Anquan Boldin, Hines Ward and Steve Smith are the toughest WRs to play in the last 20 years.
Absolute legends
Andre Johnson?
Joshua Soto ohhhhh shit him too
What about Randy Moss also? He is an honorable mention imo
Julian Edelman is pretty underrated
Anquan Boldin knows how to make a first impression:
1st game with Cards: 10 Catches 217 yards 2 tds
1st game with Ravens: 7 catches 112 yards
1st game with 49ers: 13 catches 208 yards 1 td
1st game with Lions: 3 catches 35 yards but moved ahead of Andre Reed in receiving yards.
Very good at making first impressions.
If you want a better Lions first impression, his first game with the Cardinals was in Detroit. As a Lions fan I was super impressed and I followed him his whole career. Even his last year in Detroit he was very clutch for us and I think he was 2nd on the team in TD catches.
1st game with the Bills - RETIRED
didn't know
@@KCWDigitalMedia still memorable.
I think the fact he chose Baltimore shows he knew the amount of love the city had for him. Everyone in Baltimore knows we would not have won a super bowl without Q. Still my favorite Bmore Wr (next is Steve Smith)
I’m a 49ers but he came up big for the ravens in the super bowl when the 49ers were coming back. He played for my FSU Seminoles and was glad when 49ers signed after the super bowl. He almost helped us win.
Two players with only a few years combined. True, both are hungry gamers which makes fan favorites. I'm trying to think whos doing this nowba days
I think if Larry played with a good QB his whole carrier he would be the best WR of all time
His QBs haven’t been terrible for the most part.
Meditation Mayham Kurt Warner, Carson Palmer. You could say Kyler but it’s too early to say
@@meditationmayham3590 he has only had 3 good QBs his entire career and Carson Palmer was only good for a year.
@Angry Monkey95 I agree I think Fitz hasn’t had a good QB in some time
Bro his QBs weren't horrible Kurt Warner who's already a HOF and Carson palmer who always been an above average qb in the league
This man was an absolute tank, he was always consistent as I remember, always a solid wide receiver but I kind of forgot about him.
I don’t see how, I don’t see how this video even was made lol everybody knows boldin is a goon and he got a super bowl under his belt
He was a tank and he got a ring😈
Agree. Ravens got him for physicality vs Steelers & he helped the Ravens get a Super Bowl ring.
Everybody did, once larry came, and he left, it was the larry show
@@E3litecompany big facts!
At least he’s got a ring before he retired.
Noooo
He deserved that joint.
“Raymundo Lewis the third” bruh I’m dead
The_Real_Zillo that’s not what that says....lmfaoooo
@@matthewcrane5294 yes it is
As a lifelong Seahawks fan I remember Boldin very well. I hated seeing him dominate the Hawks nearly every game, but I respected his skills. Man basically never dropped the ball.
Anquan was cold, If we’re talking overshadowed: We gotta bring up Marques Colston!! Please do a what happened to on the best to never make a pro bowl
Facts!!! I never forgot about that dude but always wondered what happened to him
I don't understand when Colston left Saints why no one picked him up?!🥴 He retired way to early because of that
@@isaz597 he relied on drew too much
@@shinski8114 I mean the same thing could be said about Michael Thomas now
Facts !!!
I had no idea he was in the league before Fitzgerald, it kinda just feels like Larry has been in the NFL forever
He has been. Larry legend is to football what Betty white is to life. It's just an excepted thing both of them will be here forever
@@warrenward6294 yeah, the way I thought Michael Jackson would
I sweaaa
Boldin was a DAWG, ain’t no CB want any of that when he caught the ball. Bro was a whole powerback after the catch
Yeah, it was like beast mode playing wideout.
What you said 💯
When Fitz & Quan were together...freaking beautiful to watch.
Boldin is my favorite WR of all time... I followed him at FSU. He reminded me of Jerry Rice
TY SO MUCH!!!
If you wanna talk about hands and strength. Anquan is the epitome of it
Cards really had Kurt Warner, Edgerrin James, Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald on one side of the ball. Not to mention good ass role players (shout out Steve Breaston and Tim Hightower) Shouldve won that ring smh
They really should've. If you rewatch Santonio Holmes' TD "catch," you will notice that he only had one foot down on the ground. The refs blew the call that ended up being the game winning TD. The Cardinals really should've won the ring.
Beanie Wells would have done it alone.
