The run, right into the middle of Isiah Robertson's chest (Rams #58) is one of my all-time favorite football plays. That was Earl's signature run for me.
+RPG 808 honestly it was Jack Tatum who put a lick on earl. he hit earl right under the chin but earl still won. if earl would of dropped his shoulder Tatum would've flew into the stands lol
john dehmer too bad they didn't score on that drive and ultimately lost that game. Not much team support for Earl from the rest of the team, or just not half the heart.
Earl was fast, powerful, elusive and tough. Always acted like “he’d been in the end zone” when he scored. Never acted like selfish fool like we see in today’s players. Great person and a class act!
His quads were massive. How do you wrap up a guy like him one on one open field? The answer is most don’t! Too powerful but also fast enough to but no past you with his speed.
The guardian my hero ,love Houston Oilers and their fight song, spend too time in a super great college career i see why college players leave college early
He is the best running back of all time. Me and my husband are always amazed every time we watch this man play. Watch the NFL highlights and all of his games and judge for yourself.
He is definitely one of the greatest, but the best of all time is Jim Brown. And as much as I love Earl I would have to put OJ and Barry Sanders ahead of him. Walter Peyton is also right up there, but Earl is definitely in that conversation.
My hat is off to the maker of this video, thank you. Barry and sweetness may have been better pure runners but the Tyler rose is my favorite of all time and still the mold for a power back. These old films still give me chills.
Hes like 1 or 2 steps slower than Bo, moves like Barry, hits the edge like Tomlinson, catches out backfield like smith, and runs your ass over too. Hes amazing.
2:59....my FAVORITE HIGHLIGHT OF ALLLLL TIME!! That is just straight up punishment for being on the field!! It was like a Hellfire missile locking on target and slamming in!
God, what a beautiful running back...lovedwatching Earl Campbell.....he was like none other that i can remember....I think I enjoyed him the most....thrilling to watch!!!
@@intoxicatedgrandpa1596 the titans are technically the Oilers just like the Ravens were technically the Browns, that spirit was lost, i would say the Texans are closer in Spirit to the Oilers now.
Great job on this video! Campbell is my favorite back of all time. Man moved like Barry Sanders at his weight, and hitting the edge like he does? Holy hell, and can lower his helmet run you over too. Catches out of back field? Wow hes a total back.
Rams linebacker Isaiah Robertson # 58's head is STILL ringing after Earl Campbell blasted into him with his helmet. Still one the greatest running highlights of ANY runningback !!
When I was in school our coach had all the backs on the team, full and half backs watch earls footage. He was like a truck moving through tough mud, just kept them wheels rolling!
To me Earl was the best rb to ever play the game for the first 4 years he played. After that he was worn out after carrying the ball 30 times a game and he didn't shy away from contact. One of my all time favorite players and I'm a Cowboys fan.
The 2:53 mark is the single greatest 15 yard run of all time. Not to mention the most brutal hit an offensive player has ever put on a defensive player. When he does that little hop-skip and regathers and then just explodes into dudes chest.....one of my favorite highlights of all time. Earl and Barry were my favorites of all time to watch. Loved Walter, Ladanian and many others but those two have the greatest highlight reel of any of them.
played against him in 74 in high school,he was fast score John Tyler 34 Marshall 14 they won AAAA Texas championship that yr. hard to tackle cause his fuccin thighs kept pumpingband his thighs were massive. had to get to him quick b4 he built up a head of steam.
This guy was magic--I used to love to watch him play. The Oilers couldn't seem to beat Pittsburg, but I remember one game in particular against them where he got held to low yardage because the field was too muddy and he just couldn't get his traction. The ground couldn't hold his power and he just dug holes where his shoes touched the field. If that same game had been held on a dry field or Astroturf, I think Earl would have kicked butt and taken names--with a Houston victory the result.
If he couldn't outrun you, he'd juke you. If he couldn't juke you, he'd run you over. If he couldn't run you over, he'd carry you with him. I've even seen him pass. The total package in a RB. And no one, I mean NO ONE had more class!
One of the most underrated rb of all time. He was the Oilers offense. Campbell to the right. To the left. Straight up the middle. Bum cut his career short.
