My favorite player ever. He was scary, funny, amped, positive, lovable and an overall beast.
Same
I had no idea he was almost cut, wow!
Remember I had a demo disk with Nfl Extreme and Randle on the front. Good times
"Some people say we didn't deserve it? Whatever - f*** you. We deserved it." Greatest quote ever about the 98 Vikings made by #93.
Still makes me wonder how great a game that would have been against the Broncos for the Superbowl that year. What a matchup it could have been.
John Randle’s NFL story is an inspirational one. The man had to sneak weights to his body in order to weigh enough. Once he was given a chance the man was a monster.
Insane
John Randle was a VOLCANIC football player, who utalised being "short" to the absolute fullest. Being 6ft 1', he used his lower attacking point to destroy linemen from the bottom up on a weekly basis.
LEVERAGE KILLS
Why did the Vikings let him go? 🤔
He was a d-tackle not an end way better Warren Sapp check their stats and he plays with who? Nobody
Not Larry Allen.
@@Ze_Moose cause he was getting older just like every other player
I met him twice. He gave my nephew and I a tour of his place and signed my nephews football. Such an awesome guy! And he's definitely not a "smaller guy. "... dude was a BEAST!
“REGULATORRRRS! MOUNT UP!”
Love his mikes up on nfl films channel
It’s amazing how many double digit sack numbers he had as a Defensive Tackle
He was so dominant it’s insane
Aaron Donald before AD. Dude was Lawrence Taylor like. Very underrated hall of famer.
And people wanna bring up that chump aaron donald
@@illmatic826 imagine calling the greatest DT in NFL history a chump 🤡
@@xDreMack Donald is not the greatest at all. Insane. You young kids man smh
I remember when Dilfer went after Randle after that play. Even the guys in the booth were laughing, incredulous that Dilfer would even dare 🤣😂🤣
Should have gotten the Oscar that year
John Randle was country strong &, weight lifting strong simultaneously. 1of my favorite players of all-time.
I remember as a kid seeing him on the cover of NFL Xtreme 2,he had the cool face paint and was always an intimidating and great player
Best pass rushing DT I've seen. Guy was a beast
I think he is. I still have him at 5 all time at the defensive tackle position but he was a monster!
Aaron Donald ?
I'll take this guy over Aaron all day
He was, and still is, one of my favorite players of all time. Such a shame he never won a SB.
Lions fan here. John Randle was one of my favorite opposing players. His determination, love for the game, his talent, and yeah, his mouth. Loved the mic'ed up John Randle.
I love that clip they show of him and the Lions: "Barry! Barry! Hey BARRY! I can't get no love? I can't get no love, Barry?" My two favorite players of all time.
@mdstreeter1460 Yeah, that's one of my favorites too. Dude was a joy to watch.
as a packers fan, he was truly a 🐐
Last year, my family and I had a chance to meet him at an autograph convention in Chicago. Great player and great guy.
I firmly believe that Randle was the first ideal 3TECH/UT that guys like Dungy, Angelo, & L.Smith studied as a means to build their entire TAMPA 2 defensive scheme around for their base 4-3 seven man zone defense.
As a 5 8 180 DT this was my favorite player that rip swim move was my stuff. John Randle was god level. Thanks for all the inspiration
As a bears fan I have all the respect in the world for John. Loved his style of play…he was a menace
I wish he would've won a ring in '98!!! Man as a 49ers fan even I feel the pain Vikings fans had to embrace after that loss to Atlanta!
Fast forward to today we're use to our teams stinking.
@@merakki - Have faith! I in my heart believe that you guys will win y'alls first lombardi trophy! Remember, If the Eagles could pull it off so can the Vikes!
As a Bronco fan I can tell you I didn’t want the Broncos playing that team in the Super Bowl because the outcome may have been different! Fantastic player! RIP Chris Doleman that defence was stacked!
@@broncosbest6441 Oh man, just imagine the ratings for Super Bowl XXXIII if it was Broncos vs Vikings!!!
