I'm still convinced that Marcus would have been one of the best backs ever. Definitely one of the best I have ever gotten to watch with my own eyes. Man, what I would give to see him carry the ball just one more time...
As a UGA fan, I remember that being a really emotional moment when he was carted off the field. I can definitely appreciate the type of player and person that he was/is. Good luck Lattimore.
Go Dawgs! Same here. I've never been a "cheer when one of the other team gets hurt" idk how anyone can. But I remember actually being devastated and very emotional. Beyond a shame
Time flies remember being in high school watching this guy….i was hard headed in the streets I could’ve went to auburn🤦🏽♂️ now all I have is old film to watch. Any young guys reading this don’t give up💯
This video is so powerful man. I have so much respect for Lattimore. He doesn't care what it takes, he's determined to get back on the field and he's gonna do work with the 49ers in the near future. He's my inspiration when it comes to Football.
Disappointing never got to see him play for my niners for the pick we got him at even tho it didn't work out he was worth the risk he had the talent and character but at the very least he got paid for his time on the team and had insurance so good for him
Can't wait to see this guy play in a Niners uniform. Hopefully, it will be next season. He's the second best running back on the roster right now. Forget Kendall Hunter, LaMichael James and Anthony Dixon. Both those guy can't carry a full load with Gore is done. A healthy Lattimore could.
I got to watch Marcus in person when he played in the Swamp. He was incredible. He has always been my single favorite player that was not a Gator. I remember getting choked up when he had that second knee injury. He had the talent to truly be a top tier NFL back. Much love and respect to you always, Marcus!
With this machine and Tank Carradine, 49ers are looking like absolute stars in the draft room. This is how you keep dynasty talk alive (again) in the city by the bay! Go Denver; Beat the pondchickens.
I’m a Georgia fan. But I loved watching this man play other then against Georgia. One of the best College football backs I’d ever seen. He would of lit the NFL up for 10 or more years I swear to it. Man was a complete beast.
you did a damn good job with this highlight video. Loved how you mixed commentary with music, and then the music selection mixed with the changed up highlight runs, shows redemption. Good job sir.
bull864 Just the type of RB we need(49ers). Whoever takes over for Frank Gore, if he dosnt do anynothing more than what Frank did, We are gonna be a very lucky team. All we need is one cut power backs in our system and thats what Lattimore is. :) So stoked we got him. Cant wait to see he and Carlos Hyde tote the rock for years to come!
Lattimore is part of the future of the Niners.. earlier than sooner. Salary cap considerations and, the fact, that the Niners will need to shed some salaries to re-sign their young players... Iupati, Aldon Smith, Kaepernick, Hunter, Crabtree, Miller, T.Brown, etc... Cap casualties could possibly include.. Frank Gore. I know Niners fans don't want to hear it but that could be a possibility.
I doubt we'll see him play in a game this season. The best for him is to practice for 3 weeks with the team after he comes off the NFI/PUP list and then placing him on season ending IR. Next season is when we'll have a healthy and rested Lattimore and we can see what he has.
I love Latti just as much as the next guy, but Davis is a hell of a back who deserves all of our respect - I think he's doing a damn fine job replacing Latti's production so far. I don't think his intangibles stack up to Marcus, but his production is outstanding.
i was at the south carolina v. tennessee game it was the most saddest moments ive seen in football I'm glad he got drafted to a good team! Good luck lattimore
I guess Marcus deserves this injury with all those ankles hes been breaking over the years haha. But seriously, I love this guy to death and I hope he becomes one of the best next year.
Love watching this guy, my heart skipped a beat when he got hurt in his final college season. He would been on the same level E. James, L. Tomlinson and some other NFL greats. What a damn shame and I really mean that.
Great guy....I was at the Gamecocks vs Vols game when he went down. That stadium was dead silence you can hear a pin drop. He's an emotional player. That scar on his knee. New start, I know Frank was a great mentor to Marcus. He bounce back from a gruesome injury....Marcus can also. New Stadium and new era, 49ers. They don't call it a comeback!!!
The way he ran. It was a different type of person. Id also like to add, ehen we were that team( far superior, other than not having cam newton) Kentucky made the games hard as fuck. I love south carolina gamecocks, and have grown to love the wildcats. Just not as much. Well, nowhere near. And fuck Tennessee for that play. They were playing dirty the entire game.
