Just so you know, Warrick Dunn’s charity, “Homes for the Holidays”, helped Deshaun Watson (Houston Texans QB) and his mother get a home when Watson was a child.
Yes!! Warrick Dunn is one of the greatest men to play the game. His charity work & impact on lives is admirable. Will never forgive Jon Gruden for letting him leave the Bucs in the SB season. Hope Watson gets through this mess that’s going on in April 2021.

So man go into those situations thinking those specific women have already consented much like prostitution.

Top Ten Detroit Lions. Top Ten Houston Texans. Top Ten Houston Oilers. Top Ten Tennessee Titans. Top Ten Safely Tandems.
Pretty good list, dont know if it would change. Today's best Short players I can think of.. CB Marcus Jones 5'8", WR's Rondale Moore 5'7", Deonte Harty 5'6" and RB's Devin Singletary 5'7", Clyde Edwards Helaire 5'7", Boston Scott 5'6" oh and safety Tyrann Mathieu 5'9" Missing anyone?
Barry Sanders left because as he said, " He no longer got from playing the game the feeling he once did and wanted to do other things that gave him a sense of fulfilment, spend time with his family." When asked how he could just walk away with more seasons left in him and add to his already legendary accomplishment and cement his NFL legacy and earn more money? he responded, "I am financially secure, my family need not ever worry about money, he has his health and he doesn't need the game nor did he miss not playing" Funny how nobody could grasp the fact that the man they were looking at did not need the fame, desire more money , more records. The man had everything that was important already. It really says a lot about our culture and societal way of viewing ourselves and what we think is important or would make our life happier., That so many people can't understand that things wealth or fame can buy can only make you comfortable, they can not buy the very things one's soul needs to find true happiness. Corny, maybe, but the man is well centered and knows who he is and what he has and what is most important. Funny, all these years later, sport world is still talking about him and what he did, seems his legend in NFL and sport history is already preserved in stone.
I can’t tell if Steve McMicael looks more like a 21century version of Frankenstein or he somehow absorbed Steven Seagal In Some ill advised and completely pointless voodoo ritual.

@@lukewilloughby7564 Yeah, that’s a good call. I’d say it’s debatable, in the less successful accomplishments, buuut…Mongo just wasn’t as good overall. Lol! Have you seen the Twitter account that’s called something like “That’s our boy Mongo”? It’s HILARIOUS! A bunch of quick clips of him with, what Cornette calls, “Happy Feet” & shit. It could be debated, had he had more talent, his success was just as good or close simply due to the era he was in & being a part of the 4 Horsemen for so long, in high profile feuds, & carrying the US Title for so long after Goldberg relinquished it. If that makes any sense. Ernie is just an all-time legend. Look up the riot he helped start, in a way, in Cleveland, with Ox Baker. Ladd was actually the FACE, in the angle. Ox had that dreaded Heart Punch (that one Mr. Mark Calaway later used, as Mean Mark Callous, in WCW). Idk if you know the story. But, TWO different guys DIED, of HEART issues no less, after feuds with Ox. They were unrelated. But, in kayfabe, they intelligently USED that, to get Ox over, as a deadly Heel. He already had that look & demeanor, about him. On promos, he’d say, “TWO Men have died, after I laid them out with my Heart Punch!” Anyway…back in the day, Ox & Ernie had a heated feud. One night, after a match, Ox attacked Big Cat. Ox’s parented (can’t recall who it was), held Ladd whole Ox gave him the heart punch. Ladd sold it BEAUTIFULLY twitching on the ground and shit. Well, Ox have him two more. The crowd got HOT, in Cleveland, son! I mean…just RABID! So, Ernie looked up at Ox, in that accent that both Bruce Prichard & Cornette can both emulate greatly, & said (this is coming from Baker mind you), “Gomme one more, Oxy!” Ox was questioning it, saying, “They’re gonna KILL me!” “Gimme one more..!” So, Ox did. Cored got even MORE insane. “One more Oxy! One more..” Ox did it AGAIN. By THAT point, fans were literally jumping guard rails & trying to get into the ring. Ox and his partner LITERALLY had to RUN through the crowd to the bed of the arena where the Hockey goal would be, & had to JUMP the hockey wall, to get away & to the safety of the back/locker room! It’s GREAT! I bring all of this up to say…it GOT like that bc of ERNIE! For one, yeah…he told Ox to do it again…TWICE (may have even been THREE times. Lol! Ox gave him like 5 or 6 Heart Punches. And again…this is AFTER those two guys died already!)