@@surferguy1974 I liked the matchup against the Falcons thanks😂. Anyhow shouldn’t be talking to you as a 49er fan after SB XXIV if you are old enough😂. 49ers have a legit shot at this year’s Super Bowl!
My all time favorite. High motor, high effort guy. I don’t think there will ever be another player like him.
Those we're the days. How I miss Minnesota playing defense like they did back when.
John Randle was an absolute BEAST! I honestly cannot think of any other word the best describes. There was no one like him at the time or even since that I can think of. He was a BEAST and now he's a HOFer. You earned it, big guy!
One of best Defense ends ever Randle and those 90s Vikings teams were tough wish they won it all in 98
D Tackle actually .
One of the most underrated great players
As Packers fan growing up as young kid in the 90s him and Warren Sapp and Cortez Kennedy were the best those day and we need more NFL throwback from that era please !
I like how it said it was an honor just to be on the field. So different than most players now days.
That’s a crazy 100th sack to do it on that linemen and that QB 😮
Not against Larry Allen that was# 67 Everett McIver… Larry Allen #73
Savage Chris Doleman
"How many Sacks you got?"
"11"
"Well you ain't gonna get any this year"
XD
"My favorite QB to sack was all of em!"
My man!😂😂 Dear God wad he a bad one!😂😂😂
Vikings fan here. Randle is still my favorite player of all time and one of the best trash talkers ever in the NFL. We could have used some one like him this year.
buddy of mine was friends with Todd Bouman who was a backup QB for the vikes from 97-01 when I lived there. After home games on Sunday night we went out in Mpls with a ton of the players. Randle was a freaking great and fun guy to hang out with. bar bills at times were 10 to 20K and players(my measily 200 bucks) were all split up. it was fun times.
0:28 Steve Young wasn't the same after he heard those words lol
One of my 10 all time five players and I am a NE fan from NE.
So much fun to watch, JR always lit it up.
0:39 Regulators, Mount Up!
The NFL tends to judge a player by all the physical traits they have but that doesn't judge a persons heart. John Randle was 260 lbs. of heart. Always good to see guys like Randle and another Viking Adam Thielen come from small programs undrafted with a great work ethic succeed.
Man was so ferocious they took his face paint away calling it "war paint" it made him too powerful for player's safety... the leagues insurance wouldn't cover it! Lol I loved this guy!
YES!!! Finally some more defensive guys on this channel
This is one of you guys best videos and that’s saying something because I love everything you do
1990 freshman year in st paul mn. That's when I learned to loved the game of footballs. Remembered my first purple starters jacket and so on. John Randle ,chris Doleman,Anothony Carter,cris Carter, Ismail( missile) etc..I feel old now. Go vikings
I grew up on when Mr. Randle was towards the end of his career but I was old enough to remember how crazy watching him play was and I'm not even a Vikes fan.
I’m glad they finally did a whole segment on you, the missing rings did you no justice. A legend for us d linemen as well as respect from the oline.
That Trent Dilfer part was hilarious
John Randle was a very competitive and fast athlete who was underestimated and very fun to watch. His pyschological trash talk is intellectually creative and unmatched. Talk about getting into opponents mindset...
John Randle...my generations Aaron Donald.
I knew he was great, but I forgot he was a DT not an edge player. Just even scarier.
John Randle was a good guy off the field. Would see him at the clubs in downtown Minneapolis, and he was always funny and cordial at the same time.
Feared but crazy and funniest defensive player
My All time Favorite Player of all time Love you Randle you the man.
I knew he always said bizarre things like "we should go fishing together!" but I had no idea the things he said were tailor made for his opponents :D
My goodness!! I loved this guy! SKOL! Go Vikings!!!
I wish I coulda been Alive/old enough during his time. Love seeing videos of him I remember in 2014 the first time I saw something about him on social media I was tryna emulate him in high school😂
One of the best d tech in nfl history
Mr. Randle you will probably never see this. But as a football fan I F$@KING LOVE YOU!!!!! God bless you and your family!!!
