Being on the Eagles practice squad worked for Boston Scott
And rasoul douglas
Also Greg Ward and Travis Fulgham
Worked pretty well for DEBO
What's this guys name
@@NathanCline12-21 Debo went in the second round
Makes you respect guys like Ryan Neal from the Seahawks even more,
Quietly hustled on the practice squad, waited till he got called up, balled out made big plays, filled in admirably for injured Jamal Adams, now he’s permanently on the active roster and the team finds roles to utilize his skill set
Yep. A lot of people had amazing journeys an nfl active roster. Everyone has a different path.
The constant state of tension and managing the mixed emotions must have been intense. Staying positive must've been a lot easier said than done.
On the other hand, I've got two friends who were 2nd and 3rd stringers in the league, and they had houses 5 times the size of mine.
I have a friend who was 2nd string o-lineman for the 49ers. He owns a barber shop, a barber school and has a banging ass condo

If Julian Edelman and Aaron Rodgers where to fuze:
close. alex smith's older brother
@@rudyhancock348 makes sense
Travis kelce and Edelman
“Where” 🤦♂️🤣
I cant unsee it😂
In case people didn’t get the actual price point Practice squad players make around $8,400 a week, Veteran Practice squad players make $12,000
That's still a shit ton of money
8.4k a week for 16 weeks is still over 100k a year, not including the pre-season checks they may get. That’s still very good money.
Dang thats decent money still.no shame in that. More than i thought they get paid. Mentally though has to be tough cuz your so close to making team and just a call up away.but you have to keep grinding
Yeah that's not bad
How much does it cost to try out for a nfl team
For a second I thought he was Kyle Shanahan😂😂
sameeeeee
@Xavion Gunter yep he did
"I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice."
😂
Man, get new material. That shit is old and dated. Iverson ain't playing anymore

@@AD-ur1fk Even to this day, Jim Mora hates his "Playoffs"" sound bite. He sick of it
Even making a NFL PS is a big achievement. @ Never stop grinding#! Thanks JT I just love your passion for football and the no BS stories!
Bro. Your life experience is vast and immeasurable. Truly, thank you for sharing🏈👏😁
This is such a great a s unique channel. Where else can you get in depth analysis and insight from an NFL caliber quarterback? The fact that JT is so humble and was a long tenured 'journeyman' provides a unique perspective for what most NFL hopefuls can expect.
Seems to me like a practice squad guy could make himself useful with XO type stuff, film study, etc. and turn that into a potential assisstant gig even at a college with a reference from the NFL team. I know young guys don't really want to hear that though.
You look like Ryan Reynolds + Aaron Rodgers + Matt Lefleur + Ted Dibiase Jr
😂😂😂
@@CMan73 lmao literally bro
A lil alex Smith
Kyle Shanahan??????
😭😭😭 yo duh wwe Ted dibases 😭😭
I see you’re playing around with some fancy camera work. Great video as always!
Wow, JT I imagined the practice squad experience much differently and that is exactly what makes your videos so informative. Thank you!
This is my favorite video you have made. I am a big fan of your channel JT! I did not know that quarterbacks did not actually practice. It’s fascinating! It’s so real. I love practice squad guys! I appreciate what they do for our teams and for our sport. They are an inspiration! I am glad that people love the sport itself aside from the glitter of fame and fortune. I tried out for an NBA D league team. It was a memorable experience, but it was also very emotional difficult. You get such hope, but it’s such a long shot dream. It’s not as glamorous as it seems.
You kinda just touched on it here, but I’m sure people would be interested in a video on “the patriot way”.
“Don’t give Tom Brady any credit and convince folks he’s a system QB”
Absolutely love your channel, educates me as so much as a fan of the game.
Thank you for taking your time to make these and keep up the good work!
I love these vids, I find them so interesting.
Thanks for this JT! Going from home to Practice Squad is my goal this weekend! Wish me luck!
