Re: It was Jaguar Jon Arnett - I caught that too.

Mentioned it in the other thread.

And as you undoubtedly have, I've combed the highlight reels and this is one that eluded me. The others I've seen show the ho-hum, big hole, back-runs-through stuff that litter everybody's highlight reels. This one shows the kind of moves that set Arnett apart. He had close to Barry Sanders-like jukes, better field vision, and ran with more power. He was also a better blocker and receiver out of the backfield.

Some of Arnett's best runs didn't go for that much yardage, but displayed an incredible blend of courage, athleticism, and sheer will just to make a short gain.

I don't know what this yards after contact stats would look like - but take a second look at this highlight reel. He seldom had a clear hole to run through.

In one kick return that was used as a commercil back in the day, he took the kick three yards deep and all eleven members of the kicking team got their hands on him before he scored.
