Cool to see that 3 years ago he recognized Justin Fields who is now the 11th pick of the NFL Draft
Was literally about to comment about how cool it is to have him most likely being the starter of a nfl team by the end of this upcoming season
He didn’t recognize any of these players. They were literally listed on the recruiting lists by ESPN and Co.
This is so cool
Bear Down
And is now being ruined by the bears because Bears
Respect to Patrick Peterson’s dad for making grades a priority👌🏻👌🏻
@@treygowdyspurpletie9878 Yer funny. This is an overlooked comment.
The Tuskegee Airmen brought back every single plane
#Handfullofaces
No doubt... Great idea on Dad their. Most parents wouldn't risk the cash cow but he wanted him to have a successful attitude.
Imagine if Pat didn't have that character...One of the greatest corners ever never happens.
This dude's Dad is the best. More Fathers should invest in their child's education than in a roll of the dice of making it into the pros. That education never leaves or let's you down. Hand claps to my boy's Pop
Think about Julio and AJ In the same high school class
I think think it happens
?
While not as highly ranked in high school, the 2017 Alabama WR class wasn’t shabby. Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs, and Devonta Smith. Unfortunately, Ruggs made a terrible decision and destroyed his legacy.
I actually know Jermie Calhoun, I grew up watching him play in my
Hometown. He’s now a personal trainer in the town he played in. Really good dude.
I was wondering what ever happened to Julio Jones. That guy just dropped off the face of the planet when he left Alabama. 😂
Nathan Woodley Riiiiiight 😂😂😂
What ever happened to his social media accounts haha
I heard he became a Mexican bounty hunter!
jeremy brown That’s right! He’s the one that caught El Chapo
Troy Maharrey I think you missed the joke
I was born in Alabama and when I heard him say Tuskegee like that I had to check to see if there was like a small city called Tuskajee
deharleyva ...or the famous “Tuskegee Experiments” where the U.S Medical Association asked for Black Male volunteers for a medical experiment with the promise of free medical treatment during & after for themselves & immediate family (if they needed medical treatment unrelated to their father or husband’s ailment) plus room & board during the span of the experiment. Poor Black Males from rural Alabama were injected with the viral bacteria that causes a vereneal disease to see how long after being infected it took to see symptoms & to document them. But the uproar was because a few researching doctors went rogue & instead of giving test subjects the antidote, which was penicillin (discovered to kill the Syphillis bacterial virus a few years prior) it was withheld to see how long it took for the disease to cause other stages such as lost of eye sight, &/or unconscious coma before treatment. Sometimes they withheld the antidote to document how long it took from being infected to death. Some died but most went blind, became sterile or their mental health was affected 100% percent. This went on for over 3 decades until it was caught & stopped. Specific laws were enacted & enforced because of these egregious acts towards poor African American Males & it wasn’t fully acknowledged by the United States until the Nineties ... Tuskegee is famous also for George Washington Carver & his inventions & discoveries, most done at his alma mater Tuskegee Institute (Now University), an H.B.C.U located in Alabama... 👍🏾
Chadwicked B .... Best damn Pilots in the Army Air Corps during WWII !! My Paternal Grandfather, although not an official Tuskegee trained pilot flew with them in Europe from 1942 until the end of the war. He was an Allied Pilot, trained in Liverpool, England 🏴 by the British Royal Air Force. My Grandfather is from Belize, a country in Central America on the Coast of the Caribbean Sea. Back in 1943, Belize was a colony of the Crown, Great Britain 🇬🇧 under Queen Elizabeth II. When Germany declared War on France, The U.S & Great Britain, England had young men between 20 & 25 who had finished their studies at University level who wanted to learn to fly & defend the crown to go to their town’s city hall so that they could see if they were eligible via birth papers and could past their physicals & mental assessment before being inducted in England’s Armed Forces. This was done in every colony of Great Britain including Jamaica 🇯🇲, Trinidad 🇹🇹 &Tobago, The British Virgin Islands 🇻🇬, Fiji 🇫🇯, New Zealand 🇳🇿, Australia 🇦🇺, Hong Kong 🇭🇰, India 🇮🇳 Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and 2 provinces in Canada 🇨🇦 (remember this is 1942). After training my grandfather unit was assigned to Italy (I forget the town at this moment) & flew several Allied missions alongside their regiment. I can remember him telling me that during the war, It was the first time he ever experienced racism & name calling & it wasn’t from captured German flyers from the Luftwaffe. It was from his own so called Allied Caucasian American flyboys. So sorry I turned my comment into a short essay but it brought back memories of my Grandfather & his war stories... 🙂👍🏾
Mark Reneau Jesus fucking Christ, I didn’t know we were having a history lesson.
