[@dennisrowe3860]

Three time all pro, six pro bowl’s, 5000 yards rushing as a fallback, retired with the team that drafted him. Why in the heck isn’t Mike Alstott in the Hall of Fame?

[@dennisrowe3860]

I haven’t lived in Tampa in many years. Currently enjoying the beautiful and relatively cooler climate in San Diego. But man how I miss my Buccaneers! Thank you Mike P for sharing all these this footage.

[@deonburroughs6878]

Hes kinda recently retired maybe he will be soon.

[@kanye2709]

I know it's stupid he's not in the hall of fame

[@Buttington_Headerson]

He may eventually but fullbacks get overlooked

[@notaviking2475]

he's the best halfback ever

[@ericruiz1036]

Late 90s and early 00s were when I fell in love with football. The Dunn/Alstott duo was a treat to watch as a fan.

[@MikeP813]

Same here. It was awesome to watch.

[@rashawnhoward7553]

Same here. I loved that brand of Smash mouth football

[@Cristian-vm1bg]

Mike Alstott, Daryl Johnston, Lorenzo Neal should all be in the hall of fame. Fullback position is bizarrely underrated in NFL history. also, i agree with all the 'dunn was also badass' comments. that backfield was scary. and fun to use on madden.

[@MikeP813]

Sure should be!

[@RareAries323]

William Henderson outta green Bay too

[@solracroche79]

FB'S open up EVERYTHING for RB'S and QB'S.....

[@lawrencesanderson3847]

U know ur fullbacks.

[@Cristian-vm1bg]

@Ryder Williams-Jones so 1.) i believe he already in in the HOF 2.) he payed tailback more than FB if im correct. but yes he was a beast and was def in the same mold as those other guys as far as beasty tank running backs

[@dustinkymalainen1019]

Underrated speed and almost never used a stiff arm. It's like he dared you to make contact

[@Bolt6604]

Closest thing he ever did to a stiff arm, was use his arm to shed tacklers that tried to wrap his legs. That's it. HOF fullback. Miss him on the field.

[@logansheffield8641]

Alstott did dare you to make contact because he knew he could just run you over. The greatest fullback of all time, no doubt.

[@freelanceryuu]

Tony Dungy: The Man Who Built The Vehicle That Gruden Drove To The SuperBowl

[@daniellee8162]

Gruden overall record without that SB victory looks very mediocre

[@libertas_americana]

To play against the team that Gruden himself help built. Rich Gannon was a journeyman until Gruden made him into a MVP. Btw i don’t remember the Bucs superbowl QB. I wonder who helped there?

[@Wampuscat6970]

We get it bro. This is about the goat fullback tho not coaches

[@vinsanity982]

Trouble is that from what everyone saw, Dungy wasn't going to take his team to the Superbowl. Don't great me wrong, as a Bucs fan, Tony Dungy is highly respected by me and he is a legendary coach. However, Indianapolis was a better situation for him, which is why he won a SB with them. I'll never forget that one time that Peyton sent the punt team back off of the field to go for it on 4th down. It was a microcosm of the interplay of Dungy and Manning. Dungy was going to play it conservative and Peyton overruled him and got the first down. Dungy needed a guy like Peyton to get to the next level. But, that tampa defense was legendary though

[@6StrngWzrd]

​@@libertas_americana Brad Johnson had very good career stats before Gruden got to him. Grudens "stellar" Offensive mind only averaged 21 points a game. 18th in the League. Defense only gave up 12 points a game (1st in the NFL) and the Defense scored 9 TDs that year. So who REALLY won the SB that season?

[@robertdesi6368]

Alstott was such a beast, he's the reason I watch Purdue today and why I wore the neck pad when I played lol

[@tankshot3256]

Tank, bulldozer, anvil, wrecking ball, train, juggernaut.... a mans man runner.

[@MikeP813]

I miss him on the Bucs!

[@andrewsolis2988]

Alstott was the most underrated power runner of all time! The original beast mode!!!

[@ernestogastelum9123]

underrated?

[@MikeP813]

Yes he was very underrated, he should have made more Pro Bowls.

[@3rdworlds]

Maybe, but NFL network did put him in the top 10 power backs.

