Remembering The Great Ones no Longer With Us | NFL Films Presents

[@GeorgeDamon]

It's depressing to see how many players I grew up watching in the '70s appear in this video. Hearing that they've passed is always shocking, because I remember them in their prime and it's hard to reconcile with the idea of them being old, frail men. It's a stark reminder of our own mortality.

[@5000jetadam]

RIP. So many greats represented in one fantastic tribute video. Thank you NFL Films.

[@gregcantelli594]

I'm 58. I remember Ray Guy asking John Madden if he could try to punt to the gondola at the Super Dome. Greatest punter ever at the time.

[@kyledamron]

I don't know if people understand just how great Ray Guy was, he could do it all not just punt, but as a punter he changed the game forever he invented hangtime. Raider Nation will never forget him or Daryle Lamonica

[@Joaquin-227]

Guy is the GOAT of punters. No one has ever come close. I'm a Colts fan, but I remember when that ball was in the air it seemed it was never coming down.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Yes Ray Guy was such an amazing punter but Madden always said that he could’ve played safety, WR or even QB too. Although Guy was a dreaded Raider against my Steelers & many ppl I knew hated the opponents I admired the abilities & stories of both sides including Raiders & Cowboys. Franco Harris was one of my true heroes growing up. Those Steelers players were larger than life to me & running backs were the heartbeat of most offenses. RBs who got past the LBs & put his shoulders into DBs seemed to set up the deep passing game. It’s sad watching these giants leave us.

[@Joaquin-227]

@King Rabbit This video is a tribute to the great ones we've lost. McAfee is irrelevant in this video. I am a fan of the Colts and the NFL.

[@mikestand5163]

i remember, and you gotta be some kind of special to be remembered as great, as a punter. honorable mention to john james, who was awesome but not given his due cause he played in atlanta.

[@charleswilliams6758]

Ray Guy is the reason for the NFL teams timing player’s 40 yard dash run because of the ridiculous hang time of his punts.

[@Soundersfan2023]

R.i.p. to the Legends who died in 2022-2023

[@michaeltimothy70]

Many players and coaches of my childhood. I miss the game of football then. How it was played how men respected the league, their fans and their teammates.

[@fortynights1513]

RIP to Dan Reeves. Possibly the best coach who’ll probably never be in Canton. Also, one inaccuracy: If position players include quarterbacks, then Danny White punter regularly from 1980-1983 if I’m not mistaken.

[@Philtration]

I remember watching a lot of these guys when they young and I too was in my youth. You remember those exciting moments and those images are burned into your memory so it is very sad to them pass on. Seeing them here again brings backs those crisp autumn days.

[@President-jv5kz]

NFL films never disappoints, y’all do an amazing job

[@fortynights1513]

Good video today, but one inaccuracy here: When talking about Cappiletti, if quarterbacks count as position players, then Danny White also punter in his first four seasons as a starter. But other than that, nicely done, and RIP to those who are no longer with us.

[@TheAlfrulz]

Another one lost alongside Rayfield Wright on the Dallas O-line was OT Ralph Neely, who played about 13 years and won two championships. Also, OT Marvin Powell of the Jets (think D'Brickashaw Ferguson only 20 years earlier) passed away. Don't forget the linemen.

[@patbrooks9823]

How do you forget Ralph Neely? 😡 4 time All Pro. 1960s All Decade Team. 2 Super Bowl Champions. And how many guys can say they played for Bud Wilkinson & Tom Landry?

[@fromthefarside]

Thank you NFL Films ♥️

[@redskinsman10]

Damn, we lost quite a few this year Redskins Nation. RIP to everyone in this video.

[@GeorgeDamon]

Some all-time greats, too. As a Cowboys fan I salute all of them. They made the Cowboys-Redskins rivalry what it was.

[@fortynights1513]

@@GeorgeDamon Two franchises that have certainly seen better days. This Seahawks fan has watched a lot of older clips of both, and I gotta say: That was one heck of a rivalry.

[@kiasax2]

These guys were my heroes growing up. It hurts to know they're gone, and with them goes a bit of my childhood.

[@donaldschmidt2990]

Don Maynard was a beast, but the greatest deep threat of the era was the mercurial Cliff Branch of the Raiders. Not only for straight speed but for natural route running skills. His 0-60 was about two seconds flat!

[@seanstandup9157]

Oh no time to 😭😭😭

[@parkerman-up6bg]

The only person that I remember is Len Dawson and Little train James but I will still miss all who have died over the years

[@jasonlassiter9229]

Wow! There were a lot of NFL legends who passed away in 2022! I never knew until watching this video a year later, that Dave Butz and Kenny Burrough both passed away last year. I knew about mostly everyone else. Ray Guy’s death choked me up the most, since I’m a Raiders fan. He was one of my all-time favorite Raiders, along with Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Lyle Alzado, and Mike Haynes.

[@davettabowers6359]

Ray gur changed the game. Field position was important.

[@kingofallmediums2123]

Funny, Jim Brown, who just died, hated Franco Harris. He hated him for breaking his all-time rushing record at that time. He was thinking of doing a comeback at 47 with the Los Angeles Raiders. His hate was the fact he ran out of bounds all the time. Brown would never run out of bounds!

[@Jetsea]

Ironic, but I don't think Franco hated him back. Franco just played and just lived.

[@AmirKhan-yv8jm]

Franco performed in the playoffs!

[@patbrooks9823]

These guys, among others, made NFL Films.

[@johnnyraider]

Well said sir. I have to say my favorite qb snake Stabler is in but my other fav - Lester Hayes is not in the h o f YET, BUT HE SHOULD BE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ginny9577]

awww Johnny Grier died. he was one of my favorite refs, he was actuslly fair and did call things down the middle unlike some

[@jasonpinson8755]

Great show.💯👋🔊good to see all the greats.

[@stevengrvp]

R.i.p

[@flywrightdrones]

R.I.P to everyone on this list

[@timorean320]

There is only 1 Punter in HOF. That's a shame, but says a lot about that 1 Punter.

[@tygrkhat4087]

Well, only one pure punter. Several other members of the Hall punted as well as their designated positions; Sammy Baugh, Pete Henry, Jim Thorpe and Yale Lary; just to name a few.

[@wizzster69]

this made me sad

[@ajburrr]

John Hadl should be a Hall of Famer

[@ScorpionLLXPSports]

Sad to see a lot of these legends go but the one that hits really hard was Dwayne Haskins i remember him at Ohio State and thinking this guybwas destined for something freat and unfortunately he died too young to ever see it

[@mattdidomenico6097]

Can we please have the name of the song that starts at :16 seconds?

[@stevenmaslinski1413]

Rest in peace to these great players and whats the song at 0:01 @ NFL Films

[@Pepi_Potens]

Honestly people do say ray guy is the best punter and I agree but, I don’t think he deserved to be in the hall of fame because I know quite a lot of punters like Rohn stark who was a better then ray guy in pretty much every category. (No hate to ray guy R.I.P)

[@JK-fc8gl]

Jaylon Ferguson died too

[@05Hogsrule]

what do we do when our hero's are gone?

[@joycegwardyak4773]

75

[@Mrfootball-p9t]

This has to be updated because Jim browns passed

[@ChiefCedricJohnson]

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

[@andre1987eph]

How many did we lose PREMATURELY? And remember, Damar Hamlin was almost on this list.

[@videogamevalley7523]

Johnny Grier should be in the hall of fame I know this would be wild but there are refs who call great games (Ed Hochuli best ref ever) maybe these refs now can learn a thing a two
