Can't believe the Chiefs went from Priest Holmes to Larry Johnson to Jamaal Charles. They were loaded at RB for most of the last two decades
And then Kareem Hunt but then...
Then Kareem Hunt
And then Kareem Hunt but then he was *kicked* out of Kansas City!
We got Damien Williams, leveon bell and CEH
They were loaded with a hall of fame offensive line. Charles was the only stand out.
He had 8 straight years averaging over 5 yards per carry. In today's league, that's almost unheard of to have that kind of longevity and be that good
In any league it is. Back when teams were more run heavy the YPC averages were still around the same on average
He isn't a Hall of Famer in the league, but he's definitely going to the Chiefs team hall of fame.
@@aaronTGP_3756 Shiii how many people they put in the Hall he definitely deserves to be there
@@tyrencrafton1814 agreed! Terrell davis is in the HOF…compare his stats to Charles 😅
Terell got two Super Bowl rings on his finger @YM RN That’s probably the reason he gets a slight edge over Jamaal even though stats shows more productivity.
#25 was a blurr forgotton superstar but real fans remember I'm glad they doing these throwbacks
As a chiefs fan, watching Jamaal run was my favorite part of the game to watch back then. We used to be trash lol
Jamaal is my favorite chiefs of all time so fun to watch
You're so right. I normally rely on FlemLo for recent history. All the game tape the NFL have, I don't think they do enough with it. Thinking bout it not just game tape; training camps, drafts, interviews, crazy moments, trades. They need to step their game up!
Hope you're good.
Miss jamaal like crazy he was a beast
He’s my favorite RB of all time and before we got Pat he was my favorite chiefs player of all time too I wish prime JC was with Pat that would be insane
As a Chiefs fan, I remember watching Jamaal Charles...I’ve never seen a more speedy elusive back that played hard all the time....he’s always going to be one of my favorite Chiefs players of all time!!
Dude was KC from 08-15 😭😭😭, iconic legend.
I'd kill to be able to see JC in his prime playing with Mahomes and Hill
as a chargers fan, i would rather get killed than see that
It was so close to happening. Charles was even expected to have a nice bounce back year in 2016. Even after the acl he was only 30. And he tore he’s meniscus that year. Pretty much sealed the deal. But he was signed through 2018 originally so yes we would’ve seen it 😭😭😭
Jamaal Charles and Chris Johnson were awesome to watch
Yesss! My two favorite to watch then. I'm from kc so jamaal was my guy but I agree Chris Johnson was so much fun to watch.
That guy won me 2 fantasy championships. I'm forever a fan. Beast
Jamal Charles deserves to be in the hall of fame one day.
Not a Chiefs fan but I agree 100% with you. I think he gets in eventually though. His 5.1 yards per carry is insane.
lolol no man, cmon. A lotta better RB's ahead of him. put him in hall of very good. nowhere close to H.O.F.
@@gringostarr9935 Charles has the best YPC in the history of the NFL. That's not something to be scoffed at. On top of that he was a damn good receiver not just out of the backfield either. I've seen Charles lined up at the X receiver spot and run routes as good as anyone else. That's not just very good That's easily hall of fame caliber. Charles will definitely get in sooner rather than later.
He didn’t have the longevity to be a HOF. he is stupid talented I completely agree some of the stuff he did in his prime was top tier. His injuries killed something great unfortunately that takes away from his stats and his career. No way the guys that vote will vote him in. I don’t see how he could deserve the honor he hasn’t been one of the best 500 or so players to ever play in the nfl. He had a great few years making him all pro at best
@@codyhylton1826 if Terrell Davis is in with only 8 years and missed quite a few games due to chronic headaches J. Charles can certainly get in with 11 years and multiple all pro honors on his resume.
My guy Charles he was the bright spot on a team in the darkness for years and just to see Andy Reid come in and take his career to a whole new level was great to see!
This guy will always be legend by me. I played my first year of Fantasy Football in 2013 and drafted him unaware of how good he would play. The week he played the Raiders again, I had worked that morning. I took a nap, woke up, and he had put up 77.5 points against my opponent. He had sent me a text telling me “GG.” Charles was a monster and should never be forgotten.
