Outro- The Fix by Aldous Young - Sport
Tis the painful part about NFL parity: sometimes a generational talent gets drafted by one of the worst teams and never gets their chance for a Superbowl ring. Glad Megatron is a Hall of Famer!
Here kid, go save our team!
Oh you cant do it? Your a bust. The whole NFL "C ya!"
...meanwhile QB's or other players that drop in the draft go to good teams and have a great career.
Almost makes me think you wanna botch that dumb combine on purpose lol
@@xtlm cough cough Stat Padford
It’s one of those unfortunate things where if you’re too good in college, you’ll shoot yourself in the foot by going to the worst team in the NFL and your career gets ruined.
The 1st team is always the worst team literally 😂
Us fans of shit teams deserve nice things to ok :(
There's only been 4 triple crown receivers and Matt Stafford was the QB for 2 of them. Crazy stats
And stafford threw to the number 1 and number 2 most receiver yards in a season 🔥
That’s my qb 🥲
@@KevinSorbo. His Super Bowl ring disagrees
Repent to Jesus Christ
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
Psalms 18:2 NIV

@@KevinSorbo. You are reaching so hard to try and make Stafford trash 😂. Watching one game, you can easily tell that Stafford is a much more talented QB than Dilfer.
Other than coaching the Bears in their magical 1985 season, Ditka sadly doesn’t get much flowers for pioneering the TE position that’s evolved since then. He really changed the NFL forever by revolutionizing playing TE
A lot of that credit goes to Kellen Winslow instead. Personally I think it’s an insult to Ditka’s legacy to just dismiss his career like it was merely piss in the wind
The 1000 yards as a rookie would still be very impressive today even with the extra games and pass heavy offenses. He is very under rated as a player
Other than the '85 Bears it seems like he's more known for his crazy Ricky Williams trade than anything.
People have forgotten what an amazing player he was
@@sirhandelno3 RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I noticed Fryar was averaging 17 yds a reception in NE his 2nd and 3rd year and 18 yds in his 6th year but no 1,000 yard season. They weren't throwing him the ball. Why do you draft a WR no 1 and not throw him the ball?
because you had a shitty Qb. Dude wasn't a bust but you can't put up numbers until you get a Qb goes to Miami gets Marino and finally is able to ball out.
@@NPAMike Fryar was a beast in Miami and Philly they had him and Ricky Watters in their primes at Philly and messed it up with bad defenses
I can definitely see a few wrs model their game after him in today's game
You can draft a receiver number 1, but if your QB is garbage what’s the point of having a weapon
I remember when Fryar was in NE. I'm surprised his numbers weren't great because he was considered a star player and a weapon. They had a couple decent QB's in that period like Grogan and Eason.
Mainly because they had no good QBs to get him the ball. It’s actually quiet a simple thing to figure in terms of identifying a problem, it’s just difficult to fix
Can you do more of this series with some other positions.
really want one with qb. it seems like forever since one has been drafted no1 ovr
@@kaischmidt7973 😭😭
@@kaischmidt7973 this is the dumbest comment i’ve seen inna while
@@kaischmidt7973 I think Joe Burrow was the last one?? If you talking about the last hit then probably kyler murry in 2019 or cam newton if you want to go that far back
@@BladeXCZcamsr no no no the last one was tom brady in 2001 get ur facts straight
Still blows my mind how the Detroit Lions managed to get 2 generational talents in arguably the greatest RB of all time Barry Sanders and greatest WR of all time in Calvin Johnson and failed to even sniff the super bowl, closest they ever got was 1991 in Barry’s 3rd season where they got smoked by the eventual Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins in the NFC championship game
unluckiest/worst franchise in all of sports
Calvin wasn't the greatest WR ever. Not even close. But your point is spot on.
I wonder if the Lions can ever get back on top while in Detroit. It's a dying city that's been going down for 50 years. It's broke, morale is terrible, and former fans are outnumbering current fans.