The defense though, our best defender was Adrian Wilson, after that we had Karlos Dansby, a non-existent pass rush, and rookie DRC.
To this day no one will tell me that Holmes TD was a catch. IDGAF.
@@yankeeshater wouldn’t be the first ring the refs handed to the Steelers. Did it in 05 too
Yes! One of my favorite players to watch of all time. Dude was a beast. Hall of famer for sure.
At least he got a ring he so underrated he got the stats, records, and a ring he an HOF if you ask me
As a Ravens fan, always gonna love Q, he was an absolute monster of YAC receiver that helped us get another title. Love the vid!
Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason man... Two of the toughest and most underappreciated receivers in the history of the game
Yet the Ravens were too cheap to keep him for some reason, he is literally the reason they won the super bowl that year.
I'm a STEELERS fan , now that he retired I respect him even more! He used to drive me to abuse my furniture! Also cool as hell he retired a RAVEN! My respect to Q & the Ravens!
CZECH MATE good luck to the y’all this season it’s gonna be exciting seeing the ravens vs Steelers
BmoreAkuma definitely wasn’t the main reason we won lmao. But he did help tremendously. I’d say joe flacco was the reason we won. Led us on one of the greatest postseasons of all time
No joke, he was my favorite player. Underrated hands. Always caught away from his body but everyone just focused on his physicality. I remember watching nfl films back in the day with Emmitt Smith praising in his rookie season.
That time at QB set him up perfectly to read defenses and coverages. He was a force.
I remember Boldin as always being one of the tougher guys on the field and I can't really recall a play/time where he wasn't playing hard.
You mean Anquan “just throw it up into triple coverage and I’ll catch it, flaco” Boldin?
.u b
Hey he even made Flaky Flacco look good. That's damn impressive
Yeah, lead him into that nasty hit. Shane Falco sucks. I have said it many times over. If the Ravens had a real quarterback they would have beat my Steelers more often. Go back to some of those playoff games.
Falco, 3 and 5 throws it in the ground. Many times.
Shoutout to you Flem. I found your channel because I love NCAA 14, and started watching your Rutgers series. I appreciated your humor, skill at the game and storytelling ever since. It’s just good to see another black man build something from the ground up. Keep it goin bro
say it again ‼️🗣
Bro same Rutgers all the way
My cardinals lost their mind when they let bolden go. Dumbest decision for us ever
I felt the same way when my Ravens traded him to the 49ers. He was a beast.
@Jonah Falcon Yea, he was ready to get paid instead of making a contract that would allow to keep talent around.
I'm from Illinois and a Bears fan....but the Fitz, Bolden and Warner Cards is my favorite football team of all time...and it's not even close. They even had some cool as hell players on defense! Adrian Wilson is one of my favorite safeties of all time Rolle and DRC! God I loved that team so much.
Caleb O'Donnell we could of went back to the Super Bowl. Instead of letting stars go we should have build around what we had
my cardinals often make decisions like this. its part of the reason we are perpetually bad. like why did we let calais campbell go for a 5th round pick? shit like that is why its hard to be a fan of this team.
Aye Flem do Marques Colston next, the most criminally underrated receiver there is
Nah, Roddy White was super underrated as well, plus his career stats are better and he was like the Boldin to Julio Jones
@@aaronrhodes7268 he already did roddy white bro
@@steven8834 Yeah but you were talking about underrated receivers, not ones he hasn’t done yet. I think Roddy was more underrated than Marques and I’m a saints/cardinals fan
@@aaronrhodes7268 my guy, read the comment. I clearly said “flem do Marques colston next”
As a die hard cards fan thank you for this !!
I see the NFL having Anquan and Fitz inducted in the same year. It would be a great story.
That'd be too soon for boldin no ? Considering Fitz is 100% first ballot
@@GO-wb1gf Anquan was drafted first. If Fitz would be eligible, so would Anquan.
@@Shinbu1128 I love Anquan but I doubt he goes in so soon even tho I believe he should be in within the next 10 years
Right. Fits is a beast too. They have great personalities too amongst their teammates
I always remember Boldin was a beast. I feel he was highly underrated he was good at what he did. Flem will you ever do a vid on underrated players you think should belong in either the HOF or Ring of honors for teams?
“Throw it in the air and catch a bomb like Anquan”
Retired and now he's doin his activist thing. Shot out to the 561 legend!!!
As a niners fan I always loved Boldin’s game even before he became a niner, deebo Samuel remind me so much of Boldin 💯 Boldin was a true dawg !