[@aidanbrexit4326]

Joke, He Led Purdue and then took last team Bucs to a Super Bowl with a few other playmakers, His plays on video speak for themself. NFL are buffoons Ask his peers

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

Er; His ENTIRE Career average is 3.7 Yards Per Carry. These are the most ordinary stats for a 'greatest of all time' back www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AlstMi00.htm "Ask his peers" Yeah he was hard to tackle, it sucked, but we did it. He could crush a LB but the other 2 plus the Safeties are gonna arrive in the time it took to truck that LB. Most of the runs were 1-3 yards. But the Highlights; oh man, those highlight runs are a joy.

[@jasontracey3329]

He has got to be one of the most fun players to watch. Seemed like such a team player to. One of my favorites.

[@reefermadniss9453]

I’ve been a bucs fans my entire life & was lucky to be a 4th row season ticket holder for some years….on the night of John Lynch’s induction into the ring of honor, we got picked to meet Mike Alstott at the NFL network pavilion. Mike was legitimately my football hero in high school and I wasn’t afraid to tell him about it when we met. He was so polite and humbled by my statement that he gave me a hug….I’ll never forget it

[@lawrencesanderson3847]

In the city of Tampa.. this man is loved unconditionally. The best fullback of all time

[@bigz5765]

you couldn't stop this guy

[@MikeP813]

Nope sure couldn't!

[@glennvogt1194]

If they ever wanted to put a fullback into the profootball Hall of fame Mike alstott should be the first. He is the most loved buccaneer we ever had. When he was drafted, he set two goals. Make the Buccaneers better and win a Super Bowl. And he did just that.

[@MikeP813]

Glenn Vogt He was unbelievable, he deserves to be in the HOF.

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

Actually there's ALOT OF Fullbacks in the hall. Back when Splitback was the main formation... Franco Harris; Larry Czonka, Jim Brown just off the top of my head are FBs in the Hall. Halfbacks would lead block for FBs back then; and vice versa. The I-Formation wasn't the main formation. Check any 80's game out; they still used the Split Back, equal distance behind QB. Either could be the 'running back' on any given play. Would a Lead Blocking FB ever get in the hall? Remember Vonta Leech? That was Hall of Fame caliber lead blocking. The Hall voters don't watch enough film; because I can't even think of a Single Offensive Guard in the hall!

[@hippie2152]

Respect

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

Plenty of FBs in the hall. Franco Harris, Larry Czonka, Jim Brown. Just not the 1980's-2000's Blocking FBs who are now going undrafted as most teams don't use one. Just like the 3rd LB or the 3rd lineman in the 4-2 and 2-4 Base alignments. It's simple Math; the Fullback blocks one guy...the guy who is only on the field because the FB is in the game. Replace FB with a slot WR and it takes one defender out of the box; possibly 2; if he's dangerous like Edelman and needs double coverage. A FB today REALLY needs to be a passing threat; the way Kyle Shanahan used one in Atlanta in 2016 and paid too much for Kyle Juszcyk for the upcoming 2017 Niners.

[@MikeSmith-ky6uh]

The Bucks had a quotaback and they never won the Superbowl.

[@SmoothGaminglol]

Beast. Football will never be like this again.

[@out4warjh653]

My favorite player of all time... remember watching that superbowl with my dad and was so damn happy! (And I was born in 1994) lol Forever a Bucs fan 🤘🏻 Kind of upset tbh that he didn’t make the finals for the hall of fame 2021 but at least we got Lynch and Ronde in the finals 🤘🏻 No matter what; True fans know Mike is one of the best Hall of Famers... with or without the title/induction

[@jimkanzelmeyer7722]

A-Train you were always a class act... humble and so gifted. You made the game better.

[@MikeP813]

Sure was man!

What a man.....so cool Warren loves him

[@MikeP813]

Yes sir!

[@jurado6335]

the guy was just relentless!..he gave everything on every play

[@Aeneid14]

Greatest fullback of all time...he did it all; run,block,and pass catch

[@MikeP813]

And run people over lol

[@1983jblack]

Bullshit to that comment.

[@BrotherApexx]

Not a Bucs fan but it was great to have seen this team rise from the depths and do well. Great defense and exciting players like Alstott and Dunn on offence. Plus those new unis were fire.

[@johnnyliddell5375]

Mike Alstott is the best running back of all time is my opinion, the best that I ever seen.

[@Z3koD3vo]

this vid gives me flashbacks of when i used to live in FL with my pops and he would take me and my bro to go watch the bucs when he could. loved seeing alstott run. good times and better memories. thanks bro

[@MikeP813]

You're welcome! Be sure to subscribe!

