Tony Nathan was pretty damned good

[ChitownPhins28]

Im not sure if he had injuries or what to shorten his career, but that dude could flat out ball for a period of time.
He won them the game vs Cleveland in Jan 86. Among others.

Being a BAMA guy and Dolphin fan...Tony is one of my all time heroes..

Love Tony Nathan. One of my favorite players. I liked number 22 partly in homage to him.

 

[EJay]

He was a very good back for the time. But very much ahead of his time. IMO he was a better pass receiving back than pure runner. But he was a good runner too.

Perfect for today’s game.

If you do get him on, ask him about that 10 yard run he had against the Bears in 1985. I think even he was surprised that the field was that wide open.

If i remember right he had a very good game vs Chicago and a few long runs. Maybe 80 yards rushing or something.

If we got him on you can ask him about it

One of my all time favorite fins. He had an excellent career and could do everything - great pass catcher out of the backfield, excellent cutback abilities on sweeps - he ended his career w a very high rushing average - he could also block / was excellent in pass pro. Also return punts. Only thing he didn’t have was blazing speed. He was Lamar Miller fast but not Kenyan Drake fast if that makes sense.

PS - he could also throw it. He might be the franchise’s all time passing leader w a 117 QBR on 8 attempts!

He was a 1st team all pro his rookie year for his kickoff and punt return accomplishments.

Guy could do it all.

I was looking for that highlight and found this version.
Thought Miami was unstoppable after that play.

I remember there being a movie about a young Tony Nathan a few years ago. I think it was called Woodlawn?
