Fun Fact: Barry Sanders had more rushing yards in his 1997 season (2,053) than Trent Richardson in his whole career (2,032)
I thought Derrick Henry was going to be like Trent but he’s proving me wrong now

"He was also a tenacious tackler"
Shows clip of Night Train Lane decapitating a young child
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you don't see tackles like that any more in the nfl
wonder if he got flagged for unnecessary roughness or not
That was one of the best tackles ive ever seen 🤣
Time stamp?
That Bears blocking on the Hester FG return against the Giants is a thing of beauty.
I love the drop just as 92 levels a guy to set Hester free...
hunter fucking boys up lmao
@@tanecare man him urlacher and Briggs were a fun trio to watch
You love to see it
@@JohnNiiggingtona really great team, especially on defense. Too much Rex grossman to be the best tho
I know LT had his “demons”, but man was he dominating. Intensity and athleticism was unparalleled
Cocaine will do that to ya
That man was a demon on the field!
@@rockfresh5359 if anything cocaine would have limited him. Imagine how good he would be if constantly worked on himself athletic wise and mentally.
@@hoff4301 dude coke numbs yo body that's how dude layed those hits and ran faster haha it was a boost he smoked it and snorted it😂🤣💯🔥
Dude said “demons” like his Demons weren’t Crack lmao
Damn this was actually pretty quick, hopefully Khalil Mack gets a mention, along with Luke Kuechly
Shockingly neither somehow didn't get one
@@shabberplasm32 Kuechly got mentioned
Ronnie Lott is perhaps the biggest reason why the 49ers were a dynasty aside from Montana and Walsh.
No love for Singletary?
@Boss Killa rice was there 2 of montana’s 4 super bowl but has 3 in 49 jersey
@Boss Killa until lott went to raiders in 90?... think it was and they won superbowl in 94 when they got Dion to stop Michael Irvin...he held Irvin to 1 catch 4 yards that nfc championship and they won there 5th superbowl stopping dallas from 3 peating. Seeing how San Diego was the opponent the mfc championship winner was basically superbowl champ and then Dallas signed Dion and the won it again so he def didnt contribute to much because it was basically 50/50 lol
ronnie lott’s granddaughter used to be my f buddy for 3 years
I forgot all about The Freak. He was an absolute animal his first couple years in the league, loved watching him play.
When I first saw this video pop up, he's the first person that came to mind. 14.5 sacks and EIGHT forced fumbles, that's insane.
Devin Hester’s rookie season single handedly changed how we perceive return men for the rest of the leagues history. Teams were forced to kick the ball away from a rookie lol
Best returner in history, no doubt. People never thought they’d be scared of a return man lol. Need to make a meme that makes you pick between Derrick Henry and prime devin Hester 😂
Dude would have had twice as many return touchdowns as he did if teams didn't start kicking away from him lol
Not talked about enough, but at that time the NFL was talking about rules changes to help return teams because kick returns had fallen off after Donte Hall was done. In fact, Hall was one of the only guys making returns. Then we got Hester and Josh Cribbs.
Also, we had that life threatening and career ending injury to the Bills player and the NFL has turned 180 degrees and has been trying to take kick returns out of the game by increasing the starting spot of a touch back to the 25 and making the kickoff shorter by moving it from the 30 to the 35 to increase the chances of a no contact touch back.
At some point the NFL needs to get rid of the kickoff altogether and replace it with a choice to give the ball to the other team at the 25 or to go for it (instead of an inside kick) with maybe a 4th and 15 from their 30 or 35 yard line.
@@Xplayer007 he's now a hall of famer as a pr
@@thepubknight6144 He’s in the Bears Hall of Fame but in my opinion he got snubbed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame committee. I hate this idea of players who spent most of their career on special teams not being given fair consideration for the HOF. If you’re the best player ever at a certain position, you deserve to be enshrined into Canton. It’s why Ray Guy is in the HOF, it’s why Adam Vinatieri will also get his gold jacket someday as well. Devin Hester and that Bears defense pretty much carried them all the way to the Super Bowl in 2006. It wasn’t just taking a kickoff or punt return all the way for a touchdown, it was also consistently setting the offense up in great field position. That won so many games for them.
