Clint put on weight when he went to Wash to help him take a pounding & IMO, thats what shortened his career. He is one of my all time favorite Canes ever. []_[]
The U had a lot of good and great college and pro runningbacks. The U has put out a lot of great talented players. The U was not only Quarterback U, but could also be called Defensive Line U, Runningbacks U, Wide Receivers U, Tightend U Linebackers U, Defensive Backs U. They also produce some great kick returner in Devin Hester, Santana Moss, Daryl Jones, Kevin Williams and Randal Hill. Clinton Portis was a great college and NFL runningback. He should have been a #1 draft pick and if not for the injuries later in his career with the Washington Redskins, he would have been a NFL Hall of Famer. Edgerrin James, Clinton Porter and Willis McGahee did something that no other runningbacks from the same school did in the pros on the same year. All three of them rushed for over 1,000 yards rushing in the same year. I am very glad that Clinton went to the U instead of Florida.
Hes always been my favorite canes Rb with mcgahee a close second. His cuts and acceleration balance patience etc was so nasty which is why he transitioned into the NFL immediately
I've always loved this guy, played hard and much respect to him, and gave great years to the skins. But i keep goin back to that champ trade... smh still hate it
Another great vid...KEEP IT UP MAN! It's all about this U! Watching Portis tear it up in person at the Rose Bowl in 2001 was kick ass! Best football experience of my life...period. It's a Canes thing, and U WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
Portis is my favorite Miami runner. What he lacked in top end speed, he made up 100 times over in extreme agility, acceleration, field vision and most importantly, desire. Man played every down like it was his last. His yards after contact are insane, he stretches every play at least 5 more yards minimum. He was a HARD player to play against; the greats usually are.
@boing3887 Its his discipline and basics as a runner, he runs lower than any back you can name, you're right he cant stop on a dime like marshall or burn the entire team like Chris johnson but he's slippery, shifty and his vision sets him apart its his ability to remember what he's been taught in a game instead of throwing it all away like lets say an adrian peterson.
Had the best first 4 years of yards as anybody in a long time. I was young when he was in his prime but i thought he was gonna compete for the record there did a while. I know he smoked and he was injury prone after a while but CP26 had the best start toward touching Curtis Martin territory In a long time. Had he has the Tenacity of those before him I think he could have been top 5. Great start I wanna say 1350+ in his first 4 seasons
Great upload. I always thought that portis was kinduva weird runner - i could see that he was very very fast, but speed does not a good back make, and i couldn't figure out how he was getting all those yards. he doesn't have the rabbit-like jump-cuts of a barry, or the stop-on-a-dime moves of marshall. i finally figured out that he uses a lot of stutter steps and hesitation moves - but he almost never "jukes" in the normal way that most backs do. what do y'all think?
Sport is a manifestation of man, thus it is not to be worshiped at the extremes of emotion. Whether it is a positive or negative reaction, it matters not. There is virtually no difference between going to the extremes for sport and going to extremes for something like video games.
i been a miami since forever i am so glad he didnt go to florida yes that rite portis originally committed to florida but something happend so he choose the U...shows how much i follow the canes lol
thz guy was a beast.... clinton portis best years were wit the broncos he just went downhill wen he went 2 washington looks lyke we gt the better end of the deal wit bailey aha
N yea he was fast as shit but when he got to the league he became a more patient runner... He wasnt as fast, but he could accelerate when he had to tho
@KiDSprite12 dude it was florida you can find it on google where he said he wanted to go to florida smh where you get your information from??? wikipedia??? i get mine from the horses mouth
Joe Gibbs messed up his career. Treated him like a power back giving him the ball 400+ times per yr. Too much wear and tear shortened his career. Was still a great back though check his broncos highlights
God damn it, why do you have to torture me by posting a video about my all-time favorite Cane at the University of Miami with awesome footage and the worst music imaginable?

Portis had crazy speed and amazing vision...some nfl team sould give him a chance to finish a HOF career on a high note... #HTTR
Nastiest back early 2000's. Portis.
Incredible burst after the cut!
Portis had an INCREDIBLE cut!!! lesean mccoy reminds me of of a young portis

One of the best ever. PERIOD

Portis,McGahee,Gore in the 2001 roster holy shit
Prime Time Portis
Just awesome...Ball protection,speed,awareness...Love C.P. "The U".
My favorite RB of all time.
that guy was a beast at the U.
I've always loved this guy, played hard and much respect to him, and gave great years to the skins. But i keep goin back to that champ trade... smh still hate it
Lol still have my Redskins Clinton Portis Jersey. Not a skin's fan tho.
Same. Champ was my favorite player at the time lol. We got a good player in portis but Denver got a great for real lol
portis had an unreal cut
Thx for making these videos!! Ken Dorsey needs to be shown some luv now.. he was a HUGE part of all their success!!
All his cuts were so smooth.

He runs the way you're supposed to, with a low center of gravity
Super star runner. Extremely patient runner.
Now that's how you run the rock. Beautiful to watch.

He was a HARD player to play against; the greats usually are.
He did run a 4.35 at the combine. So he had that go button lol
Thanks I've been really enjoying these videos Canefreak2001.
greatest college team of all time and im not even a canes fan
Clinton reminded me so much of a stronger Warrick Dunn when he was at Miami.
Nah... nobody was strong like dunn... portis is just faster it looks like.
@@darkwingduck315 agreed Warrick Dunn was strong and had heart
I personally think portis was better and I had the pleasure of watching both play 🤷🏾♂️
Wasn't warrick Dunn fsu
Josh Jacobs Rookie Raiders RB reminds me of him

Beast!
what are those traffic cones on the field? never mind, that's the defense

Anyone else laugh their ass off at the rolling ref at 2:13?

portis wasnt the fastest but he had amazing vision n acceleration
i been a miami since forever i am so glad he didnt go to florida yes that rite portis originally committed to florida but something happend so he choose the U...shows how much i follow the canes lol
CaneFreak2001 is on MonStA mode this off Season , I willing to bet he’ll surpass RustyUM this up coming season.
Thats him
what an interesting counter point you have.
Bruh had that acceleration tho.
thz guy was a beast.... clinton portis best years were wit the broncos he just went downhill wen he went 2 washington looks lyke we gt the better end of the deal wit bailey aha
The highlight reel would be 2x longer if he didn't leave early.
This is The Other Real HOF RB The Shanahans Had.
N yea he was fast as shit but when he got to the league he became a more patient runner... He wasnt as fast, but he could accelerate when he had to tho
how tall was he
5'11
MIAMI []_[]!!!!!

@KiDSprite12 no it wasnt it was florida
Portis gets NORTH/SOUTH in a hurry
@KiDSprite12 dude it was florida you can find it on google where he said he wanted to go to florida smh where you get your information from??? wikipedia??? i get mine from the horses mouth

TheMovieDoctorful who was the qb at the time
@@ghostdeep2542 Ken dorsey
Gore>Portis>Mcgahee
Based on durability. Yes
Runs like a duck xD
He was good but McGahee was 2x better
