I like how people are saying jerry rice. He wasnt an athletic freak. He just had immaculate work ethic

Barry Sanders - I have never seen a more balanced runner. I've never seen any player in any football code who could change direction like he did, without losing any pace. A total freak of nature. He carried a team that really didn't have any other stars, so he was an obvious target, but rose above being double and triple teamed almost every game. His stats are stratospheric. And he had a loyalty and humility that was as legendary as his playing ability.

You left off Lawerence Taylor... The dude ran like a DB hit like a DE and shed blocks like a LB or Safety. His entire career, every play, he was always the best player on the field. Even playing against 49ers montanna and rice. L.T. is the one who jumps off the screen as most impactful.

One of the most amazing things I saw Bo do was field the ball at the warning track and throw the ball to the catcher for an out. No cutoff man. To throw a baseball that far, that fast and that accurately is amazing

You forgot Lawrence taylor

5 years later and Dk Metcalf will be on this list

Glad to see that Jim Thorpe was not forgotten . He was simply the greatest athlete of the 20th century.

Great List! I'd like to see Earl Campbell on it.

Larry Allen's chasedown of the potential pick six is incredible & terrifying

Deon Sanders and Bo Jackson were the greatest athletes of the 20th century.

I think Peppers is the most naturally talented defensive player I’ve ever seen. He had a Hall of Fame career but I feel like he actually underperformed what he was truly capable of

I grew up in Wilson, NC and played against Julius Peppers/Southern Nash in high school. When I was a senior and he was a junior it was obvious he was a whole different level of human. People also forget that he was a strong player off the bench for UNC basketball for 2 years till he decided to focus on football.

Derrick Henry will be here soon🐐🐐🐐🐐

Thank you for mentioning Jim Thorpe! His legacy gets swept under the rug. Pro football hall of fame, pro baseball hall of fame, college hall of fame and the Olympics hall of fame.

Awesome video! I knew about Herschel Walker but no one else really. It was really awesome to learn about these guys, especially Deion Sanders and Jim Thorpe. I think walkers still my fav but all these guys are awesome

Thank you! I've been touting Jim Thorpe for years as one of the best athletes ever. Glad to see you did your home work my friend - glad indeed!

Julio Jones is 6’4 and ran a 4.3 with a broken foot. I personally believe he should make the list

Bo getting hurt robbed all of us on what could have been.

The first time I realized this phenomenon was watching Deon Sanders playing for the Dallas Cowboys. Even from 70 yards away he immediately stuck out from the rest of the players on the field. Great video, I appreciate your efforts and thoughts put into your choices.

When Jim Thorpe was in the Olympics, the night before they started someone stole his track shoes. He ended up finding 2 mismatched shoes in the garbage and competed in those and still won.

I am 77 years old and I saw many of Jim Brown's games. People forget that when he played, the season was only 12 games for each of his first 4 years, then 14 games for his next 5, and he amassed over 12,000 rushing yards. He was big as some of the linemen, and he would literally run right through them. He was a beast and the only other players who I can think of that were that great in their prime were Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker.

Lawrence Taylor!!

What a great video! Each Player your named definitely give me goosebumps! Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, Deion Sanders! GOAT

best video EVER! And for once a video probably got a list right! To top it off is that it goes fast and to the point and doesn't waste time with a bunch of fluff down time making you wait in between the great parts. This video is from beginning to end great!

“Megatron” is a great nickname.

Missed the top 2 freaks of nature: Lawrence Taylor and Barry Sandrers

Deion, Bo and Herschel are just BEYOND AMAZING!

Randy Moss is so good he played opposite Cris Cater (a hall of famer) and everyone forgot Cris Carter. Also it’s criminal Calvin Johnson played his whole career in Detroit.

Maybe less track & field in nature, Barry Sanders is certainly one of the freakish athletes ever. Outside his records, he is simply the most spectacular RB to watch, ever. I would also add Michael Vick with his unique arm and leg combination

Deon told the story once that the hardest hit he ever took was from Bo Jackson. Deon's freshman season at FSU was Bo's last year at Auburn. Auburn and FSU used to play each other regularly in the regular season back then. Bo took a toss sweep around the corner and Deon tried to make the tackle and got truck sticked into the ground. Probably had a lot to do with why he didn't try to tackle too much after that.

Yo this was narrated very well! They way he described everybody freakish abilities drew me into the seg Love it

I feel lucky to have watched Moss start his career in Minnesota. He'd do jaw dropping plays all game long.

