As a colts fan I hated Fred Taylor, dude was so good and couldn't be stopped. He usually ran all over Indy. How is this man not in the Hall of Fame. Freddie T was special and definitely a pleasure to watch.
11,000 yrd club Fred Taylor , Corey Dillon just to name a couple size (6'1". 225-230 lb backs vision power everything you need in a rb then you have Jamal Lewis 10,000 yrd club he had the same qualities only thing concussions took him out same with Clinton Portis all great backs though
Man I’m a huge colts fan and after seeing edge get in I had to come back and watch this again get Fred into the hall he torched my team for years and I can still respect the tough amazinf back that he was these writers need to fuck off let players vote on who’s worthy
@@jangofett6634 exactly. if guys like terrell davis who was only exceptional for a five year window and edgerrin james who has mostly identical stats to him get in the hall, i think freddy t deserves a spot
There's simply nobody close to him. He was truly a freak of nature. 4.3 speed, 6'2" 240. Could run absolutely anyone over with ease, and the BEST VISION/CUTBACK ability I've seen in the game in FOREVER!
💯% facts my little league team were the Jags and we won the superbowl in those Turquoise jerseys. Definitely became a Jag fan and that Fred Taylor team was my favorite
6’1”, 234 pounds, 4.29 40 yard dash. Nuff said. Not to mention 11,000+ rushing yards with all of those injuries the doctors never fixed. If they were fixed, he could’ve played more years in Jacksonville with MJD as a 1-2 punch.
Car Nation Videos so? He was never healthy because the doctors never fixed his injuries. If he wanted to, he could have sued the doctors for medical malpractice and won back in 2015-16 when he found out the truth, but he chose to forgive and forget. If he’d have played at least half those games at full health, he could have been too 5 in rushing yards.
Car Nation Videos if only the doctors had taken better care of his injuries. Considering he tore his groin off the bone in 2001, yet the doctor told him it was just a sprain. Should have gotten surgery for it.
I don’t know if there’s another runner in history more complete than Fred Taylor. He could shake you, he could beat you to the boundary, he had nice hands and was a great receiver, he had BIG breakaway speed, and if none of that worked he’d run you the F$&! over. Power speed hands shiftiness?? Dude is Hall of Fame worthy. No question.
Here from the I Am Athlete Podcast. Sheesh!! Fred was niiice with it!! Lot of burst for a RB of that size and strength. Reminds me of Adrian Peterson with better pass catching
Man has 7 1,000+ yard seasons had a year where he had 1500+ yards rushing and still didn’t make the pro bowl. The amount of under appreciation is crazy. Really underrated
It was because Preist Holmes, Shaun Alexander, Jerome Bettis, Edgerrin James, Curtis Martin, Corey Dillion, Jamaal Lewis, Larry Johnson, Willie Parker, Eddie George. Taylor didn’t make the Pro Bowl as a rookie even though he had 1200 yards and 17 TDs lol. Corey Dillion made the Pro Bowl with 1130 yards and 4 TDs. LOL!
I remember how much respect he use to get from the Commentators at the end of his career. Especially when he went to the patriots. Everyone wanted to see him get a ring
If u actually remember Fred when he played his size speed and juke ability is up there with the absolute best Dude ripped off big chunk runs damn near weekly
Fred Taylor was sweet. Speed powerful and moves. Two hundred and 30 pounds of pure truth. Only RB I've seen run Brain Dawkins clean over. Jim Brown even gave him praise smooth the smoothies running back he ever seen.
He reminds me so much of Barry Saunders with the start stop fakes, the jump cuts in the hole, the balance, the broken arm tackles, the ability to main close to top speed on cuts once through the hole. The man is 100% a HOF player. Represents a true warrior mentality.
Persistence I was watching to remind me of how good he was and because of watching The Pivot a Damn Good podcast. Those three together are perfect and some excellent guest's.!
The most underrated RB!!! He had the total package. Size, strength, speed, and incredible agility. Barry and Emmit had to slow down and stutter step to make people miss. Fred could do it at full speed which by the way nobody could catch. His abilities and fearlessness and talents just superseded what the human body can physically handle!!! Definitely deserves to be in the HOF!!!
