Eric Dickerson Highlights (Final Version) 

Lot of people always gave proper props to his speed and slick as oil running style but Ole 29 had some power to.

He always ran so pretty it looked effortless and great

Dickerson was the sweetest back of all time. Use to love to watch him run. One of the all time best.

You can get mesmerized watching Dickerson's sprint style of running. Arms move on torso in perfect timing, long strides and he could take a hit with little problem. The man just glides upright and his level drops in traffic. Art in motion. Awesome back....

We used to hold our breath when Dickerson got the ball,he could take it all the way in a heartbeat

He ran like a horse 🐎 Literally the beautiful stride I've ever seen in my life

My all time favorite player. I remember meeting him in Lakeland Fl. He was hosting the Miss teen USA paegent at the Lakeland civic center . I was just a young kid . He came out the front door and was surrounded by security guards . I wanted to get his rookie card autographed . I walked over to him and his security guards stopped me and said he was in a hurry to another engagement . All of a sudden Mr Dickerson yelled hey let him through. The security guard walked over with me and i remember him saying to the guard " I know your doing you job but , I ALWAYS HAVE TIME FOR MY FANS ." He got down on one knee and asked me if he could sign something and i handed him the card . He smiled and signed it and said always work hard for what you want and you will get it . I thanked him and he said have a good day kid . I still have that football card in a plastic holder . Its probably quite valuable now . Its priceless to me . What a really great guy .

Eric the Great. Best ever in my opinion. Such a rare blend of size, speed and power. Teams knew he was getting 25-30 carries per but he still tore it up

Eric Dickerson was blessed with great size quick feet and great cutback ability and timing very underrated. 👍🏈

Its beyond me how a guy could glide while running. Make it make sense??? Vastly underrated, but not forgotten by those who saw him.

My favorite player of all time, Dude was so fast he had to take a step back to time the hand off

Eric Dickerson is why I played football growing up!

Eric was a big boy fast great vision strong as hell.. he played in an Era of pro ball 70s 80s 90s were it was a brutal hard hiting league hes one of the greats for sure.

Loved this man as a kid. I live in the UK and grew up in the 80's oving Amerian Football. The Rams where my favourite team and still are. I even wrote to the Rams and got a signed picture sent from this legend... and I just said it there... Eric Dickerson is A LEGEND!!

You know looking at this video reminds me Eric Dickerson was one of the top 5 backs in history. He’s often forgotten but what a great runner. Class personified.

So underrated. This guy deserves much more credit. One of the best to ever do it.

I remember defenders would bounce off of Dickerson. He was hard to tackle, because of that upright high knee style. In my opinion, Dickerson was the best ever.

Frank Gifford and the others were trying to describe Eric Dickerson’s running style on Monday Night Football. O. J. Simpson said, “he run so pretty”. That toss sweep was his bread and butter, he would cut and hit the hole so quickly. Gone!!!!!

Attended Rams games with my dad from '78 to '92. In the '80s, even during losing seasons, the crowds still attended just to watch Dickerson's epic runs. He was the show.

He really made it look effortless when he got past the last line of defense. Eric is one of the greatest pure runners of all time.

When I was 7, he and other players visited my hometown of El Paso, Tx. for a fishing event. My parents took me with the hopes of just seeing him from afar and wave to him. As we were eating, I see this giant approach me and it was him. I was frozen, should I wave, should I not bother him, what do I do. I was decked out in all Rams Merch and was hoping maybe he would see me…next thing I know, he calls out my name and comes up to me to shake my hand. My parents had pulled strings to make sure he would meet me. He stuck around and sat with my parents, the respect he showed my mom and dad showed me that my parents were my real heros. I had a million questions but I was too shocked by the whole thing. He was humble, gracious, engaging, fun… I walked away with photos and signed Merch. I wish I could thank him because I realized, later in life, that I admired him because of his grace and ability to do things different, to do things in your own way and still succeed with humility and honesty. I grew up with ADHD and Autism and I always remembered “What would Eric Dickerson do?” Thank Mr. Dickerson, I hope you see this.

fun fact: Eric Dickerson is one of three RB's to have a 4 yd average for 10 straight seasons - the other two: Barry Sanders and Frank Gore

My favorite player ever is Walter Payton. My 2 favorite running backs to watch ever are Barry Sanders and Eric Dickerson. Those 2 did things that just made your jaw drop. Barry could stop and start like nobody had ever seen. Was strong as a ox and fast. Eric was poetry in motion. Never saw a RB hit a hole like he did and be past the safeties as fast as he did. He looked like Michael Johnson ( the sprinter) running a football.

My favorite all time player, unbelievable player who did more than others especially for his size, nobody will ever top what he did especially his first 2 seasons

Damn, I’d forgotten how tall he was and how high he ran-he looked like a stallion out there!