I don’t think people know what arguably means
@@michiganrulez1 you have a good point...People just try to diminish without understanding...Megatron was a monster definitely a good candidate for best all time no issues from me
@@camdoesitall No he doesn't. If people lack understanding of a term, it's what "greatest ever" means, that needs some help.
It honestly amazes me that less have been taken, especailly considering how much the game has shifted towards passing
receivers are more easy to find than positions like DE or QB
@@Pcfrs_Unleashed that is true, it seems like a position that can be taught instead of raw talent
It's a position most men could play if they were in football shape. You don't need to be a big guy (look at Steve Smith Sr) or a fast guy (Steve Largent) to be successful. Just run great routes and catch balls like a bordertown hooker.
a lot of the WRs taken in top 5 picks haven’t been any more successful than guys in the mid to late 1st. vital position, but one with a lot of high end talent compared to QB, OT, or DE like KTO mentioned at the beginning
Positional value takes precedent here. A franchise QB will always be a better draft and cornerstone to a franchise vs a WR.
For me, your voice is perfect for these informational videos. Great stuff as always
I agree. He's got the right tone to keep people like me interested and realize so many things I never knew about the topic of discussion. Not many have that ability.
always find it funny when whyte guys portray JaMarcus Russel as the "biggest" bust in nfl history. When you got guys like Jarod Goff and Carson Wentz, both #1 and 2 overall picks who's teams won super bowls after they were taken out the starting lineup. That's the literal definition of a bust.
Or even a guy like Baker Mayfield, another #1 overall pick who played for 4 teams in 6 years getting like 5 coaching staffs fired along the way. But according to whyte guys JaMarcus Russel is the "biggest" nfl bust ever! Sounds about whyte!🤣
If you look at the blurbs from their 95-98 seasons, you can see that the 3-13 and 1-15 teams were coached by Rich Kotite, and the 9-7 and 12-4 squads were coached by Bill Parcells. I’m thinking that MIGHT have had something to do with it too.
Glad someone else noticed
Yeah ive noticed KTO tends to miss important details like that that kind of changes the whole video.
I will always be amazed by the fact that Calvin Johnson Mossed 3 people for a TD.
Can't moss a calvin catch
I don’t remember if it was him or randy moss, but I remember a highlight of a WR jumping up and catching a TD over 4 Miami players. That was always my favorite clip.
Always remember Jerry rice had 22 tds in 12 games..woulda been more but NFL locked out players that year
@@robertbradburn9616 Johnson coulda done it if he actually had more help than Burleson or Tate
@@robertbradburn9616 was rich a number one pick
Fryar is still a legend in Lincoln, and always gets a huge ovation whenever he comes back to Memorial Stadium. Once a Husker, Always a Husker.
Peak Jets: Get generational talent at WR with a chance to build a juggernaut. Trades him to a Super Bowl winner instead of paying him. Return to 4th place in the AFC East.
6:50 this is why the pats don’t take receivers in the draft anymore
😭
History will never let me as a Raider fan forget about JaMarcus damn Russell.
no playoff wins in 20 years lmao
@Musical Box
You seem like somebody very, very self conscious for you to comment that on a post that was meant to be funny.
Don't worry, I'll pray for you that you fond your way :)
@@howdareyouexist
And? What does that have to do with my comment?
Yeah being a Packers fan and hearing, "Tony Mandarich" isn't much different.....
To be fair: Lane Kiffin (Head Coach of the Raiders in 2007) wanted to draft Calvin Johnson with the first overall pick. After Jamarcus had his performance in the Sugar Bowl, Al Davis overruled him and the rest was history.
Al Davis was so bad at drafting 🤦♂️
@@dasdrifter12 Offense, he had some pretty good defensive selections
Jamarcus Russell was the consensus #1 though. It's not like Al was the only one who had him #1.
Keyshawn reminds me again of what Brandon Marshall was saying:
A lot of the guys that were stars from early on, used to the limelight and went through some period of social recklessness, yet still well under parental and coaching influence, will less likely be a diva down the road. But like AB and Keyshawn, who had jack for recognition, then explodes, now with more toys, more money, more recognition and feels like they're not expendable, they blow up, become reckless and are no longer any adult influence to shape character. I hope teams learn to stay away or at least find some way to keep such guys in check.
