The agility and the beauty of his stride is like that of a gazelle. He gives off the illusion of running without effort. It's amazing even at the pro level how he pulls away from his competition.
Ginn in the National Championship game, after scoring on Kickoff, Roy Hall when he jumped on Ginn carelessly to celebrate, injuring him and it cheated ALL of THE OSU fans out of seeing what could have been Ginn's finest game. Florida no longer had to double-team Ginn. And we also never got to see him in the combine, which I think he would have had one of the greatest 40's up there with Bo & Deion. Thanks Roy!
Easily the most exciting player to ever put on a Ohio State uniform. I hope Treyveon Henderson or Emeka Egbuka can bring this type of playmaking ability
@@dad-n-gio2054 I was thinking the same thing but I also had to put in perspective B Miller always had the ball in his hands, if Ted Ginn always had the ball in his hands he would’ve been even more dangerous.
you say ginn i say braxton. we can both say why not both? think braxton was the most freakish guy, but there are like what, five or ten people in football in all of ginn's career that could *maybe* keep up with him? insane talents
This bring a lot of join to my heart man!! My Favorite buckeye of all time, what an era that was of electrifying players Hester Ginn Bush , thank for the highlight man remind me of my childhood 29 now 😂
Had to come back and watch this guy again. Made me fall in love with college football. Him Reggie Bush and Devin Hester had the craziest college highlight tapes, but to me what always stood out is nobody was ever near Ginn in his highlights. Dude was just gone. Bush and Hester had to juke 2-3 extra guys Ted Ginn Jr just ran straight by. The only dude I ever felt as excited to watch was the Honey Badger years later.
I was there. And was stuck in the middle of the Florida side. It was ugly... Florida fans are some of the rudest, obnoxious, and petty fans I have ever been around. I had so much crap on my custom made Cairns Buckeye firefighter helmet (I was a professional firefighter at the time)... I got pelted with pretty much anything they could throw. And were these drunk college kids? Nope. Middle age (and older) men that should have known better... But, I stayed till the bitter end and took it. I always refer to that game as 'The Debacle in the Desert' lol.
Still don't know wtf happened. Can explain LSU, we weren't on the same level that year just ran a weak Big Ten. The Florida game, that wasn't a mismatch I don't think. We just didn't show up.
How he's not on the Mt. Rushmore of Ohio State players is laughable ... him and Chris Gamble - unbelievable speed and athleticism! Thanks for the memories Ted!
I way born in 1996. I remember watching OSU games ever since the 2002 Natty season. I have such a VIVID memory of that graphic at 1:45. I didn't think I'd ever come across it again...so THANK YOU haha!
Fastest football player I've ever seen. Why did teams continue to punt to him? Great demeanor as well. Always acted like he'd been there before... which he had. I wish he hadn't gone down after his opening kickoff TD return against Florida in the National Championship game. His speed not being there changed EVERYTHING for the Buckeyes in that game. Don't know if it would've changed the outcome, but I don't think it would have been the blowout it turned out to be. Great player👍
I got to see all of Ted Ginn's home games, and 3 of the bowl games (Alamo, Fiesta, and the Debacle in the Desert). The 1 vs 2 OSU/TTUN game was the best game I have ever seen in person. Our season tickets were in the closed end of the Shoe right behind the visiting band. Working our way down to the field after the game right past the band from up North... priceless! That was the last game on turf at the Shoe I believe... we took a chunk home and it survived in a planter in my friend's window for 2 years lol
God bless your heart lol my favorite player ever besides Kyler Murray.. I use to rig my tv old school box 17 inch tv just to watch that Ohio state!!!!!
Joey galloway is way way faster then Ginn jr..#7 reminded me of galloway but taller both are lighten,galloway ran 4.18 vs Ginn 4.33.. galloway ran 9.23 100yrd.. Ginn 9.68 but both are my favorite at osu
