Lol
LMAO
😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂

He didn't really do cocaine, he just really liked how it smelled.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lets do some nose beers
Give Hedburg some credit thief.
🤣🤣🤣
i aggree smelling is just like not inhaling
“Was the next Megatron” but played before Megatron... makes sense
Lol
Seriously. Shouldn't the title be "he was gonna be the original Megatron" or something like that?
No comparison my guy

Oh trust me us jagz fans remember him 🤦🏽♂️

I didn’t recognize him from the thumbnail, but as soon as you said the name, I was like, the Arkansas QB, he was a beast!

He is very talented

@@TEAMGETHELP that Matt Jones fade off play action was a monster.
David Gerrard 72 speed was plenty
People failed realize how much of a beast he could've been. Complete raw talent that couldn't manifest
Honestly it sounds like his dad knew best when having him at receiver.
@@ArtMFootball not it can't
The only person that didn't realize was Matt Jones
That's a lot of people could have been really he never got close to being a beast to be honest you can call him a bust at the pro level
This guy has the body of the ultimate jock, but the mind and dress sense of the ultimate stoner. He's like if Calvin Johnson was cast as Jay from Jay & Silent Bob
lmao!
Loool
Im getting wa more of a Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High vibe
Imagine if Blackmon and Jones stayed off the drugs.
Jags tandem would have been nice
I'm so tired of the heartbreak.
Blackmon didn't do drugs
@@antjackson6581 alcohol, drugs same difference
Busts gonna bust
Some athletes had all the physical tools, but lacked motivation & dedication... Which provides enough evidence that hard work beats "natural" talent or inexperience.
True. If you're not motivated with all the talent in the world you won't get far, but guys with some talent that put in that work we always remember.
@@KNByam true if you don't slack off you make the great, but if you do you wont.
@@wesfields9322 Reminds me all the time of Lenny Cook.
An example of "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"
Hard work does beat natural talent but only when talent doesn’t work hard and that will never change

FlemLo’s title: the “next” megatron
Also FlemLo: “a few years before Calvin Johnson was even drafted”
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 these are the quality comments that should be pinned to this chat.
literally copied my comment that was 2h beforew yours but ok
@@PBnJayyyy have a cry 😂
@@PBnJayyyy but he made your comment better
Cuz it’s Flemlo he gets the pass, now cue the Wayne !!!
Damn, this is another guy I completely forgot about, he actually came before Megatron, he was mad nice in Madden with Garrard and MJD.
I used to trade for him for my skins cause Garrard would piss me off.
I straight forgot about David Garrard 😯
That’s when the Spectacular Catch animations were OP. Lol
I was bout to say he stayed on my madden squad
lol the title said next megatron but he was before calvin
Matt Jones was the first QB I remember from Arkansas (my favorite college). I loved to hear this great review of missed opportunity. Thanks!
Great review of missed opportunity? Lmao younger off on seeing people go through hard times?
I've been waiting on this video to be made and im so glad you made it man. much love
"managed to not get arrested for an entire year." We all have that friend hahaha
The day the Wayne isn’t cuedd is the day there’s something extremely wrong god bless you bro ❤️
On god
He should play Gucci Gang on April Fools
Cue bro.... cue