Keyshawn had a chip on his shoulder and got it out the mud…he was never reckless or had off field issues
AB was a seventh round pick, though.
@@johnbrowntheprophet that actually supports my point.
Terrell owens put up hall fame numbers but he was a diva he was a mid round pick some of the best players have big mouths
You're listening to nut job Brandon Marshall to justify your comment? C'mon man!
Part of the reason I will always believe he left New York was his rivalry with Wayne Chrebet. He was so dramatically insecure about Chrebet it boggled the mind. How could this little white no speed no name school receiver become the security blanket of the Jets offense? When it was like...Johnson. You're both good players, he hunts underneath so you can over the top. But he couldn't see it that way. That immaturity consistently showed throughout his career.
Wayne was a DAWG
Yeah but Keyshawn won since he got a ring and the big money that he wanted
and Keshawn hasn’t gained that maturity to this day. Enjoy him on ESPN but you can tell he’s under the belief that he’s never been wrong haha
Chrebet was a no nonsense player. Meshawn wanted the spotlight. Don't think they meshed to well as team mates.
@@scizorbullet8185 I mean you can look at it that way. But a lot of people consider the victory towards Chrebet if you consider the Green Lantern play in which Chrebet helped stun the Bucs knowing full well the endless talk Keyshawn threw his way in the time proceeding.
Keyshawn Johnson with such a disappointment because he had all of the ability to be at the top of the league but he just kept running his damn mouth
The original diva wr
Hmmmu
I’ll admit he was right about Gruden though
I like key tho
@@mattyice1151 nah… Michael Irvin is still the OG diva WR
What a wild ride for Irving Fryar. He finally got with a good arm and showed what he could do - in his 30s! Unreal
Interestingly he had his best season with Ty Detmer.
Thanks for showing love to C.J. (megatron) as a lions fan, i wish i could have seen him on any other team. Dude was insane.
Just stop.
As horrible as Ryan Leaf was as a player/person, I will always say Russell was the biggest draft bust ever, mainly because of ALL the great players taken after him. Johnson, Peterson, Thomas, Revis... all of them will be in the HOF!!!
I know it sounds off topic, but it fits a end of this story.
Ever heard of Brock osweiler? The richest qb to never do a damn thing.
@@austinreed4565 he did enough for a team to be fooled. More than Ja Marcus.
I say that Leaf is the biggest bust ever because he had far more hype, the Chargers traded up for him, and he was so much worse than Russell. The Chargers also passed on Charles Woodson, Fred Taylor, Randy Moss, & Alan Faneca.
@@austinreed4565 Sam Bradford definitely made more and did about the same amount if not more damage lol. He made $130m and never played in a playoff
Cant believe KiJana Carter was a 1st pick 😂
Irving Fryar and Dan Marino was a match made in Heaven. I have so many Fryar cards, I've lost count.
Fun fact: The average time for a receiver in the NFL is 2 years
Also, love how you read your comments. Most creators don’t
Really
That first throw from Marino was unbelievable
I always love how you end these videos,
I didn’t realize how bad the raiders messed up they could’ve the goat of WRs and they went with jaMarcus Russell Damn !!!
That draft was loaded. Calvin, Thomas, AD, Revis, PWill……every one of those guys that aren’t will be in canton some day.
@@thomaswatkins3686 the goat of WR is Jerry Rice.
Irving Fryar had HOF caliber stats but never made it. I guess it’s due to his off-the-field stuff.
If that's the case, Lawerence Taylor and Michael Irvin would have never got in.
@@jmcgee39 I suppose lol
I never realized that only 3 have been taken 1st overall
Glad your uploading regularly. Thanks 🙏 thanks 😊
History has proven that for the most part, you can get a great quality wide receiver lower down the draft board but a lot of the more in-demand positions like OT, QB, DE, etc. tend to dominate the toward the top of the draft. I am not saying the wider receivers in this video were busts but perhaps did not live up to their potential as #1 picks.
