Todd Christensen - Silver & Black Attack Selection
Awesome tight end. I was lucky enough to watch him play in the coliseum. He should be in the HOF
100% Agree
2:51 Marcus Allen with the frozen rope!
Todd was EXCEPTIONAL, both as an athlete and a person. He was a SMART ballplayer, great sense of humor yet deep down one of the most humble people you want to meet. A tragedy that he is no longer with us, BUT he IS in heaven looking down......Thank You Todd for all the great memories!!
As an aspiring football player I always find todd to be the player i call the most inspiring
Why is this man not in Hall??
A Mormon who frequently quoted poetry but still fit in with the Raiders. They knew he could play.
The pride of Henry Sheldon High School, the best athlete before Justin Herbert?
I can't claim to know about all the athletes Sheldon has produced, but I do know Todd was a multi-sport athlete, playing varsity baseball and basketball in addition to football. Throughout the nineties he would return to Sheldon for fundraising events and participate in homerun derbies, batting from the left side of the plate, though he was right-handed.
Todd had hands, that's for sure. Great guy too. RIP Todd.
With all the RULE CHANGES tight ends today wouldnt last in the 80s Travis Kelce is OVERRATED!!
My biggest takeaway besides TC’s studlyness is my god did Marcus Allen throw one helluva pretty ball
I’m here bc this absolute legend led me to a championship run on all pro 2k8 , will gault had 1100 6 tds , Rob Moore had 850 10tds , Todd Christensen had 1800yds and 20 tds . Had Randall Cunningham at QB he won League MVP with 5k 40 TDS
That's awesome! That's a pretty fun game. I know some people to this day still prefer 2k to Madden as a football simulation.
@@werther83 yeah this game put me on a lot of old school players , Todd could’ve played in todays game and been on Kelce lever with his speed and route running
@@kenniceschaffer3561 Yeah, he was definitely on the cusp of the new age tight end. Kellen Winslow had a couple of seasons before Todd with 80+ catches, then Todd ripped off a string of 4 seasons with 80+. Todd was perhaps a little undersized as a tight end, but deceptively athletic (college running back). He also was good at the game, using his mind. He hated how the draft process emphasized every measurable, and would harp on that during his broadcasting career. He was less concerned with fractions of a second in a 40 time or reps on the bench press than he was with whether a person could play.
This Todd guy wreaked havoc of my Hawks back in the day. Guy was a BEAST!
TC's route running really jumps out at you in this clip. It's amazing to watch him run routes.
I met him him 1983. I was only six he was a kind giant. I asked him if he was my dad as he had my last name and my stepfather did not. He laughed and said no I’m your uncle. “He was not” lol I received one ticket every year and got to see him every game. He gave me one of his practice jerseys. It swallowed me. That jersey hangs in my man cave today. This was a kind man. He needs to be honored in the HOF!!
Besides Dave Casper I always thought Todd Christensen was one hell of a tight end I think Todd Christensen should be in the Hall of Fame along with Jim plunkett
... fantastic!
That lateral to Marcus Allen at 5:46 was sick.
Marc Wilson to Todd Christensen. BYU and Raiders
Our draft pick Micheal Mayer reminds me of him
I think he's built more like a fullback or a linebacker than a tight end, but he makes it work.
He played fullback in college, and was drafted as a fullback. He was undersized for a tight end, but was among the first real volume pass-catching threats at the position, because he was a step faster/quicker than the traditional tight end.
Plunkett had a really gimpy arm
Why isn't Todd in the Hall of fame is was one of the best ever tight ends.
I wish he was in the Hall of Fame! But I'm biased, being one of his sons. He spent the first several years of his career as a backup and on special teams. He was very, very productive as a starter, but his peak was between 82 and 87, and 82 and 87 were strike-shortened years, so he really only had 4 to 5 seasons of peak performance, which many consider not enough. Also, he was something of a difficult personality who alienated some in the media (and elsewhere) which didn't help his chances.
nice guy - knew him in college... took a charge from him in an intramural BB game... it hurt !
as was Marc Wilson...
All D. Waller fan boys need to watch this! THIS is the gold standard AND he wasn't a fucking recovering doper!!
That ending was not cool, bro... need to find your filter. 🙁
@@thomasstevens1157 Naw...why pretend? That's what he is and THAT is a liability to a team.
I say this as an Eagles fan so I have no bias or dog in this fight: Todd Christensen should be in the HoF. He put up modern TE numbers in the 1980's.
Yeah, I'd love to see him in the hall of fame!