Great insight, Mr. Sullivan. Thanks for sharing
Yoo Jt! love the vid. As a 100k subs video you should get on the field and show some useful qb drills that we could implement in practice in quarentine. Congrats on 100k
Great video man. Nothing like first hand experience.
Hi JT.
Your channel is great. I'm a Chef in Canada and would like to know a bit about meals and nutrition, particularly on the road.
Here are the points I am asking:
1) Are players the night before dining as a team or are they permitted to go out on their own?
2) The pregame meal- is it catered by the hotel banquet departments?
3) Do teams still do the orange and banana services or have sport science meals replaced them?
4) The replacement post game meals- are they catered by the airlines or are teams bringing in food from restaurants?
Working in kitchens, we normally work hungry because of the pace, heat and stress. After the day ends and we get our showers in, major hunger then occurs. I couldn't imagine the hunger about an hour after a pro ball game.
Those are great questions
My goodness going to a live taping of Springer would have been absolutely epic. Did that ever happen? Ha.
Never. Still bummed.
If you're in the Eagles practice squad, you're starting week1
Interesting and different outlook that you don’t hear often. Great stuff. Enjoyed this video.
Awesome vid JT learned a lot
When players go from team to team (especially within the same division), do they give away secrets about the team they left? How much do teams have to chance terminology when that happens?
Yea I think pat mcafee did a video on this
Jaydan Bowland exactly I saw that too. Also hilarious that he went from the packers, bears to Vikings (all nfc north)
@@jaydanbowland4933 what's the link of it?
@@ortega701 ua-cam.com/video/u3wt1er7sQY/v-deo.html
First and I really love the videos man keep posting them I love learning new things about the nfl
Love this channel
This set up is really nice!
Thanks for the information
Long time 49er fan here, thank you J.T.
Hey JT, I really enjoyed watching you play in the NFL Europe all these years ago. I would love it if you did a video about your time there, how much it helped in development and if you believe a similar developmental league for the NFL would be something the teams would support.
Bears fan since 1979, let's hear some of those Orton stories.
great video!
you should definitely do a video about how the pats run their organization different than others and what you like better /worse
Sick insight
Ah, man. Jeff Blake. Grew up 26 miles from ECU. Remember Blake balling out. He was a pioneer.
This is great!
The fact that you only have 107k followers is crazy, you should hit half a million soon
Hey JT - Can you do a video on what a daily meetings and practices. What they day to day is from wake up to end. It would be great to show us office people how you guys juggle meetings and on field work and S&C. Thanks! Also shed some light on what team and individual team meeetings are like- style, is it a bunch of yelling? is it like class? share some funny and serious stories! Def leave names out :)
Excellent insight to a limbo-esque experience!
JT, which DC do you believe gave QBs the most trouble in your time? What coverages or mixture of coverages did you feel caused you the most stress and, if you were a QB coach right now, which young guy would you want to work with and why? Thank you for all you do, a great gift to many of us fans! Terrific insight, plenty of fun and loads of info!!!
@@javonkinnley that is my real name
Good info
Yeah,for sure need more videos like this. The insight/behind the scenes stuff. X/Is routes and release is good to but this is nice
Good stuff J.T.! I remember having football cards of you, which was pretty cool. Through this, there were some assumptions I would have about a practice squad; I guess you answered it a bit given that there weren't even 20 players on the practice squad, but I thought that there were enough players to run like 6 v 6 starter vs practice squad? Or maybe positional drills with practice squad players to avoid injury or fatigue? Ok one more; Do you have a version of the current playbook so you can try to memorize plays and work to recognize how it might defeat certain defenses? Do you get to use the facility and practice with the other practice squad people to refine? You played during the NFL europe days right? That must have been a blast and nice for a second chance. ty
Let’s talk dollars and cents, but never says the amount or truly explain how pay works for practice players
Only reason why I watched the entire thing and got click baited
I've heard they make roughly $100,000 a year give or take $25,000
@Jeremy Chun I don’t believe that. That’s more then the league minimum I’m pretty sure
I think i remember reading that the league minimum was around 400k a year? Maybe im completely wrong since that’s an absurd amount of money lol
@@thomaslee4501 I think league minimum is $250,000 a year but I think it only applies to the 1800 players in the NFL
I'm here after the Broncos QB fiasco
If you are on the Colts WR practice squad this year, you have a good chance of playing in an actual game and having Rivers throw you passes, it's happened nearly every game this season already.
