I believe Deestroying was a BIG part of the college kids being able to get paid off their names and likeness. Although what he did by going to court put a lot of eyeballs on the situation, I feel and believe that was the beginning of what now is a beautiful thing for all college student athletes! I'm not saying Deestroying started the conversation, but he damn sho pushed the issue!
Damn straight, I remember seeing his story a few years ago and since then it's only improved for NCAA athletes, dude doesn't get enough credit for really restarting the dialogue with an actual use case not just some ethereal concept of players making money during college
"if only deestroying was a few years younger" that really is all it boils down to, and its pretty sad. they ended the mans football career and basically shattered his dream of being in the NFL, all over a degressive rule that they ended up getting rid of a few years later.
I mean... he did decide to chase UA-cam instead of football. Not saying the rule was fair but he made a choice He's also doing very well for himself on UA-cam financially. I think he's fine
@GetShaftedBuddy , i think its because he's a kicker. he doesnt match the usual profile of nfl kickers. when i first heard of deestroying, i thought he was a wide out or cb because he's always showing wr cb battles. i was shocked to find out he was just a kicker.
He paved the way for future college athletes. It came at his own expense. If he never makes it to the NFL I really hope they recognize him for what he did for college students. I would have told him don't chase the money but that ending where NCAA rules changed was a game changer.
he kinda sacrificed himself for future athletes in college. they say everything happens for a reason. maybe hes purpose isnt the nfl. maybe it is. only time will tell.
Why should they recognize him? When you're clueless and don't recognize Ed Obanon. I promise you, that you have no idea who Ed Obanon is without Google. He been fighting this fight before Destroying even had a UA-cam account, and put in 1000x more work.
everyone saying he sacrificed himself but low key the whole thing actually is what blew him up. Im sure im not the only one who didnt know who he was until they found out about the NCAA cracking down on him
He didn't pave the way. He just made the easy choice, he wasn't anywhere near pro level and that's it. His channel had nothing to do with the NCAA allowing them to make money.
Honesty if you're a team with a bad kicker. And mid season the team doesn't look like it's getting a playoff spot. Sign deestroying. Mad viewership. And a small chance at actually having a good kicker.

So would the team get value for him? yes. Would it be an immense amount? no not really. Would they get a better player at the kicker postion? yeah for about 20 NFL teams.

Can you believe that one factor was because Deestroying was seen doing too much in too many position? It sure looks like a positive thing but it could really be that most NFL GM’s would actually be really looking for players who are most proficient at their position than being seen as an Jack of all trades. At the highest and elitest level maybe they’d rather sign a Spade instead.

Just a perspective, tho.

@@favoriteheartfelt7401 uhh no. There has been hundreds of athletes involved in similar litigation issues. He just happens to be the most known to the young demographics because of UA-cam
Ima be 100% honest, the real reason why he’s not in the nfl is because he’s not good enough he never started as a place kicker at UCF and wasn’t able to make a CFL team
Do people really think he is/was good enough to play in the league. I dont have anything against the guy and like his videos, but there's no way he's good enough.
@@gabrielsimbachosenboxing6734 because he is not consistent. and he wants the spotlight too bad. He needs to be in the spotlight somewhere other than the NFL.
he made the best choice- no injuries, no mental ailments from the constant head on head contact and healthy body-sanity and dealing with pressures of NFL and limelight. and he still making millions
Homie go harder without the NFL he showing little kids you can still be great in make money at just being you and having fun. He’s the real MVP respect in honor to Deestroying
That NCAA rule is so stupid. Why are the coaches, ESPN, colleges, scouts, and everyone who works for NCAA allowed to make money except for the people actually making them the money?
I’m from Australia and play rugby league and I still watch deestroying bro his videos are sick especially like checking out how good like Boston players are and others
He chose his UA-cam career cause he knew chances were he wasn’t making it to the NFL, he is definitely very good and way above average but he’s not the 1% who make it to the NFL and become starters.
@@Loqvu I honestly don’t think so, he would have received a call by now. He’s getting older which isn’t gaining value on his stock, but losing it, and like I said, he is VERY good but he is not elite like the 1% of NFL kickers.