That’s a great story dude used to carve up defenses 4 breakfast 🤦🏾♂️💯
I remember when he had 6.4 yards per carry in 2010. Thought his career was gunna be a bit longer, but that ACL ended his career as a starter a few years before it should of. Great career, definetely in that McCoy/Lynch tier of that era, just behind AP.
Gore tier as well but most of Gore's production came slightly earlier
@@maddenmoments8748 gores peak was now where near these other guys. Really good player but never was the best at his position.
He would’ve played with mahomes 😭😭😭. Dude was signed through 2018 I believe originally. Even though a bit older I don’t doubt he would’ve had 1.500 year season mahomes rookie year. And the chiefs would’ve had the best offense of all time without a doubt. Even with a 31 year old JC, young Kareem hunt. Would’ve been absolutely insane 😭😭
watching this dude play was just satisfying, hes one of the reasons that the chiefs became one of my favorite teams to watch.
It’s so unfortunate that the injuries were taking its toll on him, b/c he was on his way to having a HOF career
Yeah. Maybe the Chiefs reach the AFC Championship game in January 2016 if he didn't get hurt.
He will go in
@@aaronTGP_3756 yes we do, without a doubt. we didn’t have the firepower in that game to keep up with Brady. Shit we had old ass Jason avant out there. Maclin got injured the week before and wasn’t 100%. Lowkey that 2015 chiefs team was dangerous af. Especially that defense with hali Houston berry and Derrick Johnson still good 😭😭😭.
kind of like terrell davis when you think about it..not playing style but how their careers ended due to injuries.
As a chiefs fan, during the 2012 era the love every one of us had for jamaal was different
We still have that love. He’s one of the greatest chiefs of all time.
James Charles is my favorite running back
lol
My gosh I knew somebody was gonna pull this. He got a whole gf tho so we ain’t worried abt it
Bruh nfl liked it...
Man have Charles In this offense we would be unstoppable
Wdym would be unstoppable you already are
We would go 19-0
True but we would be physically unstoppable
@@williamwroten6712 The Chiefs defense is getting a lot better but if they had a top 5 defense, few injuries, and a great RB, they would be UNSTOPPABLE!
Port Arthur toughness. I remember reading in The Port Arthur News in 2004, his senior year in high school, that Jamaal promised a 300 yard game against Midland Lee, and this was his first game back from summer shoulder surgery. I was thinking, "Are you sure you want to put that in print, Jamaal?" But then, he did it: 371 yards on 49 carries! That's when I really knew his heart. I've been around football for a long time. Jamaal Charles is one of the greatest backs of all time. He could do it all.
What a story he has man. Not just a Chiefs legend but among the very best to ever do it. He helped build the Chiefs into the organization they are today. All of those years when KC wasn't doing a lot of winning...he still showed out.
Jamaal Charles is literally my favorite player of all time
The Guy that made me a Chiefs Fan
The Most Forgotten RB from the Late 2000’s
Thanks for this! And thanks to JC if he sees this. From a Chiefs fan of over 20+ years
I loved you JC from Texas to KC. You were amazing. Nothing but love man. Thank you for the memories!
One of my all time favorite RBs
A even faster brian westbrook and then some...
Ended on a down note in KC, but he was truly awesome in the Red and Gold. One of my favorite Chiefs!
We would be an even better team
With unstoppable run yds and passing
Man ive been a fan of the Chiefs forever and Charles was always and will always be my favorite player, he was the best to watch because at any moment he explodes and breaks off a big run. Always gave me hope even when we weren't that good you knew he could make something happen. So sad when he got injured I really missed him.
My favorite Chiefs RB of all time.....loved to watch him run
I miss watching Jamaal play so much. Obviously love watching the Chiefs offense now, but haven't seen an RB like Jamaal ever.
Alvin K is close thing to him JC
@@onlyfaxxs5996 JC has the breakaway cut and vision that just is in anther level. And the chiefs oline wasn’t even close to the saints was during Ak career.
i remember when he was a freshman on that Longhorns championship team, and the first time i seen him run i told my brother he'll be the best RB in the league
it took awhile but he definitely proved me right
You’re talking about a guy who put up over 200 yards against Nebraska......in just the 4th quarter. Let that sink in.
That's not saying much lol
@@braskathroughthegames698 Not now but remember that Nebraska won national championships in '94, '95 and '97. They were winning 10 or more games per year until 2003. When Charles played in them in 2007 they still had some good players. Still any RB than can put up 200 yards in a single quarter is pretty impressive.
