💯🔥👍the guy just wanted it more than anyone else. Pound for pound maybe the greatest nfl player there has ever been. A true hero of mine. A American hero.
Running a 4.2 at 40 years old is out of this world dawg🤣🔥, what a beast Darrell Green was and nobody ever talks about him, he's so underrated
Hadn't heard of him because he was a bit before my time. Seems like a legendary player. Running a 4.2 40 at 40 is incredible. I love ageless players. Hope Frank Gore is able to play long enough to see his son Frank Jr. in the league.
He was a (little) monster. I think he don’t the cred cause of his size simply. I saw games as a kid were he kept Rice at 2 catches!
He was voted to the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team with the likes of Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson etc.
I’ll never forget his play. I remember his first Monday night game as a rookie when he ran down Tony Dorsett, who had broken loose and had a 12 yard head start on Darrell, but here comes this rookie who no one had heard of, streaming into the picture, running down Dorsett and saving the TD by bringing him down from behind.
The whole world was introduced to Green that night and he would go on to finish a Hall Od Fame career as one of the best cover corners in the game with many more epic plays, including the punt return for the winning TD in the divisional playoffs against the favored Bears in Chicago. The fact that he vaulted one tackler and then tore a rib cartilage making an immediate 90° inhuman cut, made it that much more spectacular. Darrell Green is a legend.
I met him in Carlisle PA at training camp when Marty Schottenheimer was their coach, my favorite player of all time, a class act!
Nice green and Jim Thorpe were elite American athletes.
He played till 2002 at age 42 legends
The 83 draft didn't just have quarterbacks
Proud to wear that jersey
Darrell green and Walter Payton have crazy long careers
I'm 38 and can still run a legit 4.5 40 because of Darrell Green and Deion Sanders. Just started back working out a month ago along with eating healthier and I feel amazing.
Had a lacrosse coach tell me to just move my legs faster. Don't worry about feet or your step, forget the stick. Starts with the hip. Concentrate on moving those faster. Close your eyes for a sec at full sprint and just move faster and see what happens. It works to this day. 4.8s at 45yo. I'm 5"8.
The best!!! Ageless wonder. He was amazing
This dude is an absolute goooatttt
Deion won’t admit it, but Green was faster..
Darrell was definitely faster. I never saw Dion run down top backs like Tony Dorsett or Eric Dickerson from behind. Those were epic plays of Green’s career. Who else ever did that?
Yes, I never thought Deion was in the same class in speed. Willie Gault was close.
I agree that Darrell Green was faster but im a tell you something Deion Sanders is the only guy i seen Darrell Green continuously give a ten yard cushion too (this is when prime was with the cowboys playing receiver). DG played man to man on joey galloway and Randy Moss of all people non stop. Now deions last 2 years with the Cowboys and that one year with Washington He had that bad toe which slowed him down alot if it wasn't for that then im sure at Washington they would've raced it out 🤷🏾
@@RabahRayanNabilEl16 All 3 were blazing fast. Moss and Sanders were very smooth especially Moss with the long stride.
@@bg147 Right!!!!! I remember to this day Darrell Green was guarding Randy Moss his rookie and they was going at it that's why after Moss retired He said that Darrell Green did the best cover job on him and I was happy He admitted that. With all that said for the most part DG played Moss Man to Man no cushion🤷🏾
Green had that dog in him. HTTR 4 EVER !!!
He a beast
Darryl Green set records that will never be broken. 19 straight seasons with an interception. 20 years with the SAME team! He sometimes took pay cuts to help keep the players from the good years together. I thought Tom Brady might break the 20 year same team record, then he went to Tampa. So he tied it but didn't break it.
Fastest corner ever
greatness
As a long-time fan of the New York Giants I often said this guy was the one player I'd love to draft off an opposing team's roster to play for my team. Not Joe Montana, not Jerry Rice, not Mike Singletary, not Reggie White, not Barry Sanders ... but Darrell Green. One of the great things about rooting for an NFC East rival was that I got to see DG play twice every season -- and often three times!
He was like LT and Deion he could take over a game and win it by himself, on defense.
