EDGE was a bad motor scooter. A definite HOFer and needs to get there pronto. Maybe they will have Peyton induct him. Edge was one of the finest RB'S coming out of college I've ever seen. Something truly special was E. J.
Know running back kept the chains moving like EJ He understood what he had to do as far as what his role was, the most proficient running back as you'll ever see in every category. If you're not convinced rushing 12264 yards rushing 3364yrds catching.
All of these years later, watching Edge now, he does remind you of Barry Sanders. His change of direction and acceleration is just sick! If not for that bullshit knee injury in KC, Edge would have started off his career with 3 straight seasons as the league's rushing leader and I firmly believe to this day, Edge would been the all-time yards leader today. Thrilled that this dude finally got into the Hall!!!
I remember that year. Colts fans didn't know what to expect after trading Faulk to the Rams then surprising everybody in the draft picking Edge over Ricky Williams.
I was too young to really remember him playing, so I can't say I really fully understood what the hype surrounding him was about, talking with other people who had. Seeing this, I understand perfectly. Fantastic running back, especially in this, his rookie year!
Think his rookie year was good? His second year he rushed for 1700+. He won the rushing title both of those first years. His third year probably would've been as good but that's when he blew out his acl. He still had two more seasons 1500+ with the colts. 3 seasons with 2000+ all purpose. The guy was a phenom.
This was fun to watch..loved E James back in the day..seeing him and Peyton get some good chemistry together put a smile on my face every Sunday...and Edgerrin was such a good dude as well..hope he makes it into the Hall of Fame...dont know if he had HOF numbers..dude was a complete player..run it..catch it..block when needed..put him in Canton...))
I was piss when the colts traded marshall and I'm like who in the hell is James, but after seeing him in his rookie year I was like good trade Edge was a Beast I hated that he got hurt and the colts traded him the year before they won the super bowl Edge was the truth.My favorite colt of all time.
The man was a beast with the ball in his hands made me forget all about Faulk and i was piss when we traded him for Edgerin but how soon i forgot about him thank you Edgerin.congratulations on ur HOF selection.
I think you did an excellent job. I hope you'll put Year 2 of EJ(1700 + yards) online. The NFL can not ignore this athlete. He had been in the HOF since his first year of eligiblity.
Pre-ACL James was simply incredible. He was still great after the ACL, but this version of Edge had a burst and explosion he lacked after tearing his ACL
I'm so glad we drafted him over Ricky Williams. I mean Ricky was one hell of a talent but everything he could do, Edge could do better. Edge had that "U" mentality and came to work everyday. On and off the field. And after all that razzle dazzle, power running, catching everything thrown his way, he now gets to sit comfortably and deservingly alongside the great running backs this game has ever seen. When watching him I was on "the edge" of my seat. Welcome to Canton baby!!!
@@KB-kw8ni that ain't no joke man. Damn shame. It shouldn't matter what dude had in his mouth or what he wore or how he talked. Only thing that should matter is what he did between the lines. Edge was one of the most versatile backs the league has seen. 11th all-time leading rusher at the time of his retirement and 15th all-time on the TD scoring list. If he doesn't tear his ACL then personally I think he would've continued to wow the stat line and fans alike.
Would have been interesting to see how things would have turned out if peyton, marvin, edge. Would have started out with dungy and that 06 colts playoff defense. Either way edge definitely was a special player.
Best running back ever..had not been 4 injuries and my Colts would have broke bread wit him it would have been a much better team..I'm jus say'n.....I kno his career wasn't as long as sum but he is really not any other..@EJ mad love 4 this dude...
I'm a huge Colts fan and I don't remember him having that type of agility. I remember his short pass game and then power moves. For like 5-6 years straight he had the most 5-7 yard carries. They just couldn't bring him down. That's what I remember, Edge pushing piles.
He lost speed and agility after his tore his ACL in his third season. Still, he never lost that vision, balance and power. Still remmeber him running well asa Cardinal late in his career.
Just a thought you should started off with his first pre season game agai st the Saints and the "they cant stop me out here" to the crowd cuz thats when i was like we got somethin here

Well he's in now
Colts went from 3-13 to 13-3 in Edge's Rookie Year. I went to a lot of these games and it was a fun team to watch.