I've loved me some Frank Gore for a LONG TIME, but it's obvious the younger Marcus Lattimore needs to be the primary back next season. He's more talented than his fellow rookie classmen Eddy Lacy, Leveon Bell and Giovani Bernard. Frank will still be useful being the Robin to Lattimore's Batman of course, but the torch must be passed.
This guy will be a first down producing, red zone efficient back for the 49ers. Reminds me of Frank Gore when he was at Miami...Not overly impressive straight line speed, but breaking defenders ankles for 10-20 yards on a regular will not be an issue, especially with how talented the 49er O-Line is.
Too bad his knee couldn't hold up, looked up that injury and was a nasty as you will ever see. It was a cheap shop to boot, I go low all the time when I play against a larger guy, but would either trip him up, or drive through the thigh/ hip area. That cheap shot went directly into his knee dooming his career. Good he took out that insurance policy with good choices he can still live a comfortable life.
I think he'll be a star in the NFL this upcoming season. Frank Gore is a boss but he can't do it forever. I'm calling it, Gore is going to get injured and Lattimore is gonna go in there and wreck shit.
Should be the starter next year im srry i love gore but hes done his age has finally caught up to him That run game hasnt been the same this year hopefully lattimore can bring it back. Niners should also draft a back so he doesnt take the full load try to work him in slowly
Certain injuries are actually good, new tissue. new muscle, in some cases strengthening of bones and new calcium surrounding a break. This young man has the respect of his peers, is well-spoken, humble and can run. Best of luck and welcome to the Bay.
You gotta appreciate the optimism and faith that Harbaugh has in this guy who feels he has a lot to prove, with a fire in the pit. Once his opportunity is given, he's running like hell with it.
As a Niners fan, the only teams I truly hate are the Seahawks and Cowboys, and I join in on the country hating on the Pats just cuz its fun haha. Ive never been a fan of the Rams but wouldnt hate them, idk why you would hate us, despite us being in the division, just saying. Youre entitled to your opinion. That said, thanks for the respect, and same to you with Quinn, Long, and at one point Jackson, but hes in the Falcons now. Even though Im not a Rams fan, I felt disrespected by him leaving the Rams and joining the falcons just to be on a "good" team. Look how that turned out haha. Im sure if he had stayed with the Rams this year, even with Clemons at QB, every team in the NFC couldve finished with a winning record! Good luck to you guys next year, our matchups dont always look flashy on paper but the NFC West is the best in the NFL and no divisional games can be overlooked. Hawks are champs, Niners will be waiting to slam the door shut on them, Cards are hungrier than ever, and Rams are a QB away from having contending team. Your defense is awesome and I really wish you beat the Hawks that one time when they sacked Wilson like 7 times. They deserved that game. Stacy at RB is a rising star, Austin is looking more promising. Id be pretty excited if I were you!
True Gore came to the niners with a big injury as well not to mention he's quite small but damn he's amazing...although he is getting older I do hope that if things work out Lattimore can be mentored by him.
As a ducks fan I was a huge lattimore fan and was pretty sad to see his career shut down so early. Could have been an all time great. But still came back as a great human being.
Standout player right there. SF is lucky to have him. Take Hyde in the equation and Kaepernick's scramble ability and this team is looking to be a huge contender in 2015. Hope Lattimore does get in a couple of snaps this year though, every football fan can say he deserves it!
Hated to see he decided to pull back on it. I stand by what I said if he had decided to not pull out though. I'm a Clemson fan as well so there is no allegiance to Lattimore except respect.
For those of you guys who know Lattimore...the highlights just in this vid show some great running, juking, and faking, as well as speed really great stuff but the NFL is a big jump and all the gaps are much tighter and thats what's made Gore so amazing is that he can find the smallest gaps with the right timing and clear through em..even when the line can't make em for him..does Lattimore have this skill as well?
I'd definitely say so, He got to USC my soph year and more than anything what stood out is his vision. Almost never misses the hole, runs with great pad level, really good receiver and has great feet. An addition, above all else an outstanding worker.
Almost cried watching him get taking away on the cart...glad he has the willpower and drive to come back from those injuries. Can't wait to watch him after he takes over for Gore.
He's extremely gifted he just doesn't have break away speed. Other than that he's very strong and great cutting ability. Great hands for catching and good pass blocker. He will do fine in the NFL
It doesn't effect speed at all. Maybe slightly but you can retain that easily . It's just the mental aspect, most players can't come back and plant the leg and make cuts like they use too. Very difficult to return and be the same player after injuries like this.