I forgot about him catching Dickerson from behind.
He was facing in the opposite direction when Dickerson ran past him and he still ran him down.
@@larrym5120 That was more legit than the Dorsett tackle. He had no angle or headstart on Dickerson like he did on Dorsett
Herman Moore?? Lions wide receiver on Thanksgiving day. His... Herman... Remembering that is hilarious
Legend
Top 10 CB of all time
How does he do it? Tootsie rolls baby. Make ya run fast.
Tootsie Rolls
Hence Football's Peter Pan...
Two goats
Stuck his head in and made tackles too.
That’s why he is number 1 on my all time corner back list I have seen the last 50 years and Deion. Is number 2.
@@jasonwebb3727 I would have Mel Blount 2nd. Him and Green never made "business decisions".
There will never be 20yr cornerback in the nfl again!
I just met Derrell green today😀😃
Httr
First
Even in his 40s, he still had the athleticism to play his position at a high level
1:28 lol fastest guy, 1:42 that is true sometimes, though father time usually wins like the house. Fun to see him defy those norms/aging.
4:00 timing, good interview, but yes lapse for a bad moment or play possum when they're not in the qb's line of sight and get back in the way.
My favorite player my uncle Danny Copeland teammate he was so nice love him met him when I was 11years old.
It’s been rumored Green ran a 4.5 40 at age 60. What a dynamic player he was. Living legend.
He ran a 4.5 at age 50... he’s not even 60 yet.
@@csea__go - February 15, 1960. He is 61.
@@csea__go 4.43 on his 50th birthday thats wel documented
We need a NFL Films on Lorenzo Neal! Blocked for a bunch of productive running backs like Corey Dillion and LT! Very underrated player at a underrated position
I love it when he says, "It's fun. It's just fun!" Of course that's why he played so long! ;-)
top 5 CB all time. Hail to the Redskins
That's racist
@@johnthomas6433 oh shut up
Washington Redskins!
Hell yea my favourite player beside Brady. The punt return vs Chicago in the playoffs was legendary.
Brady could have played his entire career with one team like the man Darryl green but he messed it up. I will never forgive him for that bit of hubris.
I have never seen this tootsie roll-lovin cornerback run faster than a speeding cheetah, and I think it's high time that darrell green should be on a football life.
Darrell Green and Pat Fisher best two cornerbacks in the NFL under 6 ft. I would put Fisher in the hall too. And no Im not a Redskin fan I live in Baltimore.
Revis
One of the goats nobody talks about I got to watch him play on the tail end of his career and I think he still could have played even more but he definitely is a goat that nobody talks about
That defensive back round table when Green, Deion Sanders and Rod Woodson are talking about who was the fastest is hilarious. Green is a funny dude...
Darrell Green won 2 world titles with washington!
May we please have a Darrell Green, A Football Life. Like, pretty please. I’ll donate to a charity if you do, so again, pretty please and thank you.
Seriously at NFL network this guy is in the discussion with Deion for greatest ever cornerback he deserves a football life more than anyone out there.
Darrell is also an exemplary human being
This guy is an absolute legend that never gets talked about enough - I mean, wow, just look at that career. All you hear about are loudmouth Deion, Revis Island, guys with ridiculous nicknames. I'll take Peter Pan any day. Darrell is one of my all-time favorite NFL players, such a cool guy.
The guy played for the skins his entire 21 year career. That could have been you Tom Brady. 🤦♂️🤮👎🤡
Bring Back The Redskins Name or no other Redskin will ever make the hall of fame. they are trying to erase history. 🎉
Legend.
His punt returns like Deions were must see tv, no bathroom breaks.
Darrell Green and Barry Sanders.. my two favorite players of all time
This guy gives me hope
Bro this man is underrated
Actually he is overrated
Defensive players do not get the credit they deserve.
Hi there buddy oll pal
Darrell was the best. Period. All class ❤
First
#1 cornerback of all-time

As a kid I pretended to be Darrell Green or Deion Sanders when covering my friends in the neighborhood football games we had.......
