Justin Jefferson, Adrian Peterson, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson deserve honorable mentions
Not Russel Wilson
@@Supbros1902yes Russell Wilson as well
@@Supbros1902Russell Wilson's rookie year is great
@@Supbros1902 Russell Wilson may be bad now but did you not watch his rookie season? It was great
@@jedibro95there were 2 other rookie qbs better than Russel Wilson his rookie year
Here’s a stat.
Since 1998 Moss has more seasons with 17 plus receiving TDs than every pass catcher since combined.
Devin Hester in 2006 was a very, refreshing player to watch with all the TDs on kickoff or punt returns
Not as a packers fan 🤗😭🤣
@@montagnemaster69 y’all got rid of Aaron Rodgers at a pretty good time, huh? I mean it was the oline’s fault but still.
Very well said. Seeing that man returning any type of kick was so jaw dropping. Especially as a vikings fan twice a year. One of the most unique players in NFL history.
Still remember that opening kick return for a touchdown. Oh btw it was the super bowl lmao the room went wild
@@sportsloverbaseballI mean he wouldn’t have tore it if he still was on the packers tho
"Galloping Gale carrying the mail" is such a bar 🔥 🔥
And jimmy first down brown 🤎 lmao these announcers be having bars 😂
Brian Urlacher's rookie year was amazing too! Coming from New Mexico State to be a 9ovr pick at FS then moving to OLB and then moving to MLB after some games and being named DROY wow! Hes stats? 123 tackles, 8 sacks, 1 FR and 2 INTs.
The white shark 🦈
Wait he was a safety wow I like these lil nuggets I didn't know he had that much movement and became a hof linebacker
He came from New Mexico, not New Mexico State.
There's no sharks in illinois
@@milesbrown7345there is one
I still can’t believe Devin Hester is not in the Hall of Fame yet. He was ridiculous!
Some people argue that someone who was essentially only a return man shouldn’t get in.
Most probably would agree that he was the best to return ever though.
It's funny cause he didn't only return kicks. He became a wide receiver for the Bears later on, being an above-average receiver for the league and one of the best receivers in Bears history, (which isn't a high bar but y'know)
Why would a guy who has less career TDs than Ted Ginn Jr get in?
@@RandallFPSbecause he changed the game and turned kick returning into a specialty all its own.
@@RandallFPS hall is for people who were the best at the position they played. He's undisputedly the best at his position as a return man.
I am 100% convinced that "Night Train" Lane's 14 INTs in a season is the NFL's most impressive and unbreakable record.
I would have to agree it's going nowhere
@@nottodayimbusy7146 Like it's up there with Ernie Nevers/Alvin Kamara's 6 TDs in a single game
Not least because the rules on pass interference have changed markedly since his day. That's not a criticism of Lane - he played the game according to the rules that then stood.
People will say that it is unbreakable because QBs and Offenses have become so much better...
Well, the Offenses also throw the ball A LOT MORE than they used to, especially when that record was set!
So the QBs may be better, especially the accuracy and completion rate, but at the same time, there are a lot more opportunities to intercept the ball.
As impressive a Record as there is in the entirety of NFL Records!
No 2014 Odell is outrageous😢
I thought he was a lock. What made him more impressive was he missed the first 4 games and still had 1,300+ receiving yards and 12 TDs that season. Honestly could’ve had 1,700 yards and 15 TDs if he played a full season that year
everybody on here was a First Team All Pro and challenged for POY. Beckham didnt do either...
facts
Lawrence Taylor is without any doubt the greatest defensive player in NFL history! His was an absolute ANIMAL when he kept on TRUCKING offensive players like he meant it!
I wish I were alive to have seen him play
LT was also a crackhead p3do sex addict. Go Eagles.
Linebackers, yes but I think you have to split defensive players into linemen, linebackers and defensive backs. Reggie White, Lawrence Taylor and Deion would be the best at those 3 positions
@@brianbadonde9251He's the best defensive player in general
@@greatarchitect I would disagree since each of those 3 positions take a different skillset but it's subjective
Big Ben is an example of what happens when you big the entire team first and then add a talented QB on top of it.