Damn. I'm a new fan of his channel. I was wondering and now I know. I just love this dude even more. GOOD ON YOU for staying you and doing what is right!! Mad respect and love!!
I need ppl to understand because I know how some things work on the inside(in my case soccer but the system for scouting works similar), the main problem IMO was him not playing for a club/team consistently. We all know he’s athletic but without having actual footage of competitive games and only training it doesn’t count. It’s not the same and it doesn’t give you full credibility because a game is a lot more intense, more pressure, high levels of mental and physical awareness/contact, atmosphere changes, weather plays a role, level of competition, tactics,…just too many factors and without them in real time it’s a very high risk for a team to sign a player with only training and challenges over another competitor with actual game footage, accolades, and stats. You need to understand it from the managers viewpoint and not just player since it’s easy to do so. Even though he has the potential, I think he needs to put himself in some sort of semi pro competitive league at least or network with other professionals for a legit opening. He can have a good career if he did something similar to what I said because that’s the reality of the game and he can also use his huge fan base as leverage for better pay, sponsors, incentives …or at least that’s what I would do as his agent. Still hoping he makes it.
Only way he’ll turn heads again is if he actually is consistent with his kicks. You can say all you want but fact is he couldn’t beat his competition. Hope he tries again to get his scholarship back. Especially after finding out they can use their status for UA-cam
The elephant in the room here is this....None of these teams including players wants this side show circus going on. He literally films ever single thing he does. All due respect for him as he has made a living out of it. When it comes down to it all that stuff is not welcomed in the dressing room on the field etc. sucks but its the truth
My favorite video game was NCAA football it's no longer made because of the NCAA and their greed so I'm subscribing to your and Deestroying channels right now
As a former D1/Minor League Baseball player, I can confidently say Dee is a better athlete than most can imagine. My creative outlet was a badass 90s band in college…and even that couldn’t be posted on YT without NCAA eyes prying for signs of alcohol.
I remember when he first made the video of him saying he had to choose YT over a football career. Here’s the thing he can make guarantee money on social media rather than being cut from the nfl if hurt or not producing
Why would the NFL give a guy who can’t even make a CFL team a try out… never kicked a FG in college either… dude would get laughed off the field next to legit NFL kickers.
Americans are so weird to me. Why do you want a player to pick one when he can excel at both? These lot are so power hungry. Glad Dee is thriving through UA-cam
Your framed everything in a positive light, but here's the straight facts: -Broke the rules at his college -Chose youtube over college -Can maybe kick -Ran a 4.6 (slow for a WR)
1. Who tf is the NCAA to say I can’t make money off the same athleticism they wanted me for? How would it look if your $65,000 a year job said “you can’t have no side businesses because it’s going to take focus and money away from my business”? It makes sense until you realize they only saying that to control you and make sure they maximize their profits not yours. 2. He wouldn’t choose UA-cam (A place where you can literally make money in your sleep) vs. a place that literally breeds people to be sheep for billion dollar corporations. 3. He proved he can kick countless times in his UA-cam videos. 4. He’s a kicker
@@D1SneakyLink tbf kicking with pads on in high pressure situations, with people rushing you, vs kicking practice kicks are two *veeerrryyyy* different things. Any kicker can nail 90%+ of their kicks in practice, but the league avg is about 80, with many kickers doing even worse. He hasn't exactly proved he can kick in those conditions, he hadn't proved he can't either though I guess. The only time he even had a chance to prove it was in the cfl and that ended pretty quickly.
@@D1SneakyLink its a different kind of pressure, you cant be sure he can until he proves it. Kicking a game winner to save your teams chances at winning, with pads on and 11 250+ pound guys trying everything they can to take your head off and you have about a second, maybe less to get that ball off, is not the same as a practice kick. He also played a very little and was apparently a backup the whole time. In CFL he missed a 20 yarder in preseason. Again he could be pretty good, but we just don’t have that information so we can’t say he would be.
