I had never heard Edgerrin say two words. When Marvin Harrison is helping narrate your story, you know you're quiet. LOL...From what I can tell Edgerrin was a man of action...what a groovy brother...what a wonderful type of teammate to have.
He was a one hell of a back. He consistently put up 1200 rushing yards and 12+ touchdowns in a mostly passing offense. It was a great time to be a colts fan
The greatest workhorse running back of all time.Durable,dependable and gave 100% all the time I'm glad he's living the good life he earned it 10 times over.
I’m 37 years old I grew up in Indianapolis, I’m really glad that everyone got to see with this football life what I got to see when he played for the Colts
Edge is one of my favorite football players, he dont talk much, but he was raised right!!! The Colt showed so much class to get a ring for Edge even when he left the team, that says alot about an organization.
I remember seeing Edgerrin James signing the most autographs out of all the players, outside the locker room at the old Veteran Stadium in Philadelphia in 1999. He even signed one more while on the steps of the bus. But...he was in a good mood that afternoon, because he scored 3TDs and had 199 total yards in a 44-17 blowout win against the Eagles.
LEGENDgerrin James… what a beautiful Football Life, this one was humble and down to earth. What a great back but even a better person what was the exact opposite of what his cover presented.
I was 9 when we drafted Edge. Other than Peyton he will always be my favorite player. The older people here didn't really know what to make of him at first. But the longer he was here and the more we got to know him, the more we loved him. He's an amazing person and a legend here.
I have never heard a player say what Edge said after he left the Colts. Most players would be bitter but he figured out that the Colts could not keep everyone and he was the odd man out. However, his humility is amazing. What he said about helping Addai I can't ever recall a player that left a team say that. They were the best team in the NFL during 2005. I would have been upset if that was me and that is the sad history of the NFL salary cap. It breaks teams up and kills relationships between players and organizations. However, not with Edge and the Colts.
One of the most Underrated Legend, Humble Man, never let money change him the way he look and play his game his way unselfish. I'm glad I watch Football in 2000's special for Running Back's back then. Thank you Edgerrin James. Just wish he won one or two as A Colt and Cardinal.
The man is a very special person. Great athlete. But even a better man, Father, son, and friend. I wish him and his family and friends. Good Health, prosperity, and Happiness. God Bless you Mr James 🙏 Keep being who you are.
Edge was an absolute demon during his time with Indy. But can we talk about the insane amount of talent that the university of Miami had at the rb position from 96-04? Like you had edge, Portis, mcgahee, and gore. For those 8-9 years, you basically had a legit NFL running back who would gain at least 8000 yds in the NFL. Two of whom are or will be HoFers (edge and gore) and two who if they had a bit more longevity probably could’ve made a HoF case.
I like to separate Baltimore Colts from Indianapolis Colts personally… now as a Colts fan I’d definitely love to claim we’ve won 2 SBs but it just feels phony to claim that Baltimore SB win for my Indianapolis Colts, does that make any sense? Lol
I grew up in Naples FL went to Lely High School the older football players always talk about how GREAT he played. Immokalee vs Lely is ALWAYS a Big Game
I finally got to hear Marvin Harrison speak! Off my bucket list. Nah but really Edge never fell back. Even when hit in the backfield, he'd find a way to fall forward for at least 3-4 yards. He left money on the table by not conforming. Looking back on it, I appreciate his authenticity.
One word. Consistency. I think he had 8 seasons with at least 1200 yards rushing and 12+ touchdowns. In a passing offense with a hall of fame qb and two hall of fame wide outs lol man I didn't know how good we had it as colts fans back then.
My 4 favorite offensive players were Michael Vick, Edge James, Ocho Cinco, and Terrell Owens. Defense was Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Pat Tillman, Bryan Dawkins, and Rodney Harrison
Still crazy to think how the Rams traded the first round pick for Marshall Faulk in which the Colts used to draft James which means the Colts drafted 2 Hall of Fame running backs back to back remarkable
Very underrated due to playing with Peyton in that pass first offense. He was a dog at The U in that three headed monster of a backfield. Never will be anorher backfield that deep again. Arkansas probably the second best backfield with DMC, Peyton Hillis, and Felix Jones. Then you always got the Alabama backfield almost every year full of 5-star ranked recruited backs. So let me take back that statement there could be another backfield as deep as the U was but theyre one in a million
he was a beast with payton maning starvin marvin harriason reggie wayne they was a team back in the day when football was good quick player the pats owned use
Murderin' Marvin Harrison talking about people havin' the wrong impression is funny! Why do you have him on this>. What about Dwight Dixon and his family?

Took the cards to the bowl he was huge that playoff run just watch key run an key block after block just so clutch 3rd down was his time
@@nickshearer3091those Peyton Manning led offenses of the 2000s were among the greatest of all time!
Watching this before it’s taken down
Growing up the way they used to portray him in magazines and TV was as if he was thugged out like Pac Man Jones. This dude was wholesome as hell.
No they didn’t… he was always known to be quite..
I'm a 2000 baby. Being a literal kid yes that's how they made it seem. They made him seem like some quiet thug @@guccimane3731
22 years ago, dude actually rehabbed a torn acl all by himself. That's honestly one of the craziest things I've beard.

I've seen nearly all episodes of A Football Life. So many good ones. This one is among the top episodes and stores.

" It's too hard being someone else " There's a man of integrity!!
Edge Hall of Fame speech is one of the best speeches I ever heard..