Every team seems to be looking for a savior these days and it just puts too much pressure on these young QBs
Top 10:
0:20 - Nr. 10 - Ben Roethlisberger (QB) - 2004
2:35 - Nr. 9 - Al "Bubba" Baker (DE) - 1978
4:02 - Nr. 8 - Ronnie Lott (S) - 1981

6:32 - Edgerrin James (RB) - 1999

18:24 - Micah Parsons (LB) . 2021
18:56 - Ja’Marr Chase (WR) - 2021
19:39 - Jevon Kearse (DE) - 1999
20:13 - Devin Hester (WR/Return specialist) - 2006
No OJ Anderson, even as an honorable mention. Figures. Man only gained over 1600 yards on a bad St Louis Cardinal team, caught 41 passes as well.
no odell is crazy
Wow I can't believe Adrian Peterson, Justin Jefferson (who beat Jamar Chase to the rookie rec record, and did it in 1 less game) or Cam Newton were not mentioned.
Or Alvin Kamara
RG3 could’ve been great
A big possibility but knowing the history of running QBs they tend to not have Elite careers for every long
Him getting injured is basically the exact reason why Running QBs don't stay Elite for very long
@@JDBass36if he just had learn to slide, and not be to proud to run out of bounds
@@mosesthemessenger2643 is more of the sheer fact that any extra hits your taking outside of the pocket adds up quickly
We literally saw Anthony Richardson get hurt for the Colts last week. Constantly taking extra hits form 250+ LB and DL will shorten your career.
It's basically happened to every running QB ever
I understand having Zeke and Dak together, but definitely think Zeke deserved a spot within the top 10. To lead the league with 1,600 yards in a passing era is very impressive.
Anquan Boldin also needs to be somewhere on this list, too. He didn't have the flash of a Randy Moss, OBJ, or Ja'Marr Chase rookie year, but his numbers back in 2003 were amazing, despite his QB and being on a pre-Fitzgerald squad.
I think Josh McCown was the quarterback
RG3 is the biggest what if’s in history. His track speed and pin point accuracy was unique. Him and DJax would’ve been a cheat code together 🤦♂️
What about Fred Taylor? He was toe to toe with Randy Moss for rookie of the year in 98 breaking out 50+ yards runs in almost every game. I believe he also had 17 total TDs that year.
Moss led the number one scoring offense in LEAGUE HISTORY. He made Randall Cunningham no lower than a 2nd team All Pro from a Unsigned player. Moss was BY FAR the top WR and deserved OPoTY; Fred Taylor was behind Terrell Davis & Jamal Anderson for best Running Back. Context, bud, context.
*a case can be made 1998 Randal Cunningham > 1998 Steve Young (because of Randy Moss)
Sir Randall Moss yessirr
I remember watching Dickerson's rookie year. From a STEELERS fan perspective at 12. It was amazing to watch, the running highlights were almost all Dickerson. He was Huge, for a running back and Such long strides.
Sayers was so good that he made the Hall despite only playing in five full seasons (he only played in 4 games his final two years in the league). When you play for _five_ seasons and get put in the Hall, that says a lot about what other players and coaches thought of you.
Bro, watching Devin Hester growin up was like watching the warriors in the finals😂🔥🔥
That Buress catch from Ben would’ve been brought back today
Cam Newton deserved at least a honorable mention ,
In fact Gale Sayers had 6 touchdowns vs 49ers in one game 4 rushing 1 kick return and 1 punt return too
"Galloping Gale, carrying the mail!" That makes me smile so much.
I remember Earl Campbell as a kid and just thought he was a like a train 🚂 plowing through a row of buses 🚌! I even remember him saying that one person tackling him wasn't enough - he wanted a whole bunch of them! That was funny but awesome at the same time... Unfortunately, due to his punishing nature, his career didn't last as long, but he was a beast!
