Based on the story, this kid has put in a lot of hard work and dedication. He should be proud no matter how his football career comes to an end.
To me based on his story it seems he used his size as a crutch and never managed to lose enough weight to actually be useful
@@vxIKAMIKAZEIxv maybe a school or two used Jr.! Probably went both ways. Wish he'd taken care of himself more and others would have helped him more. Be cool to have seen him make it! Seems he's not going to give up beingfinal year. He didn't even start playing any sport till H.S. Protesters refused to let him play. Family knew nothing about football. Delayed learning and physical fitness set his progress and performance way back. H.S. and Jr.College injuries and play probably added to it all. There's also an amount of psychological stress that probably attributed to the lack of development. I mean not having good grades or a support system for such a young player and limited skills is probably as depressing as all hell. A lack of coaching and training program probably also hindered his development, time window and opportunity....doors begin to close quickly after high school. He probably was told at best take care academically and go get a good job in his sophomore year or junior year in Jr. College. He probably responded to that by transferring near home as that seemed reasonable enough. Sad.
Again not trying to be rude or start a fight but based on THIS story this kid hasn’t put in any work. He needs help just getting up off the ground by 2 people and I don’t see even one clip of him in the gym or jogging for his cardio which is an absolute must for any athlete
My high school team scrimmaged against him my junior and senior year and he was MASSIVE in person. He was strong but all you hadda do was get the edge and he was done. Nice dude and always seemed to give it his all so I got respect for him.
To slow
He's a winner in my book because he never gave up. Whatever he ends up doing, he will definitely be a go getter. Rock on kid!!!!👌
Exactly!! This kids character is the BIG win of this story.
Played against him in JUCO, he’s the real deal 💯
@Reg Jones you go to hell for that
I Agree is he’s the real deal he would have dropped the lbs and be at a real D1
@Reg Jones he is playing D1
Are you a Starter?
@@sacramentokingswillrise7525 he's NOT
I love the “circling” of the 7 ft 400 lb player in the highlights... yeah we see him... lol
He’s a create a player😂
He only creates Space at the All you Eat Buffet!!🍫🍬🍨🍧🍦🍮🍯🍩🍰🍳🍔🍪🍔🍔🍤🍤🍗🍗🍖🍕🍕🍕🍝🍝🍝🍟🍟🍟🍞🍞🍞
Bigger the limit is 400 pounds
Aidan Davis wow
Yall is disrespectful lol godamn😁🤣
Props for his determination , that weight he’s carrying is causing havoc to his legs. If he wants to get into LE after graduation he’d probably have to get down to 350 just to pass physical. The HS he played for has a good oline coach BUT, it’s not a football school they went on a 20plus game losing streak despite a enrollment of 4,000 kids. Norco could have got him right all their o linemen are usually 300plus & get DI offers.
At least the kid went after his dream, even though he kept being told that he couldn't.
Well he didn't. So yeah
C.F.L WOULD SIGN HIM ....TORONTO ARGOS COULD USE THAT BIG FRAME?
He can start for the Browns next August as a walk on... 🤣🤣🤣
Matthew MacLaren I hate you 😭
Not if my lions can grab him first 👍
You stupid haha!
We'll trade Odell for him
If he wants to kill his playing career
Give it at least 2 years in college, he is going to look like a complete different person. Once hes in shape it will be lights out for other teams
He needs speed
Ben Dover he’s alright lmao he’ll get that
He need to lose massive amount of weight learn techniques and play guard tackle demands you to move alot which at his height is a problem
I believe he can
Devron Washington he’s already been in college for three years
This guy looks like my QB1 character on madden, but my madden character has huge pads
Did you also name him big Texas. Cause for years I seen my friends do that
No but that’s a good idea😂😂
Faxx
this kid has huge pads too, they jus look small on him.
Me too 😂😂😂
If he changes his fat to muscle and becomes really buff he’ll be unstoppable
you know...
Feet too slow and can't get low enough, so wouldn't matter
Easier said than done
Muscle and fat are two completely different things you can’t turn fat into muscle 😭
@@jamesstricklin4056 I figured out how and I'm HUGE !!!!!
i went to school w junior, hes a great guy!
he should of dropped down to 340-350
Yep if he could have got down to John Matuszak size at 6' 10" and 345 lbs he would have had a better performance.