Al Chino Bowman didn't just tear an ACL either. He tore his MCL and his ligaments. He's been working hard his entire life and this is just another obstacle.
I'm still convinced that Marcus would have been one of the best backs ever. Definitely one of the best I have ever gotten to watch with my own eyes. Man, what I would give to see him carry the ball just one more time...
I am really rooting for this guy as a Niner. I'm a Niners fan and I was ecstatic we got him. I am really looking forward to his return to a field.
Smart kid too
willis mcgahee part II. i hope he kills it and im not even a 49er or gamecock fan.
Broke my heart when he got hurt. What a great rb. Time has shown what an outstanding human he is. Forever to Thee sir
Facts he was my fav player
watching this after announcing his retirement today is very saddening, he had such incredible talent.
Imagine him today as a niner, in Kyle Shanahan’s offense😔
the future is in the 49ers hands
As a UGA fan, I remember that being a really emotional moment when he was carted off the field. I can definitely appreciate the type of player and person that he was/is. Good luck Lattimore.
Go Dawgs! Same here. I've never been a "cheer when one of the other team gets hurt" idk how anyone can. But I remember actually being devastated and very emotional. Beyond a shame
Time flies remember being in high school watching this guy….i was hard headed in the streets I could’ve went to auburn🤦🏽♂️ now all I have is old film to watch. Any young guys reading this don’t give up💯
And this is why rbs need to get paid, they got the most to lose in my opinion.
Still love this guy.
Marcus Lattimore..New Start,New Stadium and Faith in Jesus Christ Keep Working Hard #GONINERS!!
You guys have yourself one hell of an athlete! Who better to follow than Frank Gore. Go Hawks!!
Joey Monje If Marcus Lattimore Gets to a Super Bowl God Blessed him with a Gift
@@adamcarrillo2806 sadly he retired
Ok Roman between Hunter and Lattimore you better use some screen passes.
still holding out hope he takes the browns job.
Lol this didn’t age well 🤪
really excited for this guy next season! GO 49ERS!!!
Go Marcus, and go Niners!
This video is so powerful man. I have so much respect for Lattimore. He doesn't care what it takes, he's determined to get back on the field and he's gonna do work with the 49ers in the near future. He's my inspiration when it comes to Football.
Everytime I watch this video I just smile and remember the good ol days when Marcus was a gamecock
He is a TD machine, He really shines in the red zone, can't keep the guy out.
Disappointing never got to see him play for my niners for the pick we got him at even tho it didn't work out he was worth the risk he had the talent and character but at the very least he got paid for his time on the team and had insurance so good for him
Can't wait to see this guy play in a Niners uniform. Hopefully, it will be next season. He's the second best running back on the roster right now. Forget Kendall Hunter, LaMichael James and Anthony Dixon. Both those guy can't carry a full load with Gore is done. A healthy Lattimore could.

I remember getting choked up when he had that second knee injury. He had the talent to truly be a top tier NFL back. Much love and respect to you always, Marcus!
He just made it look easy a smooth runner nearly no wasted motion in his cuts its insane
Carolina fan here - Lattimore is three things - heart, talent, and determination. Hope that kid goes far!
GO REBELS!! We love you Marcus!
With this machine and Tank Carradine, 49ers are looking like absolute stars in the draft room. This is how you keep dynasty talk alive (again) in the city by the bay! Go Denver; Beat the pondchickens.
LeMichael James released today. 5 more weeks and Lattimore will be activated.
Hope so. I really hope this guy can play otherwise letting Winston go was foolish,
:(
I’m a Georgia fan. But I loved watching this man play other then against Georgia. One of the best College football backs I’d ever seen. He would of lit the NFL up for 10 or more years I swear to it. Man was a complete beast.
I cant wait till this guy tears up Seattles defense next year (:
you did a damn good job with this highlight video. Loved how you mixed commentary with music, and then the music selection mixed with the changed up highlight runs, shows redemption. Good job sir.
Not gone lie, I shed a tear watchin this.
He's pretty slow to be honest. Not great moves. Just a decent power back to be honest is how I see him.
ya that's why he was projected to go top 10 before he got injured
michael howard, i'm glad you are not the evaluator of talent for my team because you are clueless.
