With the NFL playoffs
quickly approaching I’ve began to discuss who I think will win the super
bowl amongst friends of mine and I usually bring up the Denver
Broncos Peyton Manning is playing like an MVP. Which made me think
about the Broncos super bowls in the 90's and the MVP Players on it.
Terrell Davis in particular who was so dominant is the subject of
today’s throwback Thursday.
He was one of those guys
that when you look on the back of his topps football card and saw
where he got drafted you would be shocked that he was a 6th
round pick. If you look further down that card you would see that he
was a straight up beast and the best Running back in the NFL for a
little bit. He was an impact from day 1 in his rookie season in 1995
he became the lowest drafted Running back ever to gain 1,000 yards in
a season with 1,117 yards and 7 touchdowns. Two years later he found
himself with 157 yards and three touchdowns in one of the greatest
Performances in super bowl history. In the span of 2 years he went
from 6th round draft pick to Super bowl MVP, I Know it's
crazy!
It gets better though in
the following season of 1998 he went out and decided to dominate the
game like few running backs ever have. He joined the exclusive 2,000
yard club rushing for 2,008 yards and score 21 touchdowns. He was the
focal point for a Bronco team that won a 2nd straight
Super bowl. With A 2,000 Yard rushing season, A rushing title, MVP
and Super Bowl MVP and 1,000 yard seasons all I have to say is
“SCOUTS DO YOUR HOMEWORK”. It may have only been 7 season but
“T.D” left his mark on the league.