Wish they could really clean up old sports footage to hd levels then it would be much clearer who the all time greats were in various sports ,Bullet being a great example .
God damn, just looked up Hayes- 71 TD & 7,414 yards on only 371 catches. That’s insane. He played before I was born, guess that’s why I never heard of him
When Earl got into the secondary, he already had a head of steam going. No defensive back wanted to tangle with all that mass rolling his way... 😮. My favorite player. Him and Dorsett 🇺🇸
Earl was a one man wrecking crew. The tear-away jerseys of that era added a few yards to each run as well. He didn't mess with juking defenders. He just ran over them.
I'm as big of a BEARS fan as there is. Walter Payton is / was / always will be my favorite player of all time, but, if I were an owner and had to pick a RB, my first choice would be The Tyler Rose. He was the most dominating RB I've ever seen. There may be more well rounded ( pass catching , blocking ) backs than Earl but there are none better at running the ball when all 11 defensive players know who's getting it.
+patron40silver GREAT COMMENT YA MUST ' WATCHED HIM " LIVE " BACK iN THE DAY LIKE ME OLD SCHOOL KICK ASS AND MAKE YOU MISS TAKE NO SHIT CHICAGO STYLE ! REMEMBER SOLDIERS FIELD IN EARL'S ONLY GAME AND LATE IN A CLOSE STRUGGLE CAMPBELL WENT UP THE MIDDLE AND CARRIED # 73 HARTENSTEIN !) 10 YRDS ON HIS BACK BEFORE SHAKING HIM OFF AND TUMBLING 50 yards for the game winning TD
Well put. Obviously you recognize earl's talent for destruction. I wouldn't want to have to bring him down. Chris carter joe Montana and earl and some good linemen and look out.
Earl was a superb combination of power and finesse. Looking at the highlights made me appreciate his talent and how disciplined he was with switching the carrying of the ball away from the defenders. What a stud.
omfg... what a beast. Literally just manhandles the guy at 2:09, plowing through defense. SO FAST for his size, guy is like a mountain combined with a muscle car. Crazy!
Awesome. Watch how he carries the ball like a hot loaf of bread, but he rarely fumbled. Wow, he was like a steamroller. Walter Payton, Earl Campbell, and Barry Sanders were why we watched the NFL.
Earl cambell ...I’ve always considered him the best rb in history .. He didn get he tackled ...he ran throuhgh people ..the man was a human freight train
If you were alive in the 70's, then you heard that shot that Tatum put on Campbell, but still managed to stagger into the end zone. The 70's peaked into footballs greatest decade.
I also remember reading a story about him playing HS ball, he was in the clear for a touchdown and went back and flattened every defensive player just to prove a point, then turned around and walked slowly into the end zone. I loved watching him carry 4 or 5 guys for an extra 10 yards. What a badass.
One of the great's. Saw a documentary on him and the suffering from all the hits left practically paralyzed. Bless you. Going back to Q.B.Luck you've made a wise decision screw the fans that booed you. Life is better healthy.
From life long Eagles Fan, He was the most Powerful Running Back Ever ! The best clip is vs Rams when he Runs the Guy over like a semi Truck and Runs out of his Jersey !
As a kid growing up in NY I remember seeing Earl in his cowboy hat with coach Phillips on tv. He may possibly have the greatest highlight reel in NFL history. He didn’t have the longest career but there were some incredible moments. His power and speed were uncanny.
I admit I wasn’t familiar with the old school Houston Oilers. I can’t remember which year it was, but my friend and I played Madden all the time. We would play with different teams and sometimes we would do the teams that were the greats. My friend didn’t know know who Earl Campbell was either but he used an early 80s Oilers team and their running back was so fast and almost impossible to tackle. I was like who the hell is that guy? I looked it up and found out all about Earl Campbell. Another back that reminds me of Earl Campbell was Bo Jackson. A huge guy that had blazing speed and was agile as a cat

you saw that guy's soul leave
john dehmer too bad they didn't score on that drive and ultimately lost that game. Not much team support for Earl from the rest of the team, or just not half the heart.