…but, it was Cat’s selling that REALLY drove it home. He sold it so well, it LOOKED like he was REALLY dying! The crowd believed they were saving Ernie Ladd’s LIFE! If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend finding it. It’s on TH-cam. Just search something like “Ox Baker Ernie Ladd Cleveland Riot”
@@lukewilloughby7564 Ahmed Johnson was another one, who took the same career path. Goldberg did, as well, to a degree. And so did Lex Luger. Oh! And Ron Simmons..one of my all-time favorites! First Black World Heavyweight Champion! I watched that match live. Even being a big mark for Big Van Vader (another of my all-time favorites), I marked out SO hard, at 12-years old, watching Ron win that title.
@@lukewilloughby7564 Haha! That would’ve been great!!! Especially PrimeTime, kn the stick! Lol! Maybe they could’ve been a tag team…both being dual-sports stars (and both in Football & Baseball). You’re right that I pales know comparison. But, honestly…it could be argued Mongo had a better career than Ahmed. Ahmed only won the IC Title for a short minute. Mongo had the US Title longer & was in the 4 Horsemen….now that I think about it. Haha! The rest, though…? Naw. Haha! Brock played for the Vikings for one season (if he made it that far), but that was the only year he EVER played football. He didn’t play as a kid, in high school, or college, at all. But, he didn’t do that, until AFTER WWE. When he had his last lauded match at Mania, against Goldberg, that’s what he was leaving to do. So, he didn’t COME FROM football to pro wrestling. It was the opposite.
Bob Sanders coming back from injury in the playoffs in i think it was '06. Gave that horrible Colts Defense a spark and was a big part of why they won a Superbowl
It was an absolute joy and privilege to watch Darren Sproles wreck teams in college. It's too bad he was never quite given his due because of his size. If you want to see how good he was as a running back, watch the 2003 Big 12 Championship game against Oklahoma where he destroys them.
@@isaacgreen3273 The only one that compares all-time would be Larry Brown in terms of success, but he is old school. 1972 MVP, but never won a title. Sproles had finesse, speed, and some power. The next guy that Kansas State had like him was John Hubert, who was ironically about Sproles's size. He was a great power back with good speed, but never had Sproles' breakaway motor. That was the thing about Sproles. It was first gear and sixth gear.
Bob Sanders is legitimately, one of the best safeties in history. Hall of Fame calibre player, and the true x-factor to the Colts '06 championship. Incredible talent with one of the biggest what ifs
Doug Flutie, best cfl player in history, 3 time Grey cup winner, 6 time cfl mvp, better than the starter on almost every team he was a back up on... is only at 6?
"He could sue the city for building the sidewalk too close to his butt." That's the best way of saying "He's short." that I've ever heard. P.S. - If Opie Hughes and Marge Simpson had a baby together, it would be Scott Ferrall. That dude sucks.
Mills gets horribly underappreciated as he played in the same era as the best backers in league history. Very smart player. Hope he gets in the hall some day
I am a lifelong Niners fan, but if I could run a clinic on how to play defense and how to tackle, I would use the great Saints linebacking corps of the 1980s. Sam Mills was a part of that group
Great to see Darrell Green on here, but another Redskin, “Downtown” Charlie Brown (one of “The Smurfs” from our ‘82 Super Bowl championship team) is conspicuous by his absence from this list. HTTR.