I’m sure he’s having fun, but it’s always great to set a main life goal. That’s what he did. A lot of people are saying he’s not all that good, but there are many videos showing lots of his athlete talent. There’s too many videos for it just to be “luck”.
It's crazy how many different ways one can destroy their career. In 1995 I was Californias top 100 recruits, I was 6'1 225 4.40 40 in regular shoes, 10.8 100 m 22.7 200m power clean record Jr yr 285lbs, I was heading to Colorado buffaloes, I walked the school with Rashaan Salaam, Eric Bieniemy and Kordell Stewart their last year, I ended up in the feds instead and had a way different walk than thought. It's hard to watch these situations because it's a reminder how much I lost. It's a very exclusive club, so many variables are created to thin the allotted positions, so really everyone who didn't make it can breathe easy, because it's very hard to sell every part of you when you are so young.
Hope this young man gets his shot because he's really passionate about what he does I would like to see his name on a Sunday game keep grinding young man 💪💪
Give my boy a chance after the cowboys kicker missed 4 extra points yesterday. I’m tired of kickers that aren’t actually good in the league. we have to change the rules around players making money in the ncaa. They are taken advantage of by the schools and make a ton of money while the athletes get nothing for their work. They have to wait til they are pro to get any compensation and that is t a guarantee.
This is how I felt in high school..I graduated in 09 and was a beast and we really didnt have social media like that but as soon as the 2010s hit more kids started to be noticed where I was from!
Man I'm glad he didn't sell out like most would or have. You don't have to prove anything to anyone bruh your dedication, self discipline, and gratitude will get your work noticed.
@@rileyneupauer3993 You're failing to see the point. Would you rather make bank on UA-cam videos because you AREN'T in the NFL... Or would you rather make bank kicking footballs because you ARE in the NFL?
i think the main reason is how sensitive the function of an NFL locker room is and how risky it would be to bring a UA-cam channel with millions of followers into it…. adds an extra spotlight no NFL team has ever had
There are an abundance of kickers kicking their entire hs and college career in live game situations fighting for these 60 spots. You are all fucking delusional not understanding how good these few players in the league are compared to even college players that didn't make it.
My boy dee paving a way for young men who need a platform them 1v1s for the bread are entertainin asf even tho ima nba basketball fan them 1v1 he and coach otb host are fire
Because he really doesn’t want to be in the NFL. He gets way more “attention” which he wants, and makes more money from controversy and UA-cam than he would if he was playing... and, that’s his right.
No… If he was a good NFL kicker he would make far more doing that… In one year he could make his entire net worth if he was legit. Mason Crosby has made 41 million in his career not counting and endorsements.
ik if he got signed i would actually have a favorite team bc i love his personality. i can’t relate to any players atm. idk how to explain it. i think he should get signed. he’s good and fast soooo like 🤔🤔
Why not tell the entire story? The NCAA ruled he could continue with his YT channel as long as he didn’t film or make money off of the schools name. That was the only rule they gave him and he lied about it and said they made him choose. Poor research and misinformation
Dude probably got cut from the team when the next group of kickers came from the next recruiting class. He never even attempted a FG. And only attempted 1 PAT. Anyone talking about the NFL is fooling themselves. Dude couldn’t even make the CFL. If he was even good enough to be a decent NFL kicker the CFL would be all over him regardless of antics. He has no shot because he isn’t good enough or honestly even close to good enough.
He's fast for a kicker but not for a wr, check every 5'9" 170 pound receiver in the NFL and the only way they make it is being at sub 4.45 speed often sub 4.4.
He could play in the European League of Football for a year and show people how consistent he is.. also could create some youtube content while living in Europe.
I think you played this guy up a few notches from what he actually was. I mean he had some pretty entertaining videos etc. But the reality is he wasn't a top notch football player in any position. Like, he played at UCF for 2 years and wasn't even the number 1 kicker... He couldn't make it in the CFL which isn't quite NFL talent heavy. I honestly never expected him to make it in the NFL, I'm surprised anyone for real would have.
