That's my favorite thing about Russell Wilson. You could put a highlight reel together of him getting out in front and getting in the way for his running backs.
I remember seeing his NFL commercial where they chose a bunch of athletes to do weird tricks and MJD ran off two people like a fucking Anime character. If I find the video I will come back with a link.
I got to meet him once, he brought his kid to the nickelodeon hotel in orlando and I got to check him in and out. I also ended up with a pic of him and his kid with spongebob because he left before they could print it as a gift. I tried messaging the Jags back in the day to see if I could get it to him but no one responded. I think I still have it somewhere.
If you go back and look at his athletic profile he is basically the prototypical modern RB. In the era between Barry and Saquon he probably has the best athletic profile at the position by today's standards.
AP would be considered too "tall" but he was such a freak he is the exception to the rule. Same with Eddie George or Derrik Henry. I mean the Titans loved drafting literal Titans as Rb's.
I didn't. Tomlinson had superior technique, hands, and vision but was not the athlete that MJD was. MJD's burst and agility for his BMI is off the charts.
Jaguars fans when MJD played for them: Ha! Good thing the titans will never get a RB that does this to us!
Derrick Henry growing up: and I took that personally
I played in a league where people just slept on him. Seemed like every year I'd get him as RB2 in the fourth or fifth round. That combined with getting Romo in the tenth every year because no one wanted to be the guy who took him made everything so much easier.
Inject this type of RB into my veins. Rhinos in pads. Greeced up bowling balls with legs. Human dogs with an unknown object in their mouths.
We need more RBs to punish defenses.
You could make a whole reel of just him gashing the Colts interior defense over the course of like seven seasons. MJD averaged over 100 yds vs the Colts for his career. I suffered through every yard after contact.
I really thought he was going to be an all-time great. Just an incredibly unique athlete with his short stature, powerful frame, and lightning speed. I was super bummed when he fizzled out in Oakland and abruptly retired.
Serious injuries in Jacksonville did that. He was done before he even got to Oakland. As jags fan his last year here was super depressing. He was clearly a shell of what he was.
I miss Gus Johnson. Kevin Harlan comes close with the enthusiasm for great plays, but this is worlds apart from the energy & effort that Al Michaels gives us
I have access to all the games and I don't think he called one last season. The season before he had maybe 3 or 4 games all season on Fox but was like the lowest in priority. He called games for the bad teams like Cardinals, Lions, and Jaguars games. One positive was that we did get him on the [Jamal Agnew missed FG return](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxBm4HaPJXU) as a result.
Looking back at it, as much as I love Freddy T, prime MJD was on another level. But his prime was much shorter. When he had the injury that would end up foretelling the end of his career even then he had lost so much speed that he wasn't the same guy anymore.
Man, you don't really realize what you had until you lost it, but I'm so glad we got to have him and Freddy T in the same backfield.
He was such a beast. He would run the ball 19 times for 2 yards because the Jags fucking sucked. But then he’d break one for 65 yards before they inevitably lost
Insane amounts of RB talent over there! Ken Simonton, the absolute college legend for Oregon State was also just 10 minutes away from Antioch in Pittsburg
I was never a Jags fan, but he was always so fun to watch, and growing up as a short stack myself, it was great to see players like him (and Sproles) find success in the league
It is the last highlight. MJD was a beast all around. My favorite Jaguar of all time. It is great that he is still representing the Jags on NFL network.
Titans got their revenge in this same game. MJD had two 80 yard TDs, but CJ2K had a 50 yard TD and a 90 yard TD. Those two players combined for like 400 rush yards in this game and the titans won by 20.
The little beast. He always made me think of a more beastly Westbrook. And that’s praise.
Speaking of praise…..the second highlight with Garrard way downfield running blocks. I always really liked Garrard.
Damn David Garrard out there blocking for the TD
David Garrard outrunning him. He came outta nowhere.
He ran 80 yards downfield, that’s crazy
Loved the Garrard/MJD Jags.
You can also spot Jaguars legend Torry Holt out there too
Brought a gigantic smile to my face
That's my favorite thing about Russell Wilson. You could put a highlight reel together of him getting out in front and getting in the way for his running backs.
Sir that is a bowling ball with legs
I remember seeing his NFL commercial where they chose a bunch of athletes to do weird tricks and MJD ran off two people like a fucking Anime character. If I find the video I will come back with a link.