How many games do you think Fred missed? It was 55 regular season games. That is almost 3 and a half seasons. He still retired as the 17th all time RB. Only 48 WRs in the history of the NFL have ever had 10,000 yards....Fred Taylor played with 2 of them in Smith and McCardell, which means he had to share the ball with them too. If Taylor could have half of those games back that he was injured then were talking top 10. To put it in perspective Emmitt Smith missed 5 regular season games. Taylor also played in an era where Alexander scored 28 TDs, LT scored 29, Preist scored 30, Larry Johnson rushed for 1800, Edge James, Jerome Bettis, Fast Willie Parker, Corey Dillion, Curtis Martin, Eddie George, Jamal Lewis went for 2000, Terrell Davis goes for 2000, Arian Foster, I’m probably forgetting a few but it seemed like every year a RB would have the season of his life and Taylor would get over looked. Taylor could separate. He’s definitely Hall Of Fame material. Longest runs in the NFL at age 32 years old was 84 yards. Longest run in NFL playoff history. If you ever wanna see what a 300 yard rushing game would look like then go watch Jags vs Dolphins 1999 playoff game. Steelers Gave 234 yards rushing and 4 TDs at last game of 3 rivers. He’s also a national champion. It’s too bad he didn’t get a ring with New England. It’s also horrible he didn’t get a ring in 1999 with the Jags.
Remember on Ncaa 14 when you’d get that 5 star balanced Rb who had the size and strength of a power back but insane speed and quickness? This is literally that in real life get him in the hall!
Great RB n one of my favorites. For a guy who was said to not have elite speed, well shit he looked pretty fast to me taking it to the house n outrunning the ops!
He had speed, vision and strength of rb to be the greatest of all time. However he ran from side to side allot so that most likely caused allot of his issues with injury. I hated the jags but loved watching the games with Freddy in them.
Who’s from “I Am Athlete” finally deciding to see how 🔥 bro was 🤣
On Soul💀
He wont shut up about it
Bruh I see why Fred need to be in the hof
I seen him play in high school he was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I always knew Fred was a beast . I seen a clip when he said which LBs he gave the business to. Patrick surtain Sr got the business a lot i see
As a colts fan I hated Fred Taylor, dude was so good and couldn't be stopped. He usually ran all over Indy. How is this man not in the Hall of Fame. Freddie T was special and definitely a pleasure to watch.
most underrated running back of all time
These young kids don’t understand how nice those 90s Jaguars offenses were, hell they had some great players on defense too
Freddie T deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. R E S P E C T.
I love the way he ran…..freaking awesome.
The very definition of underrated.
Fred is hall of fame.but Eric Rhett is the definition of underrated
Needs to be in the HOF ASAP
Very few players with 11,000 yards that no one really talks about he deserves more talk
being hurt so much early in his career stinks I think he be near 14k otherwise
@@victorlorenzo2870 true. If he played for Pittsburgh, Denver, GB, NY, Dallas, Philly, or NE earlier, easy hall of fame.

That is a man amongst boys, put him in the hall of fame, he belongs period.
Should we put Steven Jackson, Corey Dillon, and LeSean McCoy in too?
Injured to much.
@@ajburrr word is he’s a HOF
7 1000 yard seasons 🤷🏿♂️
@@bigred9991 7 1000 yard seasons
Fred Taylor is the most underrated running back in NFL history!
His cut-backs/vision was INSANE !!!
There's simply nobody close to him. He was truly a freak of nature. 4.3 speed, 6'2" 240. Could run absolutely anyone over with ease, and the BEST VISION/CUTBACK ability I've seen in the game in FOREVER!
Bo Jackson: Hold my beer.
NGL, Freddy T was special. Bo, Fred, and AP are all kind of the same build, athletic ability
Old school RB. Vision, speed and the ability to change directions on a dime. Fred was elite when defenses were actually good.
*Fred was always one of my favorite backs*
HALL OF FAMER 🗣️🗣️
Jags need to bring back these uniforms
True...................and it's a lot of teams that need to start wearing there throwbacks........
@Rowdy Jr. Yeah, we're in a horrible era. That's exactly why we should be trying to go back in every way possible.
💯% facts my little league team were the Jags and we won the superbowl in those Turquoise jerseys. Definitely became a Jag fan and that Fred Taylor team was my favorite
They might win something!
One of the Goats
Fred Taylor was a beast. Watching from South Africa.
6’1”, 234 pounds, 4.29 40 yard dash. Nuff said.
Not to mention 11,000+ rushing yards with all of those injuries the doctors never fixed. If they were fixed, he could’ve played more years in Jacksonville with MJD as a 1-2 punch.
I just wonder how his career wouldn't of been if he didn't get hurt all the time...........AND HE STILL HAVE GREAT NUMBERS!!!!
Jsn Highlights he missed 55 regular season games. That’s like 4 seasons.
