83 TD's in 65 games and no one talks about Priest Holmes.

It's always talk about, Terrell Davis, Adrian Peterson, LT, Arian Foster, etc....
Have people forgotten about how effective Priest Holmes was?
He's rarely mentioned in the great NFL rbs debates.

Remember him well. He was very good and is very underrated.

He was really good. He also ran behind arguably the best offensive line of the decade.

Longevity is key in being remembered. also, he got to run behind some killer offensive lines

I always evaluate an offensive line before I give a RB his due. Priest was a good RB, but like others said, he was given huge holes to run through.

It probably doesn't help Priest that his replacement came in and dominated for a couple years too.

Its b/c he played the bulk of his career in Kansas City. If he was on a team like the Jets he would get way more love.

I mean his greatness window was 3 seasons in KC and as others have pointed out it was behind a heck of a line. He isn't mentioned with reason, it was a fleeting career. Injuries certainly didn't help there either.

Larry Johnson had a couple of 1700 yard seasons behind that line too after Holmes left.
but Holmes scored 21 more TD's as a Chief than LJ did.
Holmes beat him in yardage but not as by much as I thought.

Adrian Peterson and LT are/were better than Priest Holmes. Foster is currently playing, so he gets talked about, and TD had the Super Bowl
Priest was FUN to watch. I also remember Larry Johnson playing well for a couple seasons then collapsing.

He was a fantasy football gold in the early 2000s
Posted on 10/9/15 at 8:22 am to Paul Allen
He was a goal line TD machine. Never ran for more than 1615 yds in a season.

Very underrated....dude carried the shite out of those Chiefs teams.
Posted on 10/9/15 at 9:05 am to Paul Allen
I think the most underrated recent RB was Fred Taylor.
Posted on 10/9/15 at 10:52 am to Paul Allen
He was a beast for a short period of time.

Has everything to due with longevity. He was among the best in the league for a few years, but only a few. I was a big fan of Holmes at the time
