Heisman Trophy winner, Super Bowl Champion, Pro Bowler and Hall of Famer #33 Tony Dorsett of the Dallas Cowboys. Im thankful to have seen him run. God bless Tony Dorsett!
This guy was my child hood favorite! Reminds me of watching Sunday’s games with my Dad (r.i.p ) thank you Dorsett for providing some of the most wonderful childhood memories ! Truly loved to watch you play #33
AG DaBro x [The Hit Maker Channel] Sorry about your dad, those are some awesome memories to have. I just recently made another video on Dorsett, if you’re interested. th-cam.com/video/17XPuE9ASPI/w-d-xo.html
I had to watch this highlight video just to remind myself just has super fast Tony Dorsett was. Amazing/lightning speed. I couldn’t have been more than 10 or 11 years old watching this man at home on Sunday afternoons. I appreciate his speed, & contribution to the NFL way more now than back then. I salute U TD!! 🫡
Tony Dorsett is my favorite running back ever. No running back hit the hole with speed and acceleration like he did. Its ridiculous how underated he is. Heisman Trophy winner also. And im not a cowboys fan, I love the Colts. Thats how special he is to me. Love you TD. One more thing take a look at all the long runs he had in his career, just running by the defense.
I love Emmitt, love what he did for the 'Boys and all that. Love Demarco, Duane Thomas, Calvin Hill, all of the great Dallas runners. But if I need somebody to go the distance, put Dorsett in the "I" five yards deep and pitch it too him. He's so underrated.
Yeah similar I have been watching NFL for Over 40 years and I have never seen a RB go through the line faster than TD Massively underrated these days . You were on the edge of your seat watching Dorsett because you knew he could score at any time Bill Parcels rates him the hardest offensive player he had to coach against . That is some compliment
As he step over the legs of the first defender in the hole and then makes that sharp cut to his right off the middle linebacker of The Vikings on that 99 yard run, I knew then that he was gone. He literally went from zero to top speed in about five steps.
As a child I watched Tony & couldn't watch cartoons. Pops didn't allow it LoL. Thanks Dad! My favorite number in the NFL is 33 4ever... Always. Roger was Amazing.
Funny how hard work makes things look easy. Dorsett was in phenomenal shape, very well muscled. He put in time in the weight room. Saw him on American Gladiators and he really filled out the leotard, lol.
I had the great privilege to meet Tony in Oxnard my grandfather used to take me to their camp....I carried his helmet for him to and from practice along with all the other legendary Cowboys....man I sure wish I had all the pics and autographs I had....I have no idea what happened to them.....
Amazing speed, quickest feet,and once he hit a hole,he was just that fast! One the fastest running backs to ever play! Just pure talent! I was blessed to see him run .
@@garymayfield5995 No Problem. Just in Speed alone. Here is a list of RBs who ran faster than Dorsett: Jeff Demps Curtis Dickey Sultan McCullough Michael Bennett Herschel Walker Jamaal Charles Raheem Mostert CJ Spiller Laverne Smith Warrwick Dunn Butch Woolfolk Stephen Davis Reggie Bush Bo Jackson Joe Delaney Dri Archer Adrian Peterson Each one of these RBs have verified fully automatic timed 100m dashes faster than 10.57. Dorset ran a hand timed 100 yard dash in 9.57. That converts to about 10.71 fully automatic timed 100m dash. Some of those backs were on Dorsett's talent level. Other backs who were, in my opinion, over Dorsett in talent level and ran faster: Eric Dickerson 9.4 hand timed 100yds OJ Simpson 9.5 hand timed 100yds. V
I'll never forget it, me an my childhood partner were really young. We started playing one on one football in the backyard. Before I had developed any moves of my own he was already displaying them. I asked "who taught you how to do all those moves like dat". His reply, Tony Dorset.
His skills were highlighted by the effective efforts of the entire team to get him space. The most talented player does not look special on an average team. There was nothing average about any of T.D.s teammates. What a beautiful combination of rare skill and great team work.
Most underrated of the 70's-80's running backs. The guy was one of the best there was in short yardage power running. He ran like he was 240 in short yardage.
Fact check me. But I think Tony Dorsett may be the only player to win the college rushing title for a season, total rushing yards at the end of his college career. Win the NCAA title, and win the Heisman. Then proceed to win NFL rookie of the year, win a Super Bowl, and get inducted into the Hall of Fame. I don’t know of any other player in history to match those accomplishments.
It's 2020 and I still say I will start Tony dorsett in my backfield against any back in history and he only average 17.5 calories a game for career imagine if he had 20 cans I'm sure Emmett will be chasing him.
The pure running back. Beautiful to watch. I'm a Cowboy hater but had to admire him. Nobody ever seemed to get a clean shot at him. I had the occasion to stand next to him at an event and I couldn't believe how small he was. I see a listing of him as 5'11". He looked more like 5'9" to me.
My favorite football player of all time and favorite runner too...I hope in the next life I come back with the speed and run like TD.. I don't have to be him, but I want his running style ( which is beautiful as hell ) and the speed, lol
TD made watching the NFL worth watching. Incredibly durable . Imagine only 190 pounds taking the beatings for years, high school, college, NFL and even today 2022 walks around very well with no lingering injuries without any indication that he ever played in the NFL.
As a long-time Redskins fan, I hated Tony Dorsett. The 'Skins would have a lead on the Cowboys, and suddenly Dorsett would break out for a large gain. Watching these highlights, one can see how hard it was to defend against him, because his moves were often instinctive -- and therefore unpredictable! Truly one of the greats!
Touchdown Tony did have that incredible burst of speed, especially between the tackles. He would burst past lbs before they could shed blocks; and if safeties were split too wide , neither could cut him off. Those diving missed tackle attempts. Once he ran over a Ram db at the goal line after crossing pattern reception. Nite-nite, db was out cold, got hit by a speeding bullet.
@@DallasSports-vk6wt No sir back in 1977 his rookie year he had a 77 yarder against the Cardinals. Of course I considered long runs 78 yards or longer. So you can see never had a long one against the Cardinals😉. Tony one of the greatest running back’s I’ve ever seen.
There’s my favorite cowboys receiver blocking downfield #88 Drew Pearson! I used to see him make those one handed sideline catches and then go try to emulate him after the game! Out in the front yard trying to do the same thing!
The top 7th greatest running backs in my life time were Walter Payton, Tony Dorset, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell, Adrian Peterson.
Something few people think to mention is that Dorsett had an aesthetically beautiful running style to watch. He just looked smooth, fast, and cool. Many backs are certainly effective, but do not look as lovely doing it as did Tony Dorsett (or Eric Dickerson). It's not the most important thing, but it's one aspect.
This guy won at all levels, from High School to the University of Pitt, HT winner, first year with the Cowboys, rookie of the year and Superbowl Champion. Those two Falcon defenders realize they took very bad angles and had an "Oh Shit" moment when they realized he was that fast!
Yes, Tony Dorsett is one of the greatest running backs ever. However, people need to remember just how good the Cowboys offensive line was then and even during Emitt Smith's career. The offensive line has always been a staple for Dallas. Also, the highlight at 4:55, perfectly demonstrates how quickly Tony could accelerate.
Heisman Trophy winner, Super Bowl Champion, Pro Bowler and Hall of Famer #33 Tony Dorsett of the Dallas Cowboys. Im thankful to have seen him run. God bless Tony Dorsett!
National Champion also the mans resume is second to none.