Icky woods deserves ans honorable mention.
Had the best rushing stats and the best TD dance
Alfred Morris was pretty darn good too
Galloping gale carrying the mail is the best line in history
The Devin Hester season will NEVER be broken, 6 returns for TDS in one season?! Wtf
Moss should be #1. I still can't believe one hater voted for Payton Manning for ROTY. Rookie Moss deserved all of those votes💜✊🏽
Best Rookie Season In NFL History Jerome Bettis Running Back Of Los Angeles Rams From 1993 Was Named Rookie Of The Year Thanks For Uploading
You’re Welcome.
Thanks For Capitalizing The First Letter Of Each Word. Totally Necessary.
How Much Time Do You Spend Capitalizing Every Letter?
WHY ONLY CAPITALIZE THE FIRST LETTER OF THE WORD. WHEN YOU CAN JUST CAPITALIZE THE ENTIRE SENTENCE, IT MAKES THINGS SO MUCH EASIER TO READ. 😂😂
He’s a Pittsburgh Steeler 🤬
Devin Hester was really fast asf. He literally would take 3 steps and cover 10 yards wtf🤯
Could you imagine Dan Marino in todays game he would throw for 60 td every year
Im sorry Hester has to be more than an honorable mention. The return man is not even that valuable now in days
Shocked Odell Beckham, Justin Jefferson, Cam Newton and Andrew Luck weren’t mentioned
Moss & Dickerson should be top 2. Their rookie records still haven’t been broken.
OBJ should be honorable mention. He averaged 110 yards per game on a bum team and missed 4 games. He also had 10+ touchdowns and 90+ catches.
Crazy that Chase isn’t here. He set numerous rookie records and is regarded by almost everyone as the best rookie wr all time.
Adrian Peterson should’ve made the list and would have but he missed 2 games & only got 20 or more carries once after week 9.
He STILL set the single game rushing record (against AFC runner ups) and lit up the Chicago Bears (defending NFC champs, known for their defense). AP was seen as the best RB by his rookie year, Chase was behind at least 2021 Kupp & 2021 Hill.
@@cedricbeard4609 Yeah, AP should be here but Chase did everything that Moss did
@@scorp5469 Moss led the number one scoring offense in LEAGUE HISTORY. He made Randall Cunningham go from an Unsigned player to 1st or 2nd team All Pro. Chase had Joe Burrow, far from an unsigned player, given up on. Context.
Moss was BY FAR the top WR of 1998 and deserved OPoTY; Cooper Kupp was clearly the best WR of 2021 & deserved OPoTY. Context.
MVP of 1998 was Terrell Davis, Cunningham, Moss. Moss should have been a bigger candidate, along with Steve Young. MVP of 2021 went Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Cooper Kupp. Davante Adams should’ve been 4th, and Chase wasn’t supposed to be in the conversation. You have a case of RECENCY BIAS.
If you watch Gale Sayers highlights you will see he revolutionized running for players even today
I was just a kid watching this game, like 6-7 years old, and ive told this story before about a jets qb throwing it backwards for a safety several times but never found a video of it till now. Thank you lol
JHerbert is a touchdown machine
Awesome stuff
Love these top ten videos!
Honorable mentions:
Billy Howton in 1952 had 1,231 yards and 13 receiving touchdowns en route to a second team all pro selection (the rookie receiving touchdowns lasted until Randy Moss I believe).
In their first years in the NFL, Eddie George, Jerome Bettis, and Edgerrin James each topped 1,300 rushing yards, and there’s Franco Harris who topped 1,000 on 5.6 yards per carry with double digit rushing touchdowns.
There’s the rookie seasons of Sammy Baugh and Bob Waterfield who won a championship in their first years in the NFL.
If you are willing to count players’ second years after a first year where they barely played then Tom Brady also won a championship in his first relatively full year, and there’s Patrick Mahomes’ 50 touchdown season in 2018 after a 2017 season where he played one game.