Chills went through me when i saw him do that... He blasted his ass to the dirt then his jersey exploded 2 seconds after
Earl was fast, powerful, elusive and tough. Always acted like “he’d been in the end zone” when he scored. Never acted like selfish fool like we see in today’s players. Great person and a class act!
Randy Dalton the fans of today ate selfish too 😉
His quads were massive. How do you wrap up a guy like him one on one open field? The answer is most don’t! Too powerful but also fast enough to but no past you with his speed.
Better than Bo Jackson👍
@@spiderreed350 Bo Jackson was talented but was never a legend.
Exactly I don’t understand why people put him top five he’s top 200
Texas is so proud of our Tyler Rose!!! We love you Big Earl! ♥
David R went to my school
There will never be another EARL CAMPBELL !
The guardian my hero ,love Houston Oilers and their fight song, spend too time in a super great college career i see why college players leave college early
The guardian No there won't.
Closet was Bo Jackson!
Chris Scully bo so fun to watch
Christian okoye
The original BEASTMODE!
13mrservon true story
The difference is, Jim Brown was bigger than the defensive lineman in many cases. Earl was doing this against much bigger and faster defenders.
Larry Csonka was a beast too but not quite like Earl.
He is the best running back of all time. Me and my husband are always amazed every time we watch this man play. Watch the NFL highlights and all of his games and judge for yourself.
He is definitely one of the greatest, but the best of all time is Jim Brown. And as much as I love Earl I would have to put OJ and Barry Sanders ahead of him. Walter Peyton is also right up there, but Earl is definitely in that conversation.
+Kevin Carribean, Emmitt better than Earl?!? You must be smoking the stupid shit!! And the 'boy's are my team!
Great but Sweetness Walter Payton was the best all time then Barry Sanders.
I think so too. He just wasn’t able to play as long. He was the original NFL power back.
My hat is off to the maker of this video, thank you. Barry and sweetness may have been better pure runners but the Tyler rose is my favorite of all time and still the mold for a power back. These old films still give me chills.
when he was healthy.. he had no equal! EVER
Wayne Oneal my hero too spend too time in college super great college career
No offensive player was ever more feared than Big Earl
Hes like 1 or 2 steps slower than Bo, moves like Barry, hits the edge like Tomlinson, catches out backfield like smith, and runs your ass over too. Hes amazing.
Bo Jackson
JIM BROWN
I'm not a football fan but this guy is a beast the power in his legs made him unstoppable...pure power!!!!
2:59....my FAVORITE HIGHLIGHT OF ALLLLL TIME!! That is just straight up punishment for being on the field!! It was like a Hellfire missile locking on target and slamming in!
God, what a beautiful running back...lovedwatching Earl Campbell.....he was like none other that i can remember....I think I enjoyed him the most....thrilling to watch!!!
it's an outrage the Houston Oilers don't exist anymore.
MJ X, yuh they do they're the titans
@@intoxicatedgrandpa1596 the titans are technically the Oilers just like the Ravens were technically the Browns, that spirit was lost, i would say the Texans are closer in Spirit to the Oilers now.
@@intoxicatedgrandpa1596 No the Oilers will always be Houston
@David Rosales 100% agree!!
Love Houston Oilers fight song, earl Campbell my hero college & Houston Oilers oils
Great job on this video! Campbell is my favorite back of all time. Man moved like Barry Sanders at his weight, and hitting the edge like he does? Holy hell, and can lower his helmet run you over too. Catches out of back field? Wow hes a total back.
The utter best combo of speed and power.
Always enjoyed watching him run what an exceptional athlete
I loved watching Campbell waaaaaaaaay back when I was 13 in 1980. He was a BEAST.
Nice ...music was right on time..With that reckingball of a man.The great Earl Campbell
My favorite highlights aren't the big long ones, but the short sometimes no gains that just show their power, determination, and fearlessness
Omg...poetry in motion.
Perfect song for this highlight
Rams linebacker Isaiah Robertson # 58's head is STILL ringing after Earl Campbell blasted into him with his helmet. Still one the greatest running highlights of ANY runningback !!