Can you make a part 2 where you go through what your daily routine was on a practice squad? I kinda understand but at the same time you said you don't get reps on the P squad, so what are you doing? Why is the team paying you?
Resident Canadian here. Did you ever consider playing in the CFL? The league has a long history and has churned out several QB's who went on to illustrious careers in the NFL. Warren Moon and Joe Thiesman are two names that immediately come to mind, but there are many more.
Doug flutie!
@@leorickt.9604 That's right. He set a lot of records during his time here, and he still raves about how much fun he had playing in the CFL. Another QB that comes to mind is Jeff Garcia. He didn't put up the same numbers as those already mentioned, but he was a competent starting QB during his time in the NFL.
I did.
@@TheQBSchool ...And what happened?
@@TheQBSchool Tumbleweeds blowin' in the wind. Do you mean you played in the CFL or you just considered doing so? Sorry, I don't know your name, otherwise I would have done the heavy lifting and found out on my own.
Can you break down how to throw different routes and wear to throw them
Where* LUL
Nah but that's some good ideas
Could you make a video about pass Pro after a Playaction ? X&O's
Good idea...next course maybe?
I’d love a video on learning the play book, how many plays do you have to memorize snd other issues? Are there any tricks to learning (and teaching) the playbook?
Jeff
HS QB 49er fan
have this vid
This was a super interesting topic and video
J.T. when your were picked up by the Bears and then by the Vikings, did they try to get information about their opponents play books? Could this be a tactic by teams to get an advantage when they pick up players from teams that play in their division?
Is there much pull from the CFL as an alternative to the practice squad?
Loving your channel! Could you make a video on Sam Ehlinger? I can’t tell if he is just a decent college player that won’t succeed at a higher level or if he can become a modern day gunslinger in the nfl.
I did I think
@@TheQBSchool I don't see one on your channel
@@GloPierre yeah me neither
@@TheQBSchool You did one on Texas RPO’s but not Ehlinger himself I think
Could you please breakdown chase garbers from cal?
Prob not
Hey bro, Could you please do a video on Alex Smith comeback?
I know at least one team pays a practice squad QB $8000 a week and guaranteed a minimum of $35,000 each week if you were called up to the active roster. As mentioned in the video, that's only during the regular season.
Could you do a video about Garrett Gilbert's first NFL start last week?
Prob not
@@TheQBSchool no problem, great videos
Brutal reply 😂😂😂💀
Basically blue mountain state
When would it make sense to pull a Flutie and go north?
Ballage was on the charger practice squad and stepped up for them
Can you do a video on Phil Jurkovec?
Would you get a ringing they won while you were on the practice squad?
Now I'm a little confused jt. This no man's land of being on the squad but not really running the scout team in practice; is that quarterback specific or pretty much that way for every position? Running backs for example. Let's say I'm 4th string and the organization is only carrying 3 on the active roster and I get released and picked up on the practice squad. Am I running the opposition's running plays against the first string defense or is that deferred to the other two guys above me on the depth chart. I get that the second string QB will run scout team but is that QB specific and the other positions are practice squad personnel?
What years where you on the practice squad
Do practice Squad players get to play in the XFL? For film purposes?
Wait a minute.....Deadpool was the QB coach for the Bears?
I’m thinking about playing qb next year. I play all the time with my friends, but I want to know how I can get better and prepare for an actually game setting
Tape watch tape
How do you get on the practice squad
What’s the biggest difference between the college and pro game?
Practice squad worked out pretty well for Adam Thielen.
But do they have access to all the team gear? Do they get to pick new gear whenever they feel like it? I used to be friends with the Eagles equip mgr and he thought it was hilarious to leave bags of their junk on my steps. Wonder if they have piles or hoodies and team gear?
