And now he scored a TD against the Seahawks. What a Guy
😂🇩🇪🦾
Don't be fooled by that picture of "Stuttgart", actual Stuttgart is a big city
Was haben sie denn da für ein Dorf gezeigt :D Stuttgart war das nicht :D
Stimmt
That's true, the city Stuttgart has 634.000 Residents, the region Stuttgart has 2,4 million
Nur der KSC
Stuttgart ist doch auch ein Dorf - Grüße aus Berlin :P
Trainer: You gotta be here at 7am on Monday
Jakob: Im German, I already ate breakfast at 6am 😂
@Easter Worshipper he is... 😂
Easter Worshipper he is from Stuttgart Germany. Look it up
Eating breakfast at 6am is one of the most german things ever 😂
Breakfast 6am
Lunch 12 o'clock
Coffee and sweets 3.00/3.30/4.00pm
Dinner 6pm
NO MORE EATING AFTER DINNER!
Easter Worshipper did you not watch the vid??
Super das einer aus Stuttgart in der NFL spielt!
It's so sad that he's on IR.
he had the best opportunity to show himself off with the pats starting fullback being out for the rest of the season too.
Ben Watson should step up
@@tancredbey606 didn't ben get released?
@@tancredbey606 I thought they got rid of Ben to make more room for their salary cap?
TheeGamer360 they just resigned him
And now the First German Offensive Touchdown ever in the NFL ! Lets Go Jakob , du hast es dir verdient ! Mach dein Land stolz !!!!
Pats nation is pulling for him. He seems like a class act and the type of person NE builds their team on. Focused on the game, smart, family man. We all wish you the best.
He may be on IR but damn what a motivated guy. I hope we keep him since Develin is getting old and he needs to learn from him also. Patriots cant perform well without a FB.
We are undefeated, don't try to sound dumb ok.
@@HarleyQuinKills how did that sound dumb? We like using fullbacks and Bill likes utilizing every position. Develin came in clutch last year. But hey I'm liking how everything is going besides the Josh Gordon ordeal
HarleyQuinKills that comment aged terribly lmao
@@HonDannysVlogs apparently he got re-signed so congrats too him if this is true
@@HonDannysVlogs is he still on the team? I know he went to IR. Haven't heard much since.
You know how hard you have to work to impress Bill? Let that sink in!
I am from Germany as well. Good to see he was able to pursue his passion. The Patriots is not an easy team to be a part off. Congratulations and wish him continued success.
he is a major component to our offense this year. love to have him. hopefully he has as long of a career as develin because that would be awesome
That was awesome happy for that guy
We love our fullbacks in New England, welcome! I hope he gets healthy and wrecks the league with Tom
Stidham's gonna need him. I really hope he becomes the starter fullback
Great things happen to those who wait!!!
Hard work always pays off. Glückwunsch!
VFL!! So proud of this guy! Keep pounding! ✊🏼🧡
As a German I am proud of this Video
Now he’s a stud
I didn't know this guys story he is a cool dude and I will be watching for him.
If Pulisic can go from Hershey, PA to Dortmund, why can’t he go from Stuttgart to Foxboro.
Incredible
Hope he does well
so sad he just got his opportunity to shine and is now on the IR. I think he can come back next year and carve out a role on the team im definitely rooting for him. go pats!
MORE, MORE, MORE of these stories!
Ay why we both watching this rn
Man gönnt es ihm so von Herzen...
Die harte Arbeit, die sich dann am Ende auszahlt.
I’m happy for Jakob! Since I’m a Vols fan
Hopefully he gets a chance to play before they cut him
Those pictures of Stuttgart lol - inaccurate
Ryan tons of porsches and mercedes all in one giant traffic jam would be more accurate
Accurate representation of their football teams strength🤷🏻♂
@@dieFliegenklatsche Very true.
Yeah... seriously, that was just stupid footage. Stuttgart is about the size of Boston people-wise
Touchdown Jakob Johnson!!!
The story about Jacob is really wonderful. Also he could play active games this season is fantastic. Too bad he is on the IR list because of a shoulder injury.
I wish him all the best for the future, never stop dreaming!
My boy Jakob from U.T
Klasse für ihn.
