Emmitt Smith Upperdeck Game Breakers Hologram insert. I almost didn't show this card to friends..it was that good back in the day.

Remember this little guy? 5'7", 195lbs. Look how high he is in that photo. I always thought he jumped off someone's back during that play.

Dave Meggett

I was a fan of any little guy that got the job done and Dave Meggett was the real deal. Unfortunately he also has a laundry list of arrests for sexual assault and other crimes. Most notably owing almost $200K in back child support and robbing a prostitute in a hotel room in Toronto. Why these guys always letting us down?

Bo Knows Tecmo


Why is this so great to watch? It's like I'm 12 again. This guy burns a whole quarter on one Bo Jackson run. Tecmo!

Barry Foster

Foster blew it up in 1992 with almost 1,700 rushing yards. You couldn't touch the guy. Then of course, the next few years he fell victim to injury. He also coached the Rhein Fire in NFL Europe (now defunct.)

But most amazingly of all his wiki states: He announced that he had saved his money and had enough to retire.

Harvey Williams

This guy sure had one long neck.

Eric Metcalf

Metcalf was great on returns with all his little jukey moves.

Gerald Riggs

This guy just scored touchdowns. 69 total for the career. Two in the Super Bowl vs. Buffalo. One season he ran just 80 times, 11 of which were TD's.

Christian Okoye

card-workfile-01_0068_Layer 32
This is what most Christian Okoye plays looked like, his hand extended and the defender on their back. I loved this guy. Nicknamed the Nigerian Nightmare he was a force to be wreckenned with. I was really into the Chiefs as a kid so watching him bull through the Raiders was a joy.

I'll always remember the hit Steve Atwater put on him. That was a doozy. Immediate respect for Atwater from that point on. When I made a big hit in the backyard I started shouting, "Atwater!"

Craig "Ironhead" Heyward

Craig "Ironhead" Heyward (September 26, 1966-May 27, 2006) RIP.
I loved the Ironhead! This guy would buck and bull his way through defenses all day long. He was a beast. Plus he always seem to be having fun and even laughing during the game. Unfortunately he passed away from cancer. He's probably still bucking defenders in a big game up in the clouds.