[@h2odivr]

I loved watching this guy. Old, hardnosed, grind it out football. On his worst day he was a force of nature. On his best day, bring it. He's gonna run through or over you. There aren't any these days I think that can compare. Maybe number 24 from Seattle.

[@xThePsychoNautx]

I watch this a few times a year. Mike Alstott is my favorite player of all time, and I'm a diehard Saints fan. I think he is the best power runner of all time. I would always create an Alstott clone in NCAA Football for my college career mode.

[@dennisrowe3860]

Someone on here called Mike Alstott the original beast mode. I would have to agree.

[@Here_4_comments]

For a long time we didn’t have anything to proud of in Tampa Bay football #40 turned our franchise around. Can’t forget Dungy showed us what defense looked while A-train carried entire seasons on his back. One of the best ever.

[@teddavis292]

If his coaches knew how to use him properly earlier in his career, the Bucs would have been even better. While the defense is what gets remembered by people outside of Tampa Bay, the people who saw Mike play know he was the heart and soul of that franchise and the fans favorite. His effort was tremendous. It was an honor watching him play. Please make room for this man in Canton. He is what the Hall of Fame was built for.

[@scampbellbhs]

Nothing but the utmost respect from this Saints fan.

[@dixsonlauofo7617]

Should be in the Hall by now. He was the heart of the offense

[@ughettapbacon]

I just discovered that my 11-year-old nephew is going to play running back. I am about to link him this video so he can absorb it's lesson.

[@jsimmons12]

@Mike P: If you get a chance, try and get the 1997 game against the Patriots. I think we won 27-7. Alstott had an AMAZING game. The stat line wasn't amazing; I think he ran for 91 yards and had some yards receiving. But he was impossible to tackle. He had some highlight runs that game.

[@MikeP813]

I will try and find that game!

[@salwagorges699]

A full back at that a lot of teams don't use their full back like they running backs that's why he was so underrated

[@muhammadfarhan581]

I cant believe how underrated this guy is, still not in hof, not in the 2000s team of the decade, and always not mention in discussion amongst great fullbacks, like wtf

[@koolkitties8552]

He is always mentioned as one of the best Full backs but he should be in the HOF for sure.

[@hehateme71]

Karo French He’s not quite mentioned like Jim Brown, Franco Harris, or Jim Taylor, but probably should be!

[@crestmobgeneral2842]

Best fullback of his Era

[@MrTrininick098]

His balance and shiftiness in tight spaces made him unique, super determination and great hands hold on to the ball in piles and great catching out backfield. He could be 2,000 yard player in like 49ers west coast offense, running and catching. Warrick Dunn and himself, were great backfield and 2 good men outside of football.

[@jimbeaux89]

So much fun to watch. The ‘02 Tampa team was so dominant

Wish I remember the game, but I remember in the 2000 or 2001 season he had a clear path to the end zone and a DB had the audacity to act like he was going to hit A-train, like a bull to movement, he altered he course and promptly ran his ass over on way to a TD. Wish I remembered what team and who the player was.

I can't remember either lol

I don't remember what year it was but it was just after the hurricane Katrina. Bucs won 10-3 against the Saints in the LSU stadium. I was able to go watch the bucs win because of my dad. After the game was over nothing more then a waist high metal fence separated us from the bucs. I'll never forget me being a 10 year old seeing a giant of man named mike Allstot sign my ball. That is a day I'll never forget

[@americaninsurgent4403]

Man I thought Peyton Hillis was the next Alstott and he threw it away. Dude could have literally been better than Alstott. Just as big and faster with a little bit more skill. He didn’t have the mentality and toughness though.

[@duanekit94]

Dear Canton, Wtf! Get this man in there. He deserves it.

[@theamazinggoldfish8713]

Alabama really needs an "Mike Alstott". If you want to have an strong (and open) passing game, then you need an strong running game (example Georgia), not just fast running backs, but "Power" running backs that can convert short yardage to first downs & touchdowns......🏹🤠👍

[@MichaelScott-jy2si]

Love to watch him play He is the last great fullback Along with John Riggins & Larry Zonka You will be in the H.O.F

[@NickHarmon-w8o]

He was even more of the offense at Purdue. I remember him getting the ball and nine defense players jumping on him. You couldn't even see him anymore. Then you should see those nine defensive players moving backward for about nine yards.

[@markcooper2075]

Way to go Mike!!!