Funny thing is, that was a 6X Pro Bowler, and Campbell was a rookie at the time. He didn't do that to a scrub.
Good point
I love how he synced up the music cue to that hit too.
THIS is what greatness looks like
That dude was awesome ! I was 12 yrs old back then , I had a poster on my wall of him running the ball he was a bad ass .
When I was in school our coach had all the backs on the team, full and half backs watch earls footage. He was like a truck moving through tough mud, just kept them wheels rolling!
To me Earl was the best rb to ever play the game for the first 4 years he played. After that he was worn out after carrying the ball 30 times a game and he didn't shy away from contact. One of my all time favorite players and I'm a Cowboys fan.
Yep he won 3 opoys
The 2:53 mark is the single greatest 15 yard run of all time. Not to mention the most brutal hit an offensive player has ever put on a defensive player. When he does that little hop-skip and regathers and then just explodes into dudes chest.....one of my favorite highlights of all time. Earl and Barry were my favorites of all time to watch. Loved Walter, Ladanian and many others but those two have the greatest highlight reel of any of them.
I'm literally watching this while eating Earl Campbell's Hot Links. who else?
I don't watch much Football, but it's the links that brought me here. What a fantastic player he is.
Me
I have to watch this every year just so I can shake my head in amazement.
Love that you timed it so the song was saying "still kicking ass" right as Earl rammed Robertson onto his own ass...
2:53 Total savage. One of the best football plays EVER.
played against him in 74 in high school,he was fast score John Tyler 34 Marshall 14 they won
AAAA Texas championship that yr.
hard to tackle cause his fuccin thighs kept pumpingband his thighs were massive. had to get to him quick b4 he built up a head of steam.
You played him, but did you actually tackle him?
You sure you don't mean 73? That was in 1973, his senior year.
2:55 - 3:10 one of the greatest runs in NFL history.
This guy was magic--I used to love to watch him play. The Oilers couldn't seem to beat Pittsburg, but I remember one game in particular against them where he got held to low yardage because the field was too muddy and he just couldn't get his traction.

***** Walter was a little better
***** Walter was not more talented but he had longevity on his side.
***** And addiction killed his career too.
colmhain Agreed. he was a different breed of runner. Even after all these years, I still measure every other runner by him.
colmhain Agreed. he was a different breed of runner. Even after all these years, I still measure every other runner by him.
What...a..Great... highlight film! My Favorite!!!! The Tyler Rose!!!
One of the most underrated rb of all time. He was the Oilers offense. Campbell to the right. To the left. Straight up the middle. Bum cut his career short.
This dude out ran corners and safeties..one of the longest strides of any fullback..plus the original beast mode
Grew up watching Earl Campbell, those were the days!
that was the old school running back power size and speed now you got smaller quicker running backs it was a beauty to watch him
Showing my grandsons who all play football. Who papas hero was.
He was and I'm sure still amazing..
Wish I could meet him
Favorite RB of all time.
I love the way earl campbell ran. I used to watch him when i was a kid living in Detroit.
The greatest running back of my lifetime, and I'm 60.
I didn't realize steamrollers were allowed on the field in football.
Thunder Cricket nice profile pic😂
Billy Sims was a slasher. He was not a steamroller like Campbell. Still, Sims was great. He was Barry Sanders before Barry Sanders.
They weren't. That's why they allowed cement trucks instead.
for a big man, he was quick as hell. Amazing the power and agility he had. Great video.
Motley Crue and Earl Campbell 💪 Satisfaction guaranteed
Hell yeah!!! Best highlight and highlight music 🎶🤘🏽
Great vid dude.....grew up in SE Texas during the EC/OA Bum Phillips days.....brought back memories.
He was awesome as in the essence of the word. I wish and wait for the next Earl Cambell . His Texas film even better.
I was 10 yo in 1977, and i was addicted to Earl Campbell ! Run Earl Run !!
Him and Peterson are my top 2 and they both had the same mentality that every snap they were gonna get the score
the song fit so well i loved it
Watching this video + Bang energy= MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE
What a monster! Where is the love for this man i ask you? Thank you for sharing.