Happy 61st Birthday Eric the most fluid runner I have ever seen on the grid. It was a pleasure to watch you play. Excellent compiled video

Between the great Walter Payton and Eric Dickerson, two of my two favorite running backs hand down.👍

The most beautiful runner i ever saw. Dickerson was so smooth. He looked effortless in the stride and so his speed looked effortless. Watch all the people flailing and falling trying to catch him. When he hit full speed in 2 or 3 strides, everyone else moved backwards.

What astounds me in 2023 is that Eric's records still stand. There have been so many great backs since Eric. The man wasn't like Barry. He didn't avoid contact.

Saw him tonight at a restaurant and had to find a highlight reel to watch. He was incredible!

A monster among boys, and I was never a fan. But I respect and admire his greatness.

Fortunate to grow up in the 80’s and be able to watch Dickerson and Payton. Have to say I had the pleasure to meet Eric. I’m 6-4 and he was taller than me.

His high knee steps and his upright running posture was so unique! And yes he was deceptively fast!

One of the all-time greats. I loved watching him run.

Absolutely a MUSTANG ⭐️Eric ran beautiful 💪⚡️ I’m now 59 and remember when ✊Eric’s first 4 seasons almost ran for 7,000 yards 😳 his first 2 seasons will never be matched ⚡️

Derrick Henry reminds me so much of him. Tall and muscular with an upright running style. Bit of a forward lean behind the line of scrimmage. Absolutely bruising physicality. Built like a linebacker with the speed of a defensive back. Freak of nature.

GreAt feet, some of the best ever. The line about no wasted motion really applies perfectly to his style. He cut once or twice to daylight, then see you later….

Youngsters nowadays have absolutely no idea how great this dude was, he rarely gets the recognition he rightfully deserves, his numbers are absolutely ridiculous, especially what he did early in his career.

He had an easy stride, even full speed

Dickerson was unreal. He made it look easy.

Dickerson, Payton, Csonka, Sanders , Dorsett and Bo Jackson. My favorite runners of all time

GREATEST RUNNING BACK OF ALL TIME. THE GOAT...

One of the greatest in this era.. And possibly of all time

He almost leaning back when he runs. Man, I remember this guy when I was a kid. Any time, any place, he was gone.

Damn I loved the way he ran the football 🏈

Eric was a joy to watch in high school, college, and at the pro level. Crazy how he barely gets mentioned these days among the great running backs of all time.

Those were the days as a Rams fan, along with 1999-2000 season of course! I just wish the Rams had a real QB when Dickerson was there, they could have been the first greatest show on turf! They almost beat the '85 bears in the NFC championship game, considered by many to be the best defense of all time. But Dieter Brock coming from the CFL couldn't quite cut it allowing "Da-Bears" to concentrate on stopping 'The big Dick" which along with the -15 degree temperature in Chicago made it almost impossible for the Rams and Dickerson to run most of their usual plays! Jackie Slater (another Ram and NFL HOF player)deserves a shout out (along with the rest of their O-line) for his years (19, all with the Rams!) as an offensive tackle, blocking for many different backs including Dickerson in his record breaking rookie season and his record setting second. Good memories!

My crew used to call him. “Roboback”. Machine precision and efficiency. Never wasted a step.

One of the greatest running backs in NFL history. Coming from a small town like the rest of us. God Bless him!

I'm 55, I saw his incredible rookie year and 2nd year. Only 3 players in my life have left me in awwwww. Marino, Dickerson, and Deion.

Eric is the MAN! As long as they had Eric the Rams could carless who the QB was.

Always thought Dickerson had best running form of all the greatest running backs of all time. He ran with a football in one hand and as though he had a baton in the other. Like the commentators say, even though he didn't have that low center of gravity like Smith and Sanders who could juke taller players more easily, Dickerson could fake out shorter players then run like he was bringing in the final hundred meters of the sprint relay.

Dickerson was at his peak just a few years after Channel 4 first started showing football to UK audiences, so we on this side of the pond have particularly strong memories of him, as he was the first true all-time great running back whose career we saw in its entirety. What a player. He had everything - speed, size, agility, and was waaaay tougher than he was ever given credit for. Second only to Sanders in my personal all-time list. Legend.

Eric Dickinson, one of the best old school running backs ever. Who ever started saying the running back position is not important, should watch this video. I'll never forget the comment he made, I quote, he said he lost money going to the nfl. That says it all. Truly a old school G.

Smooth + talent + speed equals GREATNESS!!! Absolutely loved seeing the phenomenon play!!!!!!!

Living in the DFW area,watched him collegiately at SMU! One of the top 10 backs ever. For a man his size and could run as fast as he could! He was the real deal

If he would have remained with the Rams his entire career we can only imagine what records he would have obtained 😮

Best running back in my lifetime, and I've been on this rock for about 60 years.

