+Mike Marvel Yeah Ricky, Jamal Lewis, Edgerrin, Corey Dillon, even Ahman Green. I was trying to avoid listing like 20 guys, but it seemed like every team had a beast in the backfield.
The fact that he didn’t win the 2003 NFL MVP is a travesty. Set the record for TDs, had the most yards for scrimmage that year, and led KC to a 13-3 record. Absolutely outstanding
We lived in the San Diego market but were chiefs fans, so my dad took us to stadium pizza every Sunday that season when the chiefs game wasn’t airing. That was a good football season 😊
They absolutely robbed priest Holmes of the mvp. I can’t believe he didn’t win it in 2003, you’re 1000% on point when you said travesty! Disgusting from the NFL
Not taking anything away from The Priest but that O-line was more than just "stellar". Will Shields, Willie Roaf and Brian Waters are all Hall Of Famers.
Everyone knows Priest was a great runner, the o-line was great, but Tony Richardson at fullback often gets overlooked. The guy was an incredible reason for their success.
Best FB period. He would have been playing halfback for us but then we got Priest Holmes and T-Rich wanted to block for him... And the rest is Chiefs History.
Also overlooked was Jason Dunn the backup TE who was basically an extra O lineman, dude could take on any blocking assignments and knew he would win the battle. One the best toss sweep teams ever!
That Offensive Line was probably the best ever. That is not to take away from Holmes' talent. Running,, catching screens, pass protection, he was great at everything! To this day, I have still never seen anyone dive at the Goalline like Priest Holmes did. The way he hit holes and set up the next block after block was artistic even, a thing of beauty. That offense was incredible.
Priest was a damn beast doing those three seasons. I still remember those days like they were yesterday. I was a Broncos fan, best friend at the time was a Chiefs fan. Portis Vs Holmes in 2002 and 03 where some of the greatest games to watch.
Jim Johnson Thats because we ran them all into the ground lol. Every one of those dudes was a workhorse when they were on the team, Priest Holmes with back to back 20+ TD seasons and 300+ attempts 3 years straight, Larry Johnson had a season with 416 attempts and 336 the year before, and who can forget the year Jamaal lead the team in Yards and TDS in rushing and receiving lmao.
Priest Holmes was my favorite running back when he was playing, and maybe my favorite running back of all time. I always killed my friend in madden with him.
"Most productive" is such a hard thing to measure. Holmes had 6566 yards from scrimmage and 61 TDs in that three year run. Crazy impressive. Marshall Faulk had an overlapping three year run with 6765 yards from scrimmage and 59 TDs, on 149 fewer touches. If you want to value Holmes having more carries and more rushing yards in his three seasons, by all means, that's worth considering. But as the video touches on fantasy football value, Faulk's value was also sky high there. Worth mentioning that they both played in very similar offensive systems as well.
Lets not forget his 2004 season. Yes, he was out after 8 games but in those 8, he racked up almost 900 yards on the ground and 15 total TD's. He was on pace to get over 1,700 rushing yards and 30 TD's.
Yeeeeeees! He literally said his goal that season was to run for 2000 yards before it started. I thought that was crazy, he ain't that kind of RB. Then he was on pace to do it and thought "shit, the Matrix is real"
@@Cum007 Dude, he called it out before the season started and was doing it before he got injured. He literally said he was gonna rush for 2000 yards before the season start. Or rather, that was his goal. And he was doing it, this undrafted fuck that broke the rushing TD record, who played behind Ricky Williams in college and Jamal Lewis in the pros.
Take Adrian Peterson's best three seasons: 5,343 Yards || 41 Total Touchdowns Take Priest Holmes's best three seasons: 6,566 Yards || 61 Total Touchdowns .... Not saying Priest is better than AP because he's not, but Priest was still a great player that seems to be underrated
that early to mid 2000s period was a golden age for running backs. LT, Holmes, Alexander, Williams, Westbrook, Dunn, Tiki Barber etc made me fall in love with the position
Lets not forget about Big Tony Richardson the bulldozer he ran behind man oh man they don't make fullbacks like that anymore that dude was a brick wall.
Not taking anything away from Holmes...but he had one of the best offensive lines in history. Roaf, Shields, Weigman, Waters and Tait. One of the best blocking tight ends in Jason Dunn and one of the best blocking full backs in Tony Richardson. So yeah, just a phenomenal running game overall.
