Bro completed the main story and is now doing side quests. Legend.
Best comment ever.
I think his family IS the main quest. NFL was the appetizer...closed it saying how happy he is to be a dad and husband...and it shows.
So awesome.
Yo, I laughed so hard at this, only Madden fans would get this.
ain't no small side quest my friend
He made millions in the nfl, retired in 10 years to preserve his body and now making an honest living doing something he actually enjoys
The dream
Unless you're lucky, you don't really ''preserve'' your body after a 10year long NFL run.
@@vm360fly as a lineman you pretty much do except for your knees in some cases. Not like you are taking any big hits.
@@jacksonmcglothlin7886 idk... lineman's hands on both sides of the ball get pretty messed up tangling on the LoS...
@@jocky0921 a little hand injury is gonna heal up rq not like ur gonna get permanent damage
Made $41m during his playing career and now he is humble enough to be a lunch man! What a legend!
It's nice to see a football player that pulled the plug at the right time, isn't shaking or a drug addict, doesn't need a cane, isn't throwing around money at strip joints and isn't completely broke and working part time as a bus driver because he didn't budget smartly. There's no shame in being a bus driver, but it's nice seeing him doing something he enjoys.
I can only speak for the shaking and cane because the time will unfortunately come when the effects of CTE and past injuries can no longer be held back as one ages. I loved playing contact sports, but how I suffer from it now at mid-life makes me ponder whether it was worth it.
I wish more NFL and NBA players had this kind of drive to help their community and kids. Seeing an example like this in schools is what our kids need as an encouragement to be good human beings, not just striving for MORE AND MORE AND MORE material things. Such an inspiration!
welp... its more about the fame then actually doing good for some
You mean twitting and kneeling really does nothing for your community?
you would be surprised how many of them really do. just gotta research it yourself and not expect the news outlets to drop it in your lap.. and i dont mean that in a rude way i mean it as news outlets just wont run a story about the bench kicker who helps the local kid get his equipment.. you know what i mean?
@@BruinsPastaSauce but they do though. How do u think people even know of some of the charity work these guys do? News articles and social media reporting. Thats how i know about any work they do cz i definitely dont follow these athletes on any social media outlet.
@@yvonnecortes_as someone who follows nba he’s statements is completely true…I’d say 50% of nba players help at least the community they grew up in…have a gym they support, a school basketball program they support a lot of these players aren’t even making top dollar so it does go unnoticed by the media. For example I’m a raptors fan and many players help kids on this team but it’s a Canadian team so it won’t exactly be shown by American media…
The clip of him towering over the kids as he is walking down the hallway reminds me of Arnold in “Kindergarten Cop”
Who is your Daddy and what NFL team does he root for?
It's not a tumah!
@@birdmantd You beat me to the punch!
My father
Was cop
Get me the choppperr!
*proceed to chop up some ham
As a school child nutrition director myself I completely relate to him because I get those comments too. He is doing such a terrific job👍
thank you
Yeah because it's a fee paying school they have the budget to do it
@@graememorgan9278 Most public schools do too, but they instead spend thousands of dollars on reading and math curriculums that they don't actually need because they don't have good leadership and lack resourceful teachers. They also throw a bunch of food away and starve the kids because of random rules made by superintendents. Food should be a number one priority. Can't learn if you're starving.
Most athletes lose it, physique-wise, when they retire. Dude looks in way better shape now then he did during his playing days.
O-line men always lose weight but yea most other athletes are the opposite
That’s what I said
Joe thomas looks a lot different also
As a former crazy lunch lady lol, I admire his hard work and dedication to the kids in providing them with good meals every day. For anyone who has never work in a school cafeteria, I can tell you from experience it is HARD work and these women and men do not get enough recognition. God bless you. ❤❤
Well done NFL films, well done.
To you Mr.Veldheer it looks like the world is a better place with you in it.
I think its really cool how he tries to make foods that kids dislike more approachable by actually caring about the seasoning and balance. I remember hating the school lunch growing up because it was all just processed and bland junk. I would've loved to have him working at my school.
Well I cant say every lunch crew really cares or if they are just doing their job in a dull daze. However they also put some challenging restrictions on the foods content.
Gosh he looks so different slimmed down. I thought it was two different people. So awesome that he's doing something that he loves and of service to his community.
I'm amazed at how trim he is. Most linemen are massive... not only muscle but just mass... so they can push people around. It appears he was able to slim up after retiring, and I applaud him for that. The calorie intake these guys do is all but inhuman, and breaking yourself from that has to be extremely difficult.
difficult? For many players it's a big relief to come back to a more natural weight for them , if that's the case (and it is often). It's even more visible in strongman , these guys describe eating as even harder part of the job than actual working out.
@@maciejguzek3442 still would be a difficult adjustment after having done it since high school.
