Man. Ricky befriending a legendary running back of a completely different era was awesome. You can tell he really looked up to him. That was awesome the way he honored him and his family there in Dallas. Ricky was a good dude man. I still think he could have been one of the all time greats if hed wanted to. He certainly gave it everything he had in college and i think making it to the nfl was all he really wanted to do. After that he had nothing to really strive for. His is a name that'll be remembered forever though, especially by longhorns fans and the fans of teams that he played. What a legend!
He was an all time great. He had crazy stats in college and pro football. Over 10k in the nfl is legendary for a running back. Ricky is a top 3 running back ever at every level. His dolphins year was legendary the first two years.
He said “When I wore #37 the Heisman thoughts came second.” The irony is that the class and respect he showed by doing that bumped him way up in the Heisman race
True story. My dad wasn't around and I felt indifferent about the other kids and their dads, so I said this man was my Dad. Other 2nd graders were amazaed. Little ole bitty 2nd graders know who he was lmao
I was at that A&M game that Ricky broke the record, such a great moment that will live in my memory as long as I'm alive. Ricky will always be my sports hero.
Ricky Williams is a legion i was 8 year old when Ricky played at Texas I'm a big Mack brown fan he coach the north Carolina tar heels football team outstanding coach thanks
We're pretty close in age. I was 11. My cousin was a huge Ricky williams fan and he believed the saints made the best move ever to draft him 😂. He even started buying saints jerseys just because Ricky went there. Lol. He did the same when he went to the dolphins.
Stories like Williams and his relationship with Doak Walker along with his tribute to him do not get the coverage they deserve. Our media seems to much more inclined to seek out the negative stories rather than ones like this that are fine examples of the goodness of man.
Exactly. That was incredible examples of both men. They were able to recognize each other's greatness and see past eras. Then the way Ricky honored him and his family after he passed away was amazing.
@knightfd yep. Like 66 tds and 8 reception tds too. Not bad at all. 2002 he rushed for over 1800 yards and 16 tds. That was his first season with the dolphins.
It wasn't just blacks. They'd tell white guys the same. The idea of all American boys were clean cut. Even in the 80s when long hair was common, they wanted people to keep their hair short.
It wasn’t acceptable for players to have long hair in those days. Same with white kids. Why is everyone’s first move to cry “racism” nowadays?? Where is that supposed to get you??
Bro how is RW so forgotten about?? He should be right there in the convo with Reggie, Barry, Bo, Dickerson, Etc. Theres a bunch of "forgotten" college running backs. Deuce Mcallister, Cadillac Williams, Shawn Alexander, Kevin Smith, I could go on all day but Ricky should arguably be above any of them as far as talent goes.
It would have been so awesome if Ricky Williams played in the 04 and 05 Season with Vince Young. They would have been the ultimate power house team in that era.
Texas starting getting better recruiting classes after this year. Second favorite college running back of all time. Reggie Bush been number one of course.
I hope so..I'm looking forward to seeing that documentary..The 2008 team was actually better..Nobody will ever know how that BCS championship game vs. Alabama could've gone if Colt McCoy was healthy..To be honest, I thought Alabama was the more complete and better team..
@@fiesta061000 nobody knows how great the '64 team was either. Texas finished with one loss, to Arkansas, 14 to 13. Alabama was Number 1, and Texas played them in the Orange Bowl. None of the media gave Texas a chance to stand up to 'Bama. Texas was ahead 21-0 at the half. At the end Joe Namath later the NY Jets Super Bowl winning QB tried a sneak to get a first down and keep their drive alive to score, but All American middle line backer Tommy Nobis stopped Namath short. The Longhorns took over and won 21 to 17. Horns were the Jan 1st, 1965 Orange Bowl Champs over #1 Alabama. In those days, the Orange Bowl was almost like the Rose Bowl. Arkansas took all the glory after Texas beat Alabama for them. Like I said, nobody knows how good the '64 Horns were.
I never knew Ricky Williams played in the minor leagues and was drafted by the Phillies out of high school. I'm still trying to figure out how he blew his $50,000 signing bonus he got in 1995 before he finished college
3 QB's taken ahead of him. McNabb took the Eagles to a Super Bowl. RB Edgerrin James is in the HoF. Not sure how Williams would have fared in Cleveland.
Imagine a league discarding their veteran stars for brain disease. Then penalizing a current star player for smoking Marijuana, which would could potentially help the player deal with playing trauma.
Hate to say it but if they dont lose to tech...they face KSU in the title game. KSU wins and goes to play for the natl title. Probably wins and big 12 gets the title that year.
Ricky was Awesome. But the hair situation he learned a lesson in the NFL when he played for Miami. Meaning when he was getting tackled, they pulled his dreads out the next week he had a hair cut 😂. Suck he left the NFL Because of smoking weed.