LT was a freak. Love watching his highlights

DK Metcalf is gonna be on this list soon

excellent job putting this list together

Sanders wasn't the first modern era to play both ways,Roy Green did it for the then St Louis Cardinals in 1981 and also had the record at the time for longest kickoff return in NFL history 106 yards.Great Video.

Don't forget! Bo was the only person to ever hit a home run and score a TD in the same day!

I was really glad to see Jim Thorpe on this list. He did things that no one else has ever done. You can talk all you want about multi sport athletes but Thorpe was on a different planet then everyone else and he did it without training. He gets forgotten a lot of times these days but he was the true definition of a freak athlete.

Andre Johnson was a beast. I also think someone who is underrated physically because of his look was Steve Young. He was fast, strong, quick and had a extremely strong arm.

0:24 Bo Jackson 1:49 Julius Peppers 3:28 Randy Moss 5:01 Larry Allen 6:28 Deion Sanders 7:51 Calvin Johnson 9:14 Herschel Walker 10:43 Jim Brown 11:50 Jim Thorpe 13:07 Vernon Davis

Bo Jackson was a true beast of an athlete of athletes when it comes to a perfect specimen. I love this piece

Definitely Need A Part 2 Bro💯Aaron Donald Dk Metcalf Etc……..Great Content Too

My boy Megatron was the man haven't seen nothing like since he retired.

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

Great call on Larry Allen. He was a phenomenal lineman. But he was equally phenomenal as an athlete. To be that massive in size, the strongest player in the league (probably ever), andt o still have that kind of speed is just BONKERS!

I was lucky enough to meet Julius Peppers at a UNC football game. HOLY CRAP - he is huge. HIs hands dwarfed mine and my hands are quite large as I'm known as a long-fingered guitarist. The best part was how humble and fun he was. Just a great guy. That is a day I'll never forget.

Alejandro villanueva It's a freak of an athlete and ine hell of a man. This man was a key piece for the offense when he played football at Army Became an Army Ranger after his college days and it won the bronze star for valor is a war hero. And then became an offensive linement for the Pittsburgh Steelers for 6 seasons became a 2 time pro bowler. And at 6'9 277 pounds With a 40 yd - time around 4'8 and being about as strong as possible I think you would have had a longer and more impressive career if you didn't have to serve in the army.

Adrian Peterson, came back less than a year later off of a broken ACL to place 9yds shy of the single season rushing record, and happens to hold the single game rushing record at 296yds.

You can triple-cover Megatron and it doesn't matter. He was always open.

"The Bullet" Bob Hayes should be on this list, Olympic Gold Medalist 100 yd dash, Super Bowl Champion, "FastestMan In The World", Fastest Man In The NFL Of All Time.

Lawrence Taylor. He belonged on this list for sure. Aside from the off the field issues dude was a freakishly good defender that offensive coaches had to game plan to try and neutralize his effectiveness on the outcome of the game. Good list still though.

I’m so glad I was able to see Bo Jackson play and witness his amazing god given talent.

Bo Jackson said he ran a 4.13 not 4.12 so he’s slower than we thought

I think Earl Campbell deserves a mention in this group.

MAN MUCH RESPECTS TO HERSHEL WALKWER. EVEN AFTER THE NFL AT AGE 48 THE MAN STEP IN TO THE OCTAGON IN MMA TO FIGHTS 2 MATCHES AND WON BOTH. O WOW MUCH LUV MAN.

✊🏽 Respect. Happy to see Jimmy Thorpe on a modern list! A native hero. He was a specimen way before his time.

If you ask the guys that tried to tackle him , Earl Campbell would be a major vote getter

Bro, Larry Allen… running down a pic 6. That’s amazing.

Lawrence Taylor, Earl Campbell, Barry Sanders, and Michael Vick were all freaky good.

Calvin Johnson at GT was the glory years of my life ! Back in the teen years watching Megatron rip it at GT with Reggie Ball ! I was like in HS

Walker is a legend for being able to command the best haul of draft picks in NFL trade history.

Barry Sanders and Mike Vick. Those two were something nobody had ever seen before. A RB that could literally teleport (that's the best way I can describe his elusiveness) and a QB that .... just go UKposts Mike Vick highlights.