@@nealwright5630 Difficult for you or for me, that's for sure :) We don't really know what sits in the head of that one promille-of-a-promille who becomes an elite pro. I think difficulty is determined by whether his weigth at pros was 'natural' or not (deliberately achieved by a determined effort, as part of a job of a pro). He looks much more natural as a slim dude, but this is only my impression of an ignorant onlooker. btw my thoughts about this stuff may be under impression of Hafthor Bjornsson weight loss (50kg immediately lost after retirement by 6'9 World Strongest Man, but it's a slightly different case because he went down from ~200 to 150kg)
He no longer has to eat 5,000 calories a day - I can't imagine eating 3,000 in a day. I think I'd vomit if I had to eat 5,000 lol
bringing the NFL nutrition to school, what a legend
As a former student here, everyone LOVES him and all of the middle school boys are obsessed with him ❤. Plus, the food 100% upgraded when he came!
Him trying to make them eat that salad and that kid in the back ground screaming we don’t care 😂😂😂😂😂 I love what he is doing tho it’s really is great!!!
I don't know this guy, never heard of him, don't follow NFL as much, don't know why the YT algorithm recommended this....but just seeing this is beautiful gesture of service esp when you are on the top of the world. Such an inspiration, for the kids and for me. Made me rethink how I can be better as a caretaker at my home church here in Kenya.
That's the life man, retired doing what he loves and raising his family .
Did anyone else catch when he was telling the kids to try the slaw saying it’s good for them someone shouts out “i don’t care” 😂😂😂😂 had me dead
really made me wanna cry seeing him serving REAL food for the kids.. this guy is doing God's work here..
Absolutely love this! I was in corporate work since 17 and after my kids left the next I made a change. I work as the head cook at a school and it is absolutely the most rewarding job I ever had!
As a school food service director I applaud you! Our children are the future. Good nutrition with a fruit and vegetable forward menu is essential to positive growth both physically and mentally.
Once a Raider always a Raider! Dope to see him loving post career life!
Came here just for this! Dude is still proudly repping the nation. Arguably one of the most underrated raiders of all time
None of us will ever forget the pic of him absolutely yoked RN4L
What about Henry Ruggs and Damon Arnette?
@@lambdalambdalambda257 look Lamar. Yes even them.
@@mjf1517 You do realize I wasn't asking you right?
Anyone else here “we don’t care” at 6:24 😂😂
What a great story. He could retire snd live a comfortable life but instead he is making a massive difference to his school community.
I still remember that photo of him in the gym surrounded by other athletes. He was massive, made everyone around him look tiny
Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a real man.
So sweet that he is devoting the time to his children, the children at the school. Memories for his children through their lives, that at some point they will find themselves looking back on and cherishing the relationship all the more. 🙂
Great husband, father, community member.
He had $40 million in NFL earnings and walked away young.
Dude was REALLY pushing the slaw throughout the entire vid 😂
wouldn't be surprised if he comes out with a tutorial on how to make it after this 😅😅
As a cook I love that you are making them try new food not a lot of kids get to try new foods when they go home and this opens up a lot of new opportunities!!
This is just ridiculously inspirational. He's not the statistic and what he's doing will motivate others to find a calling to serve/give back to their communities in their own way. Props to the this guy and the school!
He made a career in NFL, but he
made better carrier than ever!!
I really proud of this gentleman!
Nutrition is probably one of the most misunderstood and least valued sciences in schools K-12 it’s so important to start kids early on the values of home cooking nutrition
I was a food and nutrition 4h teacher in our local school to 4th and 5th graders and I LOVE seeing this! Bravo! We need more like him!
Hillsdale Charger here-thank you for the new weight room. The old one before 2014 was wretched. The new one is glorious. Happy you made it to the NFL and made Hillsdale proud, and are living a life of virtuous manhood for your family and community.
Ad Maiorem Dei Gloria
We need more people like him inside our schools.
This video brought tears to my eyes! I really like how much his wife and children support his choices. The school and community are truly blessed.
Walking down the hallway with all those shorty's cracked me up
"lets rock and roll"; "now we're cruising"; Jared is in full dad mode, we love to see it
Stg Wow what a humble guy. He made made almost 50 Mill from the league, this dude def doesn’t have to work and can live in a crazy ass house, but from what I’ve seen and read about him, this guy is probably setting a whole lot of that aside for his kids
My dad works with his dad. Was hoping they did some story like this humble family
Beautiful story! This man is special!! Made me cry a little, he did!
These are the kind of role models we need in society.
People who do things like this, in their little corner of the world, don't realize how big a difference that can make in th aggregate. You get 10, 100, 1000 people doing stuff like this and you can effect change. I salute him.
My boy in the trackhawk, when you want to go fast but have to consider the family!!
I love this so much!!!! My little brother is the pickiest eater, he would only eat pizza & bread ever since he was 3 or 4… He never got to experience all the delicious flavors! He’s now 14 and has such a hard time eating healthy. I appreciate him for doing this!!! Kids need to pushed out of their comfort zones & supported 😄
What an absolute chad
Giga chad
That’s me!
