Terrell Davis' Hall of Fame Speech | 2017 Pro Football Hall of Fame | NFL 

Sterling Sharpe should be in it as well. Terrell and him both deserve it

Phyukk Urself He also had 2,655 yards and 23 total TDs in his first 2 years in the NFL and if you add up the 4 then he had 6,413 yards and 61 total TDs within his first 4 seasons. His run was legendary and Denver doesn't win either of those Super Bowls without him. He definitely deserves to be in the HOF

"...all he did that was hall of fame worthy." You said it yourself.

In his 2000 yard season, he was often pulled from games that were blowouts, he missed a total of 8 quarters, he rushed for 2,000 yards in 14 games.

TDs playoff numbers are far better than anyone else...ever.

A trick : you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

@Casey Myles definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)

@Casey Myles yup, I have been using flixzone for months myself :)

Facts

He shouldn’t he in the hof

ernest roybal shut up that ain’t true

It most certainly is true. Look at the stats. No one comes close

True. Dominant. Like Lawrence Taylor was for the Giants Defense. 👍 Denver Broncos ☝️

Him or Emmitt Smith.both great

LT was on drugs​@@lawrencedeherrera5342

DENVER BRONCOS HALL OF FAMER TERRELL DAVIS

DENVER BRONCOS HALL OF FAMER TERRELL DAVIS

TWO Broncos RBs enshrined in Canton. Only a few other teams can claim that.

bass reemer, Well, just for instance, among the RBs on your list (plus Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders), only Jim Brown, OJ and Barry Sanders had a better average per carry than TD, and only Barry, OJ and Dickerson got a 2000 yd season. Riggins and Csonka won Super Bowl MVPs, many of them won league MVP- but I think Emmitt Smith and TD are the only RBs to win both. TD had 60 TDs, averaged over 4.5 per carry, 90 per game, and still racked up over 7000 career yards despite his short career, only Jim Brown and Barry Sanders can boast ALL of those things. And TD's postseason numbers (often lost in the shuffle) are just bananas. He averaged 5.6 ypc, 131 ypg, 1.5 TDs in 8 games over 3 seasons. TD's career was short, but remarkable. When he was healthy, the top 3 RBs in the NFL were Barry, Emmitt, and TD. No ifs, ands, or buts. He is ABSOLUTELY a HoFer.

bass reemer, Well, if you just refuse to accept it, I guess that is what it is. But I've given you the numbers. He's certainly not the greatest RB ever, not even the best in the AFC West (that would be fellow inductee, LT). But is he worthy of enshrinement? Yes.

I agree. Had he not been pulled in some of those games he probably would've broken Eric Dickerson's single season rushing yards record.

I would argue he is a top 5 RB of all time... I know I have a policy that you have to have 10 years played to be on any all-time list, but this is going to be one of the few times that I fully give in to my bias.

Of course coming from Bronco fans. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Erikson/ /ESHighLights stats are numbers the eye test is the truth

Injuries

He'd be top 3 or best of ALL TIME if he kept healthy. I mean goddamn just look at his post season stats , he still leads in those categories today. Also his regular season yardage average would've been well over 2000-2500 per season and that's facts!

Chad Campbell your acting as if he just retired. Its already been a decade! I think you meant, "i miss Terrell Davis playing for the Denver Broncos".

Yea, the second Super Bowl and League MVP season in 1998-99 was essentially the end for TD. He got hurt early the next season and never really came back.

He should not be in honestly

@@The_king567 Traditionally, two kinds of guys get in.....those with really long careers, like Tom Brady or Emmitt Smith...or guys with short careers, but careers that nevertheless managed to stand out for some reason...Joe Namath was a great example, as was Roger Staubach. Davis fits into that second category. When you're a major part of an offense that claims back-to-back titles, you generally go to the Hall of Fame.

@@tgriffin3059 and that all wrong because you should have to been good to be in not just because you played a long time or played short that’s the problem

@@The_king567 When you're instrumental in bringing hardware to a franchise, that carries more weight than just putting up stats and going 8-8 every season...

@@tgriffin3059 that’s still not hof worthy

Leo Durocher I disagree. I think Barry Sanders and Walter Payton are the best rbs of the last 30 years.

You got your wish bro

Now put Mark Sanchez in!!

Randy Moss was a first ballot hall of famer, you do know that people have to wait a certain amount of time to get in? 😂

yea, u know how they are with WRs, he will get in evenually, but he may have to wait, Cause Moss is up next year

Yea, TO will certainly get in, and by all rites should already be in... But being a pain the ass will usually cost you a ballot or two lol

Frankly TO should have been first. TD along with Kurt Warner were borderline. TO is slam dunk material.

