10 Biggest Freaks of Nature In NFL History 

I'm glad this is the first comment I saw when I was about to bring him up. I'm always surprised he's not on list like this. He still holds records like Most Yards after being first touch and Most Yards after being hit Behind the line of scrimmage. Those two stats alone give you some idea what he would have done with an offensive line like what Emmitt Smith had. For me Hands down the Best Running Back Ever!!! Oh and I'm a HUGE Dallas Cowboy fan but I call them like I see em....

The fact that Barry Sanders is not on this list makes me wonder

Freakish legs. Oklahoma State’s leg press record at one time. Impossible to guard in space

His cuts were legendary the way he could just cut and change direction was amazing and his ability to fight off tackles trying to tackle him was like trying to catch a greeced pig

I come from a family of hard core Bears fans. My dad always said while he thinks Payton is the best overall running back, Barry Sanders was the best pure runner he’s ever seen

EXACTLY

Same with Mj he wasn’t a big of a freak like bo Jackson but he was crazy

Facts hard work and natural born talent is different as how jim thorpe did what he did with no training

I agree. He was amazing, and 1 of my favorites. His work ethic got him there completely. Nothing against anyone on the list.

@@svayjeetsingh903 no mj was def a freak. Dude had a 50 in vertical. Thats crazy

One of my all time favorites. It’s sad he paid the price for his run style in his old age. Dude was a monster.

Watching LT play was like watching those documentaries about lions hunting in the jungle.

Yeah he was unstoppable

I actually had him as a given on this last. Was anticipating no way they forget him.

Factsss

Exactly

Agreed Taylor was a freak!

Yessssurr

@The random Dude. Ok

@The random Dude He did a lot of coke

He did a lot of coke but that would have hurt his game if anything. He had unstoppable strength and there is no denying that.

And Sean Too

That run down was just freaking awesome. Larry was just standing there didn't know what was going on then he realized it and just took off like a 325lb rocket. Something I'll never forget.

Don Bebe's was better

my only caveat was it was at the height of the NFL-sponsored doping era of which the Cowsills were one of the major doping teams; either you have that kind of speed or you don’t; the fact he only did it once makes that play look highly suspect;

@@uniquegore1063 Bebe isnt a lineman

Whats even scarier is the linebacker Allen chased down was a track star and very fast…

👑 Henry

Yes as a ravens fan he will and that’s coming from a ravens fan keep in mind

Facts

@Damacio V Lamar is better all tho Mcscorly is a legend in music and football memes

@Aneesh Anand him too

I watched a documentary on Bo and they joked he could throw an apple through a screen door and make applesauce.

I was at a white sox game when Bo fielded a ball at the track and fired a bullseye easily throwing out a tagging player. Best arm ever!

Adrian Petersen getting hurt

What about Jim Brown

Based on his stats from just a few years, project that out to an entire career and he would’ve been the GOAT.

Him and Terrel Davis. Davis had a 2,000+ yard season and he missed 8 full quarters of play. Both make me legitimately sad.

Bo was still the best ever

Yeah, but the picture wasn’t Megatron

@@ligiabran5602 I think it was berricade

​@@ligiabran560281 is Calvin Johnson

Because he’s white be honest.

Cocaine is a helluva drug

He changed the game, the chop move to cause a QB to fumble he invented.

No cap

Fr

I love DK but being from the D at 6'5 240lb running a 4.35 40 1,927yds in a season its gonna be a while before the next Megatron comes thru

@@nickmiller48234 i mean yeah, Megatron was a 1 in a million and there will probably never be another like him with his talent,hight, and skill but dk has shown that he is good enough to make it. Give it a few years and dk will be up there if he keeps getting better and working for it.

Dk is shredded

As I recall, Carolina basketball team wasn't doing very well that year, until the football season ended and Peppers then devoted his efforts to basketball and actually led NC to the final 4 that year. I used to live in Sothern Pines NC and a huge ACC fan.

Ever heard of MJ?

@@chriswolf1089 True, but he was such an amazing athlete overall. Wasn't just randomly chosen for athlete of the decate when he was active

Larry Allen

Pelé

@@guilhermequintela7506 are you stupid

NO CAP FOOL

Barry Sanders is not a freak at all. He was undersized as hell. But he was more skilled than any other running back who have played in the NFL.

@@SoFantasticWonderful that’s exactly what makes him a freak of nature. Nobody was more gifted

4:42 I think you mean 2007 patriots not 2011

@@davidzellow1292 Lmmfao hell yea. If crack don’t affect anything you gotta e a demon or a freak of nature

He’s Moss without the flash. And I think Moss was slightly quicker and an inch taller?