Should have been 4. Raiders even without hindsight should’ve picked Megatron instead of Jamarcus
They made the right move…. If anyone has number 1 then and didn’t have a for sure QB you take him, it’s just that he didn’t have work ethic and didn’t give a shit but talent wise it was the right choice
This is definitely a hindsight take. Jamarcus Russell was a special talent at the time.
But didn’t he already had known attitude issues dating back to LSU. Like 40% of the mock drafts had Johnson 1st over Russell just because of that
@@LessGo7921 40% lmao. These people be making up stats to justified their take. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@helloman3676 Doesn’t matter cuz those people were right anyway. No way you really defending drafting the biggest bust in NFL history 😭🤣
great video nice idea! also dope bc when it ended i immediatey binged megatron highlights
11:42 I think going from Rich Kotite to Bill Parcels was a big help
We can debate over whether or not he was worth a #1 overall pick, but there's no denying that Keyshawn had a solid NFL career. I remember him going on a talk show shortly after his final season, and the host basically pointed out to him that his career is pretty complete: 3 Pro Bowls, a Super Bowl ring, 10k+ receiving yards, over 60 TDs...what more could he ask for?
he wasn't worth a #1 overall pick
@@howdareyouexist neither were about the 260 other players
Respect from peers
Yes he had a solid career but he did not live up to his draft position. If you redo that draft no team would take him number one. And yes he did win a Super Bowl, but so did 52 other guys on that team
Well he could "ask for" the HOF, but obviously won't get it. But yes, he had a remarkable career compared to pretty much everyone else.
great new video, appreciated that calvin got two clips at the end, he deserved it.
Loved this video man! Great job.
Man keep up the great work. Your videos are always well put together.
I’m just saying…that Fryar drop in the championship absolutely looked like it was on purpose. Might as well have said “Whoops 😜 “. Didnt even reach back to get it, just watched it drop to the ground and gave up on the play before it was over.
KTO your videos are great, will you ever post another podcast episode with flemlo? Or is the podcast abounded?
It may come back… we will see.
Great job! Great video!
My only complain with your videos, is there isn't enough of them. Great work my man, you make ESPN documentarys look bad you are so good.
Fryar seems to have the Vinnie Testaverde career for WRs. As a Jets fan, Keyshawn was awesome, but nobody shed too many tears when left especially when pick turned out to be John Abraham(who in turn became Nick Mangold).
he was not awesome..stop it
@@jayc9904 Ah he made Pro bowl in 2 of 4 years with the Jets and 99 was a great year considering the QBs(or lack there of) he was working with. He really had one more great year with the bucs and settled into being okay the rest of the way.
Dude I swear to God KTO has the smoothest and dopest endings of any football channel or maybe any channel period on CZcams. I never see it coming and it’s always just straight fire 🔥
If Caleb williams suffers a major injury or comes back for another year of college, I can see Marvin Harrison JR going number 1 to the bears
As a packers fan, I always felt Stafford murdered his career by being with the lions, I’m glad he got out and got some recognition
One day I’ll tell my kids about Megatron getting double teamed at the LOS truly a special talent! And I’m a Steelers fan btw
Nothing makes me hype than seeing KTO posting a new video
You should do every Pitt qb taken in the draft. Bring that to a tier system.
I was hoping we’d see my boy Calvin Johnson get mentioned, great way to wrap up the video!
This video was about #1 overall. Calvin was the 2nd pick of draft in 2007. Behind JaMarcus Russel.
@@Dr-Jan-itor #2 is still noteworthy so I thought he might got an honorable mention, which he essentially did lol
@@Magicdfox he isn't your boy
@@howdareyouexist great name/comment combo
Keyshawn Johnson was the no.1 pick in 1996 there was two other WR taken in that draft later & both are HOF Marvin Harrison picked 18 & Terrell Owens taken in the 3rd round.
