Adam- Like you say, there are only 32 kickers in the NFL. It's a privilege to play at that level. Get some game experience on your resume and see if you can work in the CFL or XFL. It's not as much $$$ but is a legitimate stepping stone to get to the NFL. Rootin' for you!!!
@@galav108if you’re a back up there’s a 90 percent chance you’re not getting a single second of playing time cause it’s a very low chance the kicker gets injured
Your a straight up beast man, from being a 0 star, to leg pains, to college kicker, your the definition of a hard working athlete and I'm proud to say that ik your story very inspirational. Your gonna get there and I can't wait when you do ready to cop that kickers nfl jersey
Just an FYI he was a 0 star because he went to a tiny high school in a little town in NW Montana, no one other than Montana or Montana St ever saw him play, if I recall Aaron Rogers and Josh Allen were both like 0-1 star guys, Rogers had to go to a local JC and Allen ended up at Wyoming. Rogers almost decided not to even play football after HS.
This video has answered so many questions. I was always so confused why you only kicked for a year for UM. Keep grinding man, real inspirations for so many walks.
Adam, really appreciate your dedication. I initially started watching your content just to see what it was but I became more and more interested watching your incredible talent as well as your coaching. I hope to see you wearing an NFL number one day and kicking in the bigs. If you don't, then you're destined for greatness elsewhere. Either way, keep doing what your doing! You are an inspiration.
Dont worry adam everybody always has a chance at something great even if it takes awhile in that case you deserve to be great and go to the NFL trust your literally him keep working bro 💯🔥
Hey Adam -- appreciate you brother. Wish you were NE Patriots kicker, you are needed -- and you'd be great kicking in New England weather. Hope you find a way!
Love your story so inspiring. I’m a new Griz fan (and Montanan) going on about 7 years now. Love going to Griz games with my boy. I didn’t realize it at the time but I was watching you kick. Such an honor. What a year we had this year.
Here. .... Thanks Adam. I appreciate you telling your story. Ive been watching you for a month or two, but just subscribed today - because of this video. I hope you post more vids with you talking ... whatever you're got to say. You're good at it
I love the brand and the quote that says, "if you don't believe in your self, who will?'' but the real answer to that is god.He will help you through everything and that is why we are all here today. Keep up the good work man!
You should be working with a snapper and holder …you should also be training with Zauner , Sailor or Kohls …you need to be able to hit 50 yds in all conditions under extreme mental pressure….thats the difference
(oh sry I didn’t mean to send it😭) anyways… you decided to keep pushing threw even when life got hard or the downs were bad but you still got threw the ups and the downs!! congrats keep working hard love ya!!💕
Man, hit up Joe Burrow. Dude will get you in. Pretty sure New York Giants and Rams need a kicker. If you were to go knock on 50 doors for what you wanted. I bet you one person would help. It takes 50 doors to find that one. I pray to see you in the NFL.
I got MAD respect for you, Homie. I have a pretty interesting story myself, which gives me a unique perspective into yours. The bottom line is that success in a person's life often ends up happening once LEGITIMATE, SACRIFICIAL preparation meets an unexpected and unpredictable opportunity. Like you said, next year there will be 32 people kicking the ball- even if all the best ones in the world fall over dead; they're gonna take the next best, available 32. Realistically, none of us can ever really say with any certainty that we're the best at anything, and if we happen to be it's probably only for a moment; HOWEVER, you may have the opportunity to be the right guy at the rightTIME. THAT is why you practice!
Back in the late 70s I was also a kicker, I simply wrote to every team and to my surprise they all wrote back, unfortunately they all said they weren't interested except the Cowboys, they actually offered me a tryout.
Every scout knows about this guy but they also don’t think he has it in him Being a kicker really isn’t about leg strength or accuracy because there’s a million people who can kick like that, it’s about having that strength and accuracy no matter what situation you’re in, wether you’re taking a an extra point in a blowout meaningless game or you’re taking a 55 yard field goal in the rain and wind with a game on the line. You can’t teach nerves, you can’t teach someone to handle the pressure you either have it or you don’t
Adam I can't believe you let Emily Harrigan go man. If you don't want her there are hundreds, if not thousands of us who would fight to be the lucky one to win her heart.
You inspired me to start kicking again. I’m 42 years old and kicked in high school and 1 year of college but reignited my desire. My hopes of becoming pro have past, but just the joy of the process has returned.
My dad knew who you were; as he was one of the dedicated that loved and followed all the UM football and basketball players. He passed away in January, a life long Griz fan! GO GRIZ!!!
Hey Adam I appreciate the vid it really has helped me figure myself, Im 17 freshly finished highschool and have no clue what to do. Sport is what I want to do but coming from NZ its hard Thanks to this video it has motivated me to push through thank you.
Adam don’t ever give up!!! You never know when a team might need a kicker and you will be ready to go. You kick just as good if not better than any kicker currently in the NFL!!!
I'm a basketball player, but people don't understand that the women's team is a way to get good solid reps. Also totally understand the surgeries. I basically blew up my meniscus and tore my ACL, then decided i enjoyed the ACL surgery so much the first time wanted to do it again a year and a half later.
Adam, if you only lack 1 year of college to earn your degree, finish college! Youth and athleticism are fleeting, knowledge stays with you all your days
I mean this as a compliment, so don't take it the wrong way. You speak very quickly, yet you are clear and concise the entire time. That's a rare trait. Also, have you ever tried punting? That would open up another 32 opportunities.
very inspiring video. I don’t even play kicker and that just motivated me to do the best I can and you just gave me advice to become a better Self than I could have been in the future. Thank you!! Love and support man❤
Bro, I don't even know how I started watching (probably the girls lol) but I actually am interested in what you do now lol. Shout out to your grind. It works.
Hopefully you end up like Dallas Cowboys kicker, Brandon Aubrey. He was a 27 year old rookie this year so if he got a chance, you’ll get a chance again.
love your story adam. keep working. make sure to get film out. try arena football. Arena football league is back and they pay a lot of money as well. Plus the indoor football league has connections with the ufl!
850 colleges play football, and 850 colleges have a kicker who is graduating and thinking they might make the NFL. 850 last year, 850 this year, 850 next year. That is some serious kicker competition for 32 NFL kicking spots.
Just now seen this and been wondering the same thing every time i see your UA-cam short. thats awesome man keep being you and youll get to where ever you want to go as long as you believe
Have been playing hockey for over 20 years & being able to reach the top pro level is extremely hard. Even the AHL, OHL, WHL is above what I’ve ever achieved. I’d be a 3rd line ECHL player on my best day. Hockey is the hardest sport to play pro or semi-pro … way harder than football & I like that we don’t get many low IQ knuckleheads like hoops & football.
you should try to be on a lower level then the nfl OR get onto the practice squad of a nfl team, we would all love to see you play at a pro level and see your story go viral. Keep your hopes up!
No lie u could go the Brandon Aubrey route to the nfl go to the xfl and show ur worth as a kicker bc surprisingly a lot of teams still need a solid kicker