[@Mucasalecha1]

My all-time favorite player, made me a bucs fan for life, and I’ve never even been to Florida. All that aside, it’s absurd how these professionals have no form to their tackling; hit with your shoulder, wrap up, pull legs toward you, and drive through.

[@Jax5.]

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

Alstott was the white Bettis. Bettis was the black Alstott.

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BettJe00.htm Bettis was faster and way better. Alstott was a FB and was usually lead blocking for Warrick Dunn. Im looking at 2002 Bucs and it doesnt make sense; Alstott has 3.8 YPA and Main RB Pittman has only 3.7. It was a shitty offense. 324 Points; 22 Points per game: 18th place. Defense Is ALL TIME Great at TWELVE points a Game!! TWELVE??

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

I Love Gruden and all; but as an Offensive Guy he's overrated he never could get a QB to read the field in 2.3 seconds as drawn up in his massive West Coast Offense Playbooks. Never could make the Tampa Offense better then 15th place. He was brilliant in the 90's in Greenbay and made the Raiders awesome with #1 Offenses and made Cast off Rich Gannon an MVP.

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

NFL Offenses are ALL Similar in that they All have plays that beat every coverage, man, 2 safeties or 1 safety middle of the field; on each side of the play. A Manning or Brees or Brady can diagnose and throw to the open guy; there's ALWAYS an open guy by design the guy that's one on one with his man defender trailing headed for open grass without a safety or LB waiting there....But SO Few Guys can learn to do that; AND it takes 3 years! I remember hating Eli Manning; but Rivers WAS a better student 2005-06-07 by far. It took Eli Until December 30th 2007 to FINALLY figure out how to find the open guy; at the best possible moment; Scoring 35 Points against the 15-0 Patriots in Week 17. Then I believed. He passed it all over the yard that Epic Postseason.

[@MikeP813]

Walter White Bettis was a RUNNING BACK and Alstott was FULLBACK! All the other stuff means nothing. Gruden did not properly use Alstott during his tenure under the Bucs, if so Alstott would have had more Pro Bowls and even better numbers than he finished his career with.

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

Yeah exactly; Alstott was used more as a lead blocker for Pittman and Warrick Dunn then handling the ball himself. Jerome Bettis refused to be used this way by the Rams. He was much faster; Bettis was a complete RB...Alstott didn't gain yards per carry because of his slow speed; like most Fullbacks. The 'White Bettis' is craziness; taking highlight reel as if it's the usual; when its not...Because Bettis had his own Fullback to lead for him.

[@elberolivo4970]

[@ericfranklin4520]

as a packers fan I enjoyed watching him he did everything run block catch out the back field it won't be another A-Train#40 HOF

[@GWOSAPAT]

Alstott literally gave the game all he had. Sacrificed his body. No one more deserving to be a HOF.

[@MikeP813]

Yes he did. I really hope he makes it one day!

[@JayFabe100]

He is definitely a Hall of Famer someday in my opinion. The only knock they had on him was the fact that he wasn't a good run blocker based on how the position "fullback" is suppose to be played. But I say the hell with all that, this guy was a playmaker, a highlight reel in his own right. You know you somebody when you are one of Chris Berman's favorite players. Chris Berman was the one that gave him the "A-Train" name and made those sounds of him breaking tackles. 11 years in the game. 6 Pro Bowls. Voted All-Pro 3x and won a Super Bowl. All this and played for one team. HALL OF FAMER no doubt about it.

[@ChefAppleby]

Jermaine Fabian if everyone remembers correctly, Jim Brown was a Fullback as well. So was John Righins, so was Marion Montley.

[@Matthew-qy7op]

A two back system doesn't require the fullback to be a blocker as first priority. The Packers have a clone of Alstott in Aaron Ripkowski, but rarely use him to his potential.

[@superdroski7813]

Whoa whoa whoa, I'm a packers fans and yeah ripkowski can run like a tank at times but he is not even close to being on the same level as alstott, let alone a clone. And yeah that's true about fullback's not having to be primary blockers in two back sets but it definitely helps. Look at how the packers used John Kuhn.

[@frostnip]

Well said bro

[@dennisrowe3860]

Jermaine Fabian You nailed it. 11 years in the game, six pro bowls, retired with the team that drafted him. Not to mention 5000 yards rushing as a fallback. 5000 yards as a fallback/half back! I’m going to write a letter to the NFL