Lmao he’s not good enough 😂 stop it. 0 FG attempts in 2 years in college. He was never hittin the league. He was smart to take the YT route and subs he got from the NCAA making him pick.
College used to have a problem with athletes making money while enrolled in the school. Now there’s NIL deals over a million dollars, recruiting trips, scholarships and other sweeteners that cost about half a million. The NCAA punished this guy, then 10 years later they say have at it kid, go make that money. I don’t think he should be in the NFL simply because his leg isn’t strong enough, and he’s not consistent enough to compete with others for their jobs. If he was able to play, he’d be on a roster. He’s had a CFL preseason and struggled there too.
It’s cuz he’s too “bling” they think he would cause a trouble in the locker room. NFL teams hate it, they hate social butterflies unless you’re very very good but he hasn’t shown it yet due to lack of opportunity.
yet juju will make tiktoks on other teams home turf and its ok now. the NFL is such a fucking joke for "Trouble" in the locker room that teams understand making some youtube vids for some content
@@teccastar it was also said that only a certain amount of Americans are allowed to make the roster on each CFL team and that they didn't want to waste one of those American roster spots on a Kicker.
@@teccastar okay let’s be completely transparent, how else was he going to get on a team? He kicks in a controlled environment and his only track record is 1 extra point his freshmen year and 0 meaningful points in his sophomore year. His clout was going to be the single only thing that would get him on a team
Amazing video 🔥🔥🔥

@@favoriteheartfelt7401 uhh no. There has been hundreds of athletes involved in similar litigation issues. He just happens to be the most known to the young demographics because of UA-cam
@@tredaviousbowser7931 of course and yet again he had the biggest impact whether you like it or not 😂 like damn
@@favoriteheartfelt7401 uhhh no. Review cases and come back
Ima be 100% honest, the real reason why he’s not in the nfl is because he’s not good enough he never started as a place kicker at UCF and wasn’t able to make a CFL team
Yes Thank you. He played in less than half of the games he was there and wasn’t even the #1 kicker 😂
Do people really think he is/was good enough to play in the league. I dont have anything against the guy and like his videos, but there's no way he's good enough.
It’s more about his versatility. He’s not a regular kicker💀
@@xey5623 if you think he’s a good enough athlete to compete with nfl guys you are sadly mistaken
@@bigman4560 How athletic do u think kickers are? He’s more athletic than any kicker in the league now
I hope he gets on a NFL time. Don't give up bro. God Bless
Would be dooe but he’s just not good enough
@@jakethompson4204 why you say that?
@@gabrielsimbachosenboxing6734 because he is not consistent. and he wants the spotlight too bad. He needs to be in the spotlight somewhere other than the NFL.
The saints could have sign him but they would rather get a doinker instead lmao
@@MrJimShorts true that makes sense
“Weather” “Relised” Anybody else peeped that?😂
There are NUMEROUS misspellings in this video.
@@axsdeny seriously, how do you make a good video but don't spellcheck your work? LOL
There were definitely way more typos than those two words. The video was pretty good, but homeboy needs an editor for his spelling.
Thats what yall paid attention to huh lmao.. cant please everyone lol..
There will definitely be a movie about him one day. Pioneer 🐐
he made the best choice- no injuries, no mental ailments from the constant head on head contact and healthy body-sanity and dealing with pressures of NFL and limelight. and he still making millions
Homie go harder without the NFL he showing little kids you can still be great in make money at just being you and having fun. He’s the real MVP respect in honor to Deestroying
I just started watching Deestroying and didn't really understand his background...thanks for the video!
Dee, the opportunity is coming…! I can feel it. Praying for you 🙏🏻
It’s not it would’ve been came it’s ok though he doing his thang
Sorry man but there is literally no way he gets drafted maybe free agent? I haven’t really watched closely how that works .
That NCAA rule is so stupid. Why are the coaches, ESPN, colleges, scouts, and everyone who works for NCAA allowed to make money except for the people actually making them the money?
I’m from Australia and play rugby league and I still watch deestroying bro his videos are sick especially like checking out how good like Boston players are and others
He chose his UA-cam career cause he knew chances were he wasn’t making it to the NFL, he is definitely very good and way above average but he’s not the 1% who make it to the NFL and become starters.
