Oh man, hearing Myron Cope, seeing Hines and Bettis on the field, me, a grown ass older man, brought a tear to my eye. I miss them so much.

[@ButterBallTheOpossum]

The standard of what is considered a "comedian" has really lowered.

[@wraith1117]

I have to say. How story book it was to go out like that. A super Bowl win in your home town.

[@ggaccentc]

Ron Funches = obligatory fun-loving black guy for diversity purposes. Had no relevance to football. Thanks ESPN.

[@samariwatson1246]

I see him in top 10 videos all the time in such a wide variety of topics. I think he is a professional list-doer

[@judereyes_]

Good Video

[@jonathanblaze1648]

1:31 Dude just demolished Ed Reed.

[@theohanna3561]

Him and Ricky Williams were my favorites

[@adamruffner9399]

That is the real buss!!!

[@mvtoanaheim]

People forget how good he was as a Ram

[@austinj4038]

My brain seems drunk when I see Jerome Bertie like how the hell is he that big that fast and playing halfback when he looks like a fullback like this did is crazy.

[@darryl163]

They just said he was listed at 5'10? Why do the steelers and nfl sites have him at 5'11? Im guessing he played closer to 270 lol

[@marknethercutt3381]

The first true beast.

[@seanxodonnell]

Absolute beast

[@danariola9169]

Impossible to tackle? I don't know if you've heard of him, but there's this guy named Ray Lewis...

[@emmanueloluga9770]

hahhaha....who couldnt ray tackle, thats why he is the best MLB of all time. Dude had perfect form tackling

[@KingTerry1001]

Ray Lewis got run over a few time by the bus, when Ravens would play the Steelers.

[@densylzuspan]

Dan Ariola it was fun watching them you knew Jerome was gonna run him over or Ray Lewis was gonna run him over

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

Don't forget Rodney Harrison

[@aprendeinglesrapidoygratis9379]

I love the bus!

[@tmillz120]

Some people couldn't sleep knowing having to play that man the next day

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

He retired as a Super Bowl Champion. That was in 2005 when the Steelers became the 4th Wild card team to win the Super bowl

[@eddievenuto1862]

According to the NFL's opinion Jerome bettis wasn't a first ballot Hall of famer. Because every year he was a finalist but every year you wouldn't get it I remember reading it in the paper. I think Jerome bettis should have been a Hall of famer at least two years earlier than what the Hall of Fame said. I watched him when I was younger it was a 13 year old boy for Pittsburgh and he was great

[@headshotsongs9465]

The guy was a real football player.

[@patmb93]

beast

[@dannyc.9161]

the bus is the best. even I would stand no chance

[@Bozemanjustin]

How do so many people not understand his nickname the bus When people would try to tackle him they would jump on him and I've seen him carry as many as five people.. as they could not stop him What's black and yellow and takes you for a ride when you hop on..... the bus! It wasn't meant to be intimidating it was meant to describe that unless you tackle him perfectly all you're going to do is get a bus ride to the end zone baby

[@jacksontutt3439]

Jerome Bettis and Christian Okoye run at eachother full speed. who gets ran over?

[@ThePrayinmantiz]

Lol....that's a tuff one right there

[@paultorre889]

Bruh I got hit by a bus😂

[@zenclover8468]

it would be nice to see an entire play without each one being cut up with talking heads.

[@vanhasuden1044]

And a bit more of Myron Cope on the mic as the play continued would have made it even better

[@larrybigdogz1325]

The Best Back!

[@wyattallred5461]

I've met him before

[@Apollocreed2076]

I miss having JB running the ball. Steelers Football. 😠

[@eldawg1325]

Even tho the bus was a big back he could cut up a defense like a cold cut sandwich when needed

[@cdotswavy1379]

Anybody else think he would have been a monster linebacker

[@JINSEN1]

Jerome "The Bus" Bettis

[@SSJ3rocks]

Where's the rest of the list?

[@KingKongDill]

Jerome Bettis vs Mike Alstott?