I just love how the Raiders drafted Jamarcus Russel 1st ovr, a bust, to let a bust organization draft Megatron, a top 5 wr ever
This is quality content man keep it up!
Awesome video. Keep it up KTO!!!
As a life-long Lions fan, I would like to thank the entire front office and staff of the 2007 Oakland Raiders for botching their pick.
And what a tragedy that such a great player wasted his entire career playing for such a mediocre franchise. JaMarcus Russel would have been far more fitting for the Lions 😆
And yall ruin an amazing career
Wonder what the NFL is like in the universe where Randy Moss stays in Oakland for 2007 and the Raiders take Calvin Johnson
Damn, in all my years of exploring alternate timelines in madden, this is an obvious one that I never thought of for some reason. That would have been special.
So grateful for the random Stu Scott interlude. Booya!
That was a cool ending; and, it was a great video overall. Thanks for posting!
Your ending videos never disappoint.
Just think if the Packers and Raiders would have accepted the trade of Randy Moss for backup Aaron Rodgers then the Raiders wouldn’t have taken Jamarcus Russell at #1 and they could have accepted Calvin Johnson.
Meaning we would have seen the duo’s of Aaron Rodgers & Calvin Johnson and also Brett Favre & Randy Moss.
Wow
As a Lions fan I hate everything about this comment
I love your channel and I know its probably hard to get all the info to make the vidoe but I'd really like to see more consistency. Regardless I'm still here to watch these videos because theyre amazing
I knew you were going to end the video with JaMarcus vs Megatron.
This is why KTO is amazing
I think were underestimating Fryar and Keyshawn because they had some bad QBs around them before they started producing. Like Keyshawn best QB was probably Pennington or Brad Johnson.
Key had 33-35 year old Vinny, & 40-41 year old Vinny
And Key had 194 yards in a game catching passes from a punter.
Keyshawn never played with Chad Pennington. They were never even teammates.
Catching a TD from 19 different qbs is insane. That record won't be broken
Excellent video!
your video style is addicting
I think jamar chase really opened up the chances on a receiver going number 1 overall. Re uniting a star receiver with his college qb can do miracles for the team… wouldn’t be surprised if we see another receiver go number 1 overall soon.
Marvin Harrison JR? Unfortunately I think Caleb Williams will take it from him but he’s a special talent
@@bradley2060Caleb and his dad have been talking about possibly staying at usc for another year so if that happens it’s possible Harrison jr might go number 1
Never heard of this Dave Parks. Seem like he'll fit perfectly in today's game
Damn you make such amazing videos. And I love the end with music starts rolling. Gets me everytime!
LOVE THE CLOSINGS🔥🔥🔥🔥
Randy Moss and Jerry Rice would be 1# pick if there was a redraft
as a lions fan Im hype that we traded up for Jameson and with the lions somewhat making up with Megatron maybe he will become a more main stay in the detroit training camps
Man all your videos just end so great!
Great video 💯
I remember being stunned whenever the Raider didn't take MEGATRON! He was a lock, everyone knew it! He proved it! I remember thinking to myself that the Raiders must have known something about him and thinking it had to be off the field and back the so many athletes coming out of GA where into gang stuff I thought that might have been it! But Now they look even worse because if you have ever scene an interview or anything like that with Calvin and you can see he is an extremely mature well rounded individual a hard worker and a great team mate, Im a Raider fan so I guess Ill always be bitter about that 1. But again he was a lock for HOF from the beginning .
Well of course you can say that after the fact. It's like seeing the lottery numbers and saying "I knew I should of played that number"! You need to stop seeking social media attention and find a hobby.
@@randlemarsh who pissed u off 😭
@@socgod3834 Todd vinegar 😂
If that is the same year of Jamarcus Russell… guy threw 70 yards on his knees… impressive …
Unfortunately, if you are on your knees as a quarterback… the play is over …
Good old Al Davis doing the picking back then
Thats rich, what do I owe for the life advice? BTW thanks for the attention.
With the market for receivers booming, I could see this happening again in the next 5 years.