Naw he was going to make the NFL
@@Loqvu I honestly don’t think so, he would have received a call by now. He’s getting older which isn’t gaining value on his stock, but losing it, and like I said, he is VERY good but he is not elite like the 1% of NFL kickers.
@@thecustomconcern are you trying to tell me that Cody parkey is elite..
@@ninecool11 Whether I do or don’t doesn’t matter, but NFL GM’s thought he was when they signed him.
Derrick Pfohl I mean to be fair if he was trying to make it as a kicker, him getting older really doesn’t matter too much
15 missed field goals or extra points this weekend brodie needs to be a kicker haha
Damn teams couldn’t hit game winners from 30 yards 😂😂😂
I thought of Dee and that King punter on Sunday. There were 5 missed FGs before halftime of the early games lpl
Damn. I'm a new fan of his channel. I was wondering and now I know. I just love this dude even more. GOOD ON YOU for staying you and doing what is right!! Mad respect and love!!
I need ppl to understand because I know how some things work on the inside(in my case soccer but the system for scouting works similar), the main problem IMO was him not playing for a club/team consistently. We all know he’s athletic but without having actual footage of competitive games and only training it doesn’t count. It’s not the same and it doesn’t give you full credibility because a game is a lot more intense, more pressure, high levels of mental and physical awareness/contact, atmosphere changes, weather plays a role, level of competition, tactics,…just too many factors and without them in real time it’s a very high risk for a team to sign a player with only training and challenges over another competitor with actual game footage, accolades, and stats. You need to understand it from the managers viewpoint and not just player since it’s easy to do so. Even though he has the potential, I think he needs to put himself in some sort of semi pro competitive league at least or network with other professionals for a legit opening. He can have a good career if he did something similar to what I said because that’s the reality of the game and he can also use his huge fan base as leverage for better pay, sponsors, incentives …or at least that’s what I would do as his agent. Still hoping he makes it.
Only way he’ll turn heads again is if he actually is consistent with his kicks. You can say all you want but fact is he couldn’t beat his competition. Hope he tries again to get his scholarship back. Especially after finding out they can use their status for UA-cam
The elephant in the room here is this....None of these teams including players wants this side show circus going on. He literally films ever single thing he does. All due respect for him as he has made a living out of it. When it comes down to it all that stuff is not welcomed in the dressing room on the field etc. sucks but its the truth
My favorite video game was NCAA football it's no longer made because of the NCAA and their greed so I'm subscribing to your and Deestroying channels right now
As a former D1/Minor League Baseball player, I can confidently say Dee is a better athlete than most can imagine.
My creative outlet was a badass 90s band in college…and even that couldn’t be posted on YT without NCAA eyes prying for signs of alcohol.
I remember when he first made the video of him saying he had to choose YT over a football career. Here’s the thing he can make guarantee money on social media rather than being cut from the nfl if hurt or not producing
Destroying is a good guy and I hope that he gets a tryout from an NFL team soon!
He won’t
Why would the NFL give a guy who can’t even make a CFL team a try out… never kicked a FG in college either… dude would get laughed off the field next to legit NFL kickers.
Make your sub count public!!! It increases hype
Americans are so weird to me. Why do you want a player to pick one when he can excel at both? These lot are so power hungry. Glad Dee is thriving through UA-cam
Humans are always power hungry so stfu
@Michael Porter yeh, took them long enough
You’ll get it homie!!! I’m 5”6 and got an offer at 27 to go tryout for the suns and their D league squad. He keep working he’ll get that shit fasho!!
Watching this after he signed his xfl deal
Your framed everything in a positive light, but here's the straight facts:
-Broke the rules at his college
-Chose youtube over college
-Can maybe kick
-Ran a 4.6 (slow for a WR)
1. Who tf is the NCAA to say I can’t make money off the same athleticism they wanted me for? How would it look if your $65,000 a year job said “you can’t have no side businesses because it’s going to take focus and money away from my business”? It makes sense until you realize they only saying that to control you and make sure they maximize their profits not yours.