JULIO IS JUST INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!

@@b_m3998 You're right. Also doesn't score touchdowns like Calvin did. I think Julio has had double digits TD seasons once maybe? Edit: He had 10 touchdowns in his second year. It's usually 6 to 8 he averages which is still really good and a yardage machine. Calvin caught 13 tds and lead the NFC in tds and had guys like Stanton, Orlovsky, and Culpeper the year we didn't win a single game. A stud then got Stafford the next season with the number one pick. I miss seeing Megatron doubled even triple coverage "Mossing" defensive backs.

@@darky8995 He's a beast.

@@b_m3998 Yeah you're right.

Especially after seeing him run down and prevent that pick six

@@austinhigley9295 I couldn't believe that when I saw that live

@@JulianWavy ikr

He should be on this list

Shredder

He's not in the baseball hall of fame

Thorpe wasn’t good in baseball

ረ

@@whayes8084 good enough to play professionally. And still the only person to win the decathlon and the pentathlon in the olympics, and he did it in the same games.

The Jim Thorpe Award..

One can't help but wonder what he would have accomplished barring injury. He truly was something to behold but LT was in his class. LT v Bo would be the greatest match of all time.

Nope Deon Sanders did it too!

Lies detected here

Deon Sanders.

Only because Deion played defense

Neither one did it the same day, but Deion is the only one in history to do it in the same week.

It’s criminal ANY player plays their entire career at Detroit!!!

Wasn’t Jim brown just bigger than everyone t that time. Was he really that great or just bigger for the time.

@@tonytiger8248 My dad swears by him also and my dad knows his stuff

Jim Brown was the NFL's Shaquille Oneal.

my favorite running back and running style of all time!

@@tonytiger8248 bigger and meaner.....the point of the video

barry was a true freak

Yeah, Vick could choke a dog out or kick it to death.

Yeah Vick had the speed of Deion, the quickness of Barry, and the arm strength of Elway. Truly freaky.

@@dfdfdgggjhjjh5081 He didn't have the Arm of Elway.

@@wisconsinman3590 Arm strength, yeah it was similar. Accuracy, Elway was a lot better. There's so many highlights from Vick with the commentators saying that ball looked like it was 100mph, etc.

God had NOTHING to do with his talent, period!

Me too.

I'm a UGA fan. If I remember right we were called for pass interference against him 3 or 4 times in one series. And we had an elite defense.

When he said Megatron and showed the picture of the transformer I’m like dang he really sounds like a transformer

Dropped the ball a LOT, but always open. LOL

Lawrence Taylor!!

@@Mozart1220 yeh I disagreed when they said he had soft hands im a lions fan and he dropped alot of balls early in his career had he had say cris carters hands he'd absolutely be the best wr of all time

As a Cowboys fan I remember one game where Martin Gramatica was wildly celebrating a made kick in a game the Cowboys were losing badly. Allen confronted Martin....grabbed his facemask...lifted him off the ground by the facemask...and shook him. I can't find the video but that moment stuck with me.

Reggie White was superman!

Why is everyone forgetting about Allen's teammate, Erik Williams, one of the best offensive tackles ever. he's just not mentioned at all and as a lifelong Cowboys fan, I don't get it.

Deon would have ran the other way if Earl Campbell was coming his way.. lol

Same with Larry Csonka and Franci Harris 😁

@@rodhester2166 Earl Campbell was...a Marshawn Lynch type runner(except with a tearaway Jersey). Derek Henry...but I don't think he could hit like Bo could. Bo had that FREAK speed, balance and was about the same size. Campbell didn't have that same speed/acceleration that Bo did. I'd guess just one on one, open field, Bo would come with more force than Earl Campbell. Campbell was the better all-time back(by a wide margin as Bo didn't play long). But in this ONE area...

@@scourge8097 different styles of running for sure, Bo 230lbs and Earl at 245lbs, Bo was faster but I think Early ran lower and could cut almost like a giant barry sanders.

😂😂😂

LOL

Stop hating

🤣☠️🤣

He was hand timed ! No human can run a sub 4.2 ! Its not possible

Yes the only down side was he competing against the best at that time

DK Metcalf is gonna be on this list soon

Agreed

For sure, Sanders could move like NO ONE before, since, or ever will. Freakish, that qualifies.

Absolutely right. Not sure if you ever seen him play, but he’s the guy no one could tackle. The Greatest RB ever.

Yea like Derrick Henry

Gronk

Bettis

"top 10" !!