Unbelievable!!
I thought that game was over. Turned the tv back on and boom Jamaal with monster run after monster run
He was my Favorite RB without being a KC fan. This guys was special. 💪
If he was playing with mahomes right now kansas city would average at least 50 points per game.
Shiiiit if we kept kareem hunt we probably would still be dropping points like crazy
I grew up watching this man in high school and since then when he touched the ball he was gone without getting touched most of the time
Always forget he was on that 2005 texas team as a freshman when they beat USC
Am I the only person that remembers him scoring a touchdown 5 or 4 different ways in one game? Like Punt, Kick, Catch, Run, and maybe 1 throw.
I don’t think I’m making this up😅
Him and troy brown did it i wanna say
He’s a beautiful runner. He had unbelievable vision
Body movement with flexible hips
Jamaal, man what a great player and person u were/are. U gave everything and u deserve everything u get thats good.
I wish he never torn his ACl a second time. One of my favorite Chiefs of all time and didn’t have a good QB till the end of his career with the Chiefs. Would of balled with Mahomes😢
That injury ruled him out if the Wembley game against Detroit. Happy I got to see the chiefs in the flesh but wish I got to see #25
Agreed injuries to all the greats except Jerry.
I still bring this guy up whenever I can. Appreciated all his great plays
Glad to have had you as a bronco if at least for a minute. We didn't use you the best we could have but that's the league.
Jamaal had an unfortunately large part in the last time the Broncos beat the Chiefs, if that helps!
You were and are a professional true definition of a great athlete much respect J.C!
Injuries played a part in his downfall still one of the best HOF
Technically the best running back of all time because of his yards per carry
He's a great player but he's not the best. I feel comfortable with top 10 at the very least.
Agreed
@@bigred9991 he just didn’t play long enough but what he accomplished, every year he was healthy he was top 5
I worked with Jamal’s aunt, she is Beautiful, down to earth and simply one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the honor to know
Fast strong great cuts game breaker and his BLITZ PICK UP. Was elite!!! Run catch all time great
man. to imagine jc25 with the mahomes chiefs........ chaarles gave me a reason to watch the chiefs back in the day and for my money he is one of the best RBs in NFL history.
greatest chiefs rb in hisory. also kudos to whoever edited this vid. the best format of a highlight tape ive seen.
I'm not even a chiefs fan but I miss watching this dude play
I like him bc he was on chiefs and fast
Oh, he played for the Chiefs and ran fast, huh? You're a fucking genius
@@BryonLetterman lmao
GEINUS😂
My absolute favorite RB growing up! One of the fastest of all time
I was fortunate enough to see JC play in high school-pros. From the same city as him and he’s my favorite player for that reason. Miss watching him play
As a longhorn, it make me happy anytime chiefs fans talk about Jamaal and how much they love him. It sucks how mismanaged he was during the Haley years, but the man did the most each and every opportunity he had
This man got me into watching football as a young kid
For two years, Charles was untouchable.
So much nostalgia from my childhood
My favorite RB of all time. He was something else. Special.
the Chiefs were terrible in those early years and everyone in the stadium knew we were handing it off to Jamaal. And he STILL went for 5 and a half yards every time. Legend.
I grew up with Priest Holmes and somewhat remember him but I remember Jamal Charles vividly and always loved him. First jersey I owed was used Charles jersey. Sadly injuries hurt him. I see him in the hall of fame one day.
Jamaal, you were the most "that guy" that anyone's ever been bud.
Ugh I miss him. Instinctual genius, and such a great person.
Mann I can't stop smiling. Much love Bro 💪🏽 You on my fantasy team anyday
Back when he was still playing, i would play as him on madden career mode and just run the ball with him every play, im not even a chiefs fan, i just loved the way he moved and ran the ball!
Funny how they said he looked small to be the starter and he's 5'11😂😂 People are funny sometimes.
Laughs in Maurice Jones-Drew. 😂
I think he meant in Weight. He was MAYBE 200 pounds going into training camp every year and by mid season probably around 190. That's light for a RB, most are at least 210-220
The Chiefs have always been able to put together solid squads. I was a huge Charles fan when he played, as he seemed to always show up at the biggest moments. He was the full package, and Kamara reminds me of him today.
