Ok
Darren Sproles was a beast in college. I was glad he had a long, successful professional career.
Had a decently long career for sure. The way he hid through those tackles. Great vid lauren as always
Darren Sproles was destined to play for the Philadelphia Eagles that red helmet says it all! Thank you brother Darren for helping my Eagles win Superbowl 52! #Fly Eagles Fly!
LOVED when i saw a segment awhile back about Sproles and his wife helping their two daughters train for track in school. Seemed like such a great family - super loving but also raising a couple killers on race day😂
Darren Sproles deserves the HoF. I really like your channel.
Great video Lauren! Darren Sproles was so fun to watch! Other short running backs that I think of now are Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Deuce Vaughn. Also you should do a video for some of my favorite Chiefs players, Jamaal Charles and Eric Berry
Dam this was long over due thank you! loved watching him play. Sproles was the most elusive and versatile player ever. Getting to see him and antonio gates on the field together was hilarious and fun to watch.
One of my favorite players when I was a Philly fan. A special player that you don’t see in the league often enough.
Big heart. His special teams play could turn games around. He was also dangerous in the backfield. He made teams respect the run, and he could catch. A dangerous weapon.
Oh and the guy was tough.
Firefly! Drew Brees shouted him out yesterday.
Thank you for the video I became a Chargers fan in 2007 I’m glad I got to see him play as a Chargers Sucks we a GM at the time no paying players. always love watching him. I would always call him lightning bug⚡️⚡️
Love you adding the confrontation part. I always loved Sproles but in that moment I did even more.
I can't help but wonder if he was born a decade or 2 earlier, if he would have had to make a career in the CFL.
Michael "Pinball" Clemons was my favourite athlete growing up. He's 5'6 as well and had a lot of similarities to Sproles.
Darren Sproles was one of those "Never played for my team (: Jets) but I loved his game" athletes. Dude was as you said so damn shifty you couldn't help but watch him play.
Jamal Lewis is another lesser acknowledged one I loved watching growing up - he let off a hell of a run on my Jets once that just from a sheer respect angle I couldn't get mad at, think he was with the Browns then.
Darren Sproles was one of a kind who was the shortest player in the NFL at 5 foot 6, 190 pounds coming out of Kansas State. I couldn’t believe he played 15 seasons in the NFL with different teams. He was indeed a force to be reckoned with! Known for his incredible agility and versatility, he made a significant impact as a running back and return specialist. Over his career, he accumulated 3,552 rushing yards, 4,840 receiving yards, and 23 touchdowns. His ability to make big plays in crucial moments earned him a reputation as one of the most elusive players in the NFL.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
Bro, why are you using chat gpt for TH-cam comments
That's how Barry Sanders was. He was so short no one could tackle him and he would just zoom down the field while all the defenders looked confused.
10:56
seeing Jason Kelce fly downfield blocking one dude after another like it's a fucking movie is so great.
As a chargers fan I loved him there and was sad to see him go. He was one of my favorite players to watch but I still loved seeing him have success on the Saints and Eagles..
I was just thinking about Darren Sproles the other day. Dude was electrifying!
Great video! I enjoyed watching!
Sproles reminds me of Pinball Clemons from the CFL
Stocky and short RB that can shift on a dime and has that Forrest Gump instinct to RUN
He was elite!
This is one of my new favorite channels on this site and this video made me smile from beginning to end. Keep up the good work!
i truly enjoy your analysis of all your subjects. Thank you so much.
They underestimated him his entire career, and he proved them wrong every damn time. What a player!
Great video as always SheGotSports! Darren Sproles was a really good, tough player. He was great for my Saints and I hate that his time with our squad ended bad. I have no bad feelings toward him and still got love for him. Glad he was able to thrive with the Eagles and he is doing good working for them in his retirement.
Man as a colts fan myself this dude Darren sproles cooked us every time
Legit when I was editing this video I realized every time Darren had a career game it was against the Colts, like legit every time, even like a decade apart
@@SheGotSportswow what are the chances
@@SheGotSports don’t forget our Giants. He heard us a few times as well very good video by the way….
This one was a classic!
My hometown Colts were featured numerous times here, and they were literally run over by Darren!
Sproles was the real deal.
I'm not sure what's worse:
NFL execs laughing at him when his height was measured at the combine. (Every last one of them deserved to be fired on the spot)
or
The Saints trading him for a 5th round pick. In what world are you going to find a player as productive as Darren Sproles in the 5th round? No wonder they went 7-9 so often.
I played against him in the high school 6A state championship. Manhattan High vs Olathe North. He had 20 carries for 200 yards. I never knew the story about how the Jayhawks did him dirty. He beat us on that very Jayhawks field. Coming from Manhattan, having him come to K State was amazing and exactly the vindication I needed for losing to his team my senior year. Class act.