I’m rooting for him 100%. He showed promise before he got injured last season. I hope he takes over where Develin left off
A year later: Hope fullfilled;) 👊🏻💪🏻
Jakob alles Gute
We like him in New England. Plays hard
looking forward to you as a raider.
what a story i like his game sad he's on IR
I was an army brat and was born kaiserslaughter Germany and my brother was born in Brussels Belgium so I've been all over now I'm living my life and goals in Pennsylvania and it's not football but u can go where ever you want trust that
I lived in Stuttgart and went to nearly all games last season
way to go
He'll make it to the Pro Bowl one day (commented Nov.18, 2020; Stats up to Week 10: 7 catches, 34 yards, 1 TD, and numerous quality blocks). In Week 10 vs BAL he was on the field on 60% of all offensive snaps. German media attention has been rocketing since Week 1.
And now he's gonna be a super bowl champ. Amazing.
Who also came here after his first Touchdown?
belicheck j probably likes that he can play all 3 parts of the game
alden koskoff all three phases* 😂
With FB Danny Vitale opting out this year, opportunity is knocking on Jacob's door.
I’m in the video during the signing part
Cool name.....
0711❤
Klasse Jung. Grüße aus der Heimat
I think 56 nights crazy
So sad that he is on IR now. Would love to see him in a Super Bowl to represent Germany and the pats. LFG Pats👍🏻👍🏻
He attended ribault high school in Jacksonville fL I was a student there why wasn’t that added in the story
R A I D E R S‼️‼️‼️💯
Is it me or they speak really good English like it took me a while to find out that him and his family have accents
Soccer, swimming, ice hockey, basketball....”Boring.” I feel this dude...football just more better
Could make a great DE !
DelixFN he’s got the build of a linebacker and a fullback. Not a DE.
Not tall enough to play DE out of nowhere, maybe OLB
Didn't know Tennessee travels all the way to Germany to recruit players.
😁😁😁
Lot of schools are doing it. I go to Towson and we have multiple European players who are significant contributors. Talent can be found anywhere, all they need is a chance.
Its still not working out for Tennessee
Football is becoming very popular in Germany, it has been for awhile, excited to see what kind of players we can bring over
@@mrbill806 well the third german soccer leaque (so basically the minors of the minors, if we look at us sports) still makes more revenue than all other sports combined (excluding of course second and first german soccer leaque) so yes, football becoming more popular but it is still tiny tiny tiny
Lol they didn’t he went to high school in the US
College players should definitely get paid.
Stuggi City. FK10, now JJ47!
Forget about Porsche and Daimler 😂
I swear I watched 1p if these even though only 4 pass
He had a huge advantage over Valentine Holmes and Christian Wade. Holmes and Wade come from Rugby only. Starting in college for the Volunteers is somewhat like playing in the NFL.
Welcome to the Raiders bro
Until he hurt his shoulder again
He played at one of the best Colleges in the US... from that point he should not be claimed as something more special as any other nfl Player
Hans Müller yes and no. He grew up in Germany. That’s where he’s from. Tennessee helped but they’re not who made him. That’s coming from a huge tennessee fan and alumna.
#VFL
ANDDDDDDD he's on IR
Half the Patriots roster is on IR!!!!
Now he’s catching td’s
Jakobs a beast but how did he get to go through the International Pathway if he went to US College?
Cause he is German, born an raised
..and he wasn't chosen in the draft.
And I think his father is an African American from Jacksonville, can he considered American? I also wonder how he qualifies.
Damian Müller-Nordhorn yeah but since he went to a US college he had the chance to be drafted unlike the other International players
@@SupaTraxHD
Seems like the only limitation seems to be you have to be not a US citizen.
.. Maybe not a citizen of any country but of countries of business interest for the NFL.
Moritz Böhringer actually WAS drafted DESPITE NOT having studied in the US.
Stuttgart is the home of Porsche..porscheh not porsh.
Junge, watt?
@Brett Kozlak lol
God bless Jesus loves and has a plan for all have a blessed day
Stuttgart was not depicted very accurately smh.
💋👁️
💋👁
👁💋
Cte is incoming
hendrix First one wtf dude? 😒
too bad james develin exists
nckhrt yeah but he’s 31 and have a serious neck injury......there’s a little chance he couldn’t comeback to play FB.....
We don't have High School in Germany. Its called ABITUR because we have a FREE Education :)
Highschool IS free
@@sokyui Studying here is free too. A lot of Americans use that
Devlin is still BETTER.
He needs to cut his hair.....
DCM or not...? 😒
He isn't a real German
and Podolski and Klose also?
@@FrankCastle12679 Those are ethnic Polish individuals.
@@Hybridswimmer and Johnson is?
@@FrankCastle12679 Your confusing yourself buddy
Frank79C basically he is saying Jakobs not white... smh