At 22:14 Bob Sanders (Colts #21) who’s #4 on this list misses a tackle on MJD who’s #5 on this list. Pretty cool. Both were great but Colts only won a Super Bowl in the 21st century when Sanders was on the field.
Cant wait for the updated list, Kyler Murray, oh wait we talking greatest shortest players? I thought just top 10 shortest players, talent not included.
How could Dave Meggett not even get honorable mention? The 5 foot 7 inch playmaker best known for returning kicks was certainly a favorite of Bill Parcells who employed him in all his coaching stops. Yes, he is serving a long prison sentence for criminal issues but you can't deny his impact on the gridiron.
barry sanders played for ten seasons, which is years longer than the average running back. he played nearly four times longer than average so how long was he expected to play?
Barry Sanders IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST RUNNING BACK TO EVER PLAY THE GAME PERIOD!!! It is such a shame that he was stuck with the Lions AND THEY WERE FUCJING TERRIBLE!! He had NO HELP if he could of just played for even a DECENT TEAM there would NOT EVEN BE A DEBATE because he would of put up stats that we will NEVER KNOW and its a shame!!! I mean if you look at almost ANY Barry Sanders highlight reels he is making people miss before he even gets to the line of scrimmage!! Could you imagine what he could of done with some DECENT LINEMEN OR THE THREAT OF A GOOD QB OR RECEIVERS?? SO BARRY SANDERS IS THE BEST RUNNING BACK THERE WAS, IS OR EVER WILL BE!!
Darrell Green held his own against Jerry Rice Andre Reed Cris Carter Tim brown and Michael Irvin All of whom went to the hall of fame and were taller than he was
Great to see Darrell Green on here, but another Redskin, “Downtown” Charlie Brown (one of “The Smurfs” from our ‘82 Super Bowl championship team) is conspicuous by his absence from this list. HTTR.
What about the marks brothers clayton and duper 5"7 speedster recievers floyd little terry metcalf i could name alot more but i cant believe the Marks brothers are not on this list they were greater thqn a few players on this list
Let's face it, #1 and 2 was a forgone conclusion. Consistently making top of all time lists, it should have been OTHER top shortest players besides Green and Sanders.

He’s average for an American but by quarterback standards he’s short
At 5"7 MARK DUPER AND MARK CLAYTON WERE GREAT WIDEOUTS WITH MARINO THROWING THE BALL TBESE 2 WERE OUT STANDING
There were some great coaches who weren't that tall
At 22:14 Bob Sanders (Colts #21) who’s #4 on this list misses a tackle on MJD who’s #5 on this list. Pretty cool. Both were great but Colts only won a Super Bowl in the 21st century when Sanders was on the field.
Cant wait for the updated list, Kyler Murray, oh wait we talking greatest shortest players? I thought just top 10 shortest players, talent not included.
Warrick Dunn is another player who went to Atlanta in the year before the Bucs won the Super Bowl
True and a great human being as well. He was a great player
How could Dave Meggett not even get honorable mention? The 5 foot 7 inch playmaker best known for returning kicks was certainly a favorite of Bill Parcells who employed him in all his coaching stops. Yes, he is serving a long prison sentence for criminal issues but you can't deny his impact on the gridiron.
42:17 I could sure go for some Longhorn Steakhouse Bacon Wrapped Steak.
Little known fact, when the mighty Staten Island Stapes played they still used a ten pound wooden block.
Darren Sprols was great to watch
Warrick Dunn is a gift from God
What about Mini Mac Herron? You showed him a couple of times standing there.
The list should be called Short Guys not shortest players
What about Dave Meggett? He was Parcell’s Morris V2.0
Isn’t it weird how Darren sproles was what we all wanted Reggie bush to be?
4 real
barry sanders played for ten seasons, which is years longer than the average running back. he played nearly four times longer than average so how long was he expected to play?
Before i watch this video, I know Spoles gonna be on this list.
