    Matt here is a story about a college athlete that should be explored.
    David Hodge was All American as Sophmore at University of Houston. He is in the Texas Collegiate Hall of Fame and had an amazing game in the Cotton Bowl. He left the team for reasons he never discussed and never played again.
    I played with him in high school. He has never told any of us why he left when he definately had an NFL job ahead of him

    Matt, as a VFL, I’d love to see your video on Inky Johnson. Dude was another 1st rounder for TN who’s life took a turn just before the NFL. He’s an AMAZING person

    Hi I’m from Aransas pass the little town he was born and raised in! From what I know he was unfortunately drugged with a laced blunt that had embalming fluid. Now he just lives a simple life walking around the same streets he was born in. Hope it helps with anyone still wondering.

    Come down to aransas pass, just saw him the other day. It was rough the first couple years after his college years, right now he is doing a lot better.

    You don't get depressed about anything.
    You get depressed due to changes in your brain chemistry.
    I once told a co worker I was depressed. She said " cheer up, you don't have anything to be depressed about".
    I said, " I'm not sad. I'm depressed".

    Matt... i can tell you what happened. Tommy was one of my best friends growing up. Put it plan and simple, a death in his family theu his family for a whirlwind. He lost the most important family member in his family and he struggled with that, as many do. His rock was gone and he lost site of his path.

    • @deakon071

      Hopefully he's doing ok these days. I've thought about him through the years and what a phenomenal player he was. His story is so untold and so sad. I'd hate to see his accomplishments go unnoticed.

    Depression isn't the same as being depressed medically Matt.
    You should change medical schools.

  • @dbeachmawmaw
    @dbeachmawmaw Рік тому +2

    Wow, that is weird but it is also very sad. A young man, Dad probably wasn't in his life, and he didn't know how to handle all the new found "real stardom". Plus Matt, if he already had any tendencies at all with depression or anxiety all the new "stardom" could have made these problems intensify. I hope he is doing good and got some help and is living a nice life. Thanks for the story Matt, very interesting!!
    ROLL TIDE!!

    Yo Matt,
    You can take my word for it, but I heard he is homeless in Aransas Pass from a reliable source that I know. It’s a shame to see such talent from the Coastal Bend area to go to waste.
