He is the greatest player in pro football 🏈 history at his position. He needs to be in the HoF.
O does he have the most blocks too ? I wasnt sure if he did or not. Yea Tasker is pro football. Now though pro football isnt even pro football. It finally died around 2014. ⚰️R i p C L J

His return against the Raiders may be one of the greatest football plays I've ever seen. Remember thinking the same thing watching it live. Such a great player.
@@barneyrebel6020 It sure was! If I'm not mistaken it was the opening kickoff of the 2nd half. Not only a great play but a huge one in the outcome of the game.
UA-cam recommended this, I cannot believe Steve tasker is not in the hall of fame, I just assumed he was, after all there is no question, Steve is the greatest special teams player in the history of the game, if you watched football back in the day, you knew Steve would make every played it seemed. And you didn't have to be a bills fans to know it. I just don't understand why or how he is not in the hof.
I’m not even a bills fan but Josh Allen used to live an hour away from my city and I love steve tasker. He actually could have been a solid slot receiver if he wanted but he was so valuable on special teams. A true difference maker and a guy who puts it all on the line
Steve Tasker. The only player in NFL history to be able to take over a game as a special teams player. Won a pro bowl MVP as a special teams player. Filled in for an injured Andre Reed and was better than 83. Needs to be in the hall of fame. R u kidding me. He was the catalyst that took us to 4 straight. Hall of fame now!!!
I've seen a lot of interviews with former players and coaches who all say that Tasker should be in the HOF. It's people who never played the game who have the votes and have kept him out
@@superpookiebros8476 yeah but he wasn't just special teams, dude played running back and wide receiver (best route runner on the team according to Kelly and Reich) and he did that on TOP of playing EVERY position on special teams, dude was returning punts and blocking punts and focring fumbles and making tackles for losses on kick coverage and successfully recovering on-sides kicks on the hands team (two kickoffs in a row in one game) and he was doing all of it well and with more effort on every play than most guys in the league, it's a crime against football and the spirit of the game that Steve Tasker isn't in the Hall of Fame #BillsMafia

At 13:30 was week 5 the first meeting by these 2 teams that year. The 2nd one is the one we all know very well! But the week 5 game was fun to watch too. Would love someone to upload this full game.
Watching this after Devin Hester was voted a finalist and listen I’m not even a Bills fan I just wanted to see what this guy was about cuz he kept being mentioned and without a doubt this was a SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER on BOTH sides for returns and making a play on kickoffs.

How many games did he change the momentum of? How many times did he flip-the-field on an opponent? His value as a Special Teams Ace cannot be overstated. He was a Sharpshooter. He was a Sidewinder. He was a Heat-seeker who brought his own heat. He was a Heartbreaker and a Playmaker dishing-out defeat. We all know where he belongs--Canton, OH. Tasker may not admit it, but he knows too; he's a Hall Of Fame Baller through-and-through. Regardless of the League or the Player's Association or WHOMEVER, Tasker #89, holds a special place in a multitude of hearts that bleed Red, White and Blue. We watched every Sunday from home or in the stands, and we did bear witness to a Special Sort of Greatness--one who looked like a Choir Boy carved out of Granite. #BillsMafia

Get real folks: Steve is 5 feet 9, 185 or so in his playing days. Name another player of that size who had as big an impact ?! Steve never worried about himself, if you were in his way, you could bet Steve Tasker was going to make you pay !
I started watching the Bills right when they switched to the white facemasks. If you ask me, the blue mask looks much more tough. Makes me wanna see a blue helmet with a red mask.
How on earth is Steve Tasker not in the Hall of Fame? He’s such a joy to watch! Great example of how one great special teams player can make a huge difference!

I don’t understand how they don’t like to put special teams players in the HOF. It is ridiculous. They can win or lose a game. They can ch acc the the momentum of a game. It is a crime and a shame Steve Tasker is not in the HOF.
It is mind blowing how many punt-blocks the Bills special teams used to get. Here in 2021, I don't think I've seen them do it once in over 2 years. But to be fair, NFL coaches are super wary of getting roughing the kicker penalties, what with the modern day kicker-friendly rule changes.
This video adds to the argument that Steve Tasker belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Even if he never gets in, I think the selection committee would be impressed by this highlight reel.