2. He wouldn’t choose UA-cam (A place where you can literally make money in your sleep) vs. a place that literally breeds people to be sheep for billion dollar corporations.
3. He proved he can kick countless times in his UA-cam videos.
4. He’s a kicker
@@D1SneakyLink tbf kicking with pads on in high pressure situations, with people rushing you, vs kicking practice kicks are two *veeerrryyyy* different things. Any kicker can nail 90%+ of their kicks in practice, but the league avg is about 80, with many kickers doing even worse. He hasn't exactly proved he can kick in those conditions, he hadn't proved he can't either though I guess. The only time he even had a chance to prove it was in the cfl and that ended pretty quickly.
@@luisquezada9806 he played in college and amassed nice UA-cam career I think he could handle all the pressure that comes on and off the field.
@@D1SneakyLink its a different kind of pressure, you cant be sure he can until he proves it. Kicking a game winner to save your teams chances at winning, with pads on and 11 250+ pound guys trying everything they can to take your head off and you have about a second, maybe less to get that ball off, is not the same as a practice kick. He also played a very little and was apparently a backup the whole time. In CFL he missed a 20 yarder in preseason. Again he could be pretty good, but we just don’t have that information so we can’t say he would be.
Honestly i dont believe deestroying needs the nfl anymore he’s having fun where he is but i could be wrong
I’m sure he’s having fun, but it’s always great to set a main life goal. That’s what he did. A lot of people are saying he’s not all that good, but there are many videos showing lots of his athlete talent. There’s too many videos for it just to be “luck”.
Jags, Lions, Giants, and Jets could use him somewhere. They have nothing to lose
Nah the chargers need him badly
The giants have graham gano you bum
What about the vikings
I meant in general, not just using him as a kicker
@@MarcoPoloYT7 right I’m dying 💀
It's crazy how many different ways one can destroy their career. In 1995 I was Californias top 100 recruits, I was 6'1 225 4.40 40 in regular shoes, 10.8 100 m 22.7 200m power clean record Jr yr 285lbs, I was heading to Colorado buffaloes, I walked the school with Rashaan Salaam, Eric Bieniemy and Kordell Stewart their last year,
I ended up in the feds instead and had a way different walk than thought. It's hard to watch these situations because it's a reminder how much I lost.
It's a very exclusive club, so many variables are created to thin the allotted positions, so really everyone who didn't make it can breathe easy, because it's very hard to sell every part of you when you are so young.
I’m praying he doesn’t give up!!
This video was amazing and I was shocked when I saw that you only have 67 subs. Keep this up and you’ll for sure have a big Chanel
When the NCAA takes notice, two words:
GRIP BOOST
Hope this young man gets his shot because he's really passionate about what he does I would like to see his name on a Sunday game keep grinding young man 💪💪
So are thousands of other college athletes… you don’t deserve anything
Give my boy a chance after the cowboys kicker missed 4 extra points yesterday. I’m tired of kickers that aren’t actually good in the league. we have to change the rules around players making money in the ncaa. They are taken advantage of by the schools and make a ton of money while the athletes get nothing for their work. They have to wait til they are pro to get any compensation and that is t a guarantee.
This is how I felt in high school..I graduated in 09 and was a beast and we really didnt have social media like that but as soon as the 2010s hit more kids started to be noticed where I was from!
Man I'm glad he didn't sell out like most would or have. You don't have to prove anything to anyone bruh your dedication, self discipline, and gratitude will get your work noticed.
clearly you're right because this guy makes UA-cam videos while some other guy is kicking footballs for the NFL making bank.
@@Scrimm_ they both make bank
@@rileyneupauer3993 You're failing to see the point. Would you rather make bank on UA-cam videos because you AREN'T in the NFL... Or would you rather make bank kicking footballs because you ARE in the NFL?
@@dylansmith1180 he practices all the time wym
@@dylansmith1180 he dont practice on camera all the time.. but the man still grinds off camera
Because he need to get him an agent that can get him into try outs/ training campe
Not paying college athletes is scummy enough, actively screwing with them when they try to better themselves off the field is too far.