One of my All time favorite backs to watch. He ran like a thoroughbread while gliding like a gazelle.

Eric Dickerson is highly one of the greatest running backs in all-time. He was known for breaking the NFL record for most rushing yards in a season with 2,105

Dickerson was my all time favorite RB to watch. Sweetness was a close second.

As an 8th grader, i seen him in Atlanta and i was shocked at how big he was. That was a reality as a kid that i was witnessing greatness. Pony express in action.

Poetry in motion when he had the ball!

The prettiest runner of all-time.

I saw Dickerson in his NFL prime as a season ticket holder and he was amazing! It all seemed so effortless and at halftime he would have 60 yards and at the end of the game he would run for 200+. There was an El Torito restaurant near the stadium and the Rams players would be there before any fan could get there.

When we talk about all-time great RBs, he is often not in the conversation. Man, it was awesome growing up in Socal in the 1980s and watching him play with the Rams.

ED, best all around back ever! Should have been used more on screens and in the flat, after catching the ball, he would have broken every record!

My brother and I played football because of this man.

He was fun to watch

My brother went to SMU. Dick fresh year they switched from Cotton Bowl to TX Stadium. Dick wasn't starting at first. It was Charles Waggner and Craig James. CW broke a couple bones in his neck on a kickoff return against UT. Then Dick got his chance. The rest is history !!!!!!!!!

He was so smooth and efficient, he DID look like he wasn’t running fast! LOL! And he had a burst of speed and he had power!

Electrifying Eric Dickerson was incredibly excellent

There was only one bust I took a picture next to when I went to the Hall of Fame, it was Eric Dickerson. I was so broken up when he left and went to the Colts.

Without a Doubt one the Greatest and most forgotten Running Back of All Time. Eric was Sooooo Smooth , My favorite childhood Back ! #29 The Goat

He had it all. Speed, power, agility and good hands. Goat

I love his running style the 1st day I saw him with the ball.nov2021.

I have always been a Bears fan but Campbell and Dickerson are the best two running backs I have seen. If forced to choose, Dickerson.

I remember as a young BYU fan...watching the "Miracle Bowl" between BYU and SMU. BYU ended up winning the game at the very end with a Hail Mary from Jim McMahon. But Eric Dickerson just had his way with the BYU defense all game long. And it was true. He didn't "look that fast". So I couldn't understand how they couldn't tackle him. But when I saw it continue into the NFL...I understood he was that fast and that good. He was just toying with the BYU defenders.

My favorite player as well with Barry being 1B; Eric still looks 28 years old!

The numbers he put up as a rookie and then the following year, to break the record? ReDickerson!

As a Cowboy fan, I remember watching how Dickerson ran roughshod all over the Cowboys in the 1985-86 NFL playoffs.

The greatest RB in Rams history. One of the very best ever!

E! D! Have u ever heard of a back to run over 1,000 yds and receive over 1,000 yds in the same season 4 times in his career? Faulk that thang!!

The Pony Express was his nickname in college. Truly one of the greatest all time.

Eric was amazing. During his 1983 rookie and 1984 2105 year. He ran behind one of my favorite OL's in NFL history. It had 4 pro bowlers on it and another that should've been (Irv Pankey) 7 time Pro bowler RT Jackie Slater. 5 time Pro bowler LG Kent Hill, 6 time Pro bowler C Doug Smith, 6 time Pro bowler RG Dennis Harrah, RT Irv Pankey played 12 seasons. LT Bill Bain played 10 seasons.

As a kid, I was so upset when I heard that the Rams traded him away. WTH ?

He reminds me of another great, O.J. Simpson , same style.

No doubt, my favourite running back of all time! I could watch him all day! Nobody else ran like him! Marcus might have been the closest!

Love it when videos just abruptly cut off. Bonus points for it happening mid-word. Edit: Dickerson was a true unicorn. Plus he had likely the greatest accessories package in NFL history.

In Indy, I'll never forget the first time I heard we got him in a trade to the Colts, when I saw the Sunday morning newspaper with a HUGE headline. I was shocked and ecstatic. For the first time since coming to Indy from Baltimore, we instantly went from laughing stock to legitimate because of one guy!

Didn’t see JB, Saw Barry, Walter, Emmitt, LT, Faulk, ED is the best I’ve EVER seen. Good Nite!!!

The 3 most exciting words in the history of Ram football- "pitch to Dickerson".

Best running back ever period!

Racquetball goggles…. Horseshoe neck brace . That’s how I remember Dickerson. 💪🔥

How have i never heard of this guy? Averaged 100 yards per game in 7 seasons??? Holy cow. Talk about a security blanket

Eric Dickerson was something special

One player I enjoyed to watch in my day.

Congrats, you got a hold of some old 80s NFL videos, that most of us saw decades ago. Good for you.

Smooth

That stride is beautiful to watch
