The Eagles and the Giants had a charity softball game a few weeks ago. TO was on the Eagles team. Through a donation, my grandson we the "assistant coach" and was on the field with the team. TO was so kind to him. Talking to him before the game for a while. After the game, TO came over to him and said "good job Coach Tyler, I'll sign anything you'd like me to sign. I was a fan before but as you can guess, even a bigger one now. To take a few minuets to make a little boy feel special shows what kind of man he really is. Thank to TO!

[@andronicusmaximus2355]

As a teen, I met TO in the locker room after a game against the Rams in STL during his breakout year. When I walked up to him, he was fiddling with his earrings. For a few seconds, he pretended not to see me. Then he bent down, said “boo”, and broke into a big grin. He signed my program and talked to me for 10 minutes like we were old friends. I’ll never forget that, and I’ll always support him.

[@Deltaaaaaaaaa]

Terrell Owens was THE man. If he played in this era, he’d be universally loved. He was just way too bright a star for that early 2000s era of the NFL. And because of that, people act like he wasn’t one of the 2 greatest receivers to ever live.

That's really crazy what the media could do to a player. He never quitted on his team, always showed up to block and help his teammates, never got in trouble with the law or partied before games, never did drugs, just went to work everyday and because he was having fun talking on the field, the media portrayed him as this "cancer" in the locker room. To play in the Super Bowl with a broken leg is unbelievable, and he did that for his teamates to give them the best chance to win.

[@stevencoardvenice]

It's disgusting that they made him wait for HOF. Nerds

[@user-f5xt2op9t]

One of the best personalities the league has ever had.

[@marvinshenk]

Terrell Owens was the best. That catch from Steve Young against the Packers was so good. I've always been a Redskins fan, but I thought TO was great as a Cowboy with his whole "get your popcorn ready" stuff. A truly great receiver, and a truly great entertainer. It's players like him that really exploded the NFL's success. When he started, NFL teams could be bought for a few hundred million. Now their worth $5 Billion.

[@GeronFletcher]

I always love how TO really worked his way to becoming the best. He didn’t even start in college and took time to develop in the NFL and now look at the end product. HALL OF FAME

@@devastor-phil310 Yeah that was a bit over the top, the first one was bad enough, but when he did it again during the same game. It was the ultimate in "act like you've been here before" moments. It was sad because he was an absolute physical beast of a player, but he really did need to keep his emotions under check a bit more.

[@Essman614]

Imagine TO in this era. The tail end of his career was right around the time the rules really started protecting receivers. You can almost see it in a few of these clips how much more physical the game was in the secondary.

[@Archbizhop]

I really liked that you guys highlighted the blocking factor in this video. You have one of the top WR in the history of the NFL showing that his ability to impact the game with his blocks was a big factor in his and his team's success. As a 49ers fan, I'm thankful the organization still puts so much importance on everyone needing the ability to block. You're the frickin man TO. All the best

[@Thaeffintruth]

I think a lot of people (especially younger folks) really forget just how great TO really was on the football field. Dude could run any route in any spot on the field, and was fearless. A lot of guys dont want to go in the middle of the field, but TO would go right in there and reek havoc on defenses

Just remember the only wide receiver in NFL history that's better than Terell Owens is Jerry Rice. So that's your kind of tell you that he's not a glory Hound that he actually worked his ass off to get where he is and to accomplish what he did. Stop paying attention to ESPN and all the naysayers and actually do some research

[@macewindau3060]

I’m one of the biggest T.O. fans of all time, for me it’s between Randy Moss & T.O. Randy has the slightest edge as a deep ball guy, but T.O. is the best yac receiver that’s ever played the game. U could throw a 2 yard hitch or a 5 yard slant to T.O. & he could take it the distance 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 yards etc T.O. only receiver I’ve ever seen put pro LB’s into the turf w/a stiff arm, hottest TD celebrations of all time. He was a glory hound, but he could back up every inch, ounce, word he said, to me he’s the offensive version of Deion, greatness personified

[@guitarunt]

Inspiring!!!! DDD!!! Desire, Dedication, Discipline! I was grateful when you played for the Cowboys T.O.!!!

[@SickBoy99a]

Years ago, I remember trying to explain to someone who didn't know football very well what the difference was between Moss and TO. I said, "TO always fights for the ball." If that thing was thrown anywhere in the same Zip code as him, he was going to go get it. Also, unlike Moss, he never took a play off. Always maximum effort.

[@stevencoardvenice]

Also yards after catch was owens specialty

[@michaelknight8534]

Keep giving this man his flowers. GOD bless you T. O.!

[@gabee3993]

Peyton is great at interviewing. Hes a straight shooter and the fact he can replay other plays guys make they appreciate that detail

[@zein9227]

It's like he said, he is a quiet and disciplined good person off the field but he was the exuberant, herculean and dramatic TO on the field. There are many, many players who do the same. He probably needed that exaggerated personality and over the top energy to even play such a violent sport. And he was a very physical receiver who never shied away from LBs and DBs. He played in the era where throwing across the middle was considered a "hospital throw" because of guys like Ray Lewis, Urlacher and Tedy Bruschi. In today's league he would be the top dog. He'd be better than Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson or A.J. Brown.

[@nazinas21]

Brian Dawkins was the same way

[@Travdust]

He can still play and be decent at his current age.
