This was great. Thanks, dudes!
reminds me of a guy named TYREEK
Drafted #150
Hall was amazing. Hester was even better...
56 missed him twice LMAO
That juke move against the Broncos is now illegal in 49 states 😷😷😷
jeremiah Giles ever see hester juke away from defenders in college?..will make you throw up..all those bodies he flung off him or danced around. Hall was impressive. But their was always someone better
...especially Colorado, lol
Owww boy who cares where talking NFL not pop Warner my dudes .
No one has matched it since
I don’t know about that but it’s definitely illegal in Colorado.
labeled as "murder"
Legend has it,that Denver defense is still trying to tackle him till this day🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
He stayed digging their graves. lol
Johnny Waldo I know
LMFAO
Hahahaha!!!
Yea that was just embarrassing. If I was the coach I'd have told them after the game, don't even take them pads off my guys. We doing tackling drills all night, might as well call your girl now 😂
The fact that more returnman haven't been recognized by the Hall of Fame, is a down right disgrace.
because there havent been many that are even in the same convo as hester and hall
Name a return specialist who deserves to be in the hall
@@mattparker3349 Brian MItchell, Desmond Howard, for starters. I'd add Deion, but I think he's already in for the other positions he played.
Matt Parker Josh Cribbs
@@timothywestern6488 not being mean but ya think he might be in the hall lol he's only a top 3 corner all time lol
4:40; lol..."it's just Dante Hall, one on one, against every guy out there and that's a mismatch."
Yes
@John Doe yes you are right. HE IS MORE SHIFTY
John Doe tyreek hill is dope as fuck but why would you even say that 💀
John Doe tyreek is not shifty, hes fast
@@officialbuttmuncher FACTS.......its not the same. I totally Agree
Tore both my ACL'S and ripped my Achilles watching this. And i aint even mad, im actually honored.
AlmightyPhilosophy11 😂😂😂
God level comment my man 😂
AlmightyPhilosophy11 good shit
I'll help you find your jock-strap, it's out there somewhere...
@@rickshawwheelchair boo
“The Human Joystick” “The X-Factor”
That has a whole damn new meaning due to EA
Ikr
Lol
Can you imagine it was smarter to try an onside kick then kick it to him 🤣😂 after 3 games kick off/punt return td stretch one would think team would not kick the ball to this man 🤣😂🤦♂️🤦♂️ always puts his team in great field position.
Language
Andrew Reviere apologies sir
When you make the entire defense tackle each other, you're a fucking legend.
😂😂😂
Not only a great player, a great guy! He spent time to talk with my kid, who idolized him. Dante is a stand up guy. I'm a fan for life!
2:56 Greatest juke in NFL History. I said it when I watched it live, and 15 years later, it still holds true.
Chris E. Says the one with human skulls as his profile pic 😂
Chris E. Do you even know what edgy means! *Edgy: used to describe something that is excessively dark, often to the point where it’s overbearingly depressive.*
Chris E. Yes there is two different ways to refer someone as “edgy”. I was calling you edgy because usually human skulls are known to Potray as dark. I’m sorry if it offended you.
Chris E. Lmao edgy? You know what edgy means right?
He snapped their ankles
I was at the Colt's game. When Dante scored on that kick return, the stadium was so loud that it literally started to vibrate. You could feel the ground shaking. I will never forget that moment.
A.C. Meyer lmao are you serious
@@twintitansgaming1694 Arrowhead when the chit hits the fan is pretty crazy.
Loudest outdoor stadium til this day
Twin Titans Gaming Arrowhead is insane. I was out there for a game that was 8 degrees a few years back. The seats were all covered in ice and snow. It was so cold the snaps on my hat broke when I tried to adjust it. The crowd was still so loud my ears were ringing when I left the stadium.
You sure its because of the screaming? And not people jumping simultaneously? Ok.
