to be fair he has access to physical therapists and rehab that most people don't. Living an active and fit lifestyle can also prevent injury and promote recovery. I get what you mean tho, dude seems awesome.
Yeah I was thinking about this. Can't tell if it's brave or stupid but there is no question that this dude embodies the best that skateboarding has to offer. I hope his path stays clear.
This is just gorgeous. His words on skateboarding and how it molded him as a young kid and taught him so many life lessons throughout his adolescence is so beautifully said. This is beyond inspiring. It’s so crazy how my love for skateboarding hasn’t ever dwindled even a little bit, I’m 32 years old and after 20+ years on a board, I still find myself skating 2-3 days a week with my ridiculously busy schedule. It’s a necessity and blessing for me daily. The day will come when I’ll be too old to throw myself down a gap or stairs, but I’ll be damned if I won’t be bombing hills or thrashing bowls till I’m 60-70. Lord willing. Xoxoxo to skateboarding; till death do us part...
His vert at the combine was 35" so not outrageous but pretty good for a compact dude. If he had actually popped and caught that kickflip as high as he jumped it would have been really impressive.
Tee Jay dude 35 inches is still really insane for someone built like he is. People are too used to seeing wide receivers with insane 40 inch verts as well NBA players.
i was a goalie for 3 years in high school and one day my coach told me i needed to stop skating and focus on goalkeeping. i never showed up for another practice after that
@@idontdeserveaname1152 well, he was a skater before he played football. He said himself, football is stressful, skating is a stress reliever. Sorry, that your small brain only sees money. If you think someone's job defines who they are, then you're actually braindead. But you've already proven to be braindead.
arj. First of all you took my comment way to serious lmao. Secondly if you were to like drawing but you went to the NBA does the world see you as a artist or a basketball player you dumb fuck
Lol no, just because he’s a famous NFL player doesn’t mean he deserves a sponsorship over others who are much more talented at skating hahaha dumbest idea I’ve ever heard
The feeling you get when you land something on a skateboard for the first time or do something nuts and all your boys / spectators do the OOOOOOOHHHH. Its one of the best feelings ever and those memories can last a lifetime. Its probably hard for a person who has never skated to appreciate the feeling. Skating is different.
Weird living a split life between football/skating but I really thank this man for making me feel confident enough to live in the middle of both lifestyles
The average person has NO CLUE just how difficult it is to play in the NFL or to skate. At this level...this is incredibly impressive. Almost on the level of Bo Jackson, I said almost, don’t freak out.
But Bo never skated, so what does he reeeeeally know? One ball sport migration to another isn't that great a feat. This guy right here is even more of a crossover master with skateboarding and football, and decent at both. Skating just blows ball chasing outta the water period all on its own tbh
@@bigpapa9412 Bo jackson was an ALL STAR in two professional sports. While this guy went pro, and is a good skater, to compare him to a 2-sport all-star is just not accurate
I've seen this before, I really respect everything this guy is doing. Staying healthy and living a positive life. I really hope he's able to continue his career and skating injury free.
That's beautiful, man. I'm not a huge football fan, but I'll definitely be rooting for you. I also appreciate your desire to bring more skating resources to the inner city. Thank you, brother!
@kixpercy nah there are people i know 10 years in and cant kickflip. I'm sure there are much more people in the comments that know a few people like that. And it's not just about the kickflip, its about the speed pop and style you doing it with.
One of the most wholesome videos I've ever seen... Love what you wanna love. Makes me jealous as my self-discipline is practically non-existent! Thanks for the upload!
You have a Carolina panther picture so I'm sure you're not from knoxville nor do you live in knoxville I'm a grown man I don't need to lie about who I've been skating with 💯 you wouldn't believe who I've skated with!
Good video. Gotta love the like/dislike ratio. The guy has a great vibe and mindset. The Rams are pretty set at running back so I hope he's able to keep his position because he seems like a good dude.
This is one of few videos on UA-cam with such a low ratio of dislikes. It warms my heart to see, even though he doesn't have the most impressive bag of tricks, everybody still has admiration for who is he and what he does. Not a single negative comment that I can see.