And watch His joints
If he lived in a third world country he'd drop 100 lbs fast.
@@prestonhaller9819 No its not I know 2 guys one a trucker and one a forklift operator and both have lost over 100 lbs in the last years and a half. A little discipline and work goes a long way.
@@prestonhaller9819 That is only losing 19% of his weight. It's no different than dropping from 220 to 178. Hell I have done that several times.
I think he's an inspiration no matter how his story turns out. Ive coached & i'd always have that one kid i wished everyone had the heart of. With this kid's attitude, he's gonna be just fine no matter what he does in life
We had a kid I played with in high school back in the dark ages that was rumored to be 6'3 and 450. Played nose guard, and it took three or even four offensive lineman to move him back just a yard. State champ wrestler, too. He was a legit monster.
Yikes!
Was bro a sumo wrestler? Ain't no way there's a weightclass for 450
I hope this kid makes it, it really sounds like he deserves everything good waiting for him.
He should’ve had a better off season program. And play basketball for better foot movement
Yeah, he definitely should be spending more time on cardio and in the weight room. He just doesn't want it bad enough, no matter what the narrator says.
@@MrEazyE357 ya
You can do speed and agility drills to improve footwork. Bball will
definitely wreck his knees.
drew63215 might be true. But his weight will buckle
Or even wrestled. Imagine hime at heavy weight?
He should of been a guard not a tackle and dropped some weight
There's no way his big ass is gonna be a guard
@@tfyoumeanbruh3756 maybe not but definitly not at tackle he's way too slow and doesn't have the agility
@@tfyoumeanbruh3756 honestly hes too slow to pull as a guard or pass block as a tackle. He really could only be a run stuffing dtackle
@my name is DRAKE if he loses some weight hed be fine. Just be a run stuffing dtackle it's not that hard you just have to be blessed with giant size. Pass rushing dtackle on the other hand is another story
Yes he should be a garuda because when I play my weight and power demolishes d linemen
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
That’s a guy I would love to have on my team any day . Resilience through adversity is very admirable
I went to high school in the 1980's with a guy who was 6'4'' tall, 410 pounds. His nickname was "Fridge." Real nice guy, just like this kid.
Was he any good ?
Does his name happen to be William Perry?
Just amazing story of a character and a human being that wouldst do anything to play for the game that he loves so much congratulations on planting seeds in a lifetime and Young aspiring Sports enthusiast. You'll never see them sprout very proud of you.
I see you already have the determination of not giving up 👍. Stay confident regardless of whatever negative encounter you come across, yet remain humble towards all. Remember to always think about the pros n cons (when mentally broken) between gaining weight & your Football dreams. Which brings me right back to what you already know you are NOT......a quitter.
Stay blessed young man n always thank anyone who has helped you in your journey.....life or football.
I rooting for you brother 😊.
Nothing but respect. Being that young and fought for every opportunity without quitting, while having all that attention around him. He seems like he has a good head on his shoulders . Plus it's always good to hear a successful story without $ being the outcome of why he's successful.
He’s a big boy. I admire his dedication plus he seems like a great guy. Good for him sticking to it and fulfilling his dream.
Power 5 offensive lineman have insane technique and skill. The position takes way more athleticism than given credit to.
YOU GO FOR IT JOHN!!!! Continue your dream my son. I used to coach football at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri back in the 80's.
This young man is true inspiration; he will be successful at whatever he does for the rest of his life given the continued effort in the face of the challenges that he's overcome. I love stories like this!
I pray that this young man will be successful no matter what he chooses too do with his life. However, one must weigh the negatives with the positives. If I had a son playing football in high school right now and his position was too oppose this young man's position, I would with draw him from that game out of fear he could be severely injured. 350 pound "boys" do not play football against 185 to 225 pound boys. This young man obviously wouldn't hurt anyone. He is a true gentle giant, but he is very heavy and very tall. Placing opposing players at great risk. Even if he didn't intend too hurt anyone, the fact is, chances cannot and should not be taken.