The one down vote came from Deon Sanders still pissed about how many times Tasker tackled him for a loss, either that or the ref from Steve's final play still salty about him making him look bad 😅
The last highlight will always be my favorite. Even in his final (meaningless) game, #89 is all heart. If Morten Anderson and Ray Guy can make into the Hall of Fame, so should Steve Tasker.
Kickers I understand but if a punter is in the Hall then Tasker deserves to be too. His plays changed the outcome of several games. Opponents had to prepare for him just like they did for Thurman Thomas

Little guy. BIG HEART! And while its fun seeing him nail returners (where the hell does he get that much power from?!), I get just as much joy watching him block punts. Oh and he can catch onside kicks and score touchdowns too! It truly is a shame he isn't in the HoF (just like those jokers in the Rock and Roll HoF vis a vis Rush and took 'em what like 15 years or something?)
is everyone who voted on the hall of fame watched this video...... he'd be in this year. even as a Bills fan since 5yrs old, I myself didnt realize he was this good.
Houston made a HUGE mistake waiving a player of Steve's caliber. From day one Steve contributed to the Bills and years after his playing career is over, he is one of the most beloved guys we ever had !! And don't think I'm blowing smoke, I've known Steve almost 30 years !
51 minutes?! 😳 Ok, totally worth it. Steve Tasker's amazing! The only disappointment was his last game. I'm sure he was already highly emotional being that it was his final game of his excellent career. The man's definitely worthy of being a Hall of Famer. The NFL ought not discriminate his position, after all he was a multi-Tasker. 😉👉👉
Idk man, Steve's final play was legendary and it's epic seeing it at the end of this highlight reel, just when you think there's nothing left he hasn't done after playing running back and wide receiver with all the touchdowns and blocked punts and forced fumbles and tackles for losses on returners and punt returns of his own and the on-sides kick recoveries (2 in a row in one game) and that back flip in celebration he still has the energy and drive and motivation in his retirement game to go so hard at that ref who botched the call on his final play getting himself ejected, the man had an epic and legendary fucking career and as bad as that call was (and what a shame it was that it led to him getting ejected) it was a totally gnarly way for him to go out with the same energy he came into the league with, Steve Tasker is the greatest to ever play the game #BillsMafia #BillsMafia #BillsMafia
Houston waived him and the Bills claimed him days after Levy replaced Bullough. Ironically, Levy called the Bills preseason games in 86 and the Bills played the Oilers that year.
I saw an interview with Tasker where he said Glanville planned on resigning him after a few roster moves, and he told Tasker to tell whatever team brought him in for a physical that "it hurt" anywhere they touched him.
well, he was just really really fast... it's not like anybody of any color consistently blew up punt plays like Tasker did. Like Liam Neeson in that one movie, he had a unique set of skills.
@@Yeomannn Agreed. Dude was wicked fast, and for a small build hit like a truck with that speed. Dude played like every play was his last and gave it his all. Block a punt, recover an onsides kick, make a tackle, cause a fumble, catch a pass, return a kick. Football player: see Steve Tasker.

he had both elite speed and elite athletic ability. You don't block as many punts as Tasker did just on heart. You have to be fast. Not to mention how many double teams he outran to tackle a punt returner. He wasn't Rudy, he was a world class athlete.
Amazing special teams player!! HOF for sure!!
32:25 on the Tim Brown tackle, you can see the mutual respect for each other.
Think about these numbers folks: 4.3 in the forty, 6.5 yards per carry, 12 yards per pint return, 20 yards on both kick returns, and receptions, most tackles ever on special teams, most blocks ever on special teams, 13 years in the NFL.

No. Apparently these clowns think Devin Hester belongs instead. Seriously disgusts me. Tasker would have taken Hester's lunch money if they were in the same era
I swear Steve Tasker in the late 80s early 90s was known for his ability to block field goals and extra points from the edge. I didn't see one!
I still marvel and how much footage you have and how difficult it must be putting these uploads together. We thank you!
Seriously, that must have been some work
25:19 That Grab on Deion Sanders!
Insane!
Multiple tackles for a loss on Deon
They definitely took a long time to announce the tackle because they didnt know who steve was
Greatest gunner ever, because when he wasn't making the best tackles by a special teamer, he was catching passes, blocking punts, and returning kicks

Just watched the whole thing, dude went harder and accomplished more things than anyone who's ever played the game right down to his final play in the league, people call him the greatest special teams player to ever play the game but he wasn't just special teams, he was so much more than that and the diversity of his plays makes his highlight reel way more exciting to watch than anyone else's, dude played running back and wide receiver (best route runner on the team according to Kelly and Reich) and he did that on TOP of playing EVERY position on special teams, dude was returning punts and blocking punts and focring fumbles and making tackles for losses on kick coverage and successfully recovering on-sides kicks on the hands team (two kickoffs in a row in one game) and he was doing all of it well and with more effort on every play than most guys in the league, it's a crime against football and the spirit of the game that Steve Tasker isn't in the Hall of Fame #BillsMafia
The one down vote came from Deon Sanders still pissed about how many times Tasker tackled him for a loss, either that or the ref from Steve's final play still salty about him making him look bad 😅
It’s inevitable that he’ll be in the Hall sooner or later.
2022 is his last year of eligibility.
89 for HOF!
The last highlight will always be my favorite. Even in his final (meaningless) game, #89 is all heart. If Morten Anderson and Ray Guy can make into the Hall of Fame, so should Steve Tasker.
Kickers I understand but if a punter is in the Hall then Tasker deserves to be too. His plays changed the outcome of several games. Opponents had to prepare for him just like they did for Thurman Thomas