Deebo basically him but faster.
Yanik Gonzalez facts
Did you like him in that Ravens niners Superbowl?
Jacabo Blanco obviously I didn’t want him to have the best game 🤷🏻♂️
I grew up with Q in Muck City, so I know him on a personal level and I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing my bro some real love on your platform🙌🏿 You brought back a lot of memories during our high school years. You left out that during his high school years he was a hell of a Basketball and baseball player, in fact I think baseball was his first love as a kid. But in all thank you for showing Q some respect on your channel and I’ll make sure him and his family sees this, love ❤️
Been following you for 2-3 years , you the man with these videos , much appreciated and I use a lot of your segments for my sports page , Stay doing your thing king !
Growing up in Tallahassee I gotta say it was so much fun watching him play at Doak, you could see the potential he carried and was always a threat to go off when healthy.
Yea i loved watching him play at Doak.
I remember watching Larry Fitzgerald's A Football Life documentary, and he was kinda cocky, then Kurt Warner said he wasn't even the number 1 wide out on the team, and I always thought it was weird that Larry Fitzgerald, one the best of All-Time, wasn't the number 1 on the team. Keep up the good work FlemLo
I though Fitzgerald was a nice humble guy?
@@masonkinter6821 me too because I never heard about him off the Field
@Mason Kinter, he is, but I believe it was after his mother died, that he became the version of Larry we love
Yeah I remembered how Larry explained that Kurt told him he could only do one thing but could be much better
It was motivation because he knew that he wasn't putting in the work and only relying on athleticism/talent Kurt knew Larry was the best on the team and so did Larry. Larry wanted to earn that respect though
He did my Niners so well, too bad we couldn’t get him that Super Bowl victory 😭😭 thanks for dropping some respect on an underrated legends name tho 🙏🏾
“Q” will always be my all time favorite WR. I was so heartbroken when Baltimore traded him after all the work he put in for them.
I love how the “CUE THE WAYNE!” has become a staple in all your vids!
I think it's Cue Lil Wayne
@@eazynosteroidz3074 no
One of those rare receivers that was looking to break a tackle rather than avoid the defender. Loved the toughness and passion he put into the game and will always be respected by many. 💪
You can have a case that Randy Moss did the same thing but I do agree that he was very underrated.
I will always respect Anquan Boldin.
@@theeunknown3988 I feel like Randy Moss had a much better ability to catch the ball against defenders whether it be jump balls or any contest plays, but Boldin had a better ability to get YAC. Both were fantastic of course. :)
@@MinusLifeTV I agree, Moss was that one dude who could absolutely body defenders without even trying. And of course Anaquan was that one guy who caught it and just trucked you.
@@theeunknown3988 He one-hand caught it past prime Revis with ease, just effortless stuff by Moss. Not a big Pats guy, but man Brady-Moss connection would've been unreal if they stayed together longer.
The production value of these videos is ever improving, and the quality of the content is so consistent. Love your vibe and what you share with us FlemLo!
Found your channel this year and I’ve watched damn near all your videos from the new to the old man I love how you or these together and the inspirational quotes you give here and there
I remember in madden 10 I would always trade for him and make him my running back. Calling him a beast would be an understatement. He was almost unfair and that was before he started getting better.
Him Hines ward andre Johnson and Steve Smith the most physical wrs I've ever seen
Randy Moss?
Randy Moss was a 6'4 deep threat
@@dantelawson6626 Eh, he was powerful in the sense that he could rip the ball straight from your hands and then run though you. He was a good deep threat cause of his size and his abilities.
No lie. Especially Steve smith and andre
@@MichaelJohnson-yu8vj Steve Smith was the man, I would always love watching him play, he was that one dude who you loved watching when you're favorite team wasn't playing them and the one dude you absolutely hated when he was killing you're team.
Anquan was a fun receiver to watch dude was an absolute beast. Another great video Flem Ali Raps. Keep up the good work man.
Fleming, thanks for your stories! I’ve been listening for at least a year and your takes are so intelligent. I love the professionalism you put into your work and I hope it leads to some huge and lucrative. Thank you for being a voice of reason!
Anquan boldin was the man in madden him and Fitzgerald were dangerous
For real
Madden 11 was cheap with them
@@matthiaskirby7654 which one I played mostly ncaa
@@matthiaskirby7654 madden 10 was when ppl started to get nerfed on ps2
Hell yeah! Thanks for covering Anquan Boldin, FlemLo! Warner to Fitz and Boldin was amazing to play with in Madden and also to see in real life.