32. Kickers and 2 backups and free agents
@@galav108if you’re a back up there’s a 90 percent chance you’re not getting a single second of playing time cause it’s a very low chance the kicker gets injured
@@alexamazingg7794I think he means only 2 teams employ a backup kicker. So there's only 34 total rostered kickers in the NFL.
Vikings could use a kicker. Try out 🤷🏻♂️
Don't forget the USFL

In case you were wondering why I also am not in the NFL, I'm 40 years old, white, 6 feet tall and weigh 150 lbs. That's why I'm not in the NFL.
Why u say white…
@@JayBee-ij8gf Because that rules out cornerback.
@@acidwizard6528 Every white CB is legendary
Not a bad build for a slot WR. What’s your 40 yard dash time young man?

I’m glad I found the video and got to hear the back story, makes me appreciate you even more my man 🤜🏻
Adam, you are a great kicker.
The NFL season is over, have you considered the UFL?
It worked out for Brandon Aubrey
you could look at the cfl, still a big league
I admire your dedication brother. Keep at it 🤙
What is the process you have to go through to get a tryout? Seems like there are a lot of teams unhappy with their kicking situation. Ex. Rams
Back in the late 70s I was also a kicker, I simply wrote to every team and to my surprise they all wrote back, unfortunately they all said they weren't interested except the Cowboys, they actually offered me a tryout.
As a Rams fan their kicking game has sucked this year. But all they’ve done is recycle the same guy they cut a few months ago.
Every scout knows about this guy but they also don’t think he has it in him
Being a kicker really isn’t about leg strength or accuracy because there’s a million people who can kick like that, it’s about having that strength and accuracy no matter what situation you’re in, wether you’re taking a an extra point in a blowout meaningless game or you’re taking a 55 yard field goal in the rain and wind with a game on the line.

NFL kickers suck I’m not sure why this man’s glazing so hard.
@@whycars7898 no they don't lmao thats why their in the NFL ....
Glad to see someone else feel the same way. I am introverted and hate being in front of a camera but don't mind it if I'm in control of what's posted.

You would be the best nfl kicker of all time
I liked my onw content
Good stuff, Bro. Always good to hear a perseverance story like this. It’s inspiring. Much respect.

I know you’ll make it
Nice meeting you after the FCS Championship...Keep putting in the work...it will pay off! Go Griz!
Hey Adam I appreciate the vid it really has helped me figure myself, Im 17 freshly finished highschool and have no clue what to do. Sport is what I want to do but coming from NZ its hard Thanks to this video it has motivated me to push through thank you.
Adam don’t ever give up!!! You never know when a team might need a kicker and you will be ready to go. You kick just as good if not better than any kicker currently in the NFL!!!
I know we all look forward to the day when you're on the team and we see your name on the back of an NFL Jersey and you kick your first field goal !!!
Love your videos and I’m a lifelong Cats fan born and raised in Bozeman… so it hurts me to admit this haha
You deserve to be there do what makes you happy we support you no matter what
I'm a basketball player, but people don't understand that the women's team is a way to get good solid reps.
Also totally understand the surgeries. I basically blew up my meniscus and tore my ACL, then decided i enjoyed the ACL surgery so much the first time wanted to do it again a year and a half later.
I was born and raised in Montana and I don’t really see anyone popular from Montana but this man I look up to him
Wish you the best and I have no doubt you will eventually get an opportunity in the NFL!
Your ups and downs stories make you much more human before I knew it bud. Best of luck buddy!
Here! and dude I love your content I am a junior high kicker and hope to be as good as you one day!
Go Griz homie. Cool to see ya succeed no matter where you’re at.
Love the Dreamer slogan! Keep up the hard work! It will take you places!
Thank you for your brutal honesty.
Keep working man. Happy your enjoying what your doing. Keep it up