*laughs in 2012*
Thank you Jamaal! Chiefs fans will never forget
As a Raiders fan he’s one of the few- if the only divisional rival player I have respect for.
This dude won my leagues for a minute, most slept on!
My 1st time going to an nfl game was kc vs denver. JC went off, Derrick Johnson had 2 pick 6s, Brandon Marshall was sat and Jabar Gaffney had 200+ yds
Jamaal Charles...will never be forgotten plus he is a Texas longhorns running back... Great running backs comes from the Texas longhorns...Ricky Williams,Priest Holmes,Cedric Benson and many more...
So much fun to watch him play.
He was so good by far one of my favorite runing backs. To bad he didn't have andy his whole career
Even as a AINTS FAN I have a Jamal Charles jersey he brought me good times in Madden an real life
When I'm depressed I rewatch highlights of my favorite player
Favorite RB All Time I miss them days 💯😤
He was so much fun to watch. Best RB in Chiefs history and I dont say that lightly!!
Sir Charles is definitely one of my favorite backs in the NCAA and NFL 🤘🏿
"At least he held on the helmet" --Jim Nantz being a savage.
First jersey I ever owned
I never liked how Haley would sub Jamaal out in the RZ, we saw under Reid how great JC25 was in downhill running
Love Jamaal. Long history of great UT running backs. Hook 'em.
I'm auburn fan but I think Texas like Michigan is one of those schools where college football is better when they are good...
Port Arthur legend!
This dude single handedly won me my fantasy league back in ‘12.
I watched Jamaal his whole career. He made it look so effortless almost like he was gliding out there on the field. The highlight big plays are amazing but I was also always impressed with his yards per carry average. He wasn't a barry sanders type who'd get 15 carries for 113 where one run got him 80 of those yards. For Jamaal he almost always churned out intermediate positive gains. When it was the 3rd quarter he would have 100 yards on 14 carries and it was largely his ability to slip away from a tackle and turn a -2 into a plus 6 or 7 which he would do over and over and over and over again.
He was a legend for so many years for us
Miss him everyday, definitely wish he could be apart of team now.
Damn I forgot how good this dude was 💯🔥🔥
This man was SCARY when you faced the chiefs during those days! He ran crazy man. Such a unique RB. True dual threat.
Humble person and amazing athlete. #25
I'm a Chiefs fan and I remember going to the playoff game against the Ravens with some friends who were Ravens fans that year the Chiefs had Thomas Jones and Jamaal. I told them, "Every time we give the ball to Thomas Jones instead of Jamaal Charles, that's a gift for you guys."
So true, it’s sad how much he was under utilized until Andy Reid came to KC.
awesome player, so much fun to watch. i hope his post NFL life has been treatin' him well :)
Jamal Charles he became GREAT.. like he was good in College but when he got to the League he got Turnt UP!
Such an exciting player to watch back in the day.
Imagine him or Priest Holmes being on this Chiefs team it'll be like the Warriors with Kevin Durant
If Charles was on the Legion of Zoom the average 40 time for the Chiefs skill positions would be sub 4.4. INSANITY
Holmes and Charles full power and health would be in my eyes the scariest backfield that could happen. Very underrated cut short careers.
@@Mythowarsman scary isn't the word they literally wouldn't lose you would have to try & outscore them because you wouldn't be able to stop them
mr charles wuz an absolute speed demon 🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite Chiefs ever That unbelievable acceleration & effortless 'extra gear' speed. Underrated toughness. I vividly remember the near 300 yd coming out party in Denver (at the end of a forgettable season). That endzone dance 🤣🤣🤣 That reception game against the Raiders!!! Too bad about the seasons lost to injuries. I do wish he had more time to play for coach Ried. KC 💛 YOU JC#25. It was hard to see him suit up in a Broncos uniform, but the man wrote a thank you letter to KC on his way out that was printed in the Star. Class act. Thanks for all your hard work & for the great memories.
Edit: 👍🔥💯🔥👍
Did so much for a team that didn’t have much goin for it glad he was able to help bring in the new era of winning
Underrated af
I loved the way Jamal Charles ran, you could tell it was him from far because he would have his head down 🤣
Favorite chief of all time
My favorite player in the nfl ever since I was 10
I miss pre-2013 NFL. Games these days just don’t have the same feel.