Great video man!!! I’m high as a fly and saw this channel and as a huge football fan I appreciate all of your hard work. Thank you and keep it up!
Great that you did a video on this spectacular guy on the field and off of the field! Thank you, Flem!
one of my fav Reciever's to watch when I was growing up, dude was the definition of a Bowling Ball, he just bounced off dudes like it was nothing
I'll never forget the Jets game where he got his face smashed. One of the scariest hits ever. Tough as nails.
Man, I appreciate these videos so much.
Anquan was crucial in the Ravens Super Bowl season. Even though he wasn’t WR1 or the most looked at player, he was by far one of the biggest contributors with the crazy plays that he would make. Always reliable and would come out when you needed him most
Flemo I’ve learned so much about certain players that I questioned where they went. Thank you for telling us these amazing stories! Much love!🔥💯
If I was to ever play in the NFL, i would have wanted to match the style of Anquan! Mega underrated
You have some of the only videos I regularly go back and watch. Such brilliant storytelling.
Aye flemo thank you for making these videos your videos always distract me from my depression whennit hits. Keep doing what you do man dont know how much it helps me thru dark moments while posted up alone.
It still pains me when I think about that Super Bowl we where so close and Larry was so close it’s sad knowing he probably won’t get that ring
He was a beast he played with my team RAVENS! Won his 1st ever ring
And prevented the Niners from winning one! Thanks Ravens!
And prevented my jaguars
Edit:lol Nvrm we just sucked
Great story! You do a great job putting these videos together! Thanks!
My man Femlo, hadn't check for your vids in awhile, and I'm blown away by your production value now, wow. Awesome work and may the blessings continue
FlemLo thanks for giving Q some love! He and Adrian Wilson are two of my favorite all time Cards players, both top 5 easily. Boldin brought leadership, humbleness and toughness to a skill position that isn't usually known for any of those traits. You mentioned Q getting his jaw broken, but the fact he took NO MEDs and then rebroke it when his kid jumped up into arms straight into his jaw is unreal. He still played that week. Dude was such a baller, great vid FlemLo, thanks!
Always loved watching anquan play. Dude was a monster Everytime he stepped on the field regardless of what team he played for. He def was a under the radar type player, which I'll never understand, but I guess it just plays into his style and gave him that chip that lead him to be great.
Bruh been a sub for over awhile now and your content has always been high quality. So happy to see you get the luv and respect you deserve man.
Great video, thanks for putting it together. I remember after 2002 season, feels like yesterday, when the Cards lost their top 3 best wr's in Sanders, Boston, and speedster MarTay Jenkins. Was thinking what in the heck are we going to do at receiver, then ffwd to that week 1 Detroit game and Boldin cleared up any doubt. It is too bad Bryant Johnson never panned out, but it really worked out that the Cards dumped their wr group that offseason or probably would have remained content with just drafting Johnson and skipping Q in the 2nd round. Also, in hindsight between the wr dump and Johnson not looking like a #1, even with a fair rookie year in yards, but pulled the trigger on on Fitz as well. To this day wr's are my favourite draft picks because the excitement that came from the Cards picks starting with Boston in 99. Good video on him btw. That was an unfortunate decline, but also a contributor to what helped create the Boldin and Fitz tandem for so many years I will forever cherish as a Cards fan.
He didn’t have hands he had claws he snatched everything in his area
Awww Flem!!! This jawns gonna be hot!!!! Even tho I’m an Eagles fan I’ve always loved Bolden. Tough as nails!!!
Ya didny have to state you an eagles fan the word jawn did that lol
Matthew Corcoran haha 😂 niiice!!!
Flemlo, you're a great narrator and story teller. I really enjoy the perspective that you put behind your vids and the human element you provide. Big love, bro.
Being a longtime Raven fan I was pumped when we got him and he definitely helped get a super bowl win. A true throwback cat as you stated as tough as they come. Glad he retired a Raven. Good piece Flem very enjoyable watching.
Boldin is my all time favorite player on the Cardinals. He was an absolute beast on the field. An awesome dude off the field. Happy he was able to get a ring with the Ravens. He deserved it.
Flem, can you do what happened to my father next bro? Been subscribed since day 1
Who's your dad
Lol, that's funny but sad. I'm sorry.