For those who think special teams isn’t all that important, consider this: in 2010, the San Diego Chargers had the top ranked offense and top ranked defense in the league. They went 9-7 and missed the playoffs. Why? Because their special teams was the worst in the NFL. Just imagine how far that team could’ve gone if they had a Devin Hester as a return specialist.
Before LT teams would just put a running back out to block. LT changed that way of thinking. Teams started to use more tight ends in their blocking schemes in the subsequent years. He changed the game.
Indeed LT changed how offenses operated forever after him best defender of all time hands down no one wrecked other teams like LT did.
@@jonruger
It really is hard to point to another guy. Reggie was amazing, but didn’t exactly “change the game”🤔
Imagine being the best defensive player as a rookie, yeah LT was something else
Best player period
@@barrymccockiner9816yeah he should have mvp as well honestly
devin hester is one of the funnest players i’ve watched, he was a mediocre wr at most but his returning ability was unbelievable 🙌🏾
I dont think he was even bad at wide out he prolly wouldve lit it up if he had an offensive minded coach in his prime.
@Badd Newz wym? He wasnt bad when he was at the slot
@Badd Newz oh yeah
@@dylanschoepf4322 he would’ve fit in so well with the current chiefs lol
@Badd Newz quite a few DBs where great return men.

There were some TANKS on that Hester field goal team. 😂 The blocks were incredible like they literally got blasted 😂
It's worth mentioning that Leighton Vander-Esch was also a rookie with Leonard. League was clearly NOT ready for those two.
Yes, as were upwards of 300 other players. What a draft class 2018 was man
That class had Leonard, Leighton vander-esch and the criminally underrated roquan smith all in the same class it’s ridiculous what a good middle linebacker class that was
Ken Riley should be worth mentioning for corners as well. 65 career interceptions still top 5 all time and he sadly isn't in the Hall of Fame.
I just want to say how well researched and thought out your videos are, with great production value. Keep up the great work!
Your videos are really underrated, I enjoy them very much, thank you for your work.
Maybe the best "best of" of all.
Glad I'm still subbed. The current NFL forfeited my continued support, but I love this throwback material intensely.
KTO a few days from now: best special team rookie ever
Hester fs
You forgot to mention Aldon Smith, he was absolutely dominant for the 49ers in 2011 and was part of the reason why they went 13-3 that year
and Patrick Willis
@@naveensatija7257 Jevon Kearse had 14.5 sacks in 1999 as a rookie
I cannot even calculate the hours of research this dude puts into these amazing videos . . . Respect
Hester, walking...and turns on the jets. Still getting goosebumps from it.
And I'm a chargers fan.
LOVE the song at the end
KTO can't wait until you hit 1 million subs, you make the best NFL videos hands down.
Hester is the only player in history of the game to have 100 speed in Madden
I thought DeSean Jackson had 100 speed in one of them too?
@@jasonch4196 yes
Fun fact there was only two player with an 100 overall
Tony Brackens , Defensive end for jaguars in 96
And Barry Sanders in 97
Thank you for putting respect on Darius Leonard’s rookie season. He literally did everything that year, rack up tackles, get sacks, force fumbles and get INTs. Crazy enough he didn’t make the Pro Bowl but was 1st team all pro. Feel like he’s still slept on by a lot of people when he’s in the conversation for best ILB.
As a Panthers I really want to deny this and say Luke Keuchly had a better rookie year but that would be a lie
Devin Hester was one of the only players deserving of wearing 23 after mike
yo KTO is pumping out the content lately!! love it
I was hoping night train lane would be on the list. One of my all time fav old players
One of the best cornerbacks EVER, and especially THE best of his era. His 14 interceptions in a single season is still the NFL record.
