Terrell Davis: A Mile High Legend | A Football Life | NFL+

[@redmustangredmustang]

Terrell Davis is a big reason why Elway has two rings and also having a defense that didn't fall apart during the the Super Bowls. It's so sad that freak injury cut short his career because he was going to be rushing over 10,000 yards and maybe be in the top 5 all time in rushing yards.

[@Vjl5280]

The offensive line is the reason. It’s probably the most underrated unit in football history. TD was running through massive holes and usually wouldn’t be touched until he got to the secondary.

[@jonmeray713]

Dude was literally only a few years off of those injuries not being as big of a deal

[@alexandercluster3003]

Does this man age. TD looking amazing for 51.

I’m not even a Broncos fan, but TD is one of my all time favorite players. So glad he’s in the Hall now where he belongs.

[@ginacisneros3747]

He wasn't at the top of my top 10 but I straight up loved him because he was so talented and unreal to watch. Such a beautiful man!! His character and his ability was thrilling to see.

Those first 2 Superbowls would not have happened without Terrell. He was phenomenal.

[@cmarbormaster]

When he started tearing up when he talked about his dad passing, i started crying. He literally explained the exact way i felt when i seen my father pass. I thought hes not dead, hes just out. But he nver woke up. I feel your pain Terrell.

Best player in football period for a few years. You could even argue he’s the greatest playoff runner ever. Two time champ, league mvp and a SB mvp within 2 years lol. Pro size 5”11 215 could’ve been the goat if it wasn’t for injury. Elite short list of 2k rusher

[@JackCallSports]

One of the greatest three year runs in NFL history

[@mr.cookie7308]

TD is one of my favorite all time NFL player. He is a great RB and he is humble, down to earth, and a great guy. So happy for his success.

[@butchcassidy3373]

I had season tickets to Georgia for years and got to see many great backs play. TD was just one of many. I knew he was gonna be a star.

[@BrianReno-qy9wk]

One of the only reasons they all got rings is because of elway. Leader , and athletic abilities that only thinks about winning not about stats.. I've seen elway pass for 350 and rush for 50 in a game but the receivers dropped 10balls in the game and broncos lost . Davis only had 14 carries in the game. Elway didn't care if he only passed for 200yrds and no touchdowns as long as he found Way to win. That's what matters to him..there's no Superbowl without Davis or elway, or Neil Smith, bill romanowski, rod Smith Shannon Sharpe rod Smith ed McCaffrey, Alfred Williams, Howard Griffith ect.. it was everyone.. if elway didn't get that 3rd and 6 helicopter run the broncos may have lost..elway made everyone play hardest and better

[@RobJones-yn4xs]

I may be a Dolphin but Terrell is one of my fave RB,s. Explosive pace, great jinks, awesome balance......he also comes over as a really nice guy

[@dmoney5003]

One year TD had purchased the entire offensive of line Rolex watches as a appreciation for their work. TD is one of the most down to earth players. TD for TD!

[@Kjack2023]

I remember watching him score a touchdown against the Houston Oilers in the Astrodome his rookie year. He outran everyone, he made it look so easy. I knew then he was going to be special.

[@xxxxbigrich5752]

I love what Shannon said which is the truth! Without TD Denver doesn’t win a Super Bowl let alone 2 he was truly amazing and yes as of 2017 Mr. Davis is in the hall of fame!! Well deserved

That Georgia coach was a total tool. He was definitely a tool. He tried to sabotage Terrell’s draft chances. Can you imagine?? College kids generate millions for these college football programs and for a coach to purposely ruin their draft. Glad Terrell rose above it.

[@igorlobkovenko9480]

He was incorrect but Ray Goff was trying to save his job. That's why there was such rancor. It's also why you change coaches so the team doesn't become impacted as much as Georgia was. I think both men are now on speaking terms, at least

TD span in the NFL, he was the best in the game....PERIOD....... he deserved to be in the HOF......even though he did not play very long....his impact to the game was very large

[@JRKA]

TD winning a SB in San Diego where he grew up was awesome!

[@Theel25]

Listening to this and the fact that he definitely had several concussions, it shows how different the NFL is. He definitely was physical and tough, although unfortunately to an extent that cut his legendary career to only 7 years. Couldn't imagine the production if he was healthy for 12 seasons.

[@ImAlwaysFrisky]

I was so blessed to be born in 85 and get to watch so many greats play this game. What a time to be alive it was and i wish my kids could have had the chance to see what i did growing up and just how special it was.

It was TD and Barry Sanders were the best in that era.