For those looking at the years he played, consider this. He missed all of 2006, did not even touch the ball in 1997 and in 2007 he only played in 4 games. What he did in the short time he played is simply amazing and I personally feel that he should've won a league MVP and should be in the Hall of Fame.
Christian Okoye, Marcus Allen, Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson, Jamaal Charles, and now Kareem Hunt (not to mention Kimble Anders, Tony Richardson, and now Anthony Sherman at FB)... KC has been very blessed at RB over the last 30 years.
Terrell Davis had 3 damn good years too. As well as Eric Dickerson. Dickerson had 1800 yards 3 of his first 4 years! Dickerson was incredible and 6 ft 3! LaDainian Tomlinson as well. One year he had 1600 rushing and caught 100 balls for over 700 yds. Another year had 28 TDs! He had two different 3 yr spans that were impressive! Emmitt Smith as well. With the exceptions of TDs, Barry Sanders flat out killed it rushing the ball. Its crazy cause the tough one running back era is long gone pretty much so we will never see those type of numbers again with multiple HOF backs
I’ll never forget the day Anthony came to my neighborhood- autumn ridge in SA TX. We would always roll out 2 basketball hoops In the middle of the road to play full court. A buddy asked if he could bring his friend over to play- of course. Anthony showed up, mind u he was playing a Marshall high school at the time. I heard and read about him all the time was fire then too. I ran home as a 12 old grabbed a football asked him to sign in it up. Still have the football! Just crazy meeting him before he went on to the Longhorns/ Ravens (SB champion)/ then to my favorite team the chiefs. Super nice guy when he was tearing up high school football. Decent a b ball as well. Could jump sky high
I was about to dispute the best 3 seasons thing with Eric Dickerson, but I just remembered that the 1985 season happened in between his run of 1800+ rushing yards a season from '83-'86
Best RB division of all time: AFC Central 1997-2001 Cincinnati- Corey Dillan Jacksonville- Fred Taylor Tennessee- Eddie George Baltimore- Priest Holmes + Jamal Lewis Pittsburgh- Jerome Bettis (Browns don’t count)
The cat was like Jim Brown in effectiveness. Numbers don't lie. The fact that Holmes was behind Ricky Williams at Texas, and that he had injury problems obscured how good he was. That goes to show how important luck is in life, and being in the right place.
I recall many times seeing Priest disappear in a crowd and then pop out and score. He was amazing but You have to admit ..He had One of The BEST O LINES in History
Jamal Lewis is one of the greatest college running backs of all time. If you wanted to stop rocky top, you had to tackle a well balanced bowling bowl that happened to run a 4.5
We also had one of the greatest lines of all time, seriously though, that O line doesn't get enough credit. When Brian waters gets over looked, it shows you how good they were. Even LJ was spectacular with that line
Emmitt's line was only good from 1990 to 1995, afterwards it went downhill with retirement, trading and injuries (Stepnoski traded to the Texans, Williams was injured with car accident, Newton and Tuinei were both in their mid-30s). If anything, Holmes line was even better but people don't remember than. Why, there the Cowboys. Even today this still happens. People say Zeke is overrated due to his line have 3 pro-bowlers even thought Bell and Murray have the same amount on their team.
+Samuel Robert only 3 guys i have seen that will have my props. Holmes, Charles and Barry. it took Emmitt 5 years to catch up to Barry. you do this kind of production in 3 years let alone undrafted, you have more talent than people think. Charles best ypc ever and Barry only played 10 years and made everyone look stupid
+Christopher Johnson please emmitt took 5 more years than barry sanders and barry made people look stupid. i only think of 3 backs that are elite. holmes, charles and Barry. charles has more ypc than anyone. thats during my time. as far as all time i didnt see much of others. emmitt i did see and he didnt impress me
I'm a long time Chiefs Fan and Priest was my favorite all time HB past or present, I really feel the same for Jamaal Charles who I believe might be on his way out of KC :(
RB is my FAV position. The toughest position to play as u virtually get hit EVERY play. There are so MANY great backs of whom are forgotten that had amazing careers. Holmes, Edgerin James, Corey Dillion, Fred Taylor, Frank Gore, Eddie George, Ricky Waters, Thomas Jones, Steven Jackson, Jamal Lewis, Ricky Williams (for other reasons). ALL of these men are far above 10K career rushing but NOT in the HOF smh
If Terrell Davis got in then he will definitely get in and more than that Shaun Alexander will get in as well Terrell Davis opened the door for so many other above average backs to get in
Holmes was unbelievable in that stretch. As good as Terrell Davis stretch or any other back. He should be in Hall of Fame. He didn’t have length of career but he was by far the top back in NFL with Faulk during that run & it’s not even close
you better recognize Priest Holmes. I'm glad fantasy football was mentioned here because he was on my team for two of those three spectacular seasons...and yet I still managed to lose my championship games. haha. Ahhh memories.