As someone who is lucky enough to have lunch with my elementary school kid once a month im pretty jealous of this man being able to do it everyday. Good for him to make that happen
This is awesome! I'm so impressed! So many kids don't ever get introduced to new foods so this is great! I wish more people in other areas of life decided to do this! He's making a difference by showing he cares too what they eat! 🙌☺️
This just felt like an ad for Jared's coleslaw lol. Super cool guy
Every parent wants their children around a man like this. Mr Veldheer hats off to a 10 yr great nfl career and an even better career as a kitchen hand feeding the youth
5:34 the most polite kid ever. Wow!
This is in my "Made Me Smile" playlist and always serves to remind me what's important in life and look past the fluff
Awesome role model. We need more dudes like JV.
Solid. Love seeing people giving back in places least expected especially a big commitment and not a instant toss of money at a problem but actual real time into a community.
Hats Off!!! My guess is that he retired with enough, and this is a great way to relax, and do something great in his community.
dude was 6'8/320. And hes still probably 270+lbs. A Giant of a man
This is a reminder that there’s good people in the world
I’m glad that he’s doing something that is good for his family and others
Someone giving back in huge amounts, what a star! Respect!
heck i love the guy. real man real hero who loves kids and gives back living a happy life. Nothing wrong with that ppl.
He definitely subsidizes the good food cuz he wants his kid and his classmates eating the best ingredients possible haha that’s awesome
It's cool seeing him wander around grabbing stuff in costco. He stands out, clearly, but he's just vibing haha. Seems like a cool dude
I am glad he is healthy and giving back. I was one hell of a player
They say NFL players blow all their money and have to work 9-5s but dang. Nah just kidding, really humble and cool of him to take this path.
They should do a study on the learning outcomes of this school compared to others in the area based on the meals they’re eating
Great story! What a blessing all the children at this school.
What a great story. Total awesome ❤
That's a great story, I'm glad he can do such a rewarding job and not have to worry about money.
What a beautiful story about a beautiful man. Sending him a big, fat hug and kiss. ❤
So proud of Jarrod from small school college to Allpro Raider OT!! This is what's its all about folks. Sometimes life's rewards are not just a Trophy but how you live life!! Try It It Works!! Great Job Jarrod 👍
I love this SO MUCH!! All our schools are so short staffed! In our area, the schools are BEGGING for bus drivers :( Every Professional Chef in the country would LOVE him for doing this! Plus every Mommy would too!
Well just got recommended this and its one of the sweetest things Ive seen in a while, I love this.
This man is blessed by Jesus and I’m not even a Christian. What a G. I would love to be just like him one day, but that’s going to be hard considering the bar he set. You just know there was a coach in his life that was absolutely inspirational to him and he’s’ paying it forward.
Great rapport with the students........great job Mr. Veldheer!!
What an awesome man thank you for feeding the kids .
Good for him. Good for that school. And good for the community. Great story...
Complimenting veggies with a smidge of sweetness, is how I prepared food for my sons during their childhoods. As they grew and became men, they learned to eat/prepare it without needing those additives. They are balanced eaters and know to treat their bodies with respect. I'm proud that they also treat their minds, souls and hearts the same way. Teaching them to take just as much care of their mental health as their physical health is an extremely important component of raising a child. It's not easy, nor without it's pitfalls and traumas...but necessary.
God Bless you brother Jared, keep up the great work
I know there are those examples like this man. But it is few and far between. May his footing continue on and become an impression that flourishes here, there and everywhere. So amazing to witness. All about the next generations.
Oh my goodness that’s so rewarding! Loved my lunch ladies growing up, they were such Angels. Love that he introduces different foods to these kids palates and on top of that it’s nutritious.
Legend on and off the field my man!!!!
In a world full of shittyness be a Mr. Veldheer!
Absofuckinglutely
This is sweetest thing I have seen! This guy is a legend!
What a great guy! Hats off to him
Big respect to him and his approach. Smart man
I love this! Aside from the nutrition aspect, being of service is a life lesson that's invaluable to personal growth and spiritual evolution... what a wonderful example he is setting for future generations
Imagine what we could do with our public schools ❤
What a great retirement. Doing something valuable because he is able to.
Love the guy, love the concept! All school children deserve beautful meals like these.
What a cool dude and what a great school and kids too.
Great story. There IS life after football. You can find meaning and drive and all sorts of places if you look for it.
Now that's a great career path! And also an amazing example of a really good man. May God bless his work!
More meaningful stories like this...Well done Mr. Veldheer...Positive Role Model and educator of the importance of proper nuitrition from an early age! 😉👏💪✌️🤟🤘
Love is LOVE.
This man is the definition of that💕
God bless him.
You'd be surprised what a life of service will do not only for those around you but for yourself
This man is a True Hero 😊to offer his skills and talents for the service of school children ❤after making millions 😮and still having so much more to give ❤truly this is what the children of the world 🌎 need most!!!! Genuinely caring adults willing to serve the most vulnerable with love ❤️ and integrity to MAKE THE CHILDREN’S LIVES BETTER. We are headed in the right direction with this one!!!! Bravo 👏
Love this! I wish I had these awesome meal options as a kid. These kids will grow up and remember the great meals they ate 😊😊❤
This is an awesome story . What good man . And great story for the kids to tell later
What an awesome story