Drugs
D-Rugs will do that to you whether alcohol 🍺 or narcotics.
Lack of that 🍫 bby, be out here spoiled like some milk. Facts.
Drugs will do that to you, esp meth. Sad.
Strong finish to the video by flemlo. Great journalism skills my friend.
Dude literally had 1 productive season in the nfl, I used to go crazy wit dude on madden tho
Me with Jerrick McKinnon that season Adrian Peterson got hurt lol. Maaaan in real life he didnt have crazy production but that 96 speed was awesome
Arrested twice, Bengals said come on down to Cincy kid, you’ll fit right in with our team.
I think we are getting away from that lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha you spelled Bungals wrong though haha
Daniel no one spelled bengals wrong u trippin
@@lilstxrmz you should check your spellcheck, because you just spelled it wrong too...
I'm 33 but I'd let FlemLo read me a bedtime story. Cheers bruv, love the content.
LMFAOOO
Hahaha!!!!
His voice is soothing like Morgan Freeman
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man I'm so glad my late night youtube binge sessions brought me to your channel, love the videos my dude! much love and keep doing you!
I remember when Jacksonville were on NFL Hard Knocks his rookie year. I remember them saying he was a QB in college but transitioned to WR. We can only wonder how his NFL career would've been if he would've taken conditioning more seriously
as a jags fan, i have to think about that a lot about a lot of former jags players, FML lol.
this man was 6’6, had a 40 inch vert, ran a 4.37. there’s no doubt he would’ve been a great receiver if he actually used his talents for good reasons.
@Alex it was RJ soward!!! and that story is correct about coach coughlin.
@@franchise5527 Probably should have played basketball
Flemlo: i never said he was gonna be megatron
Also flemlo in the title: HE WAS THE NEXT MEGATRON
On paper. The title literally says on paper lmao
@@tavianthomas4402 right lmfao left out the last two words 😂😂😂
ON PAPER. Meaning he had all the physical tools to maybe one day emulate CJ.
How would he be the next Megatron if he was before Megatron 🤔
He was drafted 2 years before Megatron so idk how he’d be considered “the next Megatron.”
Brother you have the best sports bio channel in THE world! You truly found your calling and man being there since 4 years ago to now you're killing it, keep doing your thing baby bro! Salute to your dedication and your hard work because it is truly paid off!
Thanks for sharing😊
@ 7:22 that's cold. Dude just abused a Texas defender and scored while giving the hook'em horn sign.
I was at that game ... sitting practically at the 50 yard line among rich old Texas fans ... wearing a hog hat. (Yes I took a bit of abuse). Matt Jones was Superman that day.
homie should’ve put down the weed not the horns lmao
Actually it’s photoshopped you can see someone just scribbled white where his fingers were to make the horn sign
Clay Sokol no.. just no. Not everything is fake bro...
@@cuckheadmcgee8490 this picture actually is photoshopped. Guy did it on a Razorback forum many years ago
Game was so long a freshman was a sophomore by the time the game ended! That’s hilarious 😂
😐
Just found your channel, very well done. Going on to watch more episodes
I grew up near the U of A, I remember the longest game with seven overtime’s! I watched it with a good friend, and I still miss the Matt Jones days. Awesome video!
As a ravens fan I thought Darren Waller could have been the next megatron when we drafted him. Happy hes found such success as a TE
As a Raven fan I agree. It definitely sucks that it took him that long. Also we drafted Perriman that same year and if we could have had them both develop decently, that would've been a scary bunch!!
I'm from Arkansas, Lifelong Razorbacks Fan and this guy was our Quarterback, a damn decent 1 too, I have fond memories of Matt Jones, Darren McFadden and Felix Jones, those were Great Years!
Yo great channel. Love your delivery. Much respect.
This series for individual players is great, i'm wondering if you can add a 'what happened to...' for specific teams. Like breaking down the moves that happened for iconic squads and what pivotal transactions/ injuries/ coaching changes happened.
Go to channel SecretBase and check out their “collapse” series, exactly that🙏🏼🙏🏼
When you look at Calvin Johnson’s size is unreal how athletic he was!!! The guy was 6’5” with 36” arms and a 41” vert!!!! His catch radius was gigantic!!!!!
His career was just avg at best unfortunately where you land is a big thing had wr in nfl. If he landed with Manning , brees , Brady etc.. he might be considered better then Owens or moss or rice
@@theoneaboveall6768 Calvin Johnson’s career was not average at all lmfao. What u smoking
Neil Moturi avg at best to me. Empty calories stats that amount to nothing. We all have sre opinions. I like Calvin but such is life when you think of all time greats wr he is not mention close to being those greats with or without an Sb. So to me it’s avg. unfortunately like I said when you got dumb qb throwing the ball it doesn’t help.
@@theoneaboveall6768 so a wide receiver is supposed to take a team to the super bowl? are you dumb?
Luke Sudul I never said that, on the contraries I said otherwise. if that makes you feel smart yes I’m dumb now that it’s out the way like I said some might think it’s great but I think it’s avg
Jacksonville needs just gone head and have a mustache ring of honor
🤣🤣
Best comment 😂
Bruh 😅
As a jags fan, can confirm we are in the works of it
@@cynoidkey6855 too bad yall didnt have pornstar mustache Aaron Rodgers or Joe Flaxco or yall would have basically everyone.
I’ve seen almost all of your videos. I love this cuz dude would always blow up in madden. Keep up the good work bro.
I really enjoy your videos! I have a lot of your content I need to catch up on. Thanks for keeping me entertained!
Thank you for posting this! It was so cool watching him in college at Arkansas.
It's interesting that people consider many NFL players "not committed" when they smoke weed when there are absolute stars that will tell you after their career they smoked weed before every game. It's the luck of the draw.
Its motivation to do MORE than just smoking weed and partying. Some dudes just have all the tools but don't really enjoy the game.
@Mo Williams Impossible. Do some research work on coaches & transfer.