Now, if he lost 150 to 175 and he was taught restraint and proper techniques in handling his imposing size, he could see limited action, but it must be done safely. Plus the opposing team's must not over estimate or under estimate his true desires. Playing football today is extremely competitive. If this young man shows patience and he is mentored correctly, he'll have his pick of NFL teams. Personally, I like to see him play for my team, the Cowboys, but I don't get too make such decisions. His parents, his mentor, his schools etc must all understand, he must be given the respect of choice.
If he decides to become a Chef or a construction worker, that is his choice, but he must be allowed such choices. Again, I wish him well. He seems like such a nice young man with a big heart.🏈⛪
As a defensive linemen who played in San Diego. That's also had to a different path to college football. I wanna go against him.
He would destroy you San Diego where is that overseas
Keep moving forward towards your goals young man. If you believe you can, than you will!!!!
He looks too slow on tape, he needs a good trainer.
John matuszak who played for Oakland raiders came in at 6:10 and 345lbs and was a maniac on the football field but was a pretty good football player.
John was 6'8"
The first overall pick of his draft.
This kid needs to get into strongman competition. He could give Brian Shaw a run for his money.
No. Brian Shaw is strong. This kid is just big.
@@theclayishone do you think Brian was always strong? It took hard work and dedication. If this kid started training now there is no telling how strong he could be.
Best of my wishes JR. Keep doing what you crave, whatever life does.
Good on you, Junior. I'm glad you were able to have the success that you did. With your attitude you can be successful in whatever thing you may choose. Good luck.
As a police officer he better lay off the donuts.
I know a cop who is close to his size. People just like to take pictures with him.
Hi me but with a B
Shaman96 you sound like fucken bum
Lukeson Drölf and you momma raised a racist bitch
Yeah right, u know that shit aint happenin.
Regardless what happens, he has tried the best he could and wish him success in life!
Joe Dazey I’m not trying to be rude and can only go off by what I see in this video but it really doesn’t look like he’s tried hardly at all let alone his best
He's got a TON of potential!! I believe that if he gets with the right strength and condition coach and the right meal plan was created he could be a BEAST!! I hope he keeps investing in himself and NEVER GIVE UP!! Great story!!
Subscribed man
I saw him play a few times in HS. He was in my sons league. He was huge, but he couldn’t move laterally. I didn’t think he could make it in college, but I hoped for the best for him
Damn my former teammate plays baseball for Portland, maybe he’ll run into him, he’s hard to miss
Great story hard to believe a young man with that drive and capability would be considered more of a great prospect than a project. I give hima load if credit for learning something with every experience and who is to say there is not a pro team that would take a shot at a needed size and positional player! Special Teams that tells me his potential is more than even he may know or think! I would like to see him stay closer to to the 390 weight giving him a better reaction time and increase his speed and agility! Good Luck Big Fella! Great story too!👍🏼
There was a 7 ft guy playing for Dallas in the NFL, in the late 80s early 90s I seen him once on tv. Guess he didn't last long. Thanks for the post .
Hope he's working to get his weight down, working on speed, agility, etc..
I’ve been here since 1k 💯
Appreciate you man!
Rexy 69 What is your fucking point? You millennials are completely useless.
Hard work got you an education You are a success my man. Good job.
Great video bro
Whatever he chooses in life he will be successful because he works so hard at it.
Not enough commitment, drive , and discipline. Love Food to much
Yup. Wasted his potential. So sad. I'm 5ft 9 inch and I'd love to have his god given frame.
Please stfu! Look at the 95' 96` cowboys linemen those fuckers weighed 300,350 lbs would whole turkeys and were healthy.
@@travismorse2104 Moron, Jimmy Johnson valued speed and stamina. The Cowboy lineman could play 4 quarters; this guy looks like he gets the fat sweats eating a large pizza.
Gained weight back when he moved to Georgia? Really? Who could've possibly seen that?
That is the truth. If he wanted it enough to commit he could be 350 and be a far better player. I'm willing to bet linemen 150 lbs smaller than him outlift him by huge amounts in the weight room. Overweight guys cannot lift like you might think they can
You are an inspiration to other High School students.