[@koolkitties8552]

Brett Farr was better than him and so was Barry Sanders

[@BrianReno-qy9wk]

​@@koolkitties8552 nope farve was a choke master. And couldn't run for a3rd and 3 to save his life. That's why he only won 1 Superbowl because of the defense and Reggie white. Farve never could manage a game and when it mattered he couldn't win a game with 2min left. Once in a while he'd get a hail Mary lucky catch to win a important game. But he blew big games by throwing interceptions.. could have went to the Superbowl if he took the sack in Minnesota but he threw the interception.. year after year decade after decade he would shoot himself in the foot ..he didn't learn when elway showed him that 90yrd drives in 13 plays and 9min off the clock is how you win not by 3 plays for 90yrds.. he never learned how to control the clock .never .one of his biggest weaknesses..

Watching every Terrell Davis highlight of his career, even if he didn't have his right knee injury, he easily would have been the BEST running back in the NFL! He was an incredible player! The Broncos were lucky to have him as their "Stallion" in the backfield! And yes, I'm a die-hard Chiefs fan!

[@ginacisneros3747]

Right!!!!

[@Robdizzle2010]

I ran into Terrell at "Water World" in Denver over the summer. I was in line for a ride, and he and his family were just behind me. I made eye contact with him, but I didn't want to verbally acknowledge him or point him out. Most people in line didn't realize who he was at the time, and I just wanted him to have a great time with his family. I was in awe though. Hopefully, some day, I'll at least be able to shake the legends hand. No photo needed. It would forever be burnt into my brain.

[@ginacisneros3747]

That's happened to me with 7+ other players. I respect our guys too much to bug them in public. They have made watching the game so priceless that flagging them down in person isn't even necessary. 🏈🏆

[@Robdizzle2010]

@ginacisneros3747 Absolutely! Just normal folk like us trying to spend time with their family.

[@Hazedboss]

I'm completely biased. I'm a Broncos fan that started watching football a few years before he was drafted, but only became old enough to enjoy the game around the time he started. He was my favorite running back. I believe he was an unstoppable monster, that should've been in the top 3 of all time running backs. The whole scheme/OL thing bugs me. The scheme and OL were great, but how can that take away from what he did? Most hall of fame running backs had great offensive lines lol. Also, the way he turned up in playoffs was legendary.

[@soulbrother3299]

As part of the Georgia faithful i was blessed to see him at Ga...one game vs i think Auburn had a good game serious runner plant and dig in north and south!! Go DAWGS..looking for that 3 peat!!!

The greatest postseason running back in history bar none. It isn't even close. He wasn't the fastest, best blocker, best athlete, toughest running back of all time. But he was the bravest running back I ever saw. He would hit the hole and when he came out into the secondary, he was looking for contact.

Him and Barry. Only two that would just disappear camera's lose em then they pop up 20.yards down field lol Ya was hella fun to watch. Was at last reg season game at Mile High when he broke 2000 great great day. Place was shaking lol But hey Steve one of the best safeties of all time and at free he's number one for me. Great leader and trust me without him no way we win those two Super bowls. No way. And him and Smith was one of the best tandoms ever as well.

Terrell Davis was one of the best running backs that I have witness to see.Didnt he rush for 2,000 yards in 1998?He did right that's mile stone it self.There has only 7 or 8 running backs that have rushed for 2,000 yards in one season in NFL history.Pro football has been around since the 1920's and only 7 or 8 rb's got 2,000 yards!!That's insane and remarkable.Thank you Terrell Davis you were one of a kind. 🏈

The greatest running back of all times !!

[@Guy_Incognito1]

Let's not get carried away. He was great, but not the greatest. Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith, Jim Brown, LaDainian Tomlinson - all were better than TD. And the greatest of all time was Marshall Faulk (at least in my opinion lol). He excelled in every phase of his position: speed, agility, strength/power, hands, route running, and blocking.

The Salute and Barry's handoff. The two TD "celebrations" I would've adapted if I was ever in that position. Salute showed his TD's heart and respect.

[@aaronhumphrey3514]

Whenever anyone suggests TD was just a system back I always laugh. Go back and watch Super Bowl 32. He gained 157 yards in just over three quarters in that game, and while he was out the run game vanished and the Packers had all the momentum. Once he returned the Broncos took control of the game. And let's not forget that Elway had a bad game statistically (as awesome as the heliscopter dive was). In all my years watching football I have never seen a back come as close to an elite QB as TD in terms of his impact on the outcomes of games. TD was truly special.

[@curiouslymavismade]

TD was a fantastic runner who may have owned all the records had he not been injured, and he was indeed the MVP of Super Bowl XXXII; however, none of us should forget how huge Elway still was to that team. Without Elway, they never make it to that Super Bowl. And without Elway, they don't beat Atlanta the next year. The Broncos had a host of great players vital to their success: receivers Rod Smith and Ed McCaffrey, tight end Shannon Sharpe, safety Steve Atwater, cornerback Tyrone Braxton, linebacker Bill Romanowski, and a world-class offensive line. And no one can forget the brilliance of Mike Shanahan. He put that team together and guided them expertly. It was not inconsiderate of him to ask TD to take part in that one play so Elway could fake the handoff and run a bootleg into the endzone; it was genius, and Elway went in untouched.
