Tony Dorsett Highlights (Final Version)

- One of the greatest runners in Cowboys history (some think he is the best runner). Dorsett had plenty of speed to create long, breakaway runs. Also had the moves to leave defenders grasping at air. Dorsett won the Heisman Trophy with Pittsburgh in 1976, then got drafted by the Cowboys in 1977. He didn't start right away, but won the NFL Rookie of the Year along with a Super Bowl.
Dorsett ran for over 1,000 yards eight times in his career and set a record against the Vikings with a 99 yard touchdown run. He ran for almost 13,000 yards and scored 90 touchdowns in his career. Biggest knock on him was the fumbling; he had as many fumbles (90) as he did touchdowns (90) in his career. He was a 1x First Team All Pro, 4x Pro Bowler, and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. - Sport
In my opinion and in all of sports ( thru out history as well ), TD is THE most beautiful runner EVER....GOD, how I wish I could run like him..
I agree He's second on the list only one ran more graceful then him and that was OJ. Check out OJs highlights.
I can respect that, but I've seen interviews from other HOF RB from Jim Brown to Walter Payton and the say Gale Sayers was the most beautiful runner ever. I also think that TD was a better RB than Emmitt Smith. My opinion.
True and he is the MOST DANGEROUS RUNNER EVER. !
My favorite back ever
@@charlestinsley5961 let’s not rule out Barry Sanders. He was a great runner and he moved so beautifully
His first step is unparallel.
Tony Dorsett is the single reason that I fell in love with football and played running back for 11 years. I was literally obsessed with him. His vision and smooth quickness were unmatched.
My first memory of the NFL was the 77-78 Super Bowl Dallas vs Denver, and I’ve been a fan of TD ever since.
Thanks for the memories Roger & Tony
My all time favorite running back to watch...one of the few backs, unlike most of the other greats, he had the acceleration to break any run, any time. You just held your breath watching him.
A long time cowboys fan he is one of my favorite players. Do not hear him mentioned much except clips like this unfortunately
My favorite RB of all time. Electrifying. If Landry would have run him more against the Steelers we win that SB. They couldn't handle his speed. 15 carries wasn't enough.
Same, he made me love football.
That 33 is Iconic, in Cowboy lore
And 88
Totally true. He’s always been my favorite cowboy
I think you're right. I have that game on DVD and can't understand why they didn't give Tony more carries.
As a Steeler fan from that era, I'm glad they stopped giving him the ball.
Too busy trying to make Roger the savior like russel Wilson and Marshawn lynch. Same shit different toilet
He could turn on a dime, while going faster than everybody else. His ability to change direction at that speed always amazed me.
Tony Dorsett was the most electric and speedy running back who can do everything. He was very underrated and unappreciated by the league. I feel he was the best player during his era.
The Best!!!!!! My favorite player of all time!!!!!!!
He set the collegiate rushing record at a time when they didn’t count your bowl game stats. And Ricky Williams broke his record during the regular season. When they only played 10 or 11 regular season games. That’s why I will always have mad respect for those two accomplishments.
I can watch his videos ALLLL DAMMM DAY!!
No running back in history was as fast off the line of scrimmage as Tony Dorsett. They guy was at full speed as soon as he crossed the line of scrimmage.
One of the time greats and a great man
He was amazing
Nobody in the history of the NFL had speed & acceleration like Tony D.
My Father Bart III, loved watching Dorsett in 1970s....Blown away. Mad Dog 🐕 Sweeney
Just an opinion.
I think Walter Payton was the GOAT, but I know Dorsett was the fastest and most agile RB I'd ever seen play the game!
He was a very spectacular and exciting player to watch! ✌️😎
Like wise, Tony isnt the Greatest but definitely my favorite.
He was the fastest until Chris Johnson
Was not just his speed, but his vision.
Tony Dorsett the 70s & 80s version of Barry Sanders.
I didnt know he had moves like that. Great clip!
Dallas’ best ever RB, EVER. Touchdown Tony Dorsett
Tony Dorsett and Roger Craig are my two favorite running backs. I could watch them all day.
My favorite player on my favorite team. Can't forget all of his fumbles though.
Could hit the gap at amazing speed
The ONLY Cowboy jersey I'll have on the wall in the den. -STEELERS'77- 🤜🏿🤛🏿😎
Tony was always fun to watch. Just gteatness.
Incredible! He runs like Walter Payton without putting the physical hurt on those who attempted to stop him.
He's faster!

Definitely! Payton R.I.P. was one of the greats that was run down from behind many times.
He was born in 1954 and he played on our team that’s wassup ngl our best rb of all time
STILL THE FASTEST RUNNING BACK EVER,,,
The 2 most beautiful runners I've seen, in my humble opinion, are Tony Dorsett and Eric Dickerson. Dickerson always ran with his shoulders squared. His movement and power came from the waist down
So many times, 88 right by 33.
I have five pro jerseys 4 of them have 33 on them ! Any questions!
The Cowboys saw how an elusive versatile back like Terry Metcalf w Don Coryells St Louis Cards could propel an offense and drafted TD. He was incredibly fast and smooth and complimented the rest of the offense. Closest later was Marshall Faulk who almost has identical stats.
That's when I was a Dallas fan.
Slow motion highlights don't do justice to Dorsett, Barry Sanders, or Dan Marino.
When you see them in real speed, it's jaw dropping. Tons of younger folks don't realize their skills or why they are a big deal. It should be required viewing.
If i could only have one back that Dallas has had for 1-5 years itd be tony over emmitt.
Much faster and might have been the better back very unappreciated a great player
Gale Sayers. Had he not blown his knee, just imagine. He broke defenders' ankles.
If he played today there would be 4 players on every team that could run with him but then there wasn’t 4 players in the league that could.
If you didn't see him you missed a treat
Tony Dorsett is Why Dallas won Superbowls 🏈👍
Tony Dorsett & OJ Simpson had similar styles of the running back position.
Don't make'um like they used to. Period!
That's when they were " America's Team "
If he and Staubach would have played more together more super bowls
If Dorsett was "Too Small" then so was Payton R.I.P.
Loved T.D. at Pitt!
1:43 marked so the green idolizers can find Dorsett demonstrating another example of why track stars don't necessarily make the best football players.
I met him in 1978 when I was starting my senior year in high school. Jay saldi ran a summer camp at briarcliff high school in westchester county ny and Tony was there one day running 40s with us kids. I was 5’11” 180 and he was about my height and maybe 5-10 pounds bigger. He was at the 40 when I was passing the 30 haha. Payton was built different. 5’10” but 205-210. A couple steps slower than dorsett though
He was slippery
Drew pearson was always up front blocking for Tony Dorset
who thinks tony dorsett is the best👇
And what about the time he was put on the DL because he dropped a mirror on his big toe, LOL!
I'd rather have Csonka or Emmitt if I had a Superbowl game to win. But I'd rather watch Tony's highlights on CZcams if I want to see a guy simply run with the football.