Not even a chiefs fan, but I loved watching him and priest Holmes play. Both were unbelievable players. Hearing their names makes me miss those days of the NFL
1000% PERCENT AGREE
forreal Trent Green was a good qb too. It was sad when he took that hit
Larry johnson Too
Man fr on my soul 🙏🏿
Yup. That was the era of the Chiefs I grew up with and what got me into football. Priest Holmes, Trent Green, Tony Gonzalez, and Dante Hall.
This made me emotional. I miss old football so much.
💯😂
Straight up
Me too. Now it's woke trash
@@tooldread1 tf
I'm right with you. I saw every one of those plays when they happened. Almost made me 😢.
The Chiefs always has the shiftiest and fastest players
Really? I can remember a better than twenty year stretch that they didn't. You might be to young to recall the late 80s and the 90s. Joe Horn was the fastest guy Marty drafted, and they let him go to the Saints instead of giving him a second contract. Where he became one of the best receivers in the league at that time.
@@rustyreese4006 you're right, but fast forward to today. I know tyreek is probably done but what did the chiefs do? Draft the fastest player at the combine again...boo-yah
rickshawwheelchair I’m done ?
thats pretty racist
rickshawwheelchair this did not age well
He was something to watch. He captivated the fans and made every punt return a main event.
The main reason for his decline was the other teams stopped punting to him and even kicking to him (squib kicks) for basically two years, but it gave the chiefs great field position. And then he got hurt.
Shoutout the special team defensive and the defensive line
True that. It’s actually crazy because I am a die hard Chiefs fan, and he was only a decent receiver, but anytime he touched the ball on returns you knew he could win you the game. This was a time when teams would pay him whatever just to do returns because he was so great.
TheWholeYearInn I know
There was a time when Dante Hall was worth the price of admission all by himself, every time he touched the ball the entire stadium at Arrowhead gasped in anticipation of what was about to happen. I'll never forget those games and those moments, it was an awesome time in KC. Really miss the human joystick.
2:55 still one of, if not the nastiest juke of all time
I agree that juke was nastyyy
This is a pretty inspirational story, knowing that this was a guy that was a UPS driver, but still stayed true to himself, and never gave up....
@Macy sondheim there’s always a more inspirational story 🤷🏿♂️ doesn’t mean his isn’t
@Macy sondheim hater
He must be a broncos fan
@@jeremiurena8415 he’s definitely a Broncos fan 😂😂
@@jeremiurena8415 lollll
Legend. Hall and Hester are the best EVER when it comes to return men.
I must have missed the Devin Hester years.....
Chiefs Kingdom PLEASE explain why the fuck you said Hester? Lol smh.
Chiefs Kingdom you don’t have to say you aren’t bandwagon if you are a chiefs fan they always choke
Josh Cribbs and Allen Rossum were better. Slightly. But they were.
Chris Brown h
My ankles got scared
Andrew Mullins me to
As everybody's angle she gets scared because Dante Hall had the ultra instincts ability before Goku well Barry Sanders and Deion Sanders (then it just seem to pass down).
They better be it he breaks them... By the way does anybody know the name of the background song at the start? I listened to it a thousand times but never know the name...
The sequence of ankle breaking, soul crushing moves he put on those Broncos defenders is my favorite touchdown scoring play of all time. That step back and burst down the sideline is epic
Him and Priest Holmes were the single biggest contributor to the broken ankles of opposing players...
And the broken hearts of so many opposing fans
I always get chills seeing the crowd at 6:36... amazing
Well I've seen all of these plays a million times, but seeing the crowd share that moment together still gives me chills.
Definitely something to behold
They're cheering for that block in the back at 6:24 lol
Yeah block in the back definitely
like little ants honestly
Iced my ankles after watching this.
Bsoupful ha ha ha
Bsoupful why? You weren't in the video
W
CornDawg ? I just don't see why that was relevant. I highly doubt he was in the video.
Bsoupful yeah I know I'm just fuckin with ya
Noticed Dante Hall and Devin Hester have same initials. Hmmm.
Something to think about when looking for a return man.