Lol I had to run a make too
😂
Now justin fields is coming into this draft. Time flies
Time does fly
Damn can’t believe 2008 was an entire decade ago. Time sure flies...
JKI what sport do you play in college?
I graduated from high school in 2008 man hard to believe it's been 10yrs
Corey Riddle I graduated in 2007 🤦🏽♂️
I was also a top 25 prospect in the country that year... WR
IKR, same i'm like already my old ass is getting old already. SMH! lol
No joke!
Why did he say Tuskegee like that?
because he can. fuck tuskegee.
Tusk-ah- g
May I suggest he's a dumbass?
tusk squeegee
Tuh-ski-gii
Being from Alabama, it physically hurt to hear this pronunciation of "Tuskegee"
@@treygowdyspurpletie9878 hoping that's sarcasm...
Go back and take the experiment. And shut the fuck up
he’s from Idaho, I’m from Alabama myself, cut him some slack
Allen B you can thank Booker T Washington for Starting that school
12:20 who’s here when Fields is this QB2 in this draft class
Calhoun is a perfect example about hype goes nuts when a helmet school offers. He ran a 4.9 40 at a one of those prospect camps. It was no surprise to a lot of people who follow TX HS football recruiting in detail that he didn't make it.
Pryor can be a great backup qb and needs to be utilized for trick plays more often. He got 1000 yards his first year as a receiver and people say he's no good. He's such an underrated player in my opinion.
If your wondering who could be ranked higher than AJ Green...it’s Julio Jones
Nick Ryan hm I didn’t know Greene had a title ring.
Justin Fields.... as a Georgia fan, I’ve been so hyped over this kid for the past few years but leave it to Kirby and crew to let him rot on the bench his Freshman season and now he’s transferred to OSU and will probably win the Heisman within 2 years. The kid will be a star and we lost out big time letting him walk
yep
Time flies man
Time flies man
Tuskegee is pronounced "TUS-KEE-GEE."
I know right, how could someone who is into sports not know that
Even if you aren't into sports, the airmen are famous.
That Sacramento State English department isn't very strong...
You have to do more years, this idea was brilliant!
Yeah, straight from espn and exactly the same list. Brilliant!
John Chestnutt how is it straight from espn he did research?
Fr
10 Years Ago Lions 0-16
I wonder what team will go 0-16 in 2026? As now every 9 years a team will go 0-16.
Marylandbrony the Patriots
Marylandbrony probably the lions
Cleveland next year 🤣
You had to bring that up?
I met Patrick Petersen while a marshal at a celebrity Pro Am golf tournament here in Orlando and he is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Oh, and a very good golfer as well.
wild how he shows justin fields at the end crazy to show where his is now
I subed to KTO when he was only at around 1k subs. I am glad he is doing well. His insight to the sport is much appreciated. Thanks man. Keep up the good work.
Finally, a new video! Welcome back man. You too, SeatGeek sponsor lol.
Ohhh Da'Quan. As a Clemson fan, with him it's always "what could have been". Guy was absolutely insane when he wanted to be. Much like you said, alot like Clowney in the sense of when he wanted to try, he was unstoppable. But often would take plays off. One of those deals where things in high school were so easy for him that he never perfected his craft or developed new pass rush moves.
When I saw fields I went like 😮
TP didn’t just have a solid college career, it was amazing. He was one of the best players in football for every year he started. As a buckeye fan, i watched every game and he was simply incredible
No. 9 sure sounds like Josh Allen
sounds more like josh rosen, with all the injuries.