I wish you the best of success.
Great story.You got a lot of grit. You earned the title-Football Player!
These kids need to be counseled with his parents about sugar consumption.
He should’ve played guard
Man I pray he has a great year next season just for his never quit attitude! 🦅🇺🇸🦅
I just want to play football...that was so sincere. It told me all I need to know about him. Honest and sincere. Good luck big guy
And there in lies the problem. Just wanting to and actually putting in the training time at the gym are 2 different things. Which is a shame in this young man’s case cause with his natural size it wouldn’t take but 6 good months of weight lifting and cardio and this guy would dominate at any level if he would just keep in shape after he got in shape.
Man this is sad imagine if he was allowed to play as a younger kid. He would really be a beast. I mean a 7ft tackle, what coach wouldn’t want that.
GE...I thought the same thing.
He needs to talk to Tampa Bay as a center. We here in Tampa have high hopes for next season.
Nothing ventured...nothing gained....ALL THE BEST.
If he gets a free ride thru college he's a success
@Olefaceo being fat is fun
I said the same thing when the News did a segment on him in high school, he stands out, he’s bigger than kids in high school but on any other level he would struggle, he’s to too too heavy and that weight will hold back his athleticism and give him injuries... He’s a tall kid with excessive fat. Only way is to get down to at least 350 if he wanted to play but that isn’t even for sure.
I went to King with him and had class with him when he would sit in the classroom tables he barely fit had to bend his knees freaking monster good luck JR hopefully you make it to the nfl would love to watch you play
He should try wwe really like he would do good in that
We all no its not real but just the size he would be a giant
Yep. Same way "The big show started"
I'd rather do fake wrestling if it's in WWE or something because those are probably longer contracts than the average NFL player.
And dont forget those wwe guys a grils get payed now
Anybody (especially adults) that watch wwe hold this L.
Went to school with him, dude was a unit in person
What’s a “unit” mean?
Tackleqb he was just a unit
joshua meeks lol is this some new high school slang kids use now a days ?
Wym unit
Tackleqb he was an absolute unit
Good story. I think it's important for people to see that the path for most of us is long and convoluted. We have to keep seeking opportunities and accepting what we have to work with.
I hope he makes it. There has to be a program that he could attend to get him squared away. Suprised one of the many NFL D/O line guys haven't taking him under thier wing. So many NFL players and Ex players have programs. This is crazy. Wooow!
Should be a DT lol how’s anyone gonna throw over him
MuchoMango he would just overpower people he would be a beast especially if he played at a lower division
They are just gonna cut him
Anthony Xavior yeah theyre not gonna cut him after he fall on them a few times
good point 🤔
Right he’s great for filling up holes😂my freshman year of Highschool we had this really big fat kid on our team and he played Nose and every play he’d just grab the center and another guard and just fall and pull them down with him they never ran up the inside
Man! His back and knees must be killing him. I feel for this giant.
I played with john at Georgia prep and Lincoln he played every game at Georgia, and was the immediate starter at left tackle at Lincoln in the spring of 2017
I remember reading about him in his freshman year. I give him the kudos for not giving up in HS. He needs dicipline in his weight management and Scholistics. If he really wants it then he needs to do for himself. There's a lot more harder cases out there and they have made it thru hard work and dicipline.
Agility is critical in football. He has none. At least he gave it a shot.
Coach: What position on the Oline do you want to play?
Junior: Yes.
LoL...so wrong
badlandskid lmao
Love the fact that you’re letting those original comments loose. Dumb fuck.
Yes what? It dosent make sense. Actually it's fucking stupid. These dumb comments are so fucking annoying.
Lmao
For me, he is a NT in a 3-4. Someone that large, you build his strength, size and condition him for consistent work, not necessarily explosive power. He only needs to get occasional pressure and consistently forcing the line of scrimmage back
We're glad to have ya here in Oregon..kick butt 78..
Wish the best for him. He's not a quitter good story.
That’s because he still hasn’t started on what it’s gonna take for him to succeed. I wish there was someone that could encourage him to do what he needs to do that he would listen to. Give me 6 months with him and get him a proper tutor and Division I schools would be knocking his door down trying to sign him
Vince McMahon would like to offer him a contract!