Great video Lauren I appreciate all these details here’s a fun fact for you all his high school that he played at Olathe North is actually big rivals with the high school in currently attending Gardner Edgerton.
Two words about Darren: Barry Sanders.
💯💪🏾!! You had to be there!!
My fellow short king.
One of my favorite college players ever, and one of the first players I cheesed with on NCAA 😂
Couldn't stand playing against him when he was on the Chargers though. He always murdered the Colts.
One of my favorite players. Glad he got a ring with my birds #flyeaglesfly🦅🦅🦅
Darren Sproles was hard to get after cause his speed was dangerous that's why he was called the lightning bug for a reason what a career he had with Chargers, Saints and Eagles
Sproles was my first and only Eagles Jersey. Love him!
I don’t even have to watch it yet. You getting a like just because of the player a lone. Rep for the short kings
I love how he kept the same 43 number throughout his football career, even when he was a kid.
Can you bring back your pie in the face challenges? Those were hilarious 😭😭😭😭
The disrespect from the Eagles bringing in 2 running backs after a pro bowl season.
Size was also the issue with the next Sproles type RB. Mar'Keise "Bucky" Irving
I absolutely enjoy your channel
as a 5’6 guy he’s literally my favorite player ever you don’t know how glad 15 year old me was when my birds got him 🦅
What an inspiration for people who don't even play football, like me
Great video as always
legend
these videos are very well done! the research, editing, and your delivery are all fantastic, and an excellent selection of topics as well! consistently terrific content and i highly recommend that fellow sports fans subscribe.
thanks for sharing...
You’re fuckin awesome dude.
Love your content so much.
He was my favorite player when he was on the saints and I was so happy when he joined my Egles!!
That bench was insane. No wonder he was so hard to tackle
To still make a name for yourself when playing third string behind a player like LT is something special in itself.
Hi Lauren!
Olathe Kansas legend!
noticing throughout the video that some of the best games of his career all came against the colts LOL
You should make a video on Chip Kelly
A lot of people dont know this, but Darren Sproles actually had a very pink asshoIe. Like Magenta. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!
Another great video,good luck on sunday when your Giants face my Eagles
Sproles was always my last pick in the fantasy draft. He got me a few wins I shouldn't have. He rocks
Hey can you please go live for an entire game soon?? I miss that/ your commentary and reactions. Come on now, we’ve been good.. Lol thanks SGS!
Thanks for sharing the story
Beautiful ❤❤
I understand the height issue for QBs, but running backs? Low center of gravity, less body to tackle, etc.
It's a shame because I'm younger that I got exposed to Darren Sproles when he was an older vet rather than early in his career
6:50 Thinking of how crazy that running back room is looking back, Michael Turner was a star when he went to Atlanta
For one year 😂
You gotta look up Bob Sanders, the biggest hitting 5' 8 safety ever. That's right men who you tower over know more about the sport 😂
SheGotSports: I’m going to apply the proven True Crime template to football to capture the male audience while relaying fascinating information because I’m a genius
Anyone taking raiders ml this weekend?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Tristan holiday
Had no idea how insane his combine numbers were. Benching over 100% body weight for 20+ reps is wild.
Will you be doing another "Name That NFL Player" video soon?
Eagles legend Darren Sproles
As a giants fan, I’m glad Sproles isn’t on the Eagles anymore lol
Welp, time for me to get back in the gym and turn into a 5'2" bulldozer.
Although he didn't have as good of a career, Howard Stevens was 5 feet , 5 inches. He plays some six seasons.
played great football and finished college with a real degree
⚡️⚡️⚡️Darren sproles ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Does tinder have to make an exception for him not meeting basic height requirements?
Gotta clean up those facts, but doing great!
Staten Island Stapletons🤨
You do a Hines ward video I’ll sub
One of the baddest mfers I ever seen with my own eyes
Darren Sproles was the goat
Has anybody ever told you that you like Caroline Ellison?
Yankees are in the World Series, you heard?
Wait... drafted by the Cowboys and then playing for the Chargers?
Hes one of the shortest players in the NFL. not the shortest. I believe that belongs to trindon Holliday on the broncos
But still a great video and I still love Sproles
She never said he was the shortest, and said specified that it was a player named Jack Shapiro.
Wow a degree in speech pathology? That's what I'm doing too😊

He was the Barry Sanders of the 2010's
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rip to a young colts fan watching this dude knock us out the wildcard and playoffs every year when he was with the chargers
comment

So your sayying I still have a chance 🥹 “I’m 5 ft at 13