Garrett Morrison Josh Allen is shit
Michael Rupp lol
Josh Allen going be Cutler drafted for his arm and that's it
Dick Johnson You ever even watched a game? 😂😂
I was driving home listening to this and had to stop to hear about Jermie Calhoun. Dude was a freaking legend here in Van. I remember when his little brother got into high school and all the hype about it, sadly never amounted to anything because of injuries. It's one of those what if moments everyone wished they got to see.
As a Ravens fan I’ll say that Will Hill was way more than a ST player for us. He’d be a starter to this day if not for continually failing drug tests. He was really good in single coverage against TEs and a physical presence against the run.
Will Hill was actually on the Giants in 2013 and he was a beast
Flux Wonder Facts..
Talk about a waste of talent. He was very good for the Ravens too. Too bad he is a dumb thug.
@@mpound97 White man here - can confirm. Will Hill was certainly troubled. A lot of youths like Will hill struggle when coming from background in poverty or broken homes. It is not an issue unique to black teens but socio-economically speaking, especially in sports, they get a fair share of the spotlight.
He is from west orange nj. Median home price $411k. Far from poverty and broken homes.
@@Mentek86 The median home price in most of that area of NJ is high. It's right outside Manhattan. $411k gets you a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath house there. Median home price is no indicator of status in that area of the country. As a matter of fact, here is a pic showing what West Orange looks like: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Orange,_New_Jersey#/media/File:Main_Street,_West_Orange,_New_Jersey.jpg
Look, I'm not saying Will was a poor black kid raised by a single mom living in a tiny house surrounded by crime, I'm just saying that is not an uncommon narrative in college athletics. Many athletes DO come from that background. I'm only refuting your point because I do not think it's accurate.
“Suspended for selling his bowl game jerseys”. Really?
Corny Name bunch of bullshit
AJ Green played for my high school’s #1 rival. The rival defense he played against had Carlos Dunlap, Robert Quinn and Byron Maxwell on it
Damn!
Your videos had been slipping into my recommended as of late. Good stuff. Found out you, too, were a Browns fan. You got my support. Great content, my guy!
I remember watching Terrelle Pryor play against my team when I was like 5. He was such an amazing player. I faintly remember him destroying our team.
you should make this a series!
Am I the only one who thought what he did at 7:00 was incredible??
No
That Will Hill play was nuts. I was hanging out with my friend Will, funny enough. And he’s a huge ravens fan. He was checking the score on his phone and the game cast said that the browns had attempted a field goal but it was taking forever to load and he kept wondering if there was a penalty, and then I said out loud “ what if they blocked it and ran it back for a touchdown?” And that’s exactly what happened.
Please make more of these, I love them. Earlier in 2000s Or do one of all QBs per class
Watching this before the draft and seeing Justin Fields high school tape is cool. Dude succeeded in college and now we'll see about the pros.
Daquan Bowers was a beast in high school. I remember attending a high school combine but pretty much all the recruits were there to see him. He looked like a man among boys out there... A some ten years ago... Time flies!
I knew everything about this class at the time because I got pulled up as a freshman to play middle line backer by our schools greatest coach in history. Since that happened I got into recruiting big time. I remember Tom lemming was the main person I followed for recruiting. Good times lol
247>espn for recruiting
_kyle26_ scout> 247 >ESPN for recruiting
ESPN 5stars are better the 247s
Rivals>Scout>Espn
I don't know why y'all are putting Scout on the list because they may be BY FAR the worst recruiting service in the country. Its funny how he has Fields at the end of the video as the #1 recruit when every other recruiting service has Trevor Lawrence. There is a reason why Georgia never recruited Fields until Lawrence committed to Clemson because Georgia went hard after Lawrence before they ever even considered offering Fields. You ask any college coach and Lawrence would be the guy every one of them would want and it wouldn't be close.
Daniel Mobley huh ???
