Ricky Watters

Since I know many of Rick Shows readers are in the same age bracket as me, I'm sure they are likely to remember Mr. Ricky Watters, NFL running back of the 1990s.

He played college ball at Notre Dame (bleh!) and was drafted by the 49ers (yay!) in the second round of the 1991 draft.  After sitting out that first season due to injury, Ricky was the starting running back for the team for the next three seasons as the 49ers went to the NFC Championship game ('92,'93) or the Super Bowl ('94).  He then joined the Philadelphia Eagles for the following three seasons, followed by four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.

Ricky ended his professional career with 10,643 rushing yards and 4.1 yards per carry, with 78 TDs.  He also had 4248 yards receiving and 13 TDs.  Ricky Watters didn't go unrewarded, as he was a 5-time Pro Bowl member and a 3 time All-Pro selection.  He has not, however, been inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.

He is now active in charities and his foundation as well as coaching.  Find out all about Ricky at his website, http://rickywatters.com/

Ricky set an NFL record with 5 touchdowns in a playoff game once.  Here's part 1.  You can also find them all easily on his website or via his official youtube channel


Did I forget to mention that he did a song with Method Man for the NFL Jams album?

    totally remember Watters. He was one of those solid backs of the 90s that a lot of people forget about. Garrison Hearst, Robert Smith, Marshal Faulk, etc

    So around the 1:30 mark in that first video, Ricky makes the 'first down' signal after he runs for one. Maybe it's because I'm becoming an old curmudgeon, but I thought that I didn't start seeing players do that until the 2000s.

      Are you surprised that a Rick is a trendsetter? You shouldn't be.