@@rw0050he was not robbed. Reggie Bush was just a more electric player that year and had the stats to also back it up. In the end Vince got his national title that year.
@@Lex_Lugar Earl Campbell is known as "The Tyler Rose". Houston Oilers. First ultimate power running back post Jim Brown. His jersey got shredded for trucking so hard. The Daryl Dawkins of football, except there's footage on him.
*Ricky has one problem that he will never overcome. He will always be in Earl Campbell's Shadow due to the fact Earl is a Texan and Ricky is not. And the fact that Earl had a lot better NFL Career, also with a Texas Team plays into Ricky never leaving the shadow.*
Ricky Williams: 10,009 Rushing Yards and 74 TD's in NFL. Earl Campbell: 9,407 Rushing Yards and 74 TD's in NFL.. How exactly did earl have "a lot better NFL career"?? Plus Ricky left the NFL in the prime of his career and a was a role player for the last couple years in his career. *Oh and Ricky had over 2,000 receiving yards in his NFL career when Earl didn't even break 900. Ricky had a much better NFL career, Stats dont lie.
because people always talk about the monster that Earl was...you dont hear squat about ricky....plus ricky didnt retire, he quit to smoke dope with the boyz...and mack stinks...he left unc in middle of the night...and came back years later too soft to coach....needs to get out !
Halfway through the video, so far he’s wrecked New Mexico State, rice, Iowa state, and smu…I didn’t realize he racked up all his yards against cupcakes, tell me he has some success against actual schools…
That's because he's a bigger person then you. I hope your making the same comment on Mike Tyson videos in regards to how he handles his championship belts
One of the funnest seasons I ever had as a longtime Longhorn fan. All due to Ricky Williams aka :the Texas Tornado"
I sat in my college dorm room every weekend my freshman year and watch Rickey Williams break the record and win the Heisman
Oh you mean from Texas Tech? Yea he was good. lol jk

Still get chills watching Ricky break the record. That back to back OK State and Texas Tech games have alway been pains to us!! Always came to play.
One of the epic players of the Texas longhorns football team. He had the same running style, like Earl Campbell.
Most definitely. In my lifetime the two sitting atop that group are Ricky Williams and Vince Young.
Earl is in a wheelchair
My favorite rb of all time. Also the reason the Longhorns are still my favorite college team.
Amen ! If I was a great football player playing for UT I would be his fullback. Playing back up for him.
Same
Google PREIST HOLMES ...and there IS a dude named EARL CAMPBELL ran for them there Longhorns ....and D'Onta Foreman ...and BIJAN!

Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams won Heisman trophies for the longhorns.
Vince young should have
@@JoshuaTraffanstedt it went to Reggie bush

I’m lsu fan and this is the best rb ever in cfb
He was fast and great at college. He was heading to score lots of touchdowns for the longhorns.
He’s a great dude! Great player and great Longhorn! HookEm!
A legend was born that season. Special times

He also had a good career in the NFL. He was good for the saints and the dolphins.
Sat out basically 2 seasons & still rushed for 10,000 yards in his career.
@knightfd yep. Like 66 tds and 8 reception tds too. Not bad at all. 2002 he rushed for over 1800 yards and 16 tds. That was his first season with the dolphins.
I was at every UT v A&M game during Ricky’s career. What a phenomenal athlete
Say whatever you want about Ricky Williams the person but on the field, one of the best to play the game in college. He and Ladainian Tomlinson
Still cant believe how racist it was to actually tell a kid they have to cut their natural hair. Im so glad ricky DID NOT cut his hair!
Long hair wasn't allowed on white kids either
It wasn't just blacks. They'd tell white guys the same. The idea of all American boys were clean cut. Even in the 80s when long hair was common, they wanted people to keep their hair short.

White kids were told the same. The Yankees don’t allow long hair/facial hair on any players…race had nothing to do with it, snowflake.
Before the portal. What a great time
This was a special time in college football.
Hung out with Ricky and John Glenn on the sidelines of the 99 Fiesta Bowl, it's was very interesting.

He's not forgotten. Wth? Everyone alive at the time knows exactly who Ricky Williams is. Maybe kids don't know, but they don't know anything.
And I haven't forgotten any of those other guys either. That's my generation of players.
One of the most misunderstood human beings ever.
He got enlightened.

They was top 10 teams every week

Texas is about to be a problem for a good while in the college playoff.
Rickey, A billion dollar talent that was a nightmare to coach. Wonder how it would have went if he had a Joe Paterno type coach.

That's a great o-line.
