This video is a tribute to one of my favorite NFL players Thurman Thomas........... I DON'T OWN THE COPYRIGHTS TO THIS VIDEO!!!!!!! #thurmanthomas #buffalobills #halloffame
Some how, some way it appears great receiving backs are penalized for having hands. Marshall Faulk I feel suffers from this. I am just realizing that Thomas might have run THE best wheel routes in football.
I'm a Lions fan and I love Barry Sanders above all RBs. Gotta remember that Barry backed up Thurman in college at OSU, though. Maybe one of the best 1-2 punch RB combos in college football in my lifetime. Respect.
He would put up at least 100 yards of production every Sunday, catching the ball all over the field, running sideline to sideline, or right through the (very good) line, then break ankles in the open field. One of the best backs ever, on one of the most prolific offenses ever. I remember the toss play in the first Madden worked almost every time for a huge gain. Then Bruce would get 10 sacks a game- they were so good!!
I love his quote at the start of this video about the best RB being from Oklahoma St....Thurman Thomas & Barry Sanders are my two favorite RBs of all time..
If they had fantasy football in the 90s he'd have been the no brainer first pick in every draft for 4 years straight... but he's not considered in the same class as Barry or Emmitt. People are dumb.
Perfect back in that K-Gun offense. Would punish you many different ways. Considering the era, they had a really potent offense. Shame they couldn’t beat NYG in that 1st SB. That was, by far, their best opportunity.
YO THANK YOU.......JSN.....THIS MY FAVORITE ALL TIME PLAYER....SHOULD HAVE BEEN MVP OF THAT GIANTS SUPERBOWL......HIS CUTS WERE PHENOMENAL....BARRY WOULD BREAK YOUR ANKLES SIDE TO SIDE THURMAN WOULD RUN STRAIGHT AT YOU AND BREAK YOUR ANKLES GOING FORWARD.......STOP IT PEOPLE MARSHALL WAS GREAT BUT THRUMAN STARTED IT ALL.....GREATEST SCREEN BACK OF ALL TIME......THEY PUT HIM IN THE SLOT AS A RECEIVER IN THE FIVE WIDE.......4.6 FORTY......NOT THE FASTEST BUT ONE OF THE QUICKEST FEET ALL TIME.... BEST CUTS ALLTIME.....LOL LOL...I LOVE HOW CHRIS BERMAN LOVES THURMAN LIKE I DO......HES BIASED....HE GAVE HIM THOSE NAMES THURMAL....AN THE THURMANATOR.....
It's funny, everyone talks about Barry Sanders being the best ever. I think Barry had the best moves ever but Thurman Thomas was one of the most Complete blacks of all time. I put him up there with Walter Payton and Marcus Allen. Some people don't even know who he is. A shame.
@bosmang6 LMAO! That's hilarious. I doubt if he was completely black. Me being Puerto Rican, I have Black blood but as you can see I'm not completely black either! LoL. Yeah man, Thurman definitely is forgotten about & underappreciated! He's one of the best to ever do it. And he's black! LMAO. 🇵🇷
BreuckelensFinest Thurman Thomas was Marshall Faulk, before Marshall Faulk. He was a great RB, great runner, and great pass catcher. He and Emmitt Smith, were probably the best complete backs, during the 90’s.
O.J. Simpson was a HOME RUN HITTER!!! His speed is what makes him the absolute G.O.A.T. (personal matters aside), he possessed EVERYTHING Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Gale Sayers, Barry Sanders ...and even Thurman Thomas had BUT none of them possessed what O.J. HAD ...that WORLD CLASS SPEED!!!
Phenomenal athlete and great person. Thurman and his wife Patti have worked many Hunter's Hope events in honor of Jim's late son Hunter James Kelly. Thurman: Great athlete, great man,
He wasn't a guy who was the best at any ONE thing - wasn't the absolute best at moves, speed, acceleration, breaking tackles, power, etc. But he was really really good at all of those things, and catching, and pass blocking. Might be the most complete running back in history - Herschel Walker is the only one who's close, and only because he was also a dangerous kick returner too.
I dont care about the hype of the new bills team, they are nothing compared to this team, doubt allen will ever even get the bills to the superbowl nevermind 4 in a row! Sorry i love my bills, but this was the legend squad.
Most underrated RB of all-time. One of the all-time greats yet you never hear about him. Wild.
Some how, some way it appears great receiving backs are penalized for having hands.
Marshall Faulk I feel suffers from this.
I am just realizing that Thomas might have run THE best wheel routes in football.
Roger Craig was the pioneer of the dual threat running back, but Thurman Thomas revolutionized it.
Bo gets all the accolades but Thurman (and the Bills in general) was a monster in Tecmo Super Bowl.
I'm so glad the Pro Bowl team has Thurman and Bo together. So many blowout victories on both of their backs.
YOU SIR ARE SURELY AN OLD FART TO KNOW A THING LIKE THAT !!!
intsoccersuperstar1 😂😂
Yep
Yeah they were
If they'd only have won those superbowls... Jim Kelly Thurman Thomas Bruce Smith would be included in every goat argument.
Andre reed is right up there with Irvin the bills weakness was the def
Bruce is tho lol

Maybe...........It is the best 1-2 combo......
@@JsnHighlights1316 100%
Agree from Buffalo but a Chiefs fan.. Barry was the shit hands down.. Woulda broke records but he didnt
He is forever my guy. The best All-Purpose Running Back of All-Time.
It's awesome to see highlights for one of the goats. He is probably the most complete football player ever. Great runner and great receiver.
You're right..he was an incredibly conditioned athlete..and nobody talks about it but he was an outstanding backfield blocker
wow!! Bills! Thomas was incredible...unreal at times his athletic ability + IQ! Those Bills teams were literally unreal
ryublueblanka Should've won it in '90.
The Forgotten Stud.
facts!!!!
@@JsnHighlights1316 greatest receiving rb alltime lotta rbs caught out of back field but thurman caught balls down field like a reciever
ONE OF THE MOST UNDERATED BACKS THE GREAT THURMAN THOMAS!! I HAD THE PLEASURE OF WATCHING HIM!!

