  • One of the greatest runners in Cowboys history (some think he is the best runner). Dorsett had plenty of speed to create long, breakaway runs. Also had the moves to leave defenders grasping at air. Dorsett won the Heisman Trophy with Pittsburgh in 1976, then got drafted by the Cowboys in 1977. He didn't start right away, but won the NFL Rookie of the Year along with a Super Bowl.
    Dorsett ran for over 1,000 yards eight times in his career and set a record against the Vikings with a 99 yard touchdown run. He ran for almost 13,000 yards and scored 90 touchdowns in his career. Biggest knock on him was the fumbling; he had as many fumbles (90) as he did touchdowns (90) in his career. He was a 1x First Team All Pro, 4x Pro Bowler, and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

    In my opinion and in all of sports ( thru out history as well ), TD is THE most beautiful runner EVER....GOD, how I wish I could run like him..

      I can respect that, but I've seen interviews from other HOF RB from Jim Brown to Walter Payton and the say Gale Sayers was the most beautiful runner ever. I also think that TD was a better RB than Emmitt Smith. My opinion.

    He is my favorite football player of all time! Once my late father turned on the TV set in the fall of 1979 & I saw the Dallas Cowboys for the first time ever I was in love with them right then & there. But when I saw #33 running with the football I thought that he was a God! Tony Dorsett became my all time favorite football player right then & there. That was 45 years ago. I have been a Dallas Cowboys fan since then but I had fallen in love with how Tony Dorsett played the game of football right then and there. 99 yards & a half baby! That record will never be broken! You are the man Tony!

    He set the collegiate rushing record at a time when they didn’t count your bowl game stats. And Ricky Williams broke his record during the regular season. When they only played 10 or 11 regular season games. That’s why I will always have mad respect for those two accomplishments.

      Anthony Dorsett Sr. will always be my favorite running back! My Dad made it look easy, he didn't have the struggle runs. Struggle runs are dragging people, getting hit by every player on defense, the punishing runs that hurt the defense and punish the back in the process. I could talk for days about my Dad, he still has moves & speed today. ❤️💪🏾💯

    Slow motion highlights don't do justice to Dorsett, Barry Sanders, or Dan Marino.
    When you see them in real speed, it's jaw dropping. Tons of younger folks don't realize their skills or why they are a big deal. It should be required viewing.

  • @coolhand1005
    @coolhand1005 10 днів тому

    TD, Earl & Walter were ALWAYS my favorites from that era !!!!! In that era, you had to have a great RB to have any kind of offense because the passing game wasn't that dominant. Teams ran the ball far more in the mid-late 1970's & early 80's. Passing game was liberalized in the late 70's with the "Mel Blount" rule.

      I met him in 1978 when I was starting my senior year in high school. Jay saldi ran a summer camp at briarcliff high school in westchester county ny and Tony was there one day running 40s with us kids. I was 5’11” 180 and he was about my height and maybe 5-10 pounds bigger. He was at the 40 when I was passing the 30 haha. Payton was built different. 5’10” but 205-210. A couple steps slower than dorsett though