Who do you want him remembered by, the media? Because everyday people struggle enough to pay their bills and I’m not sure they have time to pay attention to an ex professional football player that made a decent living playing a game
Yes, people who struggle to make ends meet don't have to spend their time thinking about my dad. I guess my point is that when the history of football is discussed (by those who have the time and the inclination), my dad is not as well regarded as I believe he should be. You are free to disagree, and free to not think about my dad at all, if it is a poor use of your time.
Fabulous player was Todd. Good to see Marc WIlson doing something good too, he took a lot of hits but was never loved by the fans.
That game was the last game Marcus Allen ran less than 100 yards. After that, he went on record-breaking streak of over 100 yards rushing in game (later broken from Barry Sanders in 1997).
I grew up a Chargers fan. The defense could not stop him. There is no doubt in my mind he should be in Canton Ohio. Pro Football Hall Of Fame.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it!
Rest in peace. Should be in the Hall of Fame. Seems like he was a good man.
I believe he was a good man. I was lucky to have him as a dad.
Todd was dope. Way underrated.
Todd Christensen HOFer
What a shame the quality of the film is so poor, even worse than the Lumiére brothers, the pioneers of early cinematography in the mid 19th century.
That was a beautiful route at 3:00
Todd was a great football player, great announcer and was a wonderful human being. I grew up a Raider fan and remember Todd well.
Great player and a true sportsman.
There was no way stopping Todd. He was just that good. The great Raider.
Seeing Shannon Sharpe hearing a Raider of being great. His face 😂 That dude is super salty. I know Romanowski broke your elbow but that dude was only a Raider for a minute 😂. Great to hear of Todd Christensen from another great. I too was young at that time and grew up watching Bo. I appreciate how great he was the more I watch his highlights
Todd was one hell of a tight end. Love watching this great Raider play.
RIP Todd. One of the greatest players to ever don the silver and black.
Wish he was an anti-Dan Dierdorf.
I met him at church once in a small town in NorCal. I didn't recognize him at first (though a Raider fan) so I went up and introduced myself and said hello. He just said hello back and shook my hand like we were old friends. He was very nice.
I'm glad to hear it! He wasn't always approachable, so I'm glad you caught him in a good mood!
Outstanding player and a very interesting man. He almost reminds me of Kelce the way he could find the creases and holes to get open. Wasn't a great smooth athlete like Winslow, he relied on instincts and had great hands. If he was playing today w/ some of these QB's he'd be a 85-100 catch TE. He died way too young and sorry for your loss.
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it. Yeah, my dad wasn't the best pure athlete, kinda had to make up for it by being clever.
I was a Charger fan in that time, and If Kellen Winslow mention Todd as a great TE, well enough said!!!
I called in to talk radio and spoke to your dad. He was a total gentleman. I asked about him being in the Hall of Fame and he said it was like Key Lime Pie. He would like Key Lime Pie but he doesn't need it.
Yeah, he sure liked key lime pie! That's pretty funny, definitely something he would say. I'm not worried about the hall of fame. I understand the arguments for and against. I'm proud of what he achieved regardless, especially because he wasn't a can't-miss athletic talent, he really had to maximize the little he had, and became a 5-time pro bowler in spite of being a tad small and a tad slow.
An OG OG!
0:18: “The greatest team in football.” Last time that has or will be said again.
I'm not sure why this was a recommended read, seeing I'm from Ohio, also a Browns fan, almost as if this was sent by TH-cam as a in-your-face video, anyway, thumbs down, one on a scale from 1-10.
That's fair. I don't know how the algorithms work myself. This isn't a real channel (i.e., it's not monetized, I have no expertise), I'm just trying to preserve my dad's memory, so a couple times a year I upload a clip. Sorry if this was upsetting.
Number "46" one great Raider. We will always remember you Todd. Rest in peace.
I was at a Bills and Raiders game back in 1993 in the private boxes and press box section in Buffalo, otherwise known as the luxury suites. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life as I got to be within feet of famous broadcast people and actually got to shake hands with Al Davis, even though I did it on a dare. He was gracious, by the way. Anyhow, Todd was doing the broadcast or NBC I believe, as the color commentator, and I ran into him as I was leaving the restroom and he was going in. I was a nobody, just someone who had a coveted press box pass due to some business friends on that one and only day I ever stepped foot in there. I said hello to him and he could NOT have been nicer. Here's a guy, doing his job, on the way to use the bathroom at halftime and he took a minute to chat with me. He was a tough player and a true man. I was just floored at how cool he was and he spoke to me like I was his buddy. I always admired him as a player with his incredible toughness and how he personified the Raider mystique, and it was a really great moment. Great guy.
Wow, thanks for sharing! I'm always happy to hear stories about my dad being approachable. It didn't come naturally to him. I appreciate you telling that story.