Bring back the red helmets Bills.
Yes, seriously though..bills look like a generic madden user created team rn
Facts
My thought exactly. The white-on-white just looks generic and pale.
I love his quote at the start of this video about the best RB being from Oklahoma St....Thurman Thomas & Barry Sanders are my two favorite RBs of all time..
The bills had the baddest helmets back in the day bring back the red helmets
If they had fantasy football in the 90s he'd have been the no brainer first pick in every draft for 4 years straight... but he's not considered in the same class as Barry or Emmitt. People are dumb.
@Thomas Roman yeah but it was extremely niche. Was probably first pick though
Hated his face mask but loved his game 💯
DOPE! we get so few highlights of players in real time with real calls, thank you!
thank you.......and I hate highlights in slow motion unless it's players like Barry, A.P, and few others....
Jsn Walker preciate ya pimpin!!! Keep it up! In case i missed it, could you do curtis martin, jerome bettis, and/or warren sapp? Mike alstott?
Perfect back in that K-Gun offense. Would punish you many different ways. Considering the era, they had a really potent offense. Shame they couldn’t beat NYG in that 1st SB. That was, by far, their best opportunity.
I loved Thurman, so it's nice to see this...Thanks
Extremely underrated!!

1:47 is just amazing. Just pure talent. Unbelievable.
Mike Ditka doing a slow burn on the sideline is absolutely classic!
It's funny, everyone talks about Barry Sanders being the best ever. I think Barry had the best moves ever but Thurman Thomas was one of the most Complete blacks of all time. I put him up there with Walter Payton and Marcus Allen. Some people don't even know who he is. A shame.
*alot.... even me I just recently stumbled upon him
@bosmang6 Am a Bills fan.... It's hard... Always get shit about it
@bosmang6 LMAO! That's hilarious. I doubt if he was completely black. Me being Puerto Rican, I have Black blood but as you can see I'm not completely black either! LoL. Yeah man, Thurman definitely is forgotten about & underappreciated! He's one of the best to ever do it. And he's black! LMAO. 🇵🇷
the most complete black...might want a second take on editing this comment.

Thurman Thomas was a BAAAAAD MAN! He just seemed to get snatched up from behind a little too much! Some of those runs should've went to the HEEZY!!!
I agree..........but the NFL was filled with people with 4.4..&..4.3 speed....
O.J. Simpson was a HOME RUN HITTER!!! His speed is what makes him the absolute G.O.A.T. (personal matters aside), he possessed EVERYTHING Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Gale Sayers, Barry Sanders ...and even Thurman Thomas had BUT none of them possessed what O.J. HAD ...that WORLD CLASS SPEED!!!
Kendrick Jones BEFORE THE DEVESTATING KNEE INJURIES GAYLE SAYERS HAD WORLD CLASS SPEED HENCE HIS NICKNAME THE KANSAS COMET.
@@JsnHighlights1316 Facts! Hard to run away from guys with 4.4, 4.3 and a small percentage of 4.2 speed guys.
He was more quick than fast.
PPR stud. Still my favorite player of all time
" I dunno but he went to OK State." Meaning either him or Barry Sanders lol.
Running Backs are not like this today......
Incredible do everything back.
Run, catch and also block.
Great all around back.
Goat
Best back in Buffalo along side oj
Phenomenal athlete and great person. Thurman and his wife Patti have worked many Hunter's Hope events in honor of Jim's late son Hunter James Kelly. Thurman: Great athlete, great man,
Great video. Thanks for these amazing highlights!
He fye
This is who I wanted to be when I was young
The Bills would not have made it to 4 Super Bowls in a row without him.
And lost them ALL 😭😭😭
a foot ball life show this week coming out this week
cant wait
love this guy
One of my favorite techmo bowl players lol 😅
#BillsMafia thurmanator was the best in All purpose yards of all-time

Fun fact at Oklahoma State, Thurman started in front of fellow hall of famer Barry Sanders.
The GOAT!
God he was good!
Hi, may I use a clip or 2 from this video for a film Im making? Thanks!
And when Thurman saw daylight, forget it. Buffalo Bills had 6 on the scoreboard !
Beautiful. BTW, what's the name of the music playing at 8:00?
He was the shit on Joe Montana's Sports Talk Football!
the name of that 2nd joint's instrumental bro? I know I heard it, sound familiar but can't recall just now. dope highlights like always!
can you do Emmitt smith? I have yet to not-slow-motion highlights of him
Im a make one...... i just have to get the footage together...........
Put some respect on this man name
Thurman and Marshall Fualk 2 best pass catching running backs of all time. Kamara will be up there too if he keeps it up.
Priest Holmes is right there with them
damn im a beast
There's a reason Barry was a backup.
Thurman Thomas change the game Barry Sanders is the greatest running back but Thurman Thomas was the best di it all back
I dont care about the hype of the new bills team, they are nothing compared to this team, doubt allen will ever even get the bills to the superbowl nevermind 4 in a row! Sorry i love my bills, but this was the legend squad.
💯
Dude starts over Barry Sanders and people forgot about him.. how
Thurman and Faulk play awfully similar to one another
Also at 2:49, why is Buffalo seemingly playing New England at Tampa Bay?
Josh Jacobs has a very similar running style
Saquon Barkley plays just like him
What is the background music???
I have the card in the thumbnail
I do 2......I have a mean card collection