Now we need a Marvin Harrison: A Football Life lol
Marvin Harrison was a hardcore G!!!
Thanks for posting!!
Thank you!!!
This man was the truth !!!!!!!!!!May her soul be bless ,This is one of my favorite U player over .
Colts also won a Super Bowl in 1971 while they were in Baltimore
I like to separate Baltimore Colts from Indianapolis Colts personally… now as a Colts fan I’d definitely love to claim we’ve won 2 SBs but it just feels phony to claim that Baltimore SB win for my Indianapolis Colts, does that make any sense? Lol
@@Austin.Kilgorewhat??? WHY??? makes no sense at all, Its the Colts franchise! they had the same helmets, same uniforms!! 😢
Ive watched him play one of the great running backs but after watching this he was a hall of fame father son friend brother amazing
AWESOME
I grew up in Naples FL went to Lely High School the older football players always talk about how GREAT he played. Immokalee vs Lely is ALWAYS a Big Game
What a great running back.and a nice person to go though what he did help kids out.
can't help but say...WHAT A GREAT GUY! AND PLAYER!
I watched him on tv against ucla run for 300 yards it was one of the most dominant games ive ever seen
That was my introduction to edge❤❤
Edgerrin James was my boy he carry that ball hard 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
The only thing I hate was Edge wasn’t on that Colts SuperBowl team
Yeah that definitely sucks… but good on Irsay for still giving him a ring regardless
Same. Loved him as a back. Just an amazing back.
As a lifelong Indianapolis resident, and Colts fan with blue blood in my veins, I approve this message. 👍👍
Rare discipline he stayed down fr
The instrumental is crazzzzzyyyy. Perfect fit for this segment!
As a Dolphins fan used to dread playing this dude. Was happy when they left the afc east.
They got the yacht wrong....Rohan Marley is the actor, and Montana is the former LB
Easily one of the most underrated RBs ever! I was pissed when my colts drafted him over Ricky
But he was a better fit. A key player on those prolific 2000s Colts offenses!
Y'all Dodge A bullet look how Ricky NFL career was
Edgerrin is an amazing man
Great story
Anything that has to do with Miami trick daddy always there!! Great episode!!
I finally got to hear Marvin Harrison speak! Off my bucket list.
Nah but really Edge never fell back. Even when hit in the backfield, he'd find a way to fall forward for at least 3-4 yards. He left money on the table by not conforming. Looking back on it, I appreciate his authenticity.
N my eyes and my opinion the best RB ever..I'm jus say'n
Close to it and that a fact.
One word. Consistency. I think he had 8 seasons with at least 1200 yards rushing and 12+ touchdowns. In a passing offense with a hall of fame qb and two hall of fame wide outs lol man I didn't know how good we had it as colts fans back then.
Those 2000s Colts offenses were among the greatest of all time!
E James was a damn work horse baby!!!! Bro could easily line up like a damn receiver and burn yo ass! I'm proud I got to watch EJ on Sundays!
My 4 favorite offensive players were Michael Vick, Edge James, Ocho Cinco, and Terrell Owens. Defense was Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Pat Tillman, Bryan Dawkins, and Rodney Harrison
I always think of those colts teams, I think of manning James and or Harrison
Edge was nice no weakness in his game could run catch block
The only thing that sucks is that he retired without ever winning a Super Bowl.
He good dude
Damn loved every second of it
Mannnnn.. tears of pride
Still crazy to think how the Rams traded the first round pick for Marshall Faulk in which the Colts used to draft James which means the Colts drafted 2 Hall of Fame running backs back to back remarkable
What a great man God bless Edge
My 2nd favorite rb ever. Great man more importantly 💯💯💪🏿💪🏿
Who’s your first? Jw
edge is the man
Very underrated due to playing with Peyton in that pass first offense. He was a dog at The U in that three headed monster of a backfield. Never will be anorher backfield that deep again.

Naples here...shout out Immokalee!!!
HE meant " SO MUCH " to the organization...however ~
Who’s the better UM Running back who was in the NFL. 🏈 E. James, Portis, Gore, McGahee???
Salute to the Edge ✌🏾
One more year as a Colt and he would’ve had a championship ring on his resume.
🎉
HOW DID HE GET INTO THE HOF BEFORE EDDIE GEORGE NO CAP
Eddie George had no where close to 12k yards rushing EG barely avg 4.0 per attempt
Need more guys like edge from da hood to play sports and in real life
SOLID✊🏿
Respect
Colts were too real for giving him a ring anyway
Legend
Feel good story!
Thats why Bill Polian is a Hall of Fame GM
he was a beast with payton maning starvin marvin harriason reggie wayne they was a team back in the day when football was good quick player the pats owned use
Those 2000s Colts offenses were among the greatest!
Good dude
Wheres Brendon rice , he deserves to play , we need him
Real deal FLAWDA BOI !!!!
Can you do the Edelman one ? Thank you.
That boy bad...meaning good.
Edge wats going on with you we don't know each other personally
Do Brian Urlacher
Just think if colts would've drafted Williams instead,or leaf instead of manning polian is a genius GoColts Forever
#Legend
Eazy Jeezy 🔥
HE meant " SO MUCH " to the organization...however ~ HE didn't mean enough
Murderin' Marvin Harrison talking about people havin' the wrong impression is funny! Why do you have him on this>. What about Dwight Dixon and his family?

I made it about 12 minutes and couldn't watch anymore... this guy's a tweener Hall-of-Famer and everyone talking like he's freaking Jim Brown...... 😢
One of 7 RBs with 3+ seasons of 2k yards from scrimmage.
Facts@@lnss8775