Been plenty of dudes of that had speed to burn but it looked like Ginn ran lighter than anyone. Part of it was his frame; he had that easy speed that it made it look he was floating.
...glad I got to watch him and Reggie Bush play in those days...Ginn only scored 6 TDs in his NFL career...tells you how disciplined and well coached players are at the next level
Ginn and Gamble both exciting every time they were on the field . Gamble was on the field so much he got wore out or he'd of had more big plays than he did .
ginn may be the fast football player of all time. i don't buy old stopwatch 40s like joey galloway being a 4.2. teddy could house galloway or tyreek or deion or anyone else you think of
10 out 10 race galloway already smoke Ginn and galloway was 34yo back then.. galloway ran 4.23 electronics time espn 1999.. 9.23 100yrd sorry but galloway is as fast as asafa powell,Ginn fast but not as fast as galloway not even closed
Ginn was a guy who probably should have been a 2nd round pick. He’s forgotten a lot because the Dolphins reached remarkably on him and everybody regarded him as a bust after that. He had a solid pro career though.
I don’t care what anybody says….fastest college player of all time. Screw your stats and times…even though he ran a 4.29 40 on a bad foot. Once the dude went north/south….it was just not even a question anymore. As a tOSU fan, I had the same “oh shit” feeling every time he touched the ball, as all of the opponents did. Every time you touched the ball, you just held your breath because you always knew you were about to be a witness to something unimaginable. The Minnesota return at 8:24 was still the one that shocked me the most. On their turf, look at the unabated speed differential to all of the other players…it’s simply inhuman. Brad Nessler And Bob Griese knew it was a TD by the time he reached the 20 yard line….his own 20 yard line. He wasn’t even trying….he kind of put his head down around the 35 to 45….then just cruised.
Yep and I still didn't get why those other teams just kicked and punt the ball right too him. Knowing he can score everytime on special teams. Go Bucks!
I think he's actually the fastest player in all of football, college or pro. Did you all know he ran a 4.38-40 in the combine WITH a boot on because of his ankle injury in the national championship game? I'm sure he would have been the fastest player in the combine had he been 100% healthy.
@@Mrbradboy1 The main reason is because they had Holmes back there too, lol. They would have to punt the ball to the sideline and risk shanking it, I guess a bad punt is better than a TD, LOL, so I guess I'm at a loss then, hahaha.
Still waiting for the next Ted Ginn Jr to play for OSU. Thought it was gonna be Jameson Williams, but he transferred out. Edit: I'm talking a WR that is also explosive in the punt and kickoff return game, not just on offense.
Both Olave and Wilson went higher than Williams in the draft...Plus Jaxon Smith will ne back. So...Osu isn't exactly hurting for playmakers. Ginn was great be avoided contact a lot.
@@mattstrathis4328 there's been a bunch of "better" receivers compared to ginn. like santonio and gonzo were far superior at the position. think what they meant was this type of flair and excitement. JSN is god-tier just like wilson and olave were, but none of them quite bring the show like teddy ginn did. like only braxton comes close imo. jk could house it any play, he may be worth putting in the convo as well. but that might be about it.
I have never seen anyone leave players in the dust like Ted Ginn. They could be 20 yards ahead of him and within a few seconds he's 10,15,20 yards ahead of them.
That stride and running form, immaculate 🔥
100% his form is incredible, his torso is barely moving at all when he runs.
My man is in fast forward 😂😂😂😂
The agility and the beauty of his stride is like that of a gazelle. He gives off the illusion of running without effort. It's amazing even at the pro level how he pulls away from his competition.
It's crazy watching him run by other players but he looks like he's barely moving. lol. I wonder why he didn't run the 200m?
But he sucked in the league…😂😂😂

