A Train had some elite linemen opening holes for him. Steve Hutchinson, Jeff Backus, Jon Jansen. A lot of younger Michigan fans just don't realize how insanely talented those late 90s Michigan teams were. That '98 recruiting class was by far the greatest in Michigan history. They got the top ranked QB and top ranked player overall that year in Drew Henson. They got the top ranked RB in Justin Fargas, who sadly got injured and subsequently transferred back to California. They got the top ranked WR in David Terrell. And another top 3 WR in Marquis Walker. (The most underrated WR duo in Michigan history). They got the top ranked DB that year in Cato June. They even got the top kicked in Hayden Epstein. That class was stacked! Combine those players with holdovers from the 97 team and the talent was there. I truly think that 2000 team could have won the title. Just some bad flukey losses, especially that one to Northwestern. Ugh.
You went to high school with him brother I played against him watched him run over my high school.. I can't remember what year it was 1993 or 1994 Jena High vs Winfield in Winfield.. He was bigger than anyone else on the field we couldn't do nothing with him 😂🤣
Back when the Big Ten & Michigan was a force to reckoned with. Now it’s just Ohio St and I’m a Buckeye. I miss these days. My theory is that HS football recruiting is no where near what it once was in rust belt areas of northern Ohio & western PA in this century. It’s not the same level of talent that I grew up with especially in NE Ohio where I’m from. Michigan used to get a lot of guys from northern Ohio.
42-27 clapped your asses and won the B10! I promise you that will become the norm again. Ohio St isn’t physical as Michigan y’all are a pass happy soft Big 12 no defense playing ass team
Ok as a Bear- I remember A-train’s fumble at Northwestern toward the end of the game which NU converted into a 54-51 Game-Winning FG and BigTen title- we popped champagne that nite.
Oh, the great memories, especially in the Big House. His performances rank high with best that college football history has to offer. GOOOOOOO BLUUUUUUUE!
Aaron Shea blocked 3 guys to spring Thomas for a TD @4:00! That was amazing blocking.
God how I loved me som A-Train AND that oline was ridiculous obviously. GO BLUE
Louisiana high school football!!!!!
Just give it to the A Train
Footwork, Vision, Power, Balance and Speed.... One of the Best Running Backs ever to Run the Ball💣
Fond memories growing up watching A-Train rumbling down the field. Love this stuff.

Good ol days. The line play was top tier back then, pulling, and out on screens.😊
18 year old Hutch... lol. HOF'er.
Bears loved you homie!!!!
The offensive lines Michigan had during this time period were the best I have seen at Michigan.
It was hard to dislike Lloyd Carr. And I wonder... is A-Train related to De'anthony Thomas from Oregon?
I went to high school with him. He was the nicest guy ever. Heart of gold. Hard working.

I'm a Michigan guy and I totally agree. Ohio has always produced top tier talent.
Remember watching him growing up, miss when we had a line and backs like this
Love these tribute videos my favorite of your videos love them all tho go blue!
WOW What a running back
My favorite player as a kid. I was just a bit too young to REALLY know about Woodson. (7 when they won the title.)
Fritothemonk Woodson was a two way beast....watch that tribute video.
He was faster than I thought 💭
32 was a problem
The A train was awesome
This is when I became a fan. I wish they'd wear these traditional uniforms more.
Played this guy a few times in High School. I played linebacker then. He was a dog.
4:03 miss those analog buzzes. The hours I put into my bunny ears
Can I haz another one of doze plz?
My Sr year of high school and my college years at Alma. Good memories of these teams.
Ah yes... Anthony Thomas! My all-time favorite Michigan Wolverine. As you probably couldn't tell by my name...
atrain132 me too
A train was a beast . But Jamie Morris was unstoppable also. Don't know if u rememba him
A train baby 〽️

Tough runner with a helluva screen game! #VictorsValiant
Please put this video to Duke Ellington's "A-Train" thanks WH.
Excellent!
GO BLUE!!
I grew up watching this guy. Beautiful tribute
Aaron Shea right in the thick of it
Loved this guy.
🐻⬇️
We can't even get a D train now a days lolol
Hassan Haskins is no slouch . 20 tds and went over 1200 yards. Blake isn't too bad either.
@@waynewalton8798 kind of overrated...but I get your point...still think the backs of old were better