And thank god we took Edgerrin
Alex Juarez Facts.
Probably the 2nd greatest draft choice the franchise ever made, only behind drafting Peyton over Ryan Leaf just a year before.

Nice vid!!! He deserves to be in the HOF.
100%
Glad he’s in.

Manning said he was his favorite teammate of all time.

Miss watching him play! That power and agility. He was incredible.

I miss these old colts teams. This was just the start of some special runs and it was great to watch. These teams should’ve won super bowls
Amazing that he was so much more dynamic before his injury, and yet he was still a Hall of Famer.
Imagine James running behind Big Q. Damn that would be a sight to behold.
Fun to watch that team
I think you did an excellent job. I hope you'll put Year 2 of EJ(1700 + yards) online. The NFL can not ignore this athlete. He had been in the HOF since his first year of eligiblity.
I will eventually
Can you put some hi-game of the 2000 season on y-tube?
One the top 5 RB all time. No debate.he had all the tools.
The original beast mode
Congrats to the EDGE on HOF
Fav running back of all time. Incredible. You should do a video on his second year highlights. That guy was a machine.
I definitely will some day
Pre-ACL James was simply incredible. He was still great after the ACL, but this version of Edge had a burst and explosion he lacked after tearing his ACL
Wow, just made it look effortless
I see you Collin putting in that work 👀
I remember complaining about James being a rookie and destroying My Bills.....Turned out to be a fringe HOF.
He was so damn good that he rushed for 1500 yards even after having his knee completely destroyed....11:30 tells you everything you need to know
I'm so glad we drafted him over Ricky Williams. I mean Ricky was one hell of a talent but everything he could do, Edge could do better. Edge had that "U" mentality and came to work everyday. On and off the field. And after all that razzle dazzle, power running, catching everything thrown his way, he now gets to sit comfortably and deservingly alongside the great running backs this game has ever seen.

Welcome to Canton baby!!!
The James Train
Someone please explain to me how there are at least five backs in the HOF with fewer rushing yards, but EJ still isn't in???
Geek Verve Cuz the HOF voters are stupid.

Man I miss watching him play.

how many times can i like this vid
Edgerrin rookie year > Saquan rookie year
Troy28 Easily. People were calling the Colts dumb for taking him > Williams.
Thank u Ej for the thing's u did in Indy u deserve to be in the HOF hands down

I agree 100%
Edge was the man!!!
Im convinced he and ricky Williams are the same person lol.
I'm a huge Colts fan and I don't remember him having that type of agility. I remember his short pass game and then power moves. For like 5-6 years straight he had the most 5-7 yard carries. They just couldn't bring him down. That's what I remember, Edge pushing piles.

You didn't watch I guess
Just a thought you should started off with his first pre season game agai st the Saints and the "they cant stop me out here" to the crowd cuz thats when i was like we got somethin here
Ikr? He started that game off with two double-digit runs.
funney how many times you hear the game callers compair Edge to berry sanders
Thanks for this video guy!!!colts french fan 💪🏻
EDGE! Definition of "All-purpose". Get em in the HOF!
My FAVORITEST RB and person. PEYTON MANNING and LJ8 rounds out my top 3..n no specific order..I'm jus say'n..can't forgot bout TONY DORSETT..
Representing the "U".
THE U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not gonna lie .. I wanted Ricky Williams in the ‘99 draft but things worked out just fine 🏈 #stampedeblue
lol Jeff Saturday as a full back lol OP!
boy pepole forget how damn good edge was...
Just like LT without the visor just ain't the same lml but I'll take the highlights.
he wears a visor later on in his career though
He was a better Ricky Watters, and Ricky was a great back!
Original BeastMode
Jason Holland fuck no 😂😂😂 Earl Campbell of my dads era was the original shit Craig iron head Hayward was even better at beast mode runs
That's what Edge was a bigger stronger Marshall Fault.