No way. The value is in the guys who throw the ball. Not catch it. College now running the spread offense with multiple receivers are producing talent deep into the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Not so much as we have seen with QB’s. They will continually be over drafted due to their value and scarcity. Not that a receiver shouldn’t go number 1. They just won’t.
Marvin Harrison Jr. might go
That Irving Fryar part was crazy; I forgot he played for the Patriots, I only really remember him for playing with the Dolphins and he was nasty. That drop in Nebraska though was demoralizing-I felt that!
consistently the second best football video essays on youtube (sorry you know who the king is )
I played against Keyshawn Johnson Jr., the kid that Keyshawn was holding in the super bowl victory pic, in high school for the cif southern section championship. Let me just say, chip off the ol’ block. Kid was the best player on the team.
Keyshawn definitely blew up at gruden because he had problems specifically with him, not because didn’t go to voluntary workouts in 2000 with the previous staff.
KTO!!! Man you did a phenomenal job with this video!!!
Can you do a video on the evolution of football positions? Like super in depth! Why is flank not a position anymore, or why did split end change to wide receiver
That dropped Nebraska pass was definitely sus just by looking at it. Like he barely was looking for the ball despite being wide open. Also it bounces off his hands and he makes zero attempt to grab it again not even so much a moving his hands.
Of course you find a way to put Jamarcus Russell in here
😭😭
Nice work on this video.
great vid!
Keyshawn Johnson was a good player hopefully he'll make it to the hall of fame
never gonna happen
hall of fame is for great
Terrell Owens basically had the career people thought Keyshawn Johnson was supposed to have.
Keyshawn was very good but was never great. Plus he was a headache and then some. The juice was never worth the squeeze.
CANT EVEN MENTION TO AND KEY IN THE SAME BREATH....APPLE AND PASTA...TO IS GREAT...KEY NOT
That 1996 ESPN commercial was gold 😂
RIP Kobe and Stuart Scott 😢🤟🏾
I’ve never heard of Fryar before this video. Bro definitely dropped that National champ pass on purpose it literally smacked his hands and he pulls his hands apart 😂😂
He turned his head away before securing the catch for no reason. Why would he turn his head away, there was no one in front of him, he didn't have to run after the catch.
Can you do all time positions for afc and nfc
Keyshawn was a great WR for the jets with wayne cherebet
no he wasnt ...stop it
Megatron always makes me smile
As a life long fan of the position, this was solid. That ending, was incredible. I blurted out MEGATRON like some kind of dying Decepticon as the image revealed his name. Well done.
Idea: do a few videos talking about every college teams best player
That's a 200+ video series.
Calvin Johnson is my favorite receiver ever BUT his draft was very different from the 96 draft Russell was suppose to be a franchise QB coming out of college.
In fact 96 is more like the 22 draft no popular QB's.
Yo this vid 🔥
Nice job on this vid.
That's the thing. Even in the NFL you have guys who really don't work as hard as their peers and still put up good numbers because they are naturally gifted. Then you have someone like Jerry Rice who could have been good without working as hard but he put in the work and together that made him the best WR ever. Could Keyshawn have been as good as Jerry? Maybe, but he never put in the work.
saying that he never put in the work is just wrong
@@panthersfan919 warren sapp said it as well. I've competed at high levels and yes you have to put in some work but some people have to put in more work than others to come out with the same production. Most people who haven't had to truly work hard think they have been working hard when they actually have been doing the minimum.
I feel like the only Wide receivers we could see drafted first overall in next couple years is JSN from Ohio state or Jordan Addison from Pitt but even then they’ll most likely go in the top 10-5 at best just because of how much the game has changed
JSN could go no.1 honestly, depending on who is picking, but I feel that QBs Stroud and Love will probably go 1 and 2. JSN is the best receiver I have ever watched in college, dude might drop 2k yards this year
The issue is not what position is most important but how rare or hard it is to find a game changer. Good backs and receivers can be found throughout the draft but quality qbs, de, tackles are much harder to find
Great video