And there’s at least two defensive linemen who made first team all pro as a rookie: Jevon Kearse in 1999, and Ndamokong Suh in 2010. Both also had double digit sacks.
No Adrian Peterson, Justin Jefferson, Odell Beckham Jr, Russell Wilson, or Cam Newton as atleast honorable mentions is criminal.
@@yeelicious-6232Those guys also all had darn good rookie seasons (AP in particular).
I typed the players I did specifically because I didn’t think they would occur to anyone.
Video Idea: Every teams best/greatest upset win.
Think Everson Walls deserves an honorable mention. Dude had a league-best 11 interceptions in 1981.
Night train lain still holds the most interceptions and that was his rookie season
Big ben’s rookie season, he had a squad!!
Oh Yeah He Did Man
Dak and Zeke’s rookie seasons were so special to watch
Cowboys fans great season did they win Superbowl😢
Those Earl Campbell clips 🤯
Just smashing professional athletes.
21:55 that cutback across the field from sayers is all I needed to see. Dude must’ve been a menace to society on the field. That was nasty I had to watch it 5x, awareness 200
Edge James was awesome and a good man. I doubt that middle linebacker came close to 292 tackles
Jim Brown 😶
Cam Newton broke the all-time single season rushing TD record as a rookie and not even a mention
Not including Herbert on the top 10 list as a top 10 member is criminal. Honestly the entire list is shot because of that mistake
Big Ben definitely doesn't deserve to be here his stats weren't good and he had the best defense and one of the best rushing offenses
That rookie WR on the Rams is pretty sick. Dude fought hard against the 9ers last week
Hard to compare with different positions but lots of good ones
2021 Jamarr Chase is my personal favorite
In its complete context Adrian Peterson should have a spot, let alone honorable mention.
He easily wins the rushing title but he missed 2 games & only got 20 or more carries once after week 9.
He still set the single game rushing record against the AFC runner ups. Also winning a RB showdown against LaDanian Tomlinson. … He lit up that decorated Bears defense, who were also Defending NFC champions. … At 8-8 and losing our last two games we were on the fringe of making the playoffs, and would have but AP had a banged up college career & we were too cautious (Brad Childress was also an idiot).
AP was seen as the best RB by his rookie season and in its actual context he’s more deserving than Hester, Baker, and Big Ben. Keep in mind, he has NOTHING around him, especially at QB & Head Coaching.
Bears need this guy on their oline asap
Roethlisberger's Ability for Passing Is Simply Terrific
Odell had the best rookie WR season of all time its not close
Leslie O'Neal always gets the shaft.Another video of "top" he's not mentioned.He is definitely one that should've been on this list and in the HOF
Plaxico sure does like snapping Patriots win streaks
kinda feel like Sauce should've won DPOY but it dosn't compare to LT's season, but finishing as the #1 CB in league as a rookie is pretty damn impressive
That is a graceful stride from gale ngl
Randy Moss is the reason I love football.
My buddies a Cowboys fan and when they drafted Ezekiel Elliott, I told him he would regret that pick at first I ate those words, but as time went on I was right. But I told my buddy they should draft Jalen Ramsey and get Derrick Henry with their second round, pick if he was still on the board. The Cowboys could’ve gotten Jalen Ramsey, Derrick Henry and Dak Prescott, all in the same draft
Gale Sayers was greater then ever in his Rookie year in 1965 22 touchdowns speaks for itself
TOTALLY AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS THE KANSAS COMET IS WELL DESERVED.
LT loved crackin Jaworski
How did Dan Marinos rookie year not make the list?
Compared to some of the honorable mentions, Big Ben shouldn't sniff this list. His team was the 28th ranked passing offense. Pitt was a run heavy team with an awesome defense. He was just a long for the ride.