Or nba
His stage name would be "tank"
There have been a few of these massive, gigantic kids around 7' tall and 400 pounds before. They usually attract a lot of attention for a short period of time and then quickly disappear off the map. As tempting as it is to extrapolate their size into usable skill it just usually doesn't work out that way. These kids are usually pretty slow and can barely get around the field themselves. No one's able to move them off the line but opponents with any speed whatever are usually able to just run around them.
In my EXTREMELY small Highschool in Indiana we had this dude that i think was a Lineman and he was considered one of the top prospects that year... Dude was straight up beast... I think he had the state benchpress record at 5xx lbs. scenior in highschool! Suprisingly he didnt really materialize further then college...
1:25 he rollin a blunt tho? 💨💨
I already did my research on this mans
You should look into Tony Picard. He was a 6’5, 400lb RB for White Swan high school in Washington. I had to play him once and tackled him solo. I fractured a rib when he landed on me with his full weight on my chest.
I wish he'd gotten an early shot at developing good habits. Imagine what could have happened if he'd been able to work out with and practice with the high school team throughout middle school- not that he would have played in games right then, but he could have learned the game while getting an early handle on the physical and dietary requirements just to make it through a season. If that had happened for him there's no telling what might have happened. Best case scenario- a private school recruits him and continues the project.
He was this close to being the next Michael Oher.
Did he ever go to camps like a 30 to 40 dollar one day camp to actually get in contact with coaches?
7’0😳 he should start hooping
He’s too big. Not athletic enough
With that body not a chance
Lukeson Drölf the hell? Is that supposed to be a joke?
WWE... Sumo wrestling. NOT b-ball...
Football only if he stays fairly lean...
His heart was in what he wanted to do. Nothing like trying to see a dream through to come true driven by what others can't see
He needs to go live with zach banner with the Pittsburgh steelers. He was huge and had the same problems with 3 teams. He lost weight and was out under their wing and now the extra tackle on running plays working toward a starting spot. Banner is down to 360lbs, was 430 ish. If he could get to a 5.2 40 time and became more aggressive he could be something in the nfl.
That's it a NEW FRANCHISE PLAYER LETS GO
Aidan Hernandez can you imagine if OL start to become close to this size? 6’8”-7’0” - 320-400lbs.
Intermittent fasting John! It works big man! I look forward to seeing you on the field
Hope that this kid makes it to the NFL and drop down maybe like 20 40 work on his strength and quickness and then he can be the backup tackle for the Chicago Bears
Miami have a spot waiting for you my boi 🙌 #GoCanes
There’s 10 minutes I’m not getting back
Thats what my data plan says
Aww poor baby.10 minutes wasted.U sound like a bitch
6:50 is scary😬
that was hilarious... but not for those 2 poor kids ;-)
We need him on the Detroit Lion's..come here and help us big fella...keep working..never stop..I Am Love..
Don’t give up on that dream kid - you’ve got the heart - the Vikings could use a guard that won’t get bull rushed into the turf - get down to 370 and work on your quickness - you’ll need to get to the second level after you pummel the tackle the mike linebacker will look to avoid you at all costs
O’Doyle RULES!
I hope he makes for all his hard work it would be nice to see him on the NFL field
Very inspiring for
My 12 year old son he is on the modified team where he attends school . he also wears the #78 playes both offense and defense he is the defensive captain .. he eats sleeps and breaths football says he doesn't care if it takes everything he has .he will play for LSU and get drafted into the NFL
FRIDGE 2.0!!!
Back In the day Leeche would’ve picked him up & whipped him into shape.
God knows TEXAS TECH needed a
D-line back then.
👆RED RAIDERS👆
Holy cow! Ed "Too Tall" Jones should pay you a visit!
Excellent story, wish the young man all the best!
Mama and papa must shop at COSTCO for food. Gonna need a couple baskets full per visit.
Bless them!
I’d think he’d be better as a nose tackle and at offensive line it would be hard for the quarterback to see around them
Nah he'd be destroyed in the ground game. Its all about leverage in the interior.

He's too tall