He’s in

Xavier Vega, Fair point, in fact TD is not even the most deserving Bronco- Randy Gradishar is. TD and Warner are certainly borderline picks that wouldn't have happened if they weren't both such likeable people. TO should've been first ballot, but he rubbed ALOT of people the wrong way. His credentials are undeniable, though. Top 5 all time WR in NFL history.

I'm glad he got that honour before he died. RIP Pat. Your legend lives on.

you're*

TG STFU

chill man, just a spelling error I corrected, no need for the anger I'm enjoying the speeches just like you.

Shannon Sharp said it outright in one of those NFL documentaries. TD help lift such a huge burden off of Elway's shoulders.

It was a great team. All the way around.

Nonsense. Elway was the greatest qb of all time. Terrell Davis was a good running back in a great situation...period. John Elway would be a household name playing in any era, for any team...he was THAT talented, and THAT great. Davis landed in the ideal spot, and took advantage of that. If you need any proof, look at what happened to Davis the year after Elway retired. They came out 0-4....And even after Davis faded, Denver continued to have one of the league's best running games. But there were no more deep postseason penetrations.

KC1996LFC Yeah, I saw him.

I *LOVE* how much Brady has struggled against the Broncos.

No sucka, real pats fans chant Brady, brady, brady. Haters chant cheater. Go take a long walk off a short pier loser

Jonathan Graf... at least he knew when to quit... it’s sad when people end up a shadow of their former selves, going through the motions and playing the game for pay checks only...

Stfu y'all always bringing up Zeke

Xong Lo who are you talkin about?

No doubt about it. Elway has zero wings without TD. TD has zero rings without Elway. Both are record-holding all-time greats.

Ok, in my opening line I stated that Elway was a first ballot HOFer without his rings, so I don't know why you thought that you had to tell me what I said. TD would not make it into the HOF without a ring? I was not disputing that. In fact, this was my point too. Because TD helped Elway get a ring that Marino and Tarkenton could not get was one of the reasons TD was voted in. Elway could not win before TD. Now, I wasn't comparing TD to Campbell, but its not like I couldn't. Earl Campbell is not head and shoulders above TD, even without the superbowls. SOoooo what you want to do Bass?

bass reemer, True, And there's no way the Broncos have those rings without TD. He didn't just get one, he was the MVP.

MVP doesn't stand for "helped contribute".

And I'M saying and PROVING that you are just being stubborn. I've given you his numbers and accomplishments- the only thing TD lacked was longevity. I didn't realize you were the Representative of "The Rest of the Fans" lol. If TD could get in from JUST support from the Mile High fans, he would've been first ballot lol- evidently at least a FEW others felt he deserved it. Im not saying TD is top 10, he's not. But you don't HAVE to be. There are 32 RBs in Canton now. So is he Top 30? Yes, yes he is. And in the late 90s, he was arguably THE BEST. Better than Barry, Emmitt, Bettis, Martin, etc. Maybe not overall for career numbers- but for his healthy years, TD was certainly right up there- if not at the top.

@mtrujillo1973 - That is great and all, but even Alex Gibbs has broken down a lot of film on Davis and his scheme. If TD great? Yeah, he was. He made things happen when he made mistakes. He bailed the team out when the blocks failed. All true. At the same time, there is a reason almost every top rushing team is one which uses the zone scheme and it has taken over football at all levels of play. The 49ers had over 2,300 team rushing yards with a stable of UDFA nobodies and practice squad cast offs. They also led the NFL in yards before first contact. Why? Great blocking in what was a mostly zone heavy scheme, though Kyle used far more power than he normally had in the past to mix it up and attack how defense play against zone. Davis is a direct benefactor of being the first Zone Run One Cut back. Not only was he able to make things happen with the ball in tight spaces, nobody had seen that scheme before and it had yet to be understood/explored/proven to work with cast off players like it has now. Davis himself was a late round pick and special teams body who almost gave up on football while in Japan for a preseason game. The system makes backs look like stars.

Gradishar should be next. Then Atwater.

To be blunt, both Atwater and Gradishar should have been in before Davis.

No

Remember how many games Davis won WITHOUT Elway that next season? I do....

No superbowl no 2000y no 142yr a game in play off no superbowl mvp

Alvin Frazier u right

mtrujillo1973 man was the only good Seahawks player at the time and that o line

Lol... I was thinking the same thing. This was 2017 I thought they got divorced in 2016 before I watched this guess I was wrong. But yep she secured the money for life.

Looks like ur opinion don't count 🤣

TD has a case, just not over Owens.

@mtrujillo1973 wow! So emotional. It’s true. Davis doesn’t deserve to be in the HOF. When you discuss great backs...his name NEVER comes into the convo. Period. Tiki Barber, Priest Holmes, and Corey Dillon should be pissed right about now.

Who!?

Vicente Mendoza Chubacca, star trooper, darthVader, Death Star, Han Solo