I saw him run for 300 plus against Notre Dame at Pitt. The hair on the back of my neck actually stood up watching him run. Unbelievable talent!
When I saw him play for Pittsburgh in college on a televised game, I KNEW that I was seeing something REALLY special!!!!!!!!
The most yards ever run up on Notre Dame in a single game in their entire history.
There is a difference in speed and football speed Tony dorsett was the most explosive running back I ever seen and I'm 54 💨💨💨💨
William Ivery I agree, if he got into the open field no one was catching him.
@@DC4L99 I love Tony Dorsett
@@DC4L99 I wish I could meet Tony dorsett one day.,😢
You see this mans elusiveness
Herschel I believe was faster. Than Dorsett so was Bo, so was E Dickerson, finally so was Chris Johnson. But Dorsett speed was insane.

He’s not underrated.
Thank you Jacob Byerson totally agree 👍. Still my favorite running back...T.D
was a packer fan back in the 60's. Whenn Cowboys came to be. That waa my team. Dorsett, Emit Smith. 2, great ones.
My buddy was a bear fan. We always bet 1.00 on cowboys vs bears. He lost so many times.
Yeah similar I have been watching NFL for Over 40 years and I have never seen a RB go through the line faster than TD
Massively underrated these days . You were on the edge of your seat watching Dorsett because you knew he could score at any time
Bill Parcels rates him the hardest offensive player he had to coach against . That is some compliment
That explosive speed at the line, he just fat out went full throttle when he touch the ball. AMAZING
As he step over the legs of the first defender in the hole and then makes that sharp cut to his right off the middle linebacker of The Vikings on that 99 yard run, I knew then that he was gone. He literally went from zero to top speed in about five steps.
When you can give your teammate a "five" while running toward the end zone, that says a lot.
As a child I watched Tony & couldn't watch cartoons. Pops didn't allow it LoL. Thanks Dad! My favorite number in the NFL is 33 4ever... Always. Roger was Amazing.
Dorsett is poetry in motion!
This team was the beginning of me being a Dallas Cowboy fan and I been one every since then !!
My favorite Cowboys player. I fell in love with the game watching how he played for Dallas.
Dorsett was an incredible player his speed was like 0 to 60 as soon as he saw a hole he was going to take it to the house!
#Legendary
He pretty much always cut to the right, never left.
It was so beautiful to see him attack the hole with his amazing acceleration.........
The most beautiful RUNNING BACK EVER
His talent was ultra-rare and his speed and acceleration were breathtaking.
Definitely one of the most talented runners the game has ever had.
Funny how hard work makes things look easy. Dorsett was in phenomenal shape, very well muscled. He put in time in the weight room. Saw him on American Gladiators and he really filled out the leotard, lol.
Wow! Forgot how explosive he was, I loved football back in the day.
he is still in my top 5 best running backs and I have seen a lot
Dorsett alwas\ys looked like he was gliding thru the air with the the ball
Tony was one of a few RBs that could be at full speed with one or two steps.
It is all in the glutes, he had massive glutes.
I had the pleasure of watching his career since high school, GO PITT!!!🙏👍😎
I saw the 99 yard run. Will never forget that play. T D was awesome and my favorite cowboy at the time.
I was watching and they almost had tackled Dorsett in the end zone and he blew right by them.
Dorsett 2. Simpson 3. Payton just loved their footwork and Tony was just complete
Don't forget Barry Sanders.
I had the great privilege to meet Tony in Oxnard my grandfather used to take me to their camp....I carried his helmet for him to and from practice along with all the other legendary Cowboys....man I sure wish I had all the pics and autographs I had....I have no idea what happened to them.....
It was wonderful to see Tony D run touchdowns back in the day.
Who among you, old enough to remember MNF w/ Howard, Gifford, and Dandy Don, wouldn’t agree that was the best of televised football ever.
Amazing speed, quickest feet,and once he hit a hole,he was just that fast! One the fastest running backs to ever play! Just pure talent! I was blessed to see him run .
Plenty of backs ran faster.
@@sydboski But nowhere near his talent level,so next time you say something like this name the players