Car Nation Videos so? He was never healthy because the doctors never fixed his injuries. If he wanted to, he could have sued the doctors for medical malpractice and won back in 2015-16 when he found out the truth, but he chose to forgive and forget. If he’d have played at least half those games at full health, he could have been too 5 in rushing yards.
Caerlaverock Jaguar should have retired in the top 5
Car Nation Videos if only the doctors had taken better care of his injuries. Considering he tore his groin off the bone in 2001, yet the doctor told him it was just a sprain. Should have gotten surgery for it.

Facts
That's why Jim Brown & Marcus Allen said he was the best Rb in the NFL!! And this was when LT was in the league
This guy should be in the hall of fame! Je was sooo good
Freddy T. Is defentley the best back in jaguars history and it aint even close.
Wow ! The run @3:00 and @3:49 elite level running ! 6'1 230 with great top end speed
Here from the I Am Athlete Podcast. Sheesh!! Fred was niiice with it!! Lot of burst for a RB of that size and strength. Reminds me of Adrian Peterson with better pass catching
U mean AP remind u of Fred........ Respect ur Elders lol
@@vincentcoleman9159 you right you right
Facts he just would never give u 16 games that was the only knock on him! 💯
Man has 7 1,000+ yard seasons had a year where he had 1500+ yards rushing and still didn’t make the pro bowl. The amount of under appreciation is crazy. Really underrated
Nobody ever liked the Jags for some reason. Not sure if it’s their location or what, the team has never had any respect.
It was because Preist Holmes, Shaun Alexander, Jerome Bettis, Edgerrin James, Curtis Martin, Corey Dillion, Jamaal Lewis, Larry Johnson, Willie Parker, Eddie George.
Taylor didn’t make the Pro Bowl as a rookie even though he had 1200 yards and 17 TDs lol. Corey Dillion made the Pro Bowl with 1130 yards and 4 TDs. LOL!
@Car Nation Videos There’s just 1 glaring RB missing from your list there, and in my opinion he was the most talented in that era. Any guesses?
I remember how much respect he use to get from the Commentators at the end of his career. Especially when he went to the patriots. Everyone wanted to see him get a ring
If u actually remember Fred when he played his size speed and juke ability is up there with the absolute best
Dude ripped off big chunk runs damn near weekly
Same as Edgerian James if u remember him, they had the same style of running
Loved Fred Taylor and Jimmy Smith
Most underrated rb ever
Fred Taylor and Curtis Martin are so underrated .
Fred Taylor was sweet. Speed powerful and moves. Two hundred and 30 pounds of pure truth. Only RB I've seen run Brain Dawkins clean over. Jim Brown even gave him praise smooth the smoothies running back he ever seen.
Fred was that dude!! Specially when MJD got there he was 30 running like he was still a rookie.
You cant rb's in their 30s outrunning DB's & weightin over 220 that's insane
DISRESPECTFUL they
still don't have this man in the hall of fame smh
No one made better cuts than ol’ Fred
FSU fan. Loved and hated Fred Taylor because I respect great players. he was a stud.
Yep 97 game
Used to watch this dude I Florida u..this brother was dynamic
I remember him being really good but I forgot how special he was.
How is this man not in the Hall of Fame
If you never seen him play, you'll never know how good he was and how good he could've been.
We know he was an all time great.
I was born too late
FRED TAYLOR IS THE REASON IM A JAGS FAN TILL THIS DAY #JAGUARNATION 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
2:58 longest run in post-season history still stands to this day
Damn, and it was on my Dolphins😡!
@@jamestheradioman happens to the best of us man
Not gonna lie. I see him now on the Pivot and I knew he was nice. But now I know. How did I not know? My god.
subbed for the mike doss retribution clip...been looking for that
Lifelong jags fan here. Best rb I've ever watched growing up. Injuries slowed his career also.
He reminds me so much of Barry Saunders with the start stop fakes, the jump cuts in the hole, the balance, the broken arm tackles, the ability to main close to top speed on cuts once through the hole. The man is 100% a HOF player. Represents a true warrior mentality.
Randy Moss was 'The Freak' at receiver, Freddy T was 'The Freak' at running back!
Fred Taylor one of my favorite backs of all time
Loved the highlights. Gotta appreciate the magic of a superstar.
Hall of fame!
Really enjoyed watching him play. So hard to tackle. Guys would just slip off of him like he was covered with WD-40...
Persistence I was watching to remind me of how good he was and because of watching The Pivot a Damn Good podcast. Those three together are perfect and some excellent guest's.!