Joe Morris stiff armed Ronnie Lott. Good. Lord.
The disrespect to Wes Welker is real!
The disrespect to Wes Welker is real!
Bryan Dawkins was pretty damn physical
When MJD decleated Merriman. Shawn was the most opposing lb in the league.
Every short QB in the NFL now and in the future needs to thank Doug Flutie for putting in their dues
Barry Sanders IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST RUNNING BACK TO EVER PLAY THE GAME PERIOD!!! It is such a shame that he was stuck with the Lions AND THEY WERE FUCJING TERRIBLE!! He had NO HELP if he could of just played for even a DECENT TEAM there would NOT EVEN BE A DEBATE because he would of put up stats that we will NEVER KNOW and its a shame!!! I mean if you look at almost ANY Barry Sanders highlight reels he is making people miss before he even gets to the line of scrimmage!! Could you imagine what he could of done with some DECENT LINEMEN OR THE THREAT OF A GOOD QB OR RECEIVERS?? SO BARRY SANDERS IS THE BEST RUNNING BACK THERE WAS, IS OR EVER WILL BE!!
Darrell Green held his own against Jerry Rice Andre Reed Cris Carter Tim brown and Michael Irvin
All of whom went to the hall of fame and were taller than he was
Darrell Green is on like 4 of these lists.
Great to see Darrell Green on here, but another Redskin, “Downtown” Charlie Brown (one of “The Smurfs” from our ‘82 Super Bowl championship team) is conspicuous by his absence from this list. HTTR.
Wes Welker should have been on this list kinda crazy
Mack Herron should be on this list.
5’1” 1/2 119lbs wow!
What about the marks brothers clayton and duper 5"7 speedster recievers floyd little terry metcalf i could name alot more but i cant believe the Marks brothers are not on this list they were greater thqn a few players on this list
"you shorter than the ref"
Best part of the whole video, lol.
Was Tiki Barber to tall for the list?
Trindon Holliday stood at 5'5" and weighed 169 lbs
And broke the sound barrier. 🔥
Dude has jets
His most famous play is getting hit by Pat McAfee 🤷🏻♂️
Flutie should be higher for the simple reason that he is the only person on earth to make Bill Belichick smile
Uhmmmm... Lawrence Taylor made smile a bunch. But yes I agree
Alejandro Sanchez True. But LT goes without saying
Odd. In all the years I've been watching football, I never noticed, or knew, nor saw, that these guys were short. None of them. Strange.
NFL's all time leading rusher did not even make the list
No Steve Smith Sr.?
this is the only NFL top 10 that does has a height limit
Leaving out Emmitt Smith because he is exactly 5'9" is comical.
im surprised emmitt smith wasnt on this list.
Jack Emanuel "Soupy" Shapiro.... shortest in history of NFL at 5'1"
Let's face it, #1 and 2 was a forgone conclusion. Consistently making top of all time lists, it should have been OTHER top shortest players besides Green and Sanders.
That is so disgusting that he did so good in New England and yet they were ready to get rid of him because he was short
How are steve Smith & steve Largent not on this list 2 of greatest wrs of all time despite their height
Steve Smith, yes but he made honorable mention. Steve Largest was about 2 inches too tall for this list.
I am little too and my Daddy always said Dynamite comes in little packages
Thanks chargers and saints for letting sproles come to the team and impact us and we got a ring thanks to his contributions in 2017..fly eagles 🦅 fly 💚🤍
Your shorter than the ref makes me laugh
Steve smith reminds me of Nelly playing football
Pat Fischer
5'9" Pat Fischer vs 6'8" Harold Carmichael
Yo Mongo has an awful lot to say for someone who is at best a footnote on a one year flash in the pan defense
*Maurice Jones Drew and Darren Sproles are peeking into the chat
Tyreek! Tyreek! Tyreek! lol
Barry Sanders (Oklahoma State Cowboys) is the NFL best shortest players never went (or play) to the Superbowl!!!