I’m going Emmitt from ‘94-‘96 as the best three year stretch ever from a RB….he had 62 TDS in that 3 year span and grabbed a ring in that stretch something that Priest didn’t do with an extremely loaded team almost as loaded as Emmitts Cowboys
I remember the exact game when the torch was passed in Kansas City. The Chiefs were facing the #2 ranked defense of the Atlanta Falcons. Priest Holmes ran for 4 TDs and then got hurt. Then Larry Johnson ran for another 4 TDs.
Let's not forget Eric Dickerson and what he did in his first 3 seasons as a running back. In 1983 he had 390 rushing attempts, 1808 rushing yards (rookie record) and 18 rushing TD's. 1984 he had 379 attempts, 2105 rushing yards (NFL record) and 14 rushing TD's. 1985 he had 292 rushing attempts, 1234 rushing yards and 12 TD's in 14 games.
If you ever played street 2 on the original Xbox or ps2 then you will never forget priest Holmes and getting your ass handed to you by the computer because of him. Dude was unreal in that game
Priest Holmes was such a beast after he won the super bowl ring in 2000 but in Kansas City he'd became even better for all the right reasons he wanted to be great and by damn he was greater he should be in the Hall Of Fame end of story
Don’t know what LaLa is talking about. Trent Green was always top five for QB’s during his time with the Chiefs. No good deed by a Chiefs QB (Green and Smith) goes unnoticed I guess.
When Al Saunders left the Chiefs, a lot of people were thinking the party was over with the offense. Why? I don't know but...Trent Green lamented that Al Saunders was a big loss, but the loss of particular player was much (MUCH MUCH) bigger that offseason. Over a nine-year span, this player blocked for 5 running backs for nine straight 1,000 yards seasons. He lead the Chiefs in rushing one year and out-played Ray Lewis so badly on national tv that Ray sat on the bench questioning life as the trainers tried to put him back together to go get his ass beat some more. Who was he? Hint: He's lined up in front of Priest on the majority of the plays on this highlight reel.
That KC OL during that era consisted of 3 HoF's: Willie Roaf, Brian Waters, Will Shields, 1 ProBowler: Casey Weigman, and 1 former first rd draft pick who was solid in his own right in John Tait. Also had the best run blocking Probowl FB in Tony Richardson and the best blocking TE in NFL history in Jason Dunn. Those aren't my words, those are Tony Gonzalez's words. Oh yeah he was on the team too, as was Dante Hall. Lots of firepower. People talk about Mahomes/Kelce, Hill now...these early 2000s teams would run them out of the stadium. It's really a damn shame those teams had some of worst defenses of all time. Remember how piss poor Chiefs D was first half of season and vs CIN? That was like every Sun back then. 32 Defense is what we called it.
between Priest, Shaun Alexander, Faulk and LT, the early 2000s were a great time to love running backs.
At Ricky Williams
+Mike Marvel Yeah Ricky, Jamal Lewis, Edgerrin, Corey Dillon, even Ahman Green. I was trying to avoid listing like 20 guys, but it seemed like every team had a beast in the backfield.
And Jerome Bettis
Brian Sager Fred Taylor
For some reason i didnt like shaun Alexander
The fact that he didn’t win the 2003 NFL MVP is a travesty. Set the record for TDs, had the most yards for scrimmage that year, and led KC to a 13-3 record. Absolutely outstanding

No doubt, he did it behind arguably the greatest O Line in history
priest holmes, fred taylor, corey dillion & curtis martin are the most underrated backs to play. oh yea & robert smith
+DeSean Jackson #jaccpot #0ne0fone #1hunna warrick dumn had the juice too
Curtis Martin is so underrated it's ridiculous. At least most acknowledge how good Holmes was without looking up stats first.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!
Not taking anything away from The Priest but that O-line was more than just "stellar". Will Shields, Willie Roaf and Brian Waters are all Hall Of Famers.
That line is universally considered to be one of the greatest lines of all time. Its definitely one of the best if not the best.