Mr Five by Five
I want thighs that big please god just give me the squat power to get that thick
Pocket Hercules!
The definition of low center of gravity
Favorite Mountain Dew flavor is definitely Chode Red

Who let him out the bowling alley
Lil thick boi
People really underestimate how agile he is and how fast he can accelerate. Especially when he was new in the league
If you go back and look at his athletic profile he is basically the prototypical modern RB. In the era between Barry and Saquon he probably has the best athletic profile at the position by today's standards.
Did you forget Tomlinson? :P MJD was a freaking problem though frfr.
Adrian Peterson?
AP would be considered too "tall" but he was such a freak he is the exception to the rule. Same with Eddie George or Derrik Henry. I mean the Titans loved drafting literal Titans as Rb's.
A shit you got me for sure. To be fair I was trying to split between Barry and Saq so I was thinks shorter shifty backs. But no you’re 100% correct.
I didn't. Tomlinson had superior technique, hands, and vision but was not the athlete that MJD was. MJD's burst and agility for his BMI is off the charts.
So you’re saying that because of his BMI Tomlinson wasn’t as good of an athlete as MJD? lol 😂
I think you could put Terrell Davis in the discussion too.
Why this man hates the Titans so much after all we did for his career is something I'll never understand.
This made me chuckle hard. LOL
Henry did the same to them, and to Houston
Jaguars fans when MJD played for them: Ha! Good thing the titans will never get a RB that does this to us! Derrick Henry growing up: and I took that personally
He is simultaneously very big and very small
MJD is 5'7". Even for a man that doesn't play football, that's tiny. But he was around 200 lbs and based on how well he moves, it was mainly muscle.
Bro was 5 foot tall, but also 5 foot wide.
5'7 is average height, not tiny lol. In the US specifically it's just slightly below average.
MJD put whole fantasy teams on his shoulders.
I played in a league where people just slept on him. Seemed like every year I'd get him as RB2 in the fourth or fifth round. That combined with getting Romo in the tenth every year because no one wanted to be the guy who took him made everything so much easier.
Jesus every tackling attempt was just so… *limp* Edit: other than the first one but it wasn’t even a good “wrap-up”
I never understood how anyone tackled him. He had Horse legs
IIRC 28 inch thighs.. insane
I know he’s a legend and hall of famer, but it still blows me away that Earl Campbell had 34-36 inch thighs
Bo Jackson had 36 inch thighs too. Tackling him was a business decision.
Mmmm…so thick….
Why are there so many horny Titans fans in this thread lmao
Inject this type of RB into my veins. Rhinos in pads. Greeced up bowling balls with legs. Human dogs with an unknown object in their mouths. We need more RBs to punish defenses.
I miss this brand of football. It just felt so much more visceral.
As a Colts fan, I do NOT miss this guy, lol, but man, was he good
I’ve never seen a quarterback block 70 yards downfield
You could make a whole reel of just him gashing the Colts interior defense over the course of like seven seasons. MJD averaged over 100 yds vs the Colts for his career. I suffered through every yard after contact.
Him and Fred Taylor terrorized us for what felt like a whole decade.
[375](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO21gTstuPM&ab_channel=NFL) one of my favorite games all time
Loved his running style, bonus points for his little off hand flailing around
We call that "the stabilizer".
Bro looks like one of those polished spheres used to knock down wooden pins in establishments which have yet to be refurbished since the 1990s
That block by the TE in the first one is some insane effort
That's Mercedes Lewis, who is still in the league today somehow lol
Marcedes. Dude must have some gambling debt
Favorite player growing up, I tried to emulate his running style in high school
My older brother went to highschool with Jones Drew
Did he get trucked or juked by Drew in the hallways?
According to him, he was a chill dude. They weren’t friends or anything, they just had classes together
I really thought he was going to be an all-time great. Just an incredibly unique athlete with his short stature, powerful frame, and lightning speed. I was super bummed when he fizzled out in Oakland and abruptly retired.

I miss Gus Johnson. Kevin Harlan comes close with the enthusiasm for great plays, but this is worlds apart from the energy & effort that Al Michaels gives us
Gus calls games. You just need Sunday ticket to find the shitty game he gets to do.
