I had the pleasure of seeing this man play up close and he was unstoppable. I never saw another player handle him.
THIS is one of the players from the 60's who could be a star in TODAY'S NFL too.....guy was that good.
He wouldn’t be allowed to wear #81
@Sam Houston Roger Badell
He was underrated as a DE in history as was Carl Eller.
im to young to have seen him play, but this is my favorite player ever. thank you Doug Atkins.
For people who don't know him he's like a J.J. Watt but twice as better
yes along with Deacon Jones &Richard Dent
JJ Watt, but a more athletic version of Watt. Watt does not a the 40" vertical it would take to HJ 6'7" using the scissors method.
And larger
My dad is from the same small town
Yet he has no Legend card in MUT, EA get your shit together
What a great player Doug Atkins was. He was awful fun to watch. He crunched my Cowboys plenty...
as he did EVERY team. God bless our NFL heroes from a bygone era.
R.I.P. Doug Atkins... from little Humboldt, Tennessee🏈🎻
R.I.P DOUG ATKINS 1930-2015
R.I.P DOUG ATKINS 1930-2015
Doug Atkins was a true Monster of the Midway.
I was at his last game. 12 years old. The refs did a bad call against the Steelers. I believe it was because it was Doug's last game. After the game there was a retirement ceremony in the middle of the field. He may not of known it because he was walking towards the locker room talking to a Steeler or 2. The Steeler player he was talking to told him they had the ceremony. Then he walked to the middle of the field.
I went to 5 games that year. Tickets were 2.50 youth. 5.00 adult. Me and my 2 brothers would get the players autographs when they were nearing the locker room. Doug Atkins was always 1st in the locker room. I'm 5.2 now. Probably around 4.2 then. I came up to his waist.
That year we also saw Atlanta, San Francisco. Cleveland, and Washington with Vince Lombardi as coach.
After the Washington game we hung out after the game. Saw the Redskins on the bus. Some fans talking to the players on the bus. Asking where Sonny Jurgensen was because he wasn't on the bus.
It was so enjoyable when the Saints played at Tulane Stadium.
R.I.P. Doug Atkiins
GOAT. Rest in Peace Mr. Atkins.
Maxx Crosby brought me here! #RaiderNation
One of the greatest of all time at UT, in college football, in the NFL, wherever you want to put him. The "Peyton Manning" of his time. RIP.
This guy was the greatest ever at Tennessee..not peyton
R.I.P Doug Atkins
We will miss you Doug Atkins
The Bears won the division title and world championship in 1963.
When was the other?
Atkins and Marchetti where the best old school pre rule change DE then Deacon.
it's good looking back before I was even born
I know but my dad was alive at this time
one of the best
Great player and intimidator. He said one QB he couldn't intimidate was the great Sonny Jurgensen.
00:59 would love to of seen the Jimmy Taylor tackle!!
He signed with Cleveland out of college and got a signing bonus of 12 pabst blue ribbon beers and a dozen do nuts..
R.I.P
Imagine him in madden 16...95 jumping, 85 speed, 90 acc, 99 strength, 93 block shedding
Zach Schott 99 everything
17 years of great size, strength, and aggressiveness; a worthy HOF member...
knowone is Superman
Is the NFL films video comparing him to a storm with the saying "you just pray he doesn't take the roof" anywhere on here?
If they counted sacks back then this guy would easily hold the record by a long shot
Straight out of HUMBOLDT TN!
William Morin
Beautiful Humboldt, Tn👍🎻
Too bad things like Sacks weren't counted in that era. You don't see guys like him nowadays, one cool highlight play after the other. Somehow the 60s and 70s Nfl had a little more magic with iconic players. Not todays community of murderers, wife beaters and drug abusers.
+Stoertebeker ! All that sort of stuff used to happen, it just never got out. John Niland wigged out on acid when he was playing with the Cowboys. Big Daddy Lipscomb died of an OD. I worked with a woman who used to work with the wife of a member of the NFL All-70's team, she'd regularly show up with black eyes and such after the local team lost. Jim Tyrer and OJ both killed their wives. Even a lot of the great stories about Doug Atkins have to do with his prodigious consumption of alcohol. Not saying it's right, just that there never were any "good old days"
@@Mrx-ux4nu Much needed commentary, some of the ones who spout about the good old days need to do some reading, ie, Pete Gent's "North Dallas Forty"
Mr x
Your knowledge & history of pro football is obviously correct and admirable, but domestic violence from NFL players back then was the exception. These current crop of criminals live it almost DAILY.🏈
@@t4texastomjohnnycat978 Stats. Give them.
Odd that the Bears haven't retired his number.
BillVol The Saints retired his number
Had a feud w/ poppa bear Hallas.
Died a very poor man.had he played in today's game he'd be a rich man for generations.
Even the biggest n tallest best looking guys go out the same way we all do
Poor Grady Altermann! Having to play Doug Atkins was enough to give anyone nightmares! Getting thrown end over end like that is not how you want to be remembered all your life.
Cornell Green
and Mr. Alderman was damned good, too. I certainly would have dreaded facing Doug Atkins.🏈
Imagine when him and Butkus were in the same team. Do you think the other teams offense had nightmares the night before the game?
Atkins was the best and I know he's breaking bart star's neck in eternity.
So there was a Jj Watt in the past... but better
Damn look how rought football used to be 😕
John Fix
Fattasses nowadays. And druggies.
@John Fix it’s not
I'm a pats fan and I think he was a great player
I really don't know what the big deal is. He was way bigger than everyone else so obviously he's going to dominate.
It's a shame that guys from that Era couldn't play today's game. Too many rule changes that make it impossible for them to play the way they did.
Bill Beliakoff
??? IMO, just about ANY player from the 1960s & 1970s could play... and OUTPLAY... these fattasses of today.🏈
Recast in Piece Doug Bears nation is going to miss you I hope you can sack quarterbacks in heaven 😰😭
Doug Atkins > Every Packer Player
RIP Doug Atkin
wrong packers suck
minecraftwar They sure do
+RedX165 U wish they sucked.
+Nick Green
They do don't deny it
+Jake F The only thing I deny is if u really know anything about football
Why in THE hell would bears trade him ?
An American
As usual, a team thinks that a player's best years are behind him... and in the Bears defense, he HAD been playing for 14 seasons.
He had 3 more very productive seasons with the Saints obviously.
What a player he was.🏈
He requested a trade
He and my grandfather were high school classmates and lifelong friends. I have a few stories about the man.
My father was at college, and when he came home for break, he found that the toilet seat in his parents’ home had been replaced because it hadn’t been designed for men Doug’s size, and it shattered beneath him.
I met him once, at my grandfather’s funeral. He was a Goliath of a man, even at the time. Biggest person I had ever met to that point.
My grandfather was the football star in high school, while Atkins starred in other sports. Grandpa didn’t go to college, but Atkins did. They went on totally different paths.
Give him a Mut 16 card!!!!!
He also created the Atkins diet yep yep
G nation
man i can block him
+RG3 #SMOKINGTHAT3 #10hunnit #rg3block RIP MAN HE JUST DIED TODAY