I love this video man. Could you do more videos like these on the top ten players from a recruiting in different years. I have a couple of years that you can do on the top ten players in a recruiting class:
2005
2012
2013
2007
2009
2014
Thanks man
Huge browns fan here, I was at that game against the Ravens. Couldn’t believe that happened. Hopefully this years team can ball out!
Tuskegee (tuss-key-gee)
Darius Roston thanks for actually posting how to say it unlike the other people here
Yo kto I genuinely love your videos so much thanks for uploading a lot! Notification squad btw
I'm basic
Also 2 people from south Carolina that's amazing I've lived in SC all my life I'm hype (sadly only 1 was good)
Love the videos I wish I had the talent you have and you’ve motivated me to kind of start my own CZcams channel about football!
What is you CZcams Chanel name
Julio could become arguably the greatest wr an history. In his 8 years, he averages 90.4 yards per game, and if he keeps that averages for the next 8 years, he will pass Jerry Rice in receiving yards, having the most of all time. He also just became the 5th receiver in history to have three straight 1,500 yard seasons. He also recently passed Calvin Johnson, with the fastest wr in history to reach 10,000 yards receiving
I’d say Justin Fields turned out alright
Yah
I remember being so psyched when I heard we got Terrell Pryor in the supplemental draft.
Tuh-skee- ghee its the school i attend and you mispronounced it
King Bmo LOL bro TUSK A GEE I was crying.
Aye!! #TU Ball and Parlay bro 😂
Stg I was like wtf when he said that lol 😂 cause I go to Winston-Salem State and I was like cmon man can’t pronounce the HBCUs wrong.
It’s okay he’s white I’ll give him a pass
Boo-hoo
What you said about Pryor is.....exactly right. Buckeyes fans like myself do have a weird relationship with him. I kinda love him, kinda don't, and really wish for his sake that he would have given up on the QB dreams much earlier than he did. I think he is a much better receiver, though certainly not great, than he ever was as a QB. But he did make a very interesting career for himself, so I guess we have to call it a success, especially considering most of the other guys on this list never made it into the NFL.
I ran into DaQuan Bowers here in Myrtle beach about 2 years ago at a high school game. We played him in the lower state championship our senior year and went onto win the state title. I honestly hate it didn't work out for him but man, he was a beast in H.S.
Will Hill was in one of my connected franchise series and I had no clue who he was lmao! He ended up being like the number 2 safety for the 3 seasons I had him
That Justin fields clip gave me goosebumps
Especially being bama jus beat that ass a couple months prior too :/
Time stamp
@@cberbo 😂😂
Great content KTO.
Love these! Do every year possible!
200K on the horizon👏🏾
idle in fish tank
Please do more of these vids of high school top 10 recruits
Jermie Calhoun was my running back at Angelo State.
He works with my kids now in van Texas and is a good family man.
Who knew that only a year and a half later Justin Fields would be blowing a chance at the National Championship for Ohio State...
Actually it was the receivers fault. He cut back instead of running forward. He would caught it easily
@@jakeadkins2034 Yeah, your stud RB who was sensational all game waving his hands like a mad man because he was wide open wasn't his fault either, huh?!
Even if the receiver doesn't fall that's an insanely tight window to try to go to especially when it's compounded by Dobbins being WIDE OPEN.
Great video as always KTgoat
Yes KTO pinned it! My life is complete!!
lol he liked it...
*KTO & FLEMLO RAPS ARE THE G.O.A.T.S OF "WHERE ARE THEY?" SPORT DOCS!*
Such a great video. Thanks!
I love Pryor, one of the nicest athletes ever. Saw him play at Jeanette when I was 8 years old he was my idol.
Great video! Puts all those high school players in perspective. Looking forward to how both Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence play in college. Will be veerrrry interesting.
How was it man?
I think that they did OK. 😂
Wait a couple of years on Justin Fields, I have a feeling something weird happened with him. From Georgia, committed to Penn State for some reason, then decommitted and went back to Georgia. That was a weird series of events, and I can't help but feel something fishy happened there.
Definitely keep this series going
Wow i never knew what happened to these guys! Thanks for the video!