Jebuiz y'har
never woulda happened, not in todays nfl. You won't see a rb go in the 1st round ever again.
onthewaterr
ok...forever is a long time. We're just 2 seasons removed from 3 RBs going in the first round. But, you know best.
bull864 Just the type of RB we need(49ers). Whoever takes over for Frank Gore, if he dosnt do anynothing more than what Frank did, We are gonna be a very lucky team. All we need is one cut power backs in our system and thats what Lattimore is. :) So stoked we got him. Cant wait to see he and Carlos Hyde tote the rock for years to come!
Ima LSU fan and almost cried to see this man suffer the same injury twice and still come back. That's true hard work.
Can't wait to see him play in a Niners uniform!
this guy will probably not have all the the speed but he doesn't need it with the niners
i believe he will but i liked that comment
Hope marcus has a great future outside of football. sad to see him retire before he even stepped on the field
Lattimore is part of the future of the Niners.. earlier than sooner. Salary cap considerations and, the fact, that the Niners will need to shed some salaries to re-sign their young players... Iupati, Aldon Smith, Kaepernick, Hunter, Crabtree, Miller, T.Brown, etc... Cap casualties could possibly include.. Frank Gore.

Ran exactly like Adrian Peterson: Power and Speed all in one :(
i was at the south carolina v. tennessee game it was the most saddest moments ive seen in football I'm glad he got drafted to a good team! Good luck lattimore
I guess Marcus deserves this injury with all those ankles hes been breaking over the years haha. But seriously, I love this guy to death and I hope he becomes one of the best next year.
are u kidding me?!!! his fundamentals are flawless
Get ready NFC west teams... the Niners are going to reveal THEIR version of BEASTMODE in our new stadium.... GO NINERS!
Love watching this guy, my heart skipped a beat when he got hurt in his final college season. He would been on the same level E. James, L. Tomlinson and some other NFL greats.
What a damn shame and I really mean that.
What did that that anoucer say? "He gets short yardage better than any running back in america".... OH YEA BABY! Let's go NINERRRRRRRS! Grrrrr.....
Intro almost got me man, I remember being in 6th grade watching that live
Great guy....I was at the Gamecocks vs Vols game when he went down. That stadium was dead silence you can hear a pin drop. He's an emotional player. That scar on his knee. New start, I know Frank was a great mentor to Marcus. He bounce back from a gruesome injury....Marcus can also. New Stadium and new era, 49ers. They don't call it a comeback!!!

I also got to see his first game he played which was against georgia which he beasted it up
If there’s one player that deserved a long, distinguished nfl career, it was him. 😢 bro had the total package !
Lattimore: Frank Gore
Carlos Hyde: Arian Foster
Carlos Hyde can be out on 1st downs and Lattimore for a 3rd down or close yardage.
Too bad his knee couldn't hold up, looked up that injury and was a nasty as you will ever see. It was a cheap shop to boot, I go low all the time when I play against a larger guy, but would either trip him up, or drive through the thigh/ hip area.

I think he'll be a star in the NFL this upcoming season. Frank Gore is a boss but he can't do it forever. I'm calling it, Gore is going to get injured and Lattimore is gonna go in there and wreck shit.
Is cleared to practice with the team and join the 53 in a month. All the hard work and rehab paying off
Not a home run back...but damn hes a first down machine. Runs low and bounces off defenders!
Should be the starter next year im srry i love gore but hes done his age has finally caught up to him That run game hasnt been the same this year hopefully lattimore can bring it back. Niners should also draft a back so he doesnt take the full load try to work him in slowly
marcus did the right thing . keep your health for your children
I was promised by 49ers fans that this nigga was going to go off this year and be the next Adrian Peterson.
He never touched the field for the 49ers and he just retired but he gets paid for 6 years
If he stayed healthy with out question would have been a force in the nfl
The greatest what if play of all time…😢
hes not that impressive. not bad but hes not going to be a huge threat in the NFL.
Damn. I thought he would be part of the 49ers future. Best wish to him!
Dey didn’t wanna see him rich
One of the biggest what ifs
Such a great vid! Thanks for this.
Certain injuries are actually good, new tissue. new muscle, in some cases strengthening of bones and new calcium surrounding a break. This young man has the respect of his peers, is well-spoken, humble and can run. Best of luck and welcome to the Bay.
Go Marcus .. from a fan in Startex SC
You gotta appreciate the optimism and faith that Harbaugh has in this guy who feels he has a lot to prove, with a fire in the pit. Once his opportunity is given, he's running like hell with it.
Sad to hear he's retiring
Pulling for Marcus.
