This was my old track coach from Seatown Express (his hand picked squad) I remember always knowing that he played in the NFL but he was so humble and never spoke about how good he was. I was about 12-13 at the time and never really took the time to look into it until now.. he used to be like “yeah I was alright” .. no coach, you were fckn nasty 😷 🔥 17k all- purpose yards and 55 TDs.. how is he not HOF?!

@markz2631 2 года назад

Did you show this video to any of your old track teammates?

@r.williamcomm7693 2 месяца назад

Wow. Metcalf was one of my very favorite NFL players & that’s coming from a Steelers fan! He beat us yet he was always acted classy & even fans from the other teams liked him. He did some things on a football field, made some moves & jukes, that were amazing. Lance Alworth was called “Bambi” but Eric Metcalf should’ve been called “Gazelle.” Can’t say enough about him.

Metcalf should be in the HOF. So should Brian Mitchell, but the NFL has such an absurd bias against special teams players.

@LordBarros 5 лет назад

Bill Tasker, Chris Warren to name a couple more from the Era.

@TheStapleGunKid 5 лет назад

Mitchell is the main one though. His return stats are like Jerry Rice's receiving numbers. Yet for some reason whenever there is a list of top players not yet in the hall of fame, he never gets mentioned.

@notaliberalnotatrumptardju331 5 лет назад

Brian Mitchell and Metcalf both deserve to be in the HOF.

@Chrisiamtheluciddream 5 лет назад

Definitely should be in the HoF.

@tempest20000 5 лет назад

Return men and special teamers are really screwed over by the HOF. Metcalf, Mitchell and Steve Tasker all deserve it. It’s total BS.

@lunaticfringe896 Год назад

If I could run like any NFL player ever, Eric Metcalf would be near the top of the list. Just a beautiful and extremely fast. One of the most graceful runners ever. And don’t forget just how great his receiving ability was. He was solid as hell with Atlanta. Watching this makes me nostalgic, despite being a Steeler fan. What a player

@millardthomas9059 Год назад

Sooo underrated. He was a combination of Marshall Faulk and Darren Sproles. He was ahead of his time. They quite didn't know what to do with weapons like that back then. One of the most talented players I have ever seen.

@btragedy 5 лет назад

Besides Vince Young/Earl Campbell Eric Metcalf was my all time favorite player in a longhorn’s uniform this guy was special in College and in the Pro’s. This man should be in the Pro Football HOF for his All purpose yards/on offense/special team/ Metcalf was a football player.

@HatManCS 5 лет назад

Wow this guy was great! Never knew he was a charger either. And his dad was amazing too!

@aaronbradley3232 5 лет назад

Yes his dad was a better player than he was he put up better numbers over shorter. Of time by far and drove the team to the playoffs

@HatManCS 5 лет назад

Definitely. Averaging over 2,000 all-purpose yards over 5 seasons is ridiculous, especially in that era.

@raymondsmith8027 5 лет назад

Metcalf was a beast. I always thought that Atlanta in “95” used him in a way that unleashed his full potential. Imagine him in some of the high octane offenses of today or the last 10 yrs. Look at the film......his cutback and juke game was Lesean McCoy-like.

The thing about the Browns & Metcalf was we were using him the wrong way and he still produced, if we had him as a slot receiver he would be in t hff e hof already. He was definitely worth the price of admission.

I was at the 1993 game against Pittsburg. When he ran that 2nd punt back I thought the stadium was going to come down.

@johnleeson6946 Год назад

Me too! Section 58 in the Dawg Pound. He scored on the other side of the endzone. I almost passed out... Bernie came in for an injured Testaverde. We figured Kosar would rally the Browns for a victory, but Eric had other ideas. Pittsburgh had time left, though. They fumbled and Cleveland recovered to seal the victory. Belichick tried to run him between the tackles. Bad move. So Bill got rid of him and Kosar. You won't find a REAL Browns fan who likes Belichick... Met Eric once and he was very humble. Great player and a great person!

Cleveland made the stupid mistake of using Eric as rb and returner only . He always had great hands, the moves to lose defenders leaping ability, and his great speed and running moves after catching the ball . He was finally able to do that when he left cleveland for the Falcons .