Keep it up KTO you've been doing amazing
As a ATL fan, I saw Julio in the thumbnail and said "He looks familiar"
Hope u will do more. Loved it
Before starting on the Ravens Will Hill was a borderline pro bowl caliber safety with the NY Giants before they released him after two failed drug tests.
As a Buckeyes fan and browns fan, I love TP. He was electric at Ohio state. So what. He sold memorabilia to earn some money for him and his family
Anybody would do it tbh
NCAA is a bonified hypocrite and tressel was an amazing coach. PAY THE PLAYERS NCAA!!
I love your videos, but if you could make one about the NIU great Garrett Wolfe? I personally think you'll do an amazing job and people will learn that he was one of the best damn RBs in CFB history. Not to mention having a lackluster pro career lol. Definitely didn't live up to expectations.
Tim Maloney I remember thinking he'd run a sub 4.3 40. He ended up running like a 4.6. 🤦🏾♂️
He was on the bears at one point right?
Keep doing this series going back and seeing what top recruiting classes have done. Next year you can do the 2009 class.
Great video man. U never let me down
Oh god, he used the ESPN rankings.
What a rookie.
BromanderInChief is your pic the chowder guy from Simpson's?
Yeah ESPN is the absolute worst
Sure, ESPN isn't the best resource for recruiting rankings, but the lists don't mean shit for these vids. It's all about the players.
@@nicoblaytherealflamingo445 no
Anthony Cucci ha, he changed ut
2:21 LMAOOO "tuss-kuh-jee" hahaha
Hey man ready for that draft tomorrow can't wait as a browns fan, its now or never
You're a football encyclopedia! Keep up this awesome work!
Watching this at the start of 2020 and the clip of Justin fields at the end as a teaser for the future is pretty cool after he was a Heisman finalist at OSU
It’s confirmed....the denials go to the Canadian Football League aka “Denial League”
As a Canadian, we refer to it as the Comedy Football League
Warren Moon, Brandon Browner and Doug Flutie played in the CFL.
it is known
Or if u jus like football n wanna keep playing for money
Instead of the Lombardi trophy they have the Rob Ford trophy
The thing about high school rankings now is its about what school you go to and what kind of connections your coach got. We had a guy in our team that was good but was only a first team district player getting small d2 offers he went to a bigger school doing the same thing and became a top 25 player mid season. All about connections and competition
Love this video concept. You should do this for other years
The voice of Mike Terico still echos through my mind. "WILL HILL IS GONNA WIN THE GAME ON A BLOCKED FIELD GOAL?!"
Justin Fields just got drafted by the Bears, interesting to see how his career will turn out
Browns fan here too dude, nice to see successful youtubers who are also fans of The Land
Every time I watch your videos I learn something new
Anyone watching this after Justin Fields already got drafted to the Bears?
We need a KTO Mock Draft!
Love this video!
I love when you do these!
Can you make a mock draft like you did last year?
I’m an Ohio state fan and now that Justin fields clip at the end hits different
Awesome video. Do more years. 👍
Sometimes I forget how young people are. I heard in this video that he was surprised to see how these players have fared since that draft. Just wait till you start remembering, and thinking back about those players just coming into the league when they are retiring hopefully many years from now. Personally, I had that moment when Derek Jeter was retiring. I still had it in my head that he was this new kid on the yankees. I'm born and raised in the Bronx and I pretty much guarantee I'm older than most people in this comment section, so when something like that happens, you realize you're an official old man. For all you young guys, stay young. It sucks up here. Hold on to your youth it's tightly as you can for as long as you can and never let it go. I got to go take my Geritol now, love these videos, keep up the good work, cheers.
I hate how college act like these guys are criminals for selling stuff or taking money from boosters and they make billions of dollars from them
Justin Fields at the end of the video has been lighting it up so far at Ohio State!
Great video man! GO Browns!
RB Darrell Scott backed up Colorado RB Rodney Stewart, who I played with in Little League in Columbus, Ohio, for the Mifflin Sharks. Everybody knows him in Columbus as "Speedy." Because how fast he was.