@@GR33TINGSEARTHL1NGS Yeah it's great, you can tell he really loves the sport and wants it grow. Even if it was a bad video I would've liked since it combines my two favorite sports but it exceeded my expectations.
i dont know how im just now seeing this, i LOVE this guy. he seems so genuine and about his community, and he seems truly excited to be at the Berrics. this guy definitely earned a new fan!! major respects to how chill he is
He seems like a reasonably intelligent guy so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. That said, most players contracts say they can't skate or ski or even ride motorcycles and even if that's not the case with him, I wouldn't be filming it. Still, cool video, cool guy, he rips.
That’s pretty obvious though. Doing a technical flip trick into a grind on a ledge is going to be much harder than catching a football and running with it
@@ashmyblunt my guy its way more then that, especially when you're going up against other superstars who are the best in the world at stopping people from catching and running with the ball
I’ve watched this video multiple times and it gets more relatable each time. I started skating at 9 but I was never too consistent because I played multiple other sports and I am black kid that lives in the hood in NYC. Whenever I skate Im always by myself and feel like an outcast. Skating has taught me so much that I can translate into other sports that I play like Football and Soccer.
I have so much respect for this guy, and the fact that he says skating takes a lot of time and practice, everything about him seems like chill and cool dude
It just shows how many "hidden" skaters we have in society. There are plenty of "sleepers" out there who used to skate and occasionally pick up the board for a few sessions here and there. Many of them (including myself) watch skateboarding videos on a regular basis and can't resist the urge to pick the board up again after enough inspiration from the established skaters. You don't choose skateboarding, skateboarding chooses you!
I agree, i am in high school, and literally nobody knows I skate, not even my friends. I skate with people that don't go to my school. I just never really thought about mentioning it to people. Their are skaters at my school but they aren't that good, and on the last day of my senior year I have decided I'm going to do a backside flip off the 7 stair in the front of my school (I'm super consistent at them). I hope that it shakes some people up haha
Utmost respect for this dude. Guitar playing was what made me take breaks from skating (especially shattering my wrist) but it really goes to show, once a skater, always a skater.
I'm a typically naive British NFL fan who doesn't know anything about the sport but last year decided the LA Rams were my team. I now have my favorite player lol! :P
Loved watching John play while he was at Tennessee. His balance during contact was a thing of beauty. During his jr year I read that he was a skater and the incredible balance completely made sense. This video was amazing, great to see a professional athlete geek out about their hobbies from their childhood
hes a pro football player, not a pro skater. If you even skate, I bet you're a real fun time..shitting on other people having fun being decent at a sport 99% of participants don't compete in. Upload a video of you banging out the basic tricks this cat did and then go make the NFL draft.
Mike Manz no he wasn’t, you misunderstood his comment cause that’s not what he’s saying, he’s saying other people who would claim they’re a skater wouldn’t be able to do rails or land a kick flip, but the guy in the video can actually skate he’s not just posing
@@va4114 dude whatever. Im saying my dude in the video is killing it as a skater even tho he's a pro football player. Not to mention you're responding to a month old comment. Do you personally know the user that I responded to? Don't think so. Why are you defending this random pretty fucking sarcastic comment and giving me shit for saying the skater in the vid is a badass?
This was me with soccer, college ball and everything but in my free time it's always skating. The vibes and experience you get from skating is something else man.
Let's all just take a moment to appreciate his raw athleticism... As difficult as he says skating is (which it is) I imagine he can put his hands (or feet) on almost anything and be good at it, total control over his body and incredible spatial awareness all on display in this 5 min vid. Just awesome.
@@aujew I'm not a rams fan, I don't even watch NFL, I just looked up who he plays for... replace "my guy" with "dude" and you'll get the drift of what I meant. I think it's sad that he probably won't be allowed to skate, but they're gonna shut it down real quick, just like if another sports prospect/rookie wanted to fight MMA on the side, they just won't allow it
Gil Gosseyn I see. Mma guys get away with shit all the time. Look at Luke rockhold who skated and had an embedded series about skating. Look at Cerrone who does all sorts of extreme sports.
@@aujew true never thought about that.... I guess (at least UFC) Dana White just doesn't care or else those guys are just such a different breed that they'll just do whatever they want anyway lol
As a Tennessee fan, this warms my heart. John Kelly was one of our greatest running backs in the past decade and his skating was a common talking point among fans. Everyone said he was really good at it, but I never saw any footage. It’s so awesome to see people admiring his talents. Watch Kelly’s 2017 highlights. It’s a shame he was on such a bad team, he deserved better. He single handily whooped Florida and we still lost. He will always have my respect.