Lol good shit
Great vid. Have mad respect for Anquans work ethic and toughness
FEMLO thanks dude.. was in a shitty mood but your video was way more positive than I expected and I'm an optimistic kinda guy lol. Keep it up bro
Flemlo with another banger🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man was literally Marshawn Lynch playing WR in an alternate universe... Straight up beast. 💪🏽
😩🤣💪🏾
Stop using the word “literally” if you don’t know what it means and how to use it
Tora Chan tell flemlo that
Tora Chan I know you are Chinese so I’ll educate you on the informal meaning of “literally.” It is used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true. You can “literally” find this in the dictionary and also in English books.
Flemlo always coming out with the bangers love your content, keep it up dawg
love the videos flemlo! you are my favorite youtuber by far. you have a lot of wisdom
"Bout a Popeyes biscuit away from being a tight end."
😂
I remember the guys in my fantasy league laughing when I picked him first , .... then when his numbers put me in the super bowl and won it .
How long ago did you win that FSB 😂😂
Great vid. He is an amazing person. I teach at a neighboring high school and a former colleague taught Q in high school and always said he was an excellent student and always kind and respectful. Since retiring he hosts a Learn to Read camp in Pahokee every summer and the beautiful new stadium at Pahokee high is named after him because he donated $4 million to build it. He does not get the credit he deserves for his on field accomplishments but those pale in comparison to the man he is off the field. A truly walk the walk great human being.
Keep up the great work Flem, your vids are well researched and high quality. Best NFL bio channel on TH-cam.
FAV player of all time (I'm from AZ). Q has the MOST receptions in history for a ROOKIE. Toughest receiver of all time, a straight dawg, STRONG hands. 82 TD's, 1076 receptions, a CHAMPION. Bonafide HOF. I don't think he'll get the recognition early, but he'd better get in there. It's cool how life comes full circle, I moved to Detroit, had the pleasure of meeting him when he played w/the Lions (irony where he played his 1st game)
He's was a beast especially when he played with the Cardinals
Boldin was a beast. One of the bright spots when my niners were declining. He was the Ravens MVP in the superbowl run. He was consistent til the end
Thanks for making a Q vid! I loved him as a Cardinal, and was excited that he won a title with the Ravens. He played with so much heart!!
To think that he put up the stats that he did while spending most of his prime behind Fitz is incredible, guy is a Hall of Famer
Who was sleeping on anquan tho? I thought everyone knew he was a beast...
Im puzzled
@@Dandre181 same 😂
He was even a beast his last year with the Lions , pretty sure he was 37 and put up the most third downs and TDs on the the team
Thanks for the video! Keep all the unbiased content coming
Flemlo aye bro I love the videos please don’t slow down keep pumping them bro mad respect and love my favorite part of your videos is when you say QUE Da Wayne that’s my ish bro!!!
This a good one chief !
the 2012 ravens were my favorite team of all time, they had so many great players i miss that team
2020 ravens sort of remind me of 2012. Both teams started out 5-1. In 2012 we played like trash in the middle of the season but later we started doing good again. Hopefully we can bounce back now
i usually dont care for these types of sports video, but you my man do a great job at this. infact something i barley watch i ended up subscribing too because you skills man! you get great info, think logically, great production skills and very smooth with the dialog. say up mane!
Great job man...I enjoy all your videos.
I remember looking up this guy’s stats and thinking “HOF vote for me!”
Yeah bro till this day haven’t seen another receiver like him and we probably won’t
DK Metcalf is Boldin but better...Watch
Tye Tedlock nah he slow
He ran a faster 40 than Boldin you dipstick
Tye Tedlock Oh we will see alright
@@tyet8895 bruh DK is not as good as Boldin. He's playing a system in Seattle where all he runs are slants and go routes
Good job! Your work is appreciated!
Absolutely love your videos bro...keep doing your thing salute... 💯
I'll always remember how DEVASTATED Kurt warner was after he almost got this man Killed, but showed his toughness and helped bring home a ring in Baltimore
Love this guy I'm so glad he was able to get a SB ring before he left the league!
IT'S HIGH TIME SOMEONE SHOW ANDRE RISEN SOME LOVE! FOR WITHOUT SOME BAD DECISIONS AND SOME LACKLUSTER QUARTERBACKS, HE COULD'VE BEEN JERRY RICE ii
One of the most under appreciated WRs, this dude was consistent, durable , and put up numbers. He deserves to be in the HOF
So happy someone else is finally showing my team some love
