Caught Tony Dorsett from behind after Dorsett had about a 75 yard head start...

Actually, I don't know how much it was, but he was the only person to catch Dorsett from behind. No?

Yeah, it was more like 50/60 and he took a perfect angle, but regardless it was fricking spectacular. I remember being speechless a few times watching him as a youngster. I loved the way he played the game but he just wasn't one of my favorites for 2 reasons: 1, he played for the skins and 2, there was no fricking way I could ever relate to a mother fricker that was that fast

Lucky, I never saw anyone catch Dorsett from behind except Green. I watched Dorsett as a freshman at Pitt in 1973 through his Heisman winning campaign. He was the best college player I have ever seen and Green ran him down like Dorsett was running in some Steen's Cane Syrup.