Perfect song for the perfect beast!
in my opinion him and bob hayes are the two most underrated players of all time
Both are very underrated hall of fsmer
Greyson Vaughan bob haye my hero too, fastest football player ever,geeat receiver too
Wish they could really clean up old sports footage to hd levels then it would be much clearer who the all time greats were in various sports ,Bullet being a great example .
Bullet bob hayes and earl Campbell, earl Campbell used be like a superhero in football
God damn, just looked up Hayes- 71 TD & 7,414 yards on only 371 catches. That’s insane. He played before I was born, guess that’s why I never heard of him
Game for game, one of the best there ever was- and I grew up in Chicago in the 80s...
#1 power back in my book
When Earl got into the secondary, he already had a head of steam going. No defensive back wanted to tangle with all that mass rolling his way... 😮. My favorite player. Him and Dorsett 🇺🇸
Poetry in motion. Beautiful
Simply unstoppable! One of the most exciting RB ever
To this day the best RB I’ve ever seen was Earl Campbell from 77-81.
Look at Walter Payton’s 1977 stats.
Dude was super human. I only wish he had a ring. Great guy and humble.
The greatest!
Balance, vision, power, speed, acceleration...he sounds more like a sports car than a tailback. He was the best.
The original beast mode!!
Earl was a one man wrecking crew. The tear-away jerseys of that era added a few yards to each run as well. He didn't mess with juking defenders. He just ran over them.
Thank you mr Campbell

OJ Simpson
Literally watch this video before every run to pump me up. Thank you, just subbed.
My favorite all time nfl player
Like dan (#7) said " he was a highlight reel evertime I gave him the ball" , gave Houston something to cheer about in the 70's
The ORIGINAL BEAST MODE!!
Earl was a superb combination of power and finesse. Looking at the highlights made me appreciate his talent and how disciplined he was with switching the carrying of the ball away from the defenders. What a stud.

Hell yes. He is the reason I went to UT. Passed up a juco scholarship because I wasn't NFL by a long shot. Loved my time in Austin. Go Tyler Rose!
Campbell was big, strong and fast.
Absolutely A Superman!!!
most powerful running back of all time
YO-MOM- A-HO- i love houson oiler fight song my hero earl Campbell
YO-MOM- A-HO- earl Campbell was the man college and pro, love Houston Oilers fight song
John riggans was way more powerful but thanks for your comment
Big Earl was damn near unstoppable!...
NNN i love Houston Oilers fight song, he was black superman
Awesome. Watch how he carries the ball like a hot loaf of bread, but he rarely fumbled. Wow, he was like a steamroller. Walter Payton, Earl Campbell, and Barry Sanders were why we watched the NFL.
Great music
Awesome Earl.
Music was perfect for this video - nice work.
Perfect song choice.
What song is this I don't recognize it?
Earl cambell ...I’ve always considered him the best rb in history ..
He didn get
he tackled ...he ran throuhgh people ..the man was a human freight train
Barry Sanders and Cristian Okoye in one package.
One of my favorite running backs, but the way he carried the ball must've drove the coaches crazy.
Didn't bother Bum a bit.
2:58 is the run I remember more than any other I've seen.
Power, speed, elusiveness, great hands, and balance.
Mr. Earl Campbell was the greatest running back in history.
If you were alive in the 70's, then you heard that shot that Tatum put on Campbell, but still managed to stagger into the end zone. The 70's peaked into footballs greatest decade.

That was BAD ASS!
simply one of the best....
Best power runner ever. Wish could have ran behind the Great Wall of Dallas .
From life long Eagles Fan, He was the most Powerful Running Back Ever ! The best clip is vs Rams when he Runs the Guy over like a semi Truck and Runs out of his Jersey !
As a kid growing up in NY I remember seeing Earl in his cowboy hat with coach Phillips on tv. He may possibly have the greatest highlight reel in NFL history. He didn’t have the longest career but there were some incredible moments. His power and speed were uncanny.
I can't believe he can hold the ball with one hand still run that hard and physical that's crazy
Kickstart my heart is the song in the backround its awesome
I admit I wasn’t familiar with the old school Houston Oilers. I can’t remember which year it was, but my friend and I played Madden all the time.