@Fries I had a really old football book with short bios about the best players back-when. I read that thing until it was falling apart, growing up. Most interesting guy in there was Night Train. Still, it didn't have that tidbit about his birth and early years, so thank you for sharing this.
*The story of how he got his nickname is pretty funny
The best Devin Hester return IMO is the game winning one he had on MNF against the Cardinals
Super bowl
When hester runs that field goal back 11:26 that block from his teammate is CRAZY! Rocked that dude and didnt even move. Number 92!!
Kto you are my favorite for football info because you never tell us false info
I'm so glad you included my uncle Tommy Nobis in the video. I think he deserves the best LB spot because 294 tackles in utterly absurd
I just got off work, this video was right on time.
That KTO outro is always heat
Got out of work early , KTO uploaded? Today will be a good day
I remember winning $20 because of Devin Hester.
I made the bet he'd return a kick in the Super Bowl.
Fastest money I've won on a bet.
Hey I don’t know if you see these comments but you make my day watching these videos, keep up the good work!
Another W video KTO :)
love this vids keep grinding bro
the*
Keep up the work these vids are 🔥🔥
KTO uploading? And it’s a Friday? Sometimes the stars align
Yessir The Maniac is the man! So glad we got him in Indy
Craziest thing about Lawrence Taylor was he didn’t lift weights, partied like a mad man, and still was the best defensive player ever.
He had what my North Carolina grandma said "that country farm strength"
KTO! Great way to finish!!! Hester was a once in a lifetime return man. I'm a 56 year old life long bears fan and we may of lacked a superbowl quarterback (rex Grossman) but Devin Hestet took away that embarrassment getting our assses handed to us in what was only the second superbowl for one of the NFLs first teams. But one huge mistake you made was forgetting to include "Biscuit " Refrigerator Perry as a guy that should of been a "rookie of the year " in 85. Come on how many rookies score a touchdown in the superbowl WHEN THE DUDE IS A DEFENSIVE LINEMAN?!?!!!! Lol
Terrell Suggs also had an insane rookie year leading to DROY, he deserves at least a mention
My man! I'm so happy that my boy Darin Leonard is getting his recognition he deserves 👏🏻 💪🏼
Darius
Devin Hester was so electrifying to watch. He made kickoffs and punts, which are normally trivial and mundane, fun to watch. His open field running and vision were unparalleled. I loved watching him play and still go back to watch his highlights and I am not even a Bears fan! He was a once in a generation talent and I do not think we will ever witness someone surpass what he did his rookie year!
gotta love hester closing out the video
Thanks for putting Baker in the video!
WOW! KTO IS A BEAST WHEN IT COMES TO CONTENT! THIS VIDEO IS 3 DAYS SEPERATE FROM HIS LAST POST!
I don't get it, what that supposed to mean? Is that good?
@@shanekingsley251 He was kind of lazy, but now he's growing.
Is Sports Therapy coming back for another season? I’d love to see more collabs for you guys :)
You gotta do the Bengals/Steelers MNF game from December 2017. Shazier’s career ender, Burfict’s major concussion,
Banger as always!!!!
I want... no I NEED more KTO videos!!!
Baker recently got some more recognition for his unofficial sack record, I'm happy to add
Night Train for me. This man used to walk past the teams practice facility and was given one chance. Changed the whole game.
You could have mentioned who the two '65 rookie all pros were. And maybe that they turned out to be two of the best players ever at their positions and both were first ballot hall of famers.
I love you kto keep it up
Anyone else see the amazing blocks on that last kick return td from Hester?
