Mini Documentary about Wilbert Montgomery and his days from the Philadelphia Eagles and coaching from the St Louis Rams, Baltimore Ravens and now Cleveland Browns
Still my favorite player ever. He cared, he tried, and he took his talents to their utmost because of that. Lastly, he was as humble as they come. Total respect.
Thank u Laie for posting this truly great video Wilbert has been my ultimate hero for 35 years now and you did a heck of a job putting this together to show how great this man really was. Fans who never saw Wilbert can never realize how great a player he was especially because of injuries shortened his career down but even so he still was able to retire the 15th all-time leading rusher at the time of his retirement just 14 yards behind Hall of famer number #14 John Henry Johnson. Wilbert played for a team that didn't have much run blocking and still a little known stat is that Wilbert led the NFC 3 times in 5 years in average per carry 78,81 n 82 he did it with blinding speed mixed with great strength for his size and a toughness u just don't see anymore and such humility, what a pleasure to watch thank u again. And lets get this Super Man in the NFL Hall finally. Now that Floyd Little is in it Wilbert no doubt belongs not that he didn't before.
@@aidencass6840 You are lucky to have him as a coach cause Wilbert would be great at coaching any sport.As he did such a great job as a assistant with the Rams,Lions,Ravens,and Browns over the course of 19 years.
,,, I've never seen anyone go through the line as Wilbert did, with such speed, as a young man his first few years. He just accelerated into contact and broke on through !
I can imagine these kids today being coached by him who never saw him play, then checking out videos of his highlights and going “Damn, this dude was the shit!” Mad respect
I think it was the final game of the 1976 seaqson...Eagles vs. Giants. Wilbert ran back the opening kickoff and rushed for over 100 yards. Both of those things were rarities for the Eagles at that time. That's when I knew he was a special player.
My favorite Eagle ever.

Love those Eagles uniforms!!!
Those were the best and Wilbert rocked it better than anyone.
I've been an Eagles fan forever, and have respected and liked so many players. Wilbert is still my favorite.
My favorite player back in the day.
Just a GREAT, all-around back. Quickness, surprising power, and breakaway speed. One of THE very best ever to wear the Eagles uniform.

stratman1512 he is my track coach
He was about as fast as Dorsett and about as tough as Payton. Which is a heck of a combination.

Wilbert was a great Eagle.
Yes, Wilbert, you were sensational.
He ran like he had wings on his feet. He could book it! The quintessential halfback.
Wings on his feet. Yep that’s perfect description. So smooth and beautiful smooth cutting ability. He just glided like a beautiful machine
@@Mark-sj3xb He had speed. He could truck it. Those runs he made against the Cowboys in the 1980 NFC Championship Game, were something.
Smoothest, most BEAUTIFUL runner EVER ( Next to O.J. ) My Favorite Player and Eagles Best Back EVER!!!
Outstanding RB , enjoyed watching him lay growing up .
The Delaware Valley loves Wilbert.
Great player

He was very similar to Payton and Dorsett. Great RB.
I watched that game eagles vs cowboys man, that old vet. stadium turf looked hard. Maybe it took a few years from Wilbert?
