And of course the classic "GTFO of my way" shoulder of boom to Mike Doss on the way to the house with a look back. Freddy was awesome. As good and as exciting as MJD was to watch. Freddy's accomplishments in spite of missing probably 3 - 4 years worth of football is nothing short of amazing. 

I know a lot of folks clamor for Boselli and Smith to be in the HoF. I think Freddy deserves to be numero uno on that list IMHO.

FT also had a run against Pittsburgh at the end of the 1998 season where he trucked a S (Bo Orlando) at the goal line.  I still smile at that memory.

As for "little man," he had a lethal stiff arm against Chicago in the opening week of that same season.  I always thought James Stewart was not only under appreciated but unfairly maligned here in Jacksonville, largely because of where he went to college.  Was he a great RB?  No, but he was a quality player and citizen for us.
