[@jeffery2350]

The brother was a special kind of guy !

[@kairarawa]

I’m from New Zealand so football means rugby or rugby league here but I love NFL and college football. NFL Films has so many great videos and this is absolutely a gem. I’m Māori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, so I’m what is often called a person of colour. I was also raised by a single mother and I understand how hard women like this work to keep their families safe and well. Warrick Dunn is clearly an outstanding human with incredible talent and determination and his story is beautifully told in this video.

[@armstrongQB1]

When I think of NFL Films I think of clips like these 12:03. Captures the speed and physicality of the game while also adding elements like the music, shots of the crowd, narration, slow motion replay etc. to really capture the moment. I'm glad you're watching NFL films. They're actually the reason I became a fan of the NFL.

Instant click. 2003-2012 is football to me. I loved him. Bruh and he turns out to be just wholesome. Helping single families. Trials and tribulations, the perseverance on the dude. Nice.

[@jonahdunn1380]

Being a FSU fan he’s one of my all time favorite players!! When these stories happen there’s only 2 paths a young man can take. The bad path or the right path. A true inspiration to all athletes and young people around the world. You have my respect young man and well done young man. GO NOLES!!

[@texasforever8611]

never knew his story before this video, I didn't watch the NFL until i was in high school. But man this guy is amazing , thanks for putting this video together, its a great tribute to a great man.

[@jdyico]

For both his great football and great philanthropy contributions, Dunn is the greatest runningback in Atlanta Falcons history.

[@BegleyFLA86]

My favorite football player. A great player and an even greater person

[@AceManning18]

Warrick Dunn, always been one of my favorite players. For being the size he was, he ran like he was 6'2, 215 lbs. Great pass catcher as well. I still remember the Rams/Bucs game on MNF in 2000, he made some crazy plays in that game. Basically won it for them in a revenge game for the previous years playoff defeat. Then, you have his story. As someone who grew up with a single mom, at least until I was 11, his story resonated with me so much. Just an amazing person, everything a man should be. Thanks for finally featuring him in a video, he deserves every bit of praise and attention he gets.

[@slimjim8455]

Pass blocking doesn’t get talked about much

[@AceManning18]

​@@slimjim8455very true. At his size he had no business being left in to block defensive ends or linebackers, and I remember him doing a fine job. Very underrated player.. the Bucs run game was never the same after he left. And he was a major key to the Falcons having such a dominant running game with Vick. Much better player than TJ Duckett, that's for sure.

[@zfergus79]

Epitome of a man. Much respect.

[@uglytuco3829]

I played running back in high school at 5'7, 155lbs. This dude was my inspiration when he was at Florida State. Just a badass.

I remember when I first moved to baton rouge I was downtown and they had a lot of police cars I inquired about what was going on and they said a cop was killed in the line of duty. I brought a newspaper and read her story and kept it until this day. It's a landmark reminder of a new life and a cop who was a single mom talking care of her children by any means necessary.

[@brandonfouts4074]

I felt bad for him, he got traded from Tampa and then the Bucs won the Superbowl. He was worthy of the ring.

[@JuicyPlayer]

Yeah I wish he would’ve stayed for one more year. He really deserved a ring.

[@WillMuny]

He didnt get traded. He was a Free Agent and the Bucs had no money. They also lost Donnie Abraham , at the time the Bucs all time INT leader.

[@TheRealDarthVadar]

He wasn't traded , he was a free agent and choose to sign with Atlanta over like 5 other teams.