I recall there was a big corner nearly 6'4 played for the Steelers that they changed the rule for because he beat up on wideouts and had 57 career int's in a non passing era named Mel Blount

Fun fact: Deion was getting questions from a nfl team and he asked them what pick her had and they said “16” he got up and said “I’ll be gone by then I don’t have time for this”

Larry allen used to make a train whistle sound as they came to the line letting them know he's coming and try and stop it man's a fn legend

Well done!!💪💪

I never liked the Giants, but back in the 80's I always watched them for one reason: *Lawrence Taylor* I knew I was watching a once in a lifetime athlete.

You forgot about Darrell Green. The man had elite speed and coverage into his 40s.

Your video left off the most electric player to ever touch a football. #20 BARRY.

Larry Allen is one of my favorite if not my most favorite Cowboy of all time. GOAT!!

I have yet to see a corner as dominant as Deion to this day. As a coverage man there was none better.

At 48 Herschel Walker was 2-0 in mma too, I’m young but that longevity is special. All these dudes are Legends.

Wait what? Moss wasn’t on 2011 Patriots. The record setting offense was 2007.

That a good list , I would love to see Barry Sanders .

Great picks😉

4:42 I think you mean 2007 patriots not 2011

We need to discuss calling Bobby BOWden Bobby Bo-den. Come on man this dude is like the 2nd most notorious coach to Nick Saban

“MEGATRON!!” Shows barricade😂

As a Cowboys' fan, Larry Allen is like, I'm glad he's on my side. Somebody that big, that strong and that fast, is terrifying. He's like a real life big foot.

Bo Jackson, in my opinion, is the greatest athlete in recorded human history.

Thanks for putting Jim Thorpe on the list!

Saw Deion when he played for the Cowboys, I wasn't overly impressed. Saw him a couple years earlier playing for the Richmond Braves....Damn he was fast!!!

James Harrison qualifies because of his amazing feats of strength, being able to be blocked only by being held, and his 102 yard interception return for a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII. Plus his inner competitive drive kept him trying harder and harder, playing in NFL Europe, and finally sticking with the Steelers.

Bo Jackson is number one on my list. Also, Lawrence Taylor should probably be included. He revolutionized the outside linebacker position.

I'm so happy Larry Allen is on this list, much deserved!

“Megatron” *shows a picture of Barricade*

excellent video

One guy you forgot to mention is Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson he was electronically timed at 9.4 seconds in the 100 yard dash by the Cowboys and was seldom beaten on pass plays by running backs or tight ends, a 6'3 inch 230 pound Line backer Hollywood Henderson was also used to run back kickoffs by Dallas Cowboys Special teams Coach at the time Mike Ditka. One of the fastest outside linebackers ever used in blitzing Quarter Back. Hollywood Henderson was Athletically truly a freak of nature. He was a starting outside linebacker on the Cowboys 1976 Super Bowl Championship Team, Do yourself a favor and check him out. He was number # 56.

I have a feeling Derrick Henry will find is way to one of these lists soon.

The only other guy I can think of that might deserve a nod is The Nigerian Nightmare, Christian Okoye. He ran a 4.5 40 at 6'1" 260 lbs and was an Olympic grade track and field star before ever picking up a football. He was likely the last true rushing fullback in NFL history (Alstott played RB a lot, so, he doesn't count.)

Earl Campbell had freakishly powerful legs, his thighs were larger than anyone else's in the NFL for his time and they had to custom make thigh pads for him. The guy invented the concept of trucking through defenders and he was almost impossible to bring down 1v1.

Imagine a guy like Herschel Walker with that size and strength and he doesn't get injured or take a day off. That's a different kind of freak. Unbreakable.

I remember getting tickets to the lions last game of the 2012 season against the Bears in hopes of seeing Calvin break the receiving record only for him to not even need all 16 games to beat the record. Dudes a freak and sadly the Lions treated him poorly like they do with all their stars and legends.

Actually a pretty good list but u missed a lot of people but my list would go on for a while so good job

Barry Sanders ought to be on this list. He was absolutely amazing.

Enjoyed the video. One correction, the catch at 4:26 doesn’t appear to be Randy Moss. I can’t tell, but the name looks like it might be Rudolph(?).

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

Had the honor of meeting Mr. Dion Sanders-he was a beast athlete-and also a class act!!!

Barry sanders So good they changed the rules for players coming out of college.

Nightrain Lane is the biggest snub from the list. He revolutionized the Cornerback position and still has the single season record for interceptions that was set during a time when throwing the ball was an afterthought.