Wow you only have 7.5k followers?? Subbed. Great content!
Great support and very well put together!
i think the main reason is how sensitive the function of an NFL locker room is and how risky it would be to bring a UA-cam channel with millions of followers into it…. adds an extra spotlight no NFL team has ever had
Micheal Pittman has a channel, even tho it's with his girlfriend
Yeah but even then I'm seeing more and more UA-cam channels from athletes over time, so that problem is fading out.
Bruh the fastest player in the NFL has one. Cheetah Tyreek hill has a UA-cam channel so no that's not why
@@stopthehate1942 way different his channel doesn’t bring any drama
There are an abundance of kickers kicking their entire hs and college career in live game situations fighting for these 60 spots. You are all fucking delusional not understanding how good these few players in the league are compared to even college players that didn't make it.
Damm destroying killed that practice no lie .. Give the man a chance sheesh 🔥🔥🔥
Nah
NOBODY has had the balls until Destroying did it, all the future generations will owe him a paycheck.
Nah
This was a great vid
My boy dee paving a way for young men who need a platform them 1v1s for the bread are entertainin asf even tho ima nba basketball fan them 1v1 he and coach otb host are fire
Great video cant wait when you hit 100k subs
It's crazy he lost his scholarship due to UA-cam, now college athletes can make money by just being in a milk commercial 🤦🏾♂️
Because he really doesn’t want to be in the NFL. He gets way more “attention” which he wants, and makes more money from controversy and UA-cam than he would if he was playing... and, that’s his right.
No… If he was a good NFL kicker he would make far more doing that… In one year he could make his entire net worth if he was legit. Mason Crosby has made 41 million in his career not counting and endorsements.
I never asked that question. Hope he just keeps making videos.
ik if he got signed i would actually have a favorite team bc i love his personality. i can’t relate to any players atm. idk how to explain it. i think he should get signed. he’s good and fast soooo like 🤔🤔
Kickers don’t need to be fast he was good enough to play collage but not good enough to make a nfl team at most he’s a practice squad talent bud
Why not tell the entire story? The NCAA ruled he could continue with his YT channel as long as he didn’t film or make money off of the schools name.
That was the only rule they gave him and he lied about it and said they made him choose.
Poor research and misinformation
Dude probably got cut from the team when the next group of kickers came from the next recruiting class. He never even attempted a FG. And only attempted 1 PAT. Anyone talking about the NFL is fooling themselves. Dude couldn’t even make the CFL. If he was even good enough to be a decent NFL kicker the CFL would be all over him regardless of antics. He has no shot because he isn’t good enough or honestly even close to good enough.
@@adamdodds144 people are just on his nutz. 90% of these comments are teens and people that don't know what their talking about.
Actually YOU don’t know what you’re talking about!!!!
@@brandonadams2283 Philip DeFranco already exposed him
Imagine calling soccer players unathletic 😂
Ignorance for the sake of making a joke is what that was.
He said; “Unathletic, socccer players” not soccer players are unathletic
HES GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY RECEIVER AND KICKER IN THE NFL?!?!? THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE.
He's fast for a kicker but not for a wr, check every 5'9" 170 pound receiver in the NFL and the only way they make it is being at sub 4.45 speed often sub 4.4.
@@fiddynutz68 you're right. he's sub par as a wide out and is nothing special. clones of him get cut from every team ever preseason
Deestroying just got y’all a subscription and like😆😆 💯
Thank you for bringing up Morten Andersen im from Denmark and hes a Big inspiration to me cause he is from Denmark love your vids
He’s not in the NFL because his skill set isn’t at a high enough level to be in the NFL. If it was, he’d be in the NFL.
Love this dude and wish him the best in life 💯🔥❤️
"He's not good enough."
That's it.
Exactly
He could play in the European League of Football for a year and show people how consistent he is.. also could create some youtube content while living in Europe.