Duvallll man so underrated was with the jaguars during bad times we love you bro
You mean good and bad
One of the best to ever do it
Man it hurt me so bad to see Freddy in a Pats uniform, truly in my opinion he was the Jag too start it all
These highlights are unreal! 🔥🔥🔥
DUUUVALLLLL!!!!! 🗣
CHOMP CHOMP Duuuuuvaalllll!!!!
904 baby

One of the best to ever do it!! Give that man a gold jacket🐆 #Respect
Those jag teams were stacked with talent
My boys always called me Taylor cause I rocked this mans jersey constantly. The definition of underrated!
230 lbs runs 4.28
H....O....F....lets go!
4:30 the former Miami Gator? As a Gator fan, that was like nails on a chalkboard.
Jacksonville was stacked on offense from 1998-2002.
Fred one of the best, couldn’t be stopped
🔥 him and mojo was nasty
One of my favorite running backs. He was a beast on NFL2K back in the day.
How many games do you think Fred missed? It was 55 regular season games. That is almost 3 and a half seasons. He still retired as the 17th all time RB.
Only 48 WRs in the history of the NFL have ever had 10,000 yards....Fred Taylor played with 2 of them in Smith and McCardell, which means he had to share the ball with them too.

Taylor also played in an era where Alexander scored 28 TDs, LT scored 29, Preist scored 30, Larry Johnson rushed for 1800, Edge James, Jerome Bettis, Fast Willie Parker, Corey Dillion, Curtis Martin, Eddie George, Jamal Lewis went for 2000, Terrell Davis goes for 2000, Arian Foster,
I’m probably forgetting a few but it seemed like every year a RB would have the season of his life and Taylor would get over looked.
Taylor could separate.
He’s definitely Hall Of Fame material. Longest runs in the NFL at age 32 years old was 84 yards. Longest run in NFL playoff history.
If you ever wanna see what a 300 yard rushing game would look like then go watch Jags vs Dolphins 1999 playoff game.
Steelers Gave 234 yards rushing and 4 TDs at last game of 3 rivers.
He’s also a national champion. It’s too bad he didn’t get a ring with New England.
It’s also horrible he didn’t get a ring in 1999 with the Jags.
Fred Taylor and Mariuce JonesDrew was a deadly backfield with Byron Leftwitch at QB
He's a beast I just heard of him he should be hall of famer
6'1 223 lbs runs a 4.29
You only get a player like this once every twenty years
im definetly not into football if it took a show to find how good this man was
Underrated frfr one of the best ever facts
Remember on Ncaa 14 when you’d get that 5 star balanced Rb who had the size and strength of a power back but insane speed and quickness? This is literally that in real life get him in the hall!
guy was FAST as F@%$@, EXPLOSIVE with JUKES!
god damn that o line was wet af
RUN BIG FELLA! FREAKY FRED WAS GOOD GOOD 😳
Great RB n one of my favorites. For a guy who was said to not have elite speed, well shit he looked pretty fast to me taking it to the house n outrunning the ops!
He was over 220 lbs running a 4.29 !!
One of the most underrated backs in nfl history
He accelerates as fast as vick their running styles even look the same
You don't see rb's over 220lbs with that acceleration often
The VISION is insane. This man saw all the lines.
I remember some of these plays on espn and game break highlights.
Beauty of the beast.
HOF....CALL THIS MAN
One of my fav rb ever
He had speed, vision and strength of rb to be the greatest of all time. However he ran from side to side allot so that most likely caused allot of his issues with injury. I hated the jags but loved watching the games with Freddy in them.
He had that Earl Campbell size
how did you find these highlights i been looking for new highlights of this man for years. Besides the same old highlight you see
great video
One or two cuts and he was gone. Very explosive back.
My dude had the jets. Top 10-15 rb all time when healthy
Fred was a beast..
Fabulous the rapper in the song keeping it gangster referenced Fred Taylor on his track.
Beast of beast . The pivot famz
Dolphins fan. That playoff loss still hurts.
Listen I love watching jags back in. The day cause he ran so well patients an use blockers the best
Most career rushing yards for any HOF-eligible player who’s not in the HOF
Wow, best video ever. Finally!
The pivot made me go back and look at Fred’s career
The Jaguars with Smith &McCardell , Brunell, Taylor, and they had a defense too, listen those dudes struck fear in teams !!!!
It's literally the worst how things shook down for #28. God bless you and god bless those ohhhh sooo sweet feet.
Best running back ever to play in a jaguar’s uniform!