Desmond Howard was before both of them D H indeed
@@shawnhughes4192 Az Hakim has last name with H. I think it gotta be the last name initial working the magic
also tyreek hill, he a wr but he has great speed and agility
Butt Scratcher it’s a joke bro chill
Butt Scratcher sheesh you’re no fun
I was there for all these home games, man it was electric any time he got his hands on the ball. We made the whole place shake. Great memories! The opposing teams started kicking out of bounds on purpose to avoid Hall's return game.
His carry vision is just insane! Finding open gap, see where his blockers go, and so on!
What's the first songs name? I hear it 1000 times but never know the name...
My all time favorite Chief. Grew up watching him. The original X-Factor!
Chandler Lewis as a football fan my favorite Chief is the late great Derrick Thomas
ISSsm64 same DT is beloved in KCMO
Dante hall is basically a 7yr old randomly moving the joysticks in Madden
Beginners luck! Bet you couldn't do it again! *Does it 20 more times*
@@sufferwithme1237 😂😂😂😂
He was just so much of a fun player to watch. You knew he could do something special at any moment.
This man was the OG return man
Area 214 naw deion sanders dude
Or Darryl green
Or Steve Tasker
Buh Rett devin Hester
The original X-factor
DeSean Jackson #Jaccpot #0ne0fone #1hunna ingyv
DeSean Jackson #Jaccpot #0ne0fone #1hunna absolutely!!!😂
tht was dion but ok
Wow history lacks with alot of NFL people and so-called NFL fans Deion Sanders not DeSean Jackson (who has no Super Bowl rings or the amount of yards and touchdowns on Kick and punt returns). Deion Sanders and Dante Hall and even Nathan vasher have. Hell Anthony Carter the Minnesota Vikings.
DeSean Jackson #Jaccpot #0ne0fone #1hunna ayeee they don’t know nothing about that
That punt return against Denver is one of my favorite plays ever. There were so many illegal blocks that weren't called. Lmao love it
I KNO LOL GLAD IM NOT A BRONCO'S FAN
Looking back a lot of his return touchdowns benefited from some very effective blocking
Those weren't illegal back then
@@user34561000 yea. Blocks in the back were even back than. That's why I love the fact they weren't called.
I only counted 1 illegal block, but it was a doosy. The guy got away with murder.
"1 on 1 against every guy out there, and that's a mismatch." Is there a better compliment?
This man was a nightmare as a Returner
Freedom Fighter Brandon Harris ow we have tyreek
Freedom Fighter Brandon Harris, not as much as Devin Hester was
L
Still doesn't have an ultimate team card lmaooo. EA is a joke.
DAVID AUBREY EA has to buy the rights to their name. To use that name in their game.
They don't have the stats to justify
@@carstonrogers2127 EA is still a joke
Yup FUCK EA i want my Larry Johnson card fuck hunt
Him and Darrell Greene
Every time Hall touched the ball you knew there was a chance of him going all the way. He was always exciting to watch. That last return vs. the Broncos to get his 7th TD was nothing short of amazing and epic!
Who else got this recommended to them when Dante hall got a expansion in Madden 20
Me 😂
Ik im late but me too 😂😂😂
Dante Hall
Of famer
👍😏

Clever lol
"I'm like Dante Hall I just throw up the X" - Lil Wayne
@Nick Blaich Dipset
What's the first songs name? I hear it 1000 times but never know the name...
2:58 THAT'S JUST NASSSSSTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYY
2:59
I can't believe I forgot all about him. Thanks for the reminder. He was always a surprise to watch. It was like watching Mike Tyson going for a knockout. You knew he'd get it but you just didn't know when..
I remember being a youngboul watching this.. I was like 8 or 9 and I was just amazed. This is why I love football.
That's why you arent in the league now you just watched?
I was 22 or 23, but that's why I watch, too
Him and priest Holmes always made my ankles hurt
That is very true
Don't think about it like you're there...
rickshawwheelchair stfu
My ankles just fucking exploded watching.