As a Argos fan i would’ve loved to go out and watch one of my favourite UA-camrs, sad how it turned out
I think you played this guy up a few notches from what he actually was. I mean he had some pretty entertaining videos etc. But the reality is he wasn't a top notch football player in any position. Like, he played at UCF for 2 years and wasn't even the number 1 kicker... He couldn't make it in the CFL which isn't quite NFL talent heavy. I honestly never expected him to make it in the NFL, I'm surprised anyone for real would have.
“unathletic soccer player” those words don’t add up
Lmao he’s not good enough 😂 stop it. 0 FG attempts in 2 years in college. He was never hittin the league. He was smart to take the YT route and subs he got from the NCAA making him pick.
Cap
@@jeffsmith-jd6ym facts, but go ahead and be suckered into thinking he was. That’s his core audience is you fools 😂
the sad truth
Facts, if the guy was good enough, he would be on a team.
I love how many times the guy in this video says Argonauts like he’s never heard the word before. It’s the type of respect they deserve.😂
College used to have a problem with athletes making money while enrolled in the school. Now there’s NIL deals over a million dollars, recruiting trips, scholarships and other sweeteners that cost about half a million. The NCAA punished this guy, then 10 years later they say have at it kid, go make that money.
I don’t think he should be in the NFL simply because his leg isn’t strong enough, and he’s not consistent enough to compete with others for their jobs. If he was able to play, he’d be on a roster. He’s had a CFL preseason and struggled there too.
It’s cuz he’s too “bling” they think he would cause a trouble in the locker room. NFL teams hate it, they hate social butterflies unless you’re very very good but he hasn’t shown it yet due to lack of opportunity.
yet juju will make tiktoks on other teams home turf and its ok now. the NFL is such a fucking joke for "Trouble" in the locker room that teams understand making some youtube vids for some content
@@ubuntu_ll9387 you can’t compare juju and a UA-cam man come don’t forget when juju had almost 1500 yards at 21
No it’s because he isn’t anywhere near good enough
Bengals need a good kicker
@@itzmyt1256 lots of ppl need a kicker but no one will sign D cuz his persona and fan base
vikings need him the most lmao
I Love D but not sure they are trying to keep him out. He did not make it in the CFL, so why would he be able to kick in the NFL?
did you watch the video???? he "didn't make it" because they used him for clout
@@teccastar know all about it been following D for years. They also had no need to use him for kicking.
@@teccastar it was also said that only a certain amount of Americans are allowed to make the roster on each CFL team and that they didn't want to waste one of those American roster spots on a Kicker.
@@teccastar if he was good enough they would’ve kept him but he wasn’t
@@teccastar okay let’s be completely transparent, how else was he going to get on a team? He kicks in a controlled environment and his only track record is 1 extra point his freshmen year and 0 meaningful points in his sophomore year. His clout was going to be the single only thing that would get him on a team
Me: touch grass Burger King: touch burger
this dude needs to be in the NFL NOW! right on Kansas city
This was a bad ass video .. you deserve more subs 💯
Imagine how many and what kind of trick plays teams could run with him 🥵I would wanna see him on the new chargers team
He's not in the NFL because there are PLENTY of better options... Saved ya 8 minutes. If the NFL "needed" this guy, he'd be in the NFL.
Man the NFL missed out on him. This man done bossed up and brought awhole damn team💯
Argo-nauts 😂 old video just came across this the way your argonauts is hilarious
NFL teams don’t really have anything to lose giving him at least a training camp spot to see if he can play at an NFL level
Bro he couldn't kick for shit playing canadian football... u all r delusional
U guys acting like ucf is a football powerhouse. Like this guy was kicking for UF
Bro was doing kickoffs for ucf lmao not even extra points I could do a mf kickoff
He missed a 20 yard field goal in the cfl preseason
So...I'm confused as how he did well at the combine and didn't make it?
That wasn’t the combine
A kickoff specialist.......He can't even beat out CFL kickers for the starting job lol. NFL kickers need to actually kick FGs
The BC Lions found a soccer player from japan who was better than this guy
Who’s here after he signed with Faze?
Fight to succeed my man 🔥🔥🔥