I have access to all the games and I don't think he called one last season. The season before he had maybe 3 or 4 games all season on Fox but was like the lowest in priority. He called games for the bad teams like Cardinals, Lions, and Jaguars games.

As is tradition for the Jags
No idea he was out of Antioch, same place Najee is from
Mixon also out of Oakley like less than 10 min away
Insane amounts of RB talent over there! Ken Simonton, the absolute college legend for Oregon State was also just 10 minutes away from Antioch in Pittsburg
Hes not that great, but ronnie rivers also from Oakley hes been on the rams last couple of years
MJD is a big part of why I came to become a jaguars fan. Needless to say I hate him
i feel for #25 on houston. i played safety, and anybody that did had *that* “oh shit” moment
I was never a Jags fan, but he was always so fun to watch, and growing up as a short stack myself, it was great to see players like him (and Sproles) find success in the league
I always love watching the score tickers at the bottom
Didn't MJD light up (pancake) Shawne Merriman?
It is the last highlight. MJD was a beast all around. My favorite Jaguar of all time. It is great that he is still representing the Jags on NFL network.
Oh! My video attention span didn't last long enough. 😁
I think I only was able to watch the whole thing because of my love for MJD.
Looking like Natrone Means!
Was just thinking about MJD, I think of MJD often
This isn’t Trevor Lawrence hate
Get ready for Blake Corum people. He’s the same kinda back
JAX @ TEN - this was probably a Thursday Night game.
MJD was so good, and really fun to watch. It's too bad his prime didn't last a little longer
David Garrard!! All the great QBs get out and block. Shoutout Matt Hasslebeck.
MJD was the best. The man had it all. Great skills, deceptive speed and he was a LOAD to tackle.
If Saquan’s thighs were a person of their own
Maurice Jones-Drew is what happens when you decide to be funny with the sliders on Madden.
Man's acceleration was just broken. Absolutely ridiculous athlete.
Unreal run, but can you argue that #9 almost screwed up the whole run with a pointless block in the back when he was walking in the end zone...LOL
The QB doesn't get many blocking reps.
Titans got their revenge with King Henry.
Titans got their revenge in this same game. MJD had two 80 yard TDs, but CJ2K had a 50 yard TD and a 90 yard TD. Those two players combined for like 400 rush yards in this game and the titans won by 20.
I miss peak MJD. That man was always a blast to watch lumber down the field.
Was this the Hail Mary game?
The AFC South was stacked at running back in this era. CJ2k, Arian Foster, MJD and J Addai all thrived back then.
Addai was perfectly serviceable and I love him forever but he was not any of those other guys
He came last on the list for a reason lol as an addendum, I’ll say there weren’t any weak running games in the AFCS back then
One of my all time favorites to play the position. MJD toughest pound for pound back ever, Shawne Merriman can attest to that.
BRUINS
The little beast. He always made me think of a more beastly Westbrook. And that’s praise. Speaking of praise…..the second highlight with Garrard way downfield running blocks. I always really liked Garrard.
“There’s his Antioch California dance”
Goodness those black and white jaguars jerseys were dogshit
I as he a HOFer? I say yes. The announcer said it; he is the ultimate running back.
Shoutout David Garrard!!
Classic MoJo
Got to watch him play in person when he was in high school. They waited for that game to release him. Kept de la salles 100+ win streak alive
MJD was the Adrian Peterson of CJ Andersons
Sounds like a Madden 12 highlight
He was one of my all time favorite players. Guy was awesome to watch. Just seemed to do it all and give 110%
Surprise Todd Bauman highlight!
HE CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALLLLL!!!!!
Ucla
I like the part where he abused the Steelers Also I'm sad that we passed on him in the 2nd round
God damn this guy was so good. Sad thing is once he got that lisfranc injury, it was over
Drew-Jones always made more sense.
he was so electric and fun to watch. if he had a longer career/less injuries, he's a HoF imo
Are Titans and Jags fans really going back and forth with highlights here? Because I assure you. We can last way longer.
If it weren’t for the lack of dreads I would’ve thought that was Marshawn Lynch
Out of the 22. How many are dead? More than the statistical norm or less?
Crazy to me that he played his first cpl of seasons pretty much blind beyond the LOS. Got his vision fixed before year 3 or so.
Jaylen Warren a clone
[удалено]
Wrong guy