Prime time deserves a shoutout just for what he did in his first NFL play. Deion the goat
So glad Hester is on here
I hope you can add return men. Like Devin Hester's rookie year was insane and the Super Bowl opening kickoff from him was just icing on the cake
Nevermind homie added the Goat
Really surprised that not more Defensive Ends were mentioned, especially since the dominate defensive awards and stats
I’d love to see best Undrafted rookies too
Imagine criticizing a player out of an HBCU for going to a small school sure they are small schools but their also packed with talent
For reference a few guys who came from HBCUs are Michael Strahan, Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, Deacon Jones, Robert Mathis, Darius Leonard, Larry Little, Geno Atkins, Bob Hayes, Lem Barney, Robert Brazile, Steve McNair, Buck Buchanan, Doug Williams, Ken Houston, Mel Blount, Harold Carmichael, and Terron Armstead
Patrick Willis’ rookie season blows Luke’s out of the water
Fax
This an awesome video for Bears fans like me.
There are two things in life you can never trust: Politicians and Bleacher Report
On the clip of devin Hester returning that field goal look at the block that 92 made
" PUSH...BREATHE... PUSH...wait. Stop pushing honey KTOs got a new one" :)
Lt really was a animal just hearing people talk about him is crazy teams was straight up terrified
Thank you
7:42 Well, Testaverde was throwing to Mark Carrier and that's who caught it, so mission accomplished
Just some guys that deserve mentioning:
Terrell Suggs
12 sacks, 9 TFLs, 5 FF, 4 FR, 1 INT on a top 5 defense.
Marcus Peters
League leading 8 INTs, 280 INT return yards, 2 pick sixes, and 26 pass deflections. Also had a pick and 3 PDs in 2 playoff games
Marshon Lattimore
5 INTs, 85 INT return yards, 1 pick six, 38 pass deflections in just 13 games. Grades out as the greatest rookie season from a corner in recent history.
Another W from KTO
Joking in terms of the greatest, but Micah Parsons is looking pretty damn great.
Whenever KTO Uploads multiple times in a week, I soil my pants
Nice video KTO.
Kinda shocked that Prime Time and Sean Taylor weren’t mentioned after their standout rookie seasons but still a great round up of players.
Night Train Lane also went undrafted. Insane.
Guys believe me when I say seat geek is bussssssssin
Hester had kids at my high school buying his jersey, in Dallas, as a special teamer.
Nick Bosa deserves a honorable mention. 13 sacks, 30 QB hits and 91 pressures by a rookie demolishes the previous rookie pressure record (Including playoffs). He had 12 or so pressures in the Superbowl alone, and probably would've been SB Mvp if 49ers didn't choke.
Kicker: Jason Hanson (Lions 1992) Only kicker ever named Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Punter: Riley Dixon (Broncos 2016) Highest net average by a rookie in NFL history.
Head Coach: Jim Harbaugh (49ers 2011) Took a team that went 6-10 the previous year and hadn't had a winning season in 9 years to a 13-3 record and the NFC Championship game.
I'm curious, how was Deion's rookie year? Palomalu? Sean Lee? Did they take time to develop?
Darius Leonard's rookie year was phenomenal
Devin Hester.....you are RIDICULOUS!!!
My favorite call from Bears AM radio. Jeff Joniak breaks out the ridiculous line once in a while, but its not the same as when Devin Hester would change the game.
If This video was recorded a bit later I’m sure Micah parsons would’ve been the best
Parsons shattered it
Might have to make a whole new one on Micah Parsons now lol Great video! love your content
11:25 better give 92 some credit for that play too holy shit
KTO is the jxmyhighroller of the NFL.
May not be on this list for rookies, but Louis Wright for the Broncos is one of the best CBs of all time. Man needs to get the recognition he deserves.
Number 92 on Chicago murder that Giants kicker 😂😂
Miss Jalen Ramsey in this video, dude was a beast in 2016-17
Night Train Lane was like the Jim Brown of DB's
Nick Bosa deserves a shout out. Dude was so good, he might have been the biggest reason why the 49ers made it to the SB in 2020.
Everson Walls 11 ints as a rookie was impressive! I think he should be in the HOF! He had to cover guys like Art Monk ,Roy Green, Earnest Grey,J.T Smith and Mike Quick twice a year.