It has always impressed me how many very good players came from Texas A&M-Kingsville ( Texas A&I ).
Mr. Randle thank you for work. I loved watching you play. GOD bless
❤ Love you John Randle! Thanks for the memories
I always had a lot of respect for John randle cuz I knew he was undrafted so I new his story but now he's one of my favorite of all time after I learn more about as hard work and dedication
It really made me appreciate Hard Knocks later on the guys who come from out of nowhere to be the best players in the league. Diamonds in the rough.
This man was the epidemy of a defensive player on those Tecmo and early Madden games.. A beast of a dude talking wild smack and backing it up with explosive and unrelenting play.. John Randle..
What a great attitude. No wonder this guy is a winner, not just at football, but at life.
I always loved watching Randle play!
One classy dude. Absolute beast he was!
One of my favorite statements. Regulators Mount up. Famous line from me wonderful movie. And John Randall was the leader of those Regulators in Minnesota. John Randle, Lawrence Taylor, and Ray Lewis but fear into the hearts of the offensive coordinators and quarterbacks, and possibly some running backs.
God bless Mr Randle! Some of my favorite memories 💓
I been waiting for this for SOO LONG
Just so fun to watch!
He was the Aaron Donald in his era!
One of the best to ever do it.
My all time favorite as well!
_“I’ll kick your whole families’ ass! BUHAHAHA!”_ That’s gotta be my fave bit of trash talking ever. Bar none.
For a good few years he was the most dominant interior linemen in the game undrafted undersized but one of the greatest characters ever play the game I am glad he was a viking and went into the Hall of Fame as a Viking
He was why I watched NFL films back in the day.
He is one of my favorite defensive players of all time. Vikings need someone like him now!
One of my favorite football characters of my teenage 90s life!!
Gratitude
Man what a motor!! Wish my Vikes had a guy like him again!
John Randle was a character. Definitely one of my favorite defensive players. Should have always been mic'd up, lol
The greatest pass rushing DT in history
This guy is a true class act. I wish him well.👍🏾
at 4:47 when he rips the QBs towel off n puts it in his mouth as if hes eating it 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
10:26 This is just pure comedy right here. "its gon happen" With his whole face covered.
My favorite player hands down, Johnny Randle use to give my big bro fits on GameDay 2000 lol. SKOL Vikings
Legend
His brother, Ervin, was a fantastic middle linebacker at Baylor and in the NFL too.
John Randall was in the 93 underactive and he played for the Seattle Seahawks and Vikings with randy moss
Great Video, although a little surprising to see no mention of his "friendly rivalry with Farve.
I love this guy!
As a lifelong Vikings fan, I know we suck, this guy is my favorite Viking of all time. No quit in him. An absolute pleasure to watch.
"REGULATORS!!! MOUNT UP!! WE COMIN' !!"
Reminds me of just how more I enjoyed listening to Dan Rowe call games vs. Paul Allen.
A DT with the size (6’1”, 287lbs.), speed and quickness of a DE. He was so fast, quick and disruptive. Was a trash-talker, who kept a smile on his face.
John Randle is awesome, period. Hall of fame player and character, and seems like a cool guy too. I live in Buffalo, but Randle is in my top 5 all time favorite players.
Randle was an absolutely insane human. Damn I love it.
ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES.... but he did not get his 100th on Allen; watch it again. I would have loved to see him in today's game.
Such an awesome human
He's on my all-time team that's for sure along with Howie Long and Reggie White
i am a broncos fan, not a viking fan but Randdle will always be one of my favs
What a cool customer one of the greatest defensive tackles who ever played this game
This would make a great series. You could do every position
He was relentless player with the biggest heart for the game, he refused to be denied! Tasmanian devil with should pads on, feared and respected by QB's, they knew where he was lined up at all times! He is by far and away on of the best Vikings of all time, no one could match intensity.
For me, I feel he's the Kirby Puckett of the Vikings.
"There was one team i thought I could make it on"
Proceeds to name off amazing defense