@Mo Williams yea for every "coach that meant so much to me".....3-4 of their other coaches were just abusive assholes...
@@poeticalvision you can smoke weed and not party lmao
Calvin Johnson said he smoked weed alot
Like your shows man !! ...excellent content and research ...thankyou.
Dude your videos are always the bomb.
Love the vids bro keep it up!
Matt Jones and the Jaguars on Madden were the truth🔥🔥🔥
Yessir that 2007 team was 🔥🔥🔥! Fred Taylor and MJD in the backfield, offense was crazy. Defense was stacked too with Mike Peterson at LB and the twin towers DTs Marcus Stroud, and John Henderson. Was my favorite team to pick.
Yes indeed. I used to play with Jags when they had him.
That team was ridiculous you can run non stop or just throw the deep ball to Matt Jones I use to make ppl want to fight because they thought Matt Jones was a created player 😂😂😂
Lol the only reason I knew the wigga 😂
@@blackbamaboi I'm not a jags fan but I remember that team. Their defense was tight too remember they're too big defensive tackles they had John Henderson and Marcus Stroud and they had Rashen Mathis at cornerback.
love this channel, keep up the good work
Man i appreciate how unbiased as u seem. Wish u were delivering all of our news
Love the content bro keep grinding!
You are a genius in what you do. You are an artist. Keep up the hard work
Great research and awesome vid yo
The very few CZcams channels I subscribe to. All of your videos are great, I like the unbiased perspective on every story. Dope!
I totally forgot about this dude!!! I can't believe I never heard his story before!!!
FlemLo !en fuego 🔥
Yoooooo i been waiting on this Matt Jones story lets get it!!!
very clear channel, love your videos. Very well done .
I'm happy to hear this story. I was a true fan of his on the field. But someone needed to bring his personal story out.
Matt Jones was a baller! I think the NFL just didn’t know how to use a guy like that in the early 2000’s
He wanted to be a QB but the NFL didn't think he was talented enough to be a signalcaller.
This man Matt Jones had the two longest NCAA games against two future NY Giants QBs 😅
Your videos are great bro. Love it
Great video as always! How do you still not have 1 million subscribers?! Hope you reach that milestone by the end of this year.
Damn, that last line was tuffff. Love from London bro!
Flemlo progression from his early days to know has been so awesome to see I even watch full ads to make sure he gets his bread 💀
Dude your videos are fantastic. Keep it up!
Love the storytelling as always flem
you make amazing videos man! you should be on espn doing mini docs on players or something akin to that.
These videos are so underrated. Consistently pumping out top tier sports content with huge amounts of research and incredible commentary. Love everything about this channel and what FlemLo stands for. Much love
@Flemlo Raps I requested Matt Jones for 3 years. Thank you so much for making this video.
Ur a great story teller bro, keep doin ur thing ✊🏾💪🏾
The Dude has a Killer 'Stache, so he's okay in my book!
Definitely a Pro Bowl stache
Him and minshew💪🏾
The moustache alone should put him in the hall of fame
Swear I though it was minshew lol
Serial Killer lol.
The man's hairline receded faster than the lines of coke .
Lol
I love yah content. You keep doing your thing bro. You have a fan in me.
Bro, your videos are straight 🔥
The Great White Hype.... As a Jaguars fan I was so excited for Jones. Cocaine is a helluva drug
I coulda wrapped this video up in 2 minutes. He was a drug addict, the end.
@@williebeaman652 LMAOO
@Murican Ignorance the choice to do cocaine was his own....I don't feel sorry for people that make bad choices and then make excuses... calling it a "disease". Make better choices
In Arkansas, we were like "why 1st round WR at jacksonville?!", Like why 1st round, why WR, and why jacksonville?
@@dnice2000 Exactly, you had to start somewhere with that drug and that’s on you lmao.
I remember watching him in the SEC. He had that freakish athletic ability at the QB position and of course this was during the time in which athletic QBs at the collegiate level were gonna be highly scrutinized by the pro coaches and analysts (and they still are). I just knew he was gonna be a huge impact player at the next level. He had great natural ability but in my opinion never seemed to have the hunger to push himself and of course those bad habits die hard. Nonetheless, he was a very difficult matchup at wideout in the NFL in that most of the corners were/are short and fast. Could really high point the rock on those 50/50 balls. Definitely a promising career cut short. I do hope he's doing well now. As always nice video brother.
Always been a fan of your videos
Man always good videos ☝🏼
"Turns out, dude was an absolute freak of nature !" 🤣
I always hit "like" soon as the video starts. Cause I know I'm gonna like it 😊
Your vids are all super professional. No wasted words. Very informative. I’m a new subscriber but I will be one for as long as you decide to do this.
This video is exceptionally well researched and presented. Bravo.
"Ran him down like DK." God, I love this channel.
I was actually wondering what happened to my man earlier this week lol
You are a great story teller, FlemLo!
Man this guys videos are the best on CZcams
As an Arkansas fan he was the man. One of the best athletes I have seen
6:14 Damn, Jared Lorenzen, that's a blast from the past.
Love your videos bro, can’t believe I haven’t subscribed yet. Bless🤙🏽
I loved this man. He was a good friend.
He was the next Megatron, even though he's older and played before Megatron did. lmao
Pre-Megatron 🤣
I suppose Megatron, from the Transformers, was the original Megatron.
Lol
Right 😆 over hype
Really nice breakdown. I'm a life long Arkansas fan and so few know the story of this athletic freak. Good vid. Accurate.
Great video! New Subscriber! I remember watching him on the Jags. I never knew his backstory. Thanks! Who Dey!
I wanted him to work out. And I still wear his jersey from time to time. One interesting fact about this tho is, he tried to buy the cocaine with a credit card.
I’m the next Tom Brady yeah I run a 5.2 yeah I can throw check downs
What ya girl look like?
A lot of nfl teams would be better if their QBs could throw check downs
@@Mr_JRH that's hilarious bro 😂😂
@@Mr_JRH lmaoo 😭
Also the GOAT
Never heard of this guy, cool vid Flemlo✊🏽