@@spLiffyFOUR20 Tk is a fucking joke. Most overrated skateboarder i've ever seen. He also stupid too. He diss people on instagram and get involved in some type of gang shit. He does a simple Bs crook and post on ig.
Hahaha Aaron Lobato this comment may be the most ridiculous and stupidest thing I’ve seen in months. Better than TK? This guy is good and his love for skateboarding is beyond epic, but TK is NOT overrated for even a little bit! I get that you don’t like the guy, to which I can agree a little bit and say he isn’t my favorite skater, but TK fucking rips and is far from overrated. Plus, Andrew Reynolds doesn’t add or ask just “anyone” to join his team and sponsor overrated people. This comment simply shows how little you actually know about skateboarding, and I feel bad for you .
Yo this man can afford boards. Instead Stevie should team up with him to help the skaters in Detroit and other places where it can help influence kids into something meaningful
I know the feeling. I plaid soccer (football as we call it in Europe) for 14 years. And plaid on elite level. Then I starter skating, and was hooked after a few months. Stopped playing soccer and been skating since! Keep pushing
I like this guy. He seems real down to earth and cool as all hell. I stoked for him and hope he gets all he can get from both football and skateboarding.
Damn man, this is fucking awesome. I love to see somebody with that much talent in 2 of my favorite sports. And he seems like a cool as dude. Keep it going brother
This shit is so good. As a kid that quit skateboarding the day summer camp started for my freshman season of high school football and didn’t pick it back up until I was 25, I relate and understand the love of both football and skating. I’m 45 now and still skate and love football so much.
Mark Perrine right dude I think it’s super cool that he skates and plays football but you’re right doubt he spent much time here by the way he pronounced it 😂
This dude seems genuinely cool and chill af, props to him
Yeah for real.
Mos def..humble ma fucca as well..chill dude
for real, I don't see how this could get any dislikes. that's a real skater right there.. mad respect
@@justin343wh yet he plays in the NFL so he's still better than 99% of football players.
This mates the definition of cool!
all it takes is a little ankle roll or an awkward fall to interfere with his nfl career, yet the risk is worth it to him. what a legend
to be fair he has access to physical therapists and rehab that most people don't. Living an active and fit lifestyle can also prevent injury and promote recovery. I get what you mean tho, dude seems awesome.
Yeah I was thinking about this. Can't tell if it's brave or stupid but there is no question that this dude embodies the best that skateboarding has to offer. I hope his path stays clear.
he can just as easily get injured playing football too, if he loves both let him go nuts

Love how the music makes it seem like he was skating with a major disability.. his only disadvantage is tripping on all that muscle.
Lol dude is yoked
if anything the muscle is protection lol id rather fall on solid strong muscle than weak flabby fat
I'm dead 💀
This is hella dope! Shout outs to John Kelly, you're dope man!
"Skating's definitely harder." Hear that? Glad skateboarding is finally starting to get the recognition it deserves.
✊🏽
Facts I couldn’t walk for two months cause this crazy shit happened and I got on the board after and could barely kickfilp
He laughed at that because he knows that it should be common sense. No comparison.
Why do you need it to get recognized? Can't you just skate without giving a shit what everyone else thinks of it?
I think Jonah Hill also said Skating is harder than acting.
Mad respect for this man, he got a true love for skating
Now this is the kinda shit I’m talking about berrics, nothing but RESPECT for John, keep pushin’
I don’t even watch football but I’ll root for his team cause how much he loves to skate
Get this man a sponsorship deal after or during his NFL career. It would be so awesome!
Or both
he’s sponsored by adidas for football so i’m sure adidas got him for skating
You guys need to STFU seriously this guy has 0 fucking chance he’s trash at both sports 🤣
I don't think he needs the help. Better to help out some AMs who actually intend to have a skate career.
Lol no, just because he’s a famous NFL player doesn’t mean he deserves a sponsorship over others who are much more talented at skating hahaha dumbest idea I’ve ever heard

"Football player cant get on a board and skate, but a skater can learn a route." Sure he's been humbled a few time by his board.