@@sydboski Man what have you smoking
@@garymayfield5995 What is it you do not agree with? We'll see who is smoking something.
I grew up watching Dorset. He had killer acceleration at the line of scrimmage and explosive speed down the field as the play progressed!
I'll never forget it, me an my childhood partner were really young. We started playing one on one football in the backyard. Before I had developed any moves of my own he was already displaying them. I asked "who taught you how to do all those moves like dat". His reply, Tony Dorset.
Did you and the (partner) end up getting married? lmao

Mark 7:29
And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
Proud to say I watched every one of those highlights live
One of the greatest ever. His acceleration and top speed are as good as any back to ever play, if not the best
Agreed, I made another video on him if you’re interested. th-cam.com/video/17XPuE9ASPI/w-d-xo.html
@@DC4L99 thats a good vid too, tks
Shifty. Strong. And he could outsprint anyone on the field. Loved watching him when I was growing up.
Not anyone.
So amazing to see him run man in Dallas
I saw the 99/Vikings. Tony was a hero at the time. A really good night..
Other than Walter Payton, "TD" Tony Dorsett was my absolute favorite runner from that era...No question.
OJ, TD, Walter...
@@elvicare35 Dorsettt faster than all past running backs look up 40 yard dash time.
Tony was a beautiful runner. He ran it up the gut a lot and then would break it off. Great eyes and feeling.
Still haven't seen acceleration like that thru the hole.
Especially under 200lbs
Man, you shoulda seen me back in 82. We woulda won state for sure.
The accelaration was insane
Most underrated of the 70's-80's running backs. The guy was one of the best there was in short yardage power running. He ran like he was 240 in short yardage.
This is so awesome to see him run in Dallas
Just so great to watch every time!!
That last run he definitely had that 5th gear!!
most explosive runner ever... nuf said
13 years old was there when he ran for the TD MNF at New England......my bar mitzvah gift ......seeing my favorite player and team
scott miller That’s awesome 👍, he was a great player.
My favorite Cowboy of all-time!!!
Fact check me. But I think Tony Dorsett may be the only player to win the college rushing title for a season, total rushing yards at the end of his college career. Win the NCAA title, and win the Heisman. Then proceed to win NFL rookie of the year, win a Super Bowl, and get inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Marcus Allen did it also..but Dorsett was the first

He was the Berry Sanders of the 70s.And eighties, He was so firm to watch, He's definitely in my top 5,
nice video! Dorsett was one of my faves as a kid and still in my top 5!
Smooth and fluid was Tony Dorsett. The Silk vibe.
Amazing back one of the greats
Great vision on every play
Tony is a joy to watch
Just to see him Run was totally A work of art.His speed was Just incredible TD.
There were plenty of players faster than him.
Gracias tony from Mexico!
most underrated! tony is easily top 5 all time!

Jerry Penna Best home run hitting back of all time.
DC 4life I think so. I can’t think of anyone else. 🤔
Jerry Penna Yep, Dorsett is the only rb to have a td run from 50,60,70,80 and 90 yards.
DC 4life I completely forgot he had a 91 yard pass reception. But seeing it again I kinda remember that too.
The Best!!!!!! My favorite player of all time!!!!!!!
He was one badass dude. These were the Cowboys I enjoyed and liked.
Not a cowboy fan but always liked tony D saw him play against WV in the backyard brawl fun memories for sure
Give me DORSETT!(with emmitt coming off the bench when. #33 needs a blow)
That's nasty. Wash your mouth with soap.

Taking nothing away from him, because he was a great back, but his o line was phenomenal!! You could literally drive a truck thru some of those lanes.