Yeah! Like Kam Chancellor

🤷🏽‍♂️

Swear I was gonna say that lmao

Moss wasn’t even on the 2011 team

Yeah and Larry Allen didnt bench press over 700lbs

Yeah I noticed this as well

Yes

“Broken ACL”

Kevin Jacques u might wanna edit that “broken acl” to torn acl

Thought I was the only one who never forgot that 😄 this guy was pure freak of nature and still can do half of what use to do right now

@Brad Friday The doctor who did his ACL surgery said his knee looked like that of a teenager with no visible signs of wear. That would explain his running ability at his advanced age and yards.

Big AP

This list is an overall physical freak list, and Barry Sanders was NOT an overall physical freak, just his legs were freaks of nature!

I was like, "is someone going to tell him..." I'm glad someone did.

I swear I was confused for a second

I'm glad someone said it. Thought I was gonna have to bring it up

DK Metcalf is gonna be on this list soon

Went straight to the comments when I heard that!!!! I was like, wait what? Wasn’t that ‘07? 😂

Thank you, someone who notices

LMAO

I remember going to Clemson games as a kid and every year Calvin Johnson would just absolutely destroy them. As an 11 year old I could never figure out why he was always open lol

Calvin was insane, as a Lions fan seeing him comedown with the ball in double triple coverage frequently was crazy.

@@hemvp9532 He was the first guy to hit a home run off me at 7 years old....he did it with one hand on a low and outside pitch lol.... He did everything with ease and no effort

Ayeee I went to the game when Calvin Johnson broke the receiving yard record

I wouldnt say he was a athletic freak theres stories of him in the nfl trying to backpedal as part of a drill and constantly tripping over his feet before the coaches decided it didnt matter cause they didnt want him to run backwards anyway lmao, he was a beast though for sure

So would Jim Brown

who? who?

@@zatarasankofa7892 Earl Campbell is one of the best RBs of all time

@@uniquegore1063 Jim Brown could of been even better but gave up football for movies

The fact my name is Bo 😊

Oh cool

I'd say Lawrence Taylor should be on this list

"Bo Jackson..." OK, you can end it after the first entry. He's in a class all his own.

Walter Payton

killua Zoldyk coke

And sean taylor

@@Quinndan38 Sean Taylor had one good season

@@justthisguy1948 are u stupid? Every year he was in the league he was amazing, literally a freak of nature

yeah he ran a 4.50 at age 50 and reportedly ran a 4.09 at training camp

@@Quinndan38 no he wasn’t he just had some highlights of big hits but got smoked in coverage

Wrd

Henry is built like a DE and still has the ability to run like any other back. Every play is like that goal line gimmick where you hand off to a “big guy” to pound it in… only the big guy gets the ball in his own half and outruns the defense.

Christian McCaffrey... you want to go freaks? Henry is good, but ill talk CMC anyday over him

@@coryflynn6391 so back to back rushing titles mean nothing?

@@masonmartinez9579 oh it means plenty since a good Oline, and let's be honest 1500 yards isn't shit anymore. CMC had 1400 and another 1000 receiving. If it was back to back 2k seasons you may have had an argument. Sanders has a better argument.

@Charlie's Hairpiece why are u on a smear campaign?

@Charlie's Hairpiece bro what are you doing with your life?

I was thinking the same thing. I don’t know why I’m so bothered by this mistake.

Was looking for this comment!!

@@donniematthews6270 I'll tell you why. Bobby Bowden was a legend even before his passing. Great coach, better man. I was lucky enough to play for him in the 90s. He not only met, but exceeded all the hype. To mispronounce his name is not just an insult to the man, but to football itself.

Amen, Dominic. I commented and then just started scrolling to see if anyone else caught that. Totally surprised that no one else said anything.

He tried out for the Olympic bobsleigh team. He was not selected. There are children with black belts. Hershel is awesome at knocking up women

Lol...no, he lied about that

Lol....you forgot the Heisman

@@60zeller jealousy is an ugly thing.

Yo Deion really a savage for that 😂

Deion also said he hung up on a team owner too, I think it was the cards 😂😭

@@D1__Tee he really backed it up like nobody else

@@demonNthesn0w facts he really did

I love this. NFL teams, especially back then, treat players like livestock to be appraised. Love that prime said the hell with this i dont need u

Amen & Amen.

@@gfoursux9 While LT was great . This consisted of how athletes with superb speed or power

@@kaashifameer3583 yea but LT was fast for a OLB

@@kaashifameer3583 right bro this list isn’t even valid without L.T bruh is the definition of freakish!!!

@@kaashifameer3583 ... and that's why he belongs on the list!