[@brookscbennett7246]

I wish they showed the hit ray lewis did to him

[@densylzuspan]

Brooks C Bennett or when he ran over ray

[@KingOfTheBeez]

For you

[@trentw.9853]

I hope I play running back next year even though I'm 5'11 and weigh 240. That would be scary

[@trentw.9853]

I'm a highschool freshman btw

[@Jimmy_Mook]

Fuck freshman

[@trentw.9853]

ASVPJimmy 😂 If you haven't been one yet than you will be

[@Jimmy_Mook]

I'm a senior now

[@jaisunchucta6793]

I guess it depends wether you're black or not

[@manueljosephcalma]

1:32 Was that Ed Reed?

[@AsdfAsdf-ee6lx]

if it was me against the bus id get out of the way and roll out a red carpet and let him run by me

[@MrCarsandguitars]

for you

[@Cmeezy_goated]

Ray Lewis wasn’t scared of his size

[@TheSithLord]

I didn’t know bettis played for the rams

[@killuminatiallthruyabody5516]

WHO'D WANNA TACKLE JEROME BETTIS???!!! Ray Lewis: Hold my beer

[@IWLGaming]

I HEAR COPE!

[@Madvillainy48]

How did this man even condition? Did he run 10 miles and then immediately go to Five Guys every day?

[@nathantaylormckenzie]

Damn...same height as lynch but 20 more kg...

[@chas-rl2ys]

Of fat?

[@CadChamberlain]

Powerbacks

[@fuzzyfluffyy]

RON FUNCHES

[@8MoneyIzmyMission8]

[@juicywhiteman5850]

Last I checked a Bus beats a Human. Getting hit by a bus doesn't seem very fun.

[@samiking2479]

Bo Jackson ain't for nothing on the bus

[@SmittyCity15]

SteelerNation

[@josiahwilliams1441]

I love leveon bell but Damn Eddie lacy would be a second coming lol

[@joeyflacko8514]

[@lancetamplin753]

I like to call him the short bus😉

[@bigtommy9715]

I’m 5’8 when I was 250 I was smaller than him He had to be 280-290

[@jobu88]

So who's allegedly ahead of him on this list if he's only #9????

[@chunkyjasonplays1631]

#9 is #1

[@beetyeet148]

o god...Betties vs Ray lewis.

[@Bread.--__--]

Lmfao dude he was 250+ and ran a 4.7, he didnt even look especially strong... but he was. He didnt even do the bench press at the nfl combine i really wanted to know how strong he was

[@jasonlang7]

there thinking about it to much (the bus)

[@Looter217]

Trying to tackle Jerome qualified you for hazard pay

[@rando9385]

How is he only number 9 he should be wayyyyyyy higher

[@RagnarokMic]

I miss Bus man, something special.

[@tuckergregor2066]

Tank was my football name

[@zachlindauer5159]

For what middle school

[@b00merxng]

+Zach Lindauer at least they gave him a nickname

[@thiccjames8291]

I'm called the Steel Rhino

[@Nfl.beezy00]

That mans nose was stopped up

[@TheDoombugg]

Last comment on ask what position he played for in the video? I ask my girl, she said she don't know and don't care. I don't know any position just the quarterback.

[@tuckergregor2066]

Meadville

[@andreamatthews6703]

What was his height and weight

[@loca4poca33]

I don’t think he juked people out I think they just ran away from him

[@metallicagabbe98]

Defensive players were smaller back then weren't they?

[@MarsRacingNetwork]

So were offensive players.....

[@djdosado]

You ever wonder why they or he didn’t just get him on a nutrition plan to cut 40kbs, how much better he could have been?

[@blade7506]

No he needed the weight

[@JDMatthias]

Really? Urlacher did his job, Bettis just did his job better. He didn't run over Urlacher, his momentum carried him through that tackle

[@ilovegodandjesusjohn316]

Proverbs 12:17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

[@LordRupertEverton626]

urlacher got smashed

[@nesseihtgnay9419]