Ginn was in the combine that year and even ran the 40 in a boot and still ran 4.38.
Ted Ginn Jr., Reggie Bush, and Vince Young were must see tv on Saturdays. All played at the same time... insane
How you leave Devin Hester off the list!!!!

I've yet to see a faster player in college football. His straight line speed was amazing to behold. Ran like a gazelle. It was beautiful to watch.
It's hard to believe he didn't get to New York for Heisman one time!!
Amazing athlete!!
The kickoff return at 8:00 against Indiana is incredible.The way he accelerates after almost stopping is absolutely amazing.
I loved watching him play. He was so dam good. Lightning fast yet looked like he was hardly trying. God bless him.
It was not only Ginn's straight away speed but his ability to cut left or right in a split second separates him from anybody I ever saw at Ohio state.
Paris Campbell was pretty incredible himself.
Like a video game😂
World class sprinter speed.
The teams up north love kicking the ball to Ted Ginn Jr.
This bring a lot of join to my heart man!! My Favorite buckeye of all time, what an era that was of electrifying players Hester Ginn Bush , thank for the highlight man remind me of my childhood 29 now 😂

Man he ran pass santino Holmes like he was slow
As good of a college WR he was. His best position in the pros would have been at CB

What a perfect stride
“Heisman race between Adrian Peterson, Reggie Bush & Ted Ginn next year…” and then we give him the ball only 4-5 times a game 😐

one of my top favorite buckeyes of all time. im verrryyy excited to warch treyveon henderson this season and hopefully more to come
He doesn't run. He just floats horizontally
His speed reminds me of Randy Moss. He makes it look effortless and blows by everyone.
5:58 the qb keeper loved to see ted at qb sometimes. What an all around amazing talent for OSU🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
God bless your heart lol my favorite player ever besides Kyler Murray..
I use to rig my tv old school box 17 inch tv just to watch that Ohio state!!!!!
He's the reason high definition was invented.
Fasted suited up player ever.
Goated
I’ve never seen anyone run that fast in college football
I agree
lots of guys are fast....but Teddy could get to top speed in like 3-4 strides
Rocket and Tyreke

19 min of ginn snuck up on TH-cam on me. Has it been that long since I watched his highlights? Thanks for sharing
I miss him
Amazing what Urban's offense was able to do. These scores seem so low compared to what we're used to today.
Defense was tougher then too, though.
Urban had nothing to do with anything in this video, until the last play where Ted Ginn ran past him and his Gators team on the sideline lol
This was tressels team
He was fun to watch
Fastest college player I’ve ever seen. By far.
Been plenty of dudes of that had speed to burn but it looked like Ginn ran lighter than anyone. Part of it was his frame; he had that easy speed that it made it look he was floating.
...glad I got to watch him and Reggie Bush play in those days...Ginn only scored 6 TDs in his NFL career...tells you how disciplined and well coached players are at the next level
Ginn scored 33 NFL TDs... not sure where you are getting 6 from. but thats wrong
@@ryanBambaroid Wikipedia 👀
@@ryanBambaroid my bad just checked …ion know what I was saying lol I was referring to returns 🫣
Class act!!!
Oops, you cut off the end of the Florida run where his moronic teammates stepped on his ankle.
He had to work at being fast. So glad he was a Buckeye, to showcase his talent and ability.
Idc what 40 times are. This is the fastest on field player in history
So frustrating he got injured after the ko ret v Florida
That boy could run!
I forgot how good he was in 2004 as a freshman
After 10 minutes my face was hurting from smiling. Wow
Bro was killn wit a kicker facemask
Absolutely ridiculous highlight real. Dude near took a kick back every time he touched it. Nobody was as fast as Ted Ginn in the open field.
My 2 favorite osu wrs is Ted Ginn Jr and Michael Thomas.
Great video. Ohio State needs to go back to the old field art with the silver O that looks great.
I think they should leave the scarlet block O but outline in grey and add the buckeye leaf on the bottom corner as if it hanging from the block O
Dude in the back was not on the phone
Thought I was the only one who peeped 🤣
Ginn and Gamble both exciting every time they were on the field . Gamble was on the field so much he got wore out or he'd of had more big plays than he did .
Man this brother had stupid speed! I mean he could just separate so easy.
I Wanted Ginn to play with Tom Brady.. back in my childhood days
gin was just a few years too early. he would be so much more of a weapon in today's game
ginn may be the fast football player of all time. i don't buy old stopwatch 40s like joey galloway being a 4.2. teddy could house galloway or tyreek or deion or anyone else you think of

Exciting like a mf lol waiting for another gin or bush or desean it’s been a while ….
Flash Ginn ⚡️
He beat Usain Bolt, Jason Richardson and Kerron Clemente in some track meet during his senior year. 🏃💨 🏃🏃🏃.
imagine if day had a ginn qb play was bad back then our rb carried us
I played for Ginn elite

People forget he was one them burners ...what was his 40
Gone....gone
And again at 8:32
Hurt against Florida smh
Lets go Buckeyes
I've never seen ANY COLLEGE player look that much faster than Elite D1 football players... Ginn was ridic...