Totally agree. One of the reasons I believe Barry Sanders was a better RB than E. Smith as Smith ran behind one of the best olines in history.
You forgot Casey Wiegmann....! T.f. Came in after Late great Tim Grunhard..

Have you not seen Anthony Sherman? The Chiefs fullback? I mean, he's not Tony Richardson, but the dude's nickname is "The Shermanator"
I remember that reign he had. That was craziness watching him on Sundays.
that oline was godlike back then, with Trent green they were always either number 1 or 2 offense to the colts... but hes a bit underrated yes
Behind Will Shields and Willy Roaf, I could rush for 1,000 yards in a season. They would open HUGE gaps in the line.
Eddie George, Warrick Dunn, was underrated as well
Facts
Eddie George was Hall of Fane caliber
Not taking anything away from Holmes...but he had one of the best offensive lines in history. Roaf, Shields, Weigman, Waters and Tait. One of the best blocking tight ends in Jason Dunn and one of the best blocking full backs in Tony Richardson. So yeah, just a phenomenal running game overall.

I remember the exact game when the torch was passed in Kansas City. The Chiefs were facing the #2 ranked defense of the Atlanta Falcons. Priest Holmes ran for 4 TDs and then got hurt. Then Larry Johnson ran for another 4 TDs.
I thought Derrick Blaylock was the other RB that got 4TDs in the Falcons game
It was Blaylock who did, it was one of two great games that Blaylock ever played.
I was at the game where he won the record. 8 touchdowns against Vick during his best year.
Priest was so good, wish he never got injured
Let's not forget Eric Dickerson and what he did in his first 3 seasons as a running back. In 1983 he had 390 rushing attempts, 1808 rushing yards (rookie record) and 18 rushing TD's. 1984 he had 379 attempts, 2105 rushing yards (NFL record) and 14 rushing TD's. 1985 he had 292 rushing attempts, 1234 rushing yards and 12 TD's in 14 games.
I've been saying this for years lol. He's so underappreciated. Him and Fred Taylor. #Giants4Life #Knicks4Life #BuckeyesForLife
If you ever played street 2 on the original Xbox or ps2 then you will never forget priest Holmes and getting your ass handed to you by the computer because of him. Dude was unreal in that game
Fucking legend. I was a 99 baby so hes kinda before my day.. I know dad was a big fan of him
This man is a beast
Priest Holmes was such a beast after he won the super bowl ring in 2000 but in Kansas City he'd became even better for all the right reasons he wanted to be great and by damn he was greater he should be in the Hall Of Fame end of story
One of my fav rbs of all time and I’m a skins fan #httr
I remember those chief teams we're so fun to watch with tony G and a fun blitzing defense. If only they got a good QB
Don’t know what LaLa is talking about. Trent Green was always top five for QB’s during his time with the Chiefs. No good deed by a Chiefs QB (Green and Smith) goes unnoticed I guess.
Priest Holmes was amazing 🥲
When Al Saunders left the Chiefs, a lot of people were thinking the party was over with the offense. Why? I don't know but...Trent Green lamented that Al Saunders was a big loss, but the loss of particular player was much (MUCH MUCH) bigger that offseason. Over a nine-year span, this player blocked for 5 running backs for nine straight 1,000 yards seasons. He lead the Chiefs in rushing one year and out-played Ray Lewis so badly on national tv that Ray sat on the bench questioning life as the trainers tried to put him back together to go get his ass beat some more. Who was he? Hint: He's lined up in front of Priest on the majority of the plays on this highlight reel.
Never knew this about Holmes!
Love Priest!
That KC OL during that era consisted of 3 HoF's: Willie Roaf, Brian Waters, Will Shields, 1 ProBowler: Casey Weigman, and 1 former first rd draft pick who was solid in his own right in John Tait. Also had the best run blocking Probowl FB in Tony Richardson and the best blocking TE in NFL history in Jason Dunn. Those aren't my words, those are Tony Gonzalez's words. Oh yeah he was on the team too, as was Dante Hall. Lots of firepower. People talk about Mahomes/Kelce, Hill now...these early 2000s teams would run them out of the stadium.
It's really a damn shame those teams had some of worst defenses of all time. Remember how piss poor Chiefs D was first half of season and vs CIN? That was like every Sun back then. 32 Defense is what we called it.
Fav player growing up...HOW BOUT THOSE CHIIIIIIEFSSS