Holy fuck was this guy special.
rickshawwheelchair but then it’s not fun
Hall was a beast on kick off returns! Loved watching the human joystick in action! One of my favorite Chiefs of all time.
As a Steelers fan this is my favorite NFL player. I was young when he was in his prime but I would have loved to see him in this day and age. He was electrifying. I grew up wanting to be like Dante Hall. Who wouldnt.?
His vision is crazy
Thanks NFL for this. Favorite player growing up. Unstoppable on Madden. Lol
2:57 greatest juke of all time.
This is why the term "Honable Mention" was created; to honor those who deserve and have earned our respect. Thank you for giving Dante Hall another place to shine for future NFL fans to see!
One of the only reason why I watched Chiefs games back then ☺
I literally got goosebumps . I remember seeing him live vs LSU as a kid when my sister took my to an Aggie's game
7:57 why are you running towards the end zone, #55?
there is ONE MAN to block, and you ran by him.
come'on, man!!
lol for real, I saw that initially, I knew he would get a piece of hall once 55 ran straight past the ONE guy there. Good tackle though.
Yeah, I guess he was let go by the end of the season...0 football awareness....
Cause you can't block a defender while his back is turned otherwise its a penalty
Dante Hall was the that dude back in the day with priest Holmes Tony Gonzalez and Sammie Parker on the offense
Kenyatta 4rmdabeach i used to abuse that team on madden. So fun to play with
Damn Sammie Parker. I haven't heard that name in some time. I used to killll on Madden with that team
The Broncos highlights really showcased how good he was at eluding defenders.
7:59 #55 needs his sorry behind kicked. How do you miss that block?!!
Fook Yoo he was pissed at himself at the end, he knew he fucked up
Hall even went inside then back out to set the block up
#55 should be fined 1000 for that missed block!!!
bruh look like he was only running to celebrate
He probably expected him to do it alone which doesn’t excuse him from getting that kicking you were talking about
2:58 his towel couldn't even keep up
Freedom4all LMAO
TOWEL SAID.......FUK THIS LOL
Man, at 65yrs of age. This is great to experience again. Thanks for the smiles. Thanks for the memories.
The real question is, did he have a 99 juke, elusiveness, spin move, and agility (in madden)
How have I never heard of this guy, he was a BEAST
Return guys don't get the lime light hardly.
You must not b an 80's baby
Bruh you don’t even know the amount of times I’d abuse my friends and people online in madden with this dude. Straight CHEESE.
@@internetuser2310 hell yeah🤣🤣 same here
My friends and i used to make bets about if he'd score or not..great memories.
When I was 9 I got his autograph on my chiefs hat. Still have that hat. Even though it doesn’t fit my head anymore haha.
2:59 " Look at him, like a cat" had me dead 😂😂😂
That juke that made the Denver players collide was the best TD run after catch I've possibly ever seen.
Dante hall, priest homes,Eddie kennison,jhonny Morton,Tony Gonzales,trent Green and yes cant forget shields and roaf that 2003 team made me a chiefs and football fan even through the shit years and i loved them ever since
He is the reason I fell in love with the chiefs as a kid.
“He didn’t have the speed of Devin Hester”
Yes he did. He was incredibly fast.
Nobody EVER got a 💯 rating in anything on Madden, not Peyton, not Brady... but Hester did in speed💨💨💨
@Ll L Dante Hall had a 4.29 40 time, Devin Hester "only" had a 4.41. Definitely not taking anything away from Hester, or say that he isn't still one of (if not THE) best returners of all time, but Hall was objectively faster.
No he didn’t; he was fast though
@@bobbyshaw2419 exactly bro ; tell them quit disrespecting
Probably the only player ever to come close to what Barry Sanders did with his jukes. The only thing that held back Dante Hall was his lack of size, strength, and durability. His prime was too short. But in his prime, very few players in the history of the NFL can change the game like Dante Hall.