Bears Practice Squad Alumni ✌🏾🙌🏾 beardown
Is it better to be on the practice squad or go try to make a spot on the Canadian Football League?
I have a Question Coach, when you get cut by a team why is it that another team can't pick you up until you clear waivers . Also, how does waivers work...
But do you get to go to games and stand on the sidelines or do you watch the game from home when on the practice squad?
Would you rather be a starter for arena football or on an NFL practice squad?
Sometimes I feel as a Bears fan that if we didn’t trade for Jay Cutler we would’ve been fine since Orton was all we needed with that defense and we also coulda saved a first round pick.
Im kool being on the practice squd 8k a week yea all i gtta do is go to practice id buy trucks and tun it up
now days they make 12,000 a week
How many hidden gems are on a practice squad ? I mean obviously they got cut for what ever reason but I would think some slip through the cracks
I wonder how many other leagues have something similar. Like g league in the nba and how much talent isn’t giving the chance.
Do practice squad players go to games? I know they don't travel, I know they don't play in games. I just want to know if they go to home games, whether its on the sidelines or whatever. Google has not helped me answer this question.
They can go to games but they cannot be on the field. I have an entire video on my channel about them from how much they make to how many years they can be up there.
@@HerSportsConvo Hot d@ng! That's exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks, and nice channel!
I clicked on this video for the title and it was very interesting and insightful.. I always wondered.
5 seconds into this vide "I'm J.T. O'Sullivan" And I'm like......... why is that familiar?????
Alex Trebek: "This NFL quarterback was traded to the Green Bay Packers prior to the 2005 NFL draft, where they drafted the successor to Brett Favre."
Aaron Rodgers: "Who is J.T. O'Sullivan"
Sorry if that's a bad rub. I'm a Pack fan, so I'm going to hunt your past videos to see if there are stories or not. But after that quick google search I remembered why the name seemed familiar. That had to feel kinda bad to see Rodgers get drafted just after getting traded to Green Bay.
Saw this video- is it better to be on a practice squad or starter in the CFL ?
p squad
Way better pay,& gig, than the average American's job. I get theres tough things about it, but tough for me to feel to sorry for these guys,Im unemployed cuz of the Pandemic. As you said, it's much better than getting cut,& having to find a "real job," but I do get where you are coming from.
I really wanna hear Kyle Orton stories.
What do you mean with the overflow in the second locker room?
There is 53 spots on a NFL Team. When you include the Practice squad which is 10 spots you have 63, there’s only 53 lockers in a average stadium so the overflow would have a auxiliary locker room with 10 lockers in a whole different room.
Young Rockie thanks
Hey JT! Go Aggies. I was hoping we can get a breakdown of Desmon Ridder and Malik Willis.
He looks like Walter White and Alex Smith the QB had a baby lol, keep up the work though brotha
Are practice squad guys mostly undrafted free agents?
This may have already been asked and answered...but if you are on the practice squad of a Super Bowl winning team, are you considered PART of that team and recieve a ring? Always wondered.
Yes
200 thousand for 17 weeks I’ll take it.I wonder if after 3 years on practice squad if you are vested in the nfl pension program?Like a regular player.
Good question
Practice Squad players still get paid thousands of dollars per week.
Personal question, but what was career earnings like for you..?
None of your damn business, that’s what it was like
If you take nothing from this but one thing she keeps saying how fortunate and lucky he was that is a big part in life that we cannot control. Even successful NFL quarterbacks have to get lucky breaks it's what you do with them because everybody gets them but just remember an ex- NFL quarterback when talking about his career is talking about how fortunate and lucky and the brakes in which he got but they would have been times he did not know but he still worked hard even though there was no guarantee if you don't put the work in you get disqualified from taking advantage of fortunate events in your life
This is why I think the NFL needs a minor league like the AFL to develop practice squad players, like they could play in the summer and we can have football year round.
Not going to happen: the NFL has a free developmental system in the NCAA: no reason to pay for a minor league