294 tackles in a season is wild 😂
Why is this not talked about more?? 😂
it is also just straight up bs
@@laurinnn aren’t you the mf who called earl campbell overrated 🤨
@@ArenaPhoenix because he 100% is. the guy made the HOF for 3 good seasons with zero playoff performance to his name. he somehow made the NFL 100. his career numbers arent one bit impressive (for a HOFer) and he was useless as a receiver. his 3 OPOYs were undeserved as well
Jim Brown was the #6 pick in 1957 who were the top 5 I will look.
If Gayle Sayers never got hurt, people would consider him the best RB of all time.
Dak and Zeke were so much fun to watch in 2016
Adrian Peterson isn’t on this list is ridiculous. He has the single game rushing record as a rookie against the chargers and it still hasn’t been broken! 😊
Say whatever you want about big Ben but he was a monster in the first 10 or so years of his career. Really great player with a solid team around him. Of course, if you put him in the Big Apple and Eli in Pittsburgh Eli probably wins a few more conference championships over his big bro and big bros big-time foe Tom Brady.
Ben had just a couple few guys to throw to huh? Spoiled. That trio of receivers would make a lot of QBs look good I feel like
Honorable mentions: Mark Carrier(bears) 1990, erik mcmillan 1988, Mike haynes 1976, tony dorsett 1977, paul krause 1964, patrick peterson 2011, 1965 dick butkus and john brockington 1971
No mention of Cam Newton? 🤔
No cap, rg3 really used to be nice
Expecting to see randy moss, Big Ben, dak, and Zeke on this list
I love Earl Campbell, but if we are only going on rookie seasons, check his numbers vs OJ Anderson's. OJ beats him in almost every stat there is. Unfortunately he played on a woeful Cardinals team, so he wasn't noticed. If he had the same career while playing with the Giants the whole time he'd be in the Hall by now.
Big Ben had a cannon
Jamarr chase should be top 5 rookie years. That’s crazy that he’s not. They went to the Super Bowl his rookie year and has the record for receiving yards by a rookie.
Everson Walls 11 picks?? Well, sadly this man gets looked over again which is nothing new for him. He should be a surefire Hall of Fame player with 57 career picks which is 10th all-time and one of only 2 players to lead the league in interceptions 3 times. Yep, sadly, Everson has been sorely underrated and it is a damn shame this man isn't in the Hall of Fame.
I personally feel it is due to the bias against the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, they have a lot of players in the HOF, but have quite a few that should be there without question such as Walls, Darren Woodson and I could name probably 5 more. However, the hatred for the Cowboys due to their success over the years as well as being named, not by themselves mind you, America's Team by NFL Films on a season highlight film in 78.
Well, at any rate, love or hate a team they should give props to those who deserve it. It took Drew Pearson forever to be elected and he was one of the top 2-3 receivers in the league for a decade. I do think a lot of Wide Receivers and Defensive Backs get overlooked because the league was not as pass-happy as it is today.
One can only imagine some of the numbers these guys would have...imagine Everson Walls with double the opportunities?? Anyway, good stuff outside of that glaring omission.
1988 Ickey Woods an 2021 Jamarr Chase or some of the greatest years for a rookie ever.
Big Ben had a arm like no other
AP ahould be in there. Rookie breaking rushing records is insane.
Ditka can’t get a “honorable mention”?! 1000 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns at end in 14 games. Cool list. #BearDown
they has the best nicknames back in the day
Sammy Baugh honorable mention??? As a quarterback he led the league in passing and passing TD. Led the League in interceptions as a defensive back and had the highest punting average. ALL IN THE SAME YEAR!!! HOW IS THAT NOT TOP 10?!?!
Cam Newton, AD, Hester, luck, Matt Ryan
5 - NIGHT TRAIN LANE 😍 9:39
Man... if AP didnt get injured, he might well have broken ED's rookie record
How is Cam Newton not at least Honorable mention. When he was a rookie, they were sayin he was having arguably the greatest rookie season ever
Justin Jefferson. All day. #1
How could it even be argued for anyone else?
And hes not even on the list.
F’n amazing