Did you watch football
Devin Hester is the best kick returner of all time
@@tylertravillion5644 maybe so, but have you ever seen Tim Dwight?
Toney has the same style of juking and speed. Makes me even more excited to see what Toney can bring - new Dante Hall.
The way he changes direction is insane. Also able to accelerate quickly right after even after going to a full stop. Unreal.
He was special, I vividly remember those years, amazing!
first, props for making this great video. great content and quality. imo, Hall is the most underrated and under appreciated player in NFL history. for some reason, his name is never brought up with the greats. we haven’t seen elusiveness of Hall since Barry Sanders. we’ve all heard people say that a player is like a video game in real life. the human joystick first, absolutely fit Hall perfectly. i know Hester broke Primetime’s all time record, but Hall was on a whole other level imo.
I remember watching him on NFL highlights in the morning before school and it was just absurd.
That spin move and false step is still the single greatest juke move I've over seen
I think Kansas City is always gonna have a good return man
Carlos C.M true
iONLY 😳
I grew up watching Hall and I forgot how good he was, damn! Thanks for the reminder, what a special player he was
Desmond Howard, Dante Hall, Devin Hester, I’m noticing a pattern here
Oof The Penguin That DH gene is strong
Washington just gotta put Dwayne Haskins back there
it was a joy to watch the man play the game..!!!.. We have had so many great players over these long 50 years.. but never have they all been together at one time.. until now!.. . super54.. go chiefs..!!
Why are all the chiefs return men so good?!
I’ve never seen anyone look so damn shifty. This guy has to be the best kick returner of all time, absolute freak of an athlete.
Good ol Dick Vermeil .. never met a hug he didnt like or tear he couldnt shed.
This was incredible!!! Love this channel!
2:57 ☠️
Byte Gaming My Ankles Got Spooked After Seeing That
I don't care what nobody says Dante Hall had to ultra instincts ability before Goku😁😁😁😁😁
The return against Denver at 6:50 has possibly the worst uncalled block in the back I've ever seen. Dude took out two guys directly in front of the official.
Denial
Loved watching this guy play ball!
Goated when I was playing football in highschool and college. He was one of my favorite runners as well as other
Man football had so many greats in the early 2000's and mid 90's
Had them strong tendons son.
I got chills watching this. Actually watching this games were unreal
That second juke @4:25 is incredible. So suttle but devastating. He knew how to put defenders bodies where he wanted.
2003 Chiefs: Green, Gonzalez, Holmes, Hall 2017 Chiefs: Smith, Kelce, Hunt, Hill Extremely Similar players
Dude was straight up nasty but also benefited from blocks in the back
I thoroughly enjoyed that! I like the way he made them tackle each other. Especially that Friendly Fire Cut Block.
Dante Hall was my favorite. Me and my brother both had his jerseys and we liked the chiefs so much randomly for those few years with hall, Gonzalez and Holmes. haha Good Times! man
HE COULD! GO! ALL! THE! WAY! 😎
I’ll bet you anything he knew he was going to do that double cut back move when he saw the bodies start to pile up on the ten yard line. He knew it all along. Pure football genius!
This guy is and always will be amazing
He was without a doubt.. the best return man in the history of football.. and so much fun to watch every week.. don’t think we will see anything like him for a long while
What's a return man
There’s fast and there’s quick. This is an example of quick
Imagine if he played with tyreek hill and jamal charles....damn
KC would be unstoppable. i mean they're great now. But a young Dante Hall in his prime?? Scary
@DICK LONG better? Ehh.. He's definitely more reliable and trustworthy. A healthy Jamal Charles was a baaaaad man
@DICK LONG I wish he would have tooken advantage of Dante a lil more in the offense
MY MIND CANT TAKE THIS.......DANTE WAS NASTY SHIFTY BRUH. CHARLES AND HILL ARE NASTY FAST.
@DICK LONG facts
Dante Hall and Priest Holmes made me love KC as a Steelers fan even to this day