I think it's sad that he probably won't be allowed to skate, but they're gonna shut it down real quick, just like if another sports prospect/rookie wanted to fight MMA on the side, they just won't allow it
Gil Gosseyn I see. Mma guys get away with shit all the time. Look at Luke rockhold who skated and had an embedded series about skating. Look at Cerrone who does all sorts of extreme sports.
@@aujew true never thought about that.... I guess (at least UFC) Dana White just doesn't care or else those guys are just such a different breed that they'll just do whatever they want anyway lol
why does this warm my freakin heart?!!!! I LOVE SKATEBOARDING!
You’ve earned my respects bro! I’m 6’7 and I longboard a lot. People keep looking at me like an anomaly. Keep motivating the world ✌🏾
At 3:25 did he really just double heelflip and never looked down 🔥😎💯
No.. 😂
Dope seeing another football player admitting they love skating more. I always wished I was good at skating. Dope he admitted skating is harder
As a Tennessee fan, this warms my heart. John Kelly was one of our greatest running backs in the past decade and his skating was a common talking point among fans. Everyone said he was really good at it, but I never saw any footage. It’s so awesome to see people admiring his talents. Watch Kelly’s 2017 highlights. It’s a shame he was on such a bad team, he deserved better. He single handily whooped Florida and we still lost. He will always have my respect.
Dudes better than TK. He just became my favorite skater and football player.
Better then TK? You can't be serious.
@@spLiffyFOUR20 Tk is a fucking joke. Most overrated skateboarder i've ever seen. He also stupid too. He diss people on instagram and get involved in some type of gang shit. He does a simple Bs crook and post on ig.
I'm not about the hate on this thread, but this comment IS hilarious.
Hahaha Aaron Lobato this comment may be the most ridiculous and stupidest thing I’ve seen in months. Better than TK? This guy is good and his love for skateboarding is beyond epic, but TK is NOT overrated for even a little bit! I get that you don’t like the guy, to which I can agree a little bit and say he isn’t my favorite skater, but TK fucking rips and is far from overrated. Plus, Andrew Reynolds doesn’t add or ask just “anyone” to join his team and sponsor overrated people. This comment simply shows how little you actually know about skateboarding, and I feel bad for you .
Who's TK ?
This is so lit! Stevie Williams throw this man A DEAL! Give this man some boards!
Tyrusansan gt has l
Yo this man can afford boards. Instead Stevie should team up with him to help the skaters in Detroit and other places where it can help influence kids into something meaningful
I know the feeling. I plaid soccer (football as we call it in Europe) for 14 years. And plaid on elite level. Then I starter skating, and was hooked after a few months. Stopped playing soccer and been skating since! Keep pushing
Whoever disliked this didn’t really feels the vibes of the first few minutes let alone this video altogether.
The leagues gonna make him stop when they see this😂
I mean its cool as fk, but a bit irresponsible considering the limited pro-window these guys have
Fax
That did cross my mind
I don't think the league but more of the Rams.
He said his coaches already know about it. I’m sure they have some clauses in his contract where it puts limits on his skating
I like this guy. He seems real down to earth and cool as all hell. I stoked for him and hope he gets all he can get from both football and skateboarding.
Super dope. But id hate to have him on my team, always b worried about him breaking his ankle doin a kickflip haha
All backwards bro. Worry about pulling a hammy in a stupid game and it tanking the skate sesh later with the homies
Big Papa
Haha true eh
This was dope
this IS dope
Damn man, this is fucking awesome. I love to see somebody with that much talent in 2 of my favorite sports. And he seems like a cool as dude. Keep it going brother
It must be nice not to have to set a second mortgage on your house to replace your trucks😭😂 but fr, he seems really chill
No. He's a skater who is in the NFL.
This shit is so good.
As a kid that quit skateboarding the day summer camp started for my freshman season of high school football and didn’t pick it back up until I was 25, I relate and understand the love of both football and skating. I’m 45 now and still skate and love football so much.
Wait hold up I grew up in Joliet IL my mind is blown
Jolliet illinoise 🤣
Mark Perrine right dude I think it’s super cool that he skates and plays football but you’re right doubt he spent much time here by the way he pronounced it 😂
