    Well, it's a few weeks late, but here's the Derrick Thomas video I promised back in September. Derrick Thomas was one of many "next Lawrence Taylor"s that came out in the 1980s and 90s, but unlike many imposters, DT lived up to the hype.
    After a dominant junior campaign, Thomas was straight-up unblockable in his senior season. He posted 27 sacks and an untold number of pressures on the year, and should've come in second for the Heisman vote.
    Most of the footage came from the BamaRewind channel. Music was stuff I found on CZcams. As always, I hope you enjoy the video, and please let me know who you'd like to see next.
    PS: Next video will be basketball-related.

    Look, DT was/is the best college linebacker ever. He was so fast. He had 27 sacks in 1 season. 27, that's right, 27. I think half of those was on poor Mr. Saco from Penn State, lol. DT, with his speed would be a beast in any era. I am from Bama, a Bama grad, and I have watched a LOT of Bama games as well as college football in general, never been anyone like him. RIP DT.

      Agree Offense always had to plan for where LT lined up yet in more games than DT he never had as many sacks in NFL or even in College . If he had played same # of years as Reggie in NFL the record for SACKS would be his alone. To say dominate none did so as much as DT whether in College or NFL.

      I saw him play twice in Ttown and once in Knoxville. Nobody that big, that strong should be that fast. Probably the only players who could outrun him on that defense was free and a cornerback. It was just insane how fast he was.

    My family has had season tickets to all Bama games since 1974. I grew up watching the sack master taking over games. Truly the best to ever play LB. Any team that played Bama had to account for DT and where he lined up at. LOL

    Huge Bama fan here and love this video. DT is the greatest Alabama defensive player of all time. A guy who, in his prime, could play in today's game and still be dominant. BTW, what were you thinking with the high pitched piano playing in the background? Felt like I was in a 1940s piano bar.