As much as I hate the 49ers because I'm a Rams fan, there are a few players on the 49ers I gotta respect. Bowman, Willis, and Lattimore. Great people
As a Niners fan, the only teams I truly hate are the Seahawks and Cowboys, and I join in on the country hating on the Pats just cuz its fun haha. Ive never been a fan of the Rams but wouldnt hate them, idk why you would hate us, despite us being in the division, just saying. Youre entitled to your opinion.

Even though Im not a Rams fan, I felt disrespected by him leaving the Rams and joining the falcons just to be on a "good" team. Look how that turned out haha.

Good luck to you guys next year, our matchups dont always look flashy on paper but the NFC West is the best in the NFL and no divisional games can be overlooked. Hawks are champs, Niners will be waiting to slam the door shut on them, Cards are hungrier than ever, and Rams are a QB away from having contending team. Your defense is awesome and I really wish you beat the Hawks that one time when they sacked Wilson like 7 times. They deserved that game. Stacy at RB is a rising star, Austin is looking more promising. Id be pretty excited if I were you!
nice video GO NINERS... This is our future everydown back when back and healthy... After the LEGEND FRANK GORE retires
Thankyou sir
dont matter height or skill matter about ur inspiration motivatin and determination when u got that nothing can stop u not even a injury
True Gore came to the niners with a big injury as well not to mention he's quite small but damn he's amazing...although he is getting older I do hope that if things work out Lattimore can be mentored by him.
Completely agree! Looking forward to the pro career!!
Think I'm a 49ers fan now
your name says it all
im a clemson fan but lattimore is all out a beast!!!! wish him luck in the NFL!
As a ducks fan I was a huge lattimore fan and was pretty sad to see his career shut down so early. Could have been an all time great. But still came back as a great human being.
someones jealous
Today is the first day he gets to practice with the team. Good luck young man and I hope its a great start to your career.
So glad that the 49ers got him. I think he can really make an impact, and I hope he proves all the teams wrong that passed on him.
inspiring video
cant wait to see this guy play for the niners. he runs with the same toughness that Gore had in his first years. So excited!
Standout player right there. SF is lucky to have him. Take Hyde in the equation and Kaepernick's scramble ability and this team is looking to be a huge contender in 2015. Hope Lattimore does get in a couple of snaps this year though, every football fan can say he deserves it!
funny how you said this only 6 days ago
Hated to see he decided to pull back on it. I stand by what I said if he had decided to not pull out though. I'm a Clemson fan as well so there is no allegiance to Lattimore except respect.
Marcus!
So sick
Hes gonna be our future running back!
For those of you guys who know Lattimore...the highlights just in this vid show some great running, juking, and faking, as well as speed really great stuff but the NFL is a big jump and all the gaps are much tighter and thats what's made Gore so amazing is that he can find the smallest gaps with the right timing and clear through em..even when the line can't make em for him..does Lattimore have this skill as well?

thanks for the reply brotha!...thats good
news i wish football season wasnt so far away!
should of never entered the fuckin draft smh
+West Coast 57257 At least he made SOME money in the NFL. College players get paid in peanuts while the schools rake in the cash.
He is the best player to come out of my highschool
@Team rocket rockin oh yeah prince miller is tuff
Almost cried watching him get taking away on the cart...glad he has the willpower and drive to come back from those injuries. Can't wait to watch him after he takes over for Gore.
Damn comments like these are like Egyptian scriptures you find in a cave
he may not be the most gifted running back but he is a HARD worker and has unbelievable heart
He's extremely gifted he just doesn't have break away speed. Other than that he's very strong and great cutting ability. Great hands for catching and good pass blocker. He will do fine in the NFL
hes good dont get me wrong and he will be great in the nfl
Blake Richardson
Don't forget his excellent vision running between the tackles.
Welcome to the 49ers Marcus
Great video!
lattimore inspiration
Can someone get back to their same top speed (40 time) after an injury like that?
Supposedly Bowman ran a faster 40 then he recorded prior to his injury
It doesn't effect speed at all. Maybe slightly but you can retain that easily . It's just the mental aspect, most players can't come back and plant the leg and make cuts like they use too. Very difficult to return and be the same player after injuries like this.
Al Chino Bowman didn't just tear an ACL either. He tore his MCL and his ligaments.
He's been working hard his entire life and this is just another obstacle.
+ReppeNThA707 that's impressive as hell man.