Steve retired in 1997 ...2 seasons later the music city miracle happened. In other words, Steve retired 2 years too early😟 buffalo luck
GREAT VID!! Love how he handled Deion!
Little guy. BIG HEART! And while its fun seeing him nail returners (where the hell does he get that much power from?!), I get just as much joy watching him block punts. Oh and he can catch onside kicks and score touchdowns too! It truly is a shame he isn't in the HoF (just like those jokers in the Rock and Roll HoF vis a vis Rush and took 'em what like 15 years or something?)
is everyone who voted on the hall of fame watched this video...... he'd be in this year. even as a Bills fan since 5yrs old, I myself didnt realize he was this good.
Great work Andy
THAT is a football player! Given the chance at WR he'd have matched Welker, Edelman, Largent?
How many punts did he block? It's a travesty that's he's not in the HOF.
How many games did he break open? He's in my Hall of Fame.
Houston made a HUGE mistake waiving a player of Steve's caliber. From day one Steve contributed to the Bills and years after his playing career is over, he is one of the most beloved guys we ever had !! And don't think I'm blowing smoke, I've known Steve almost 30 years !
Everything you said is 100% fact. I even named my dog "Tasker"
Jesus loves you.
A real nfl nerd could tell that guy just by the way he runs
51 minutes?! 😳
Ok, totally worth it. Steve Tasker's amazing! The only disappointment was his last game. I'm sure he was already highly emotional being that it was his final game of his excellent career. The man's definitely worthy of being a Hall of Famer. The NFL ought not discriminate his position, after all he was a multi-Tasker. 😉👉👉
Idk man, Steve's final play was legendary and it's epic seeing it at the end of this highlight reel, just when you think there's nothing left he hasn't done after playing running back and wide receiver with all the touchdowns and blocked punts and forced fumbles and tackles for losses on returners and punt returns of his own and the on-sides kick recoveries (2 in a row in one game) and that back flip in celebration he still has the energy and drive and motivation in his retirement game to go so hard at that ref who botched the call on his final play getting himself ejected, the man had an epic and legendary fucking career and as bad as that call was (and what a shame it was that it led to him getting ejected) it was a totally gnarly way for him to go out with the same energy he came into the league with, Steve Tasker is the greatest to ever play the game #BillsMafia #BillsMafia #BillsMafia
Never knew he was on the Oilers
What I mean is....what the hell was Houston thinking?
He had no weaknesses!
Devin Hester getting in the HofF before Tasker makes me sick
Great upload as always, Andy. Keep with the great work! Could you please make in the near future career highlight videos of Jim Kelly & Andre Reed?
He started with Houston? What happened? How did he end up in Buffalo?
Houston waived him and the Bills claimed him days after Levy replaced Bullough. Ironically, Levy called the Bills preseason games in 86 and the Bills played the Oilers that year.
@@andyprovin9108 what? They didnt have room on their roster? How do you let a guy like this go? Was Hugh Campbell still coaching at that time?
@@joedodic549 I believe it was Jerry Glanville who waived him
I saw an interview with Tasker where he said Glanville planned on resigning him after a few roster moves, and he told Tasker to tell whatever team brought him in for a physical that "it hurt" anywhere they touched him.
@@chrisgresart8957 This actually seems legit. Lots of teams waive players expecting them to clear.
Father of Luke Tasker. (CFL fans get it)
So do Bills fan's!
Great video
Put this man in the HOF for crying out loud
Tasker was fast but not as fast as Willie Gault. :)
One of the best special teams player of all time.
He was really really really fast for a white guy.
did someone say sneaky speed?😂😂😂
well, he was just really really fast... it's not like anybody of any color consistently blew up punt plays like Tasker did. Like Liam Neeson in that one movie, he had a unique set of skills.
really fast in general brother not just for a white guy any race can be fast
@@Yeomannn Agreed. Dude was wicked fast, and for a small build hit like a truck with that speed. Dude played like every play was his last and gave it his all. Block a punt, recover an onsides kick, make a tackle, cause a fumble, catch a pass, return a kick. Football player: see Steve Tasker.
Hank Bauer 2.0
Singlehandedly ruined Scott Schwedes career?
How does a special teams guy have this many wild highlights😂

No elite speed, no elite athletic ability, no elite size
Simply Elite Heart
He was fast
He seems to have elite speed but I'm no expert who knows. Great player.
he had both elite speed and elite athletic ability. You don't block as many punts as Tasker did just on heart. You have to be fast. Not to mention how many double teams he outran to tackle a punt returner. He wasn't Rudy, he was a world class athlete.
he had great speed and was a great athlete. you are right on the size part however
