Factoid: Tony Dorsett’s college coach Johnny Majors was the brother of Lee Majors who starred as The Six Million Dollar Man.

I'm not going to say he's the best running back ever, but I am going to say I'm not sure if I've ever seen anyone better. And if I had it would only be Barry.

I was surprised to watch a Dallas Cowboys game this year [2023] and watching a DB wearing Dorsett's No. 33. I thought surely his number would've been retired. He must have left the Cowboys on bad terms.

Cowboys are reluctant to retire numbers. I think the only one that is retired is 12 for Staubach. Dorsett's son confronted the Jones family about the fact that some 3rd strong DB was running around with 33 a few years ago.

I suppose whoever is making the claim of “prettiest running back ever” never saw Gale Sayers and Berry Sanders run. Just to name two. But there are more.

He was still running a 4.3 when he got to Denver. Just think - he was in the backfield with John Elway but they didnt have much of anything else on that offense

The amazing thing is that Dallas came off an 11-3 season in 1976 and shouldn't have had a realistic shot at Dorsett. Both Seattle and Tampa Bay were expansion teams coming off their 1st seasons in the NFL - Tampa Bay was winless at 0-14 and Seattle finished 2-12. Seattle's approach to the draft was to somehow stockpile their team with solid college picks for the future and not necessarily looking for the "best" player in which they'd have to compete with other NFL teams and pay a high price for (this WAS 1976 after all). Tony Dorsett arrived in Dallas in 1977 via a draft-day deal the Cowboys swung with the Seattle Seahawks for the sole intention of selecting the Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Pittsburgh. Then Cowboys president and General Manager Tex Schramm paid what seemed like a bundle for the right to draft Dorsett: One first-round, and three second-round choices. Dallas had the shrewdest, most football-intelligent owner and scouting crews AND Head Coach in NFL history and in the end, the Cowboys, an 11-3 championship caliber team in 1976, wound up with Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett and (as legendary radio personality Paul Harvey once proclaimed) "Now you know..........the rest of the story!"

Dorsett's actual playing weight was 185lbs. There are no 185lbs running backs in the Hall of Fame. He's the first and the last. By comparison, Barry Sanders weighed 203lbs. Barry outweighed Dorsett by 20lbs. That's how light Tony was, but he stayed durable and quick/fast. He was a special one.

He was way before my time, so I can't judge based off anything but old film. He's a very smooth runner, but I'd say Gale Sayers was the prettiest RB. Tony made defenders look silly, but Gale looked like a poem in shoulder pads.

I saw both play and Dorsett is the prettiest runner ever in my opinion. Sayers was not smooth and fluid like Dorsett - and he played during segregation so there were many blacks who did not get to play that should have been out there competing against him. The same could be said about Jim Brown. Look at the old film - Brown was running over mostly white dudes.

Same here - they did not treat Dorsett right at the end and they were not the same team. I am a fan of great players now - not teams - since they change every year. Cowboys are not what they were back when Landry was coach with Staubach and Dorsett in the backfield
