He read on an elementary school level when arriving at UGA....he left to be drafted because of it. He was extremely good, but wasn't coachable. I actually feel really bad for the kid...he could have been a great one with the right guidance. Victim of coming from a small town that didn't push academics AT ALL! If he'd been from Ohio he'd be playing today at a high level.
I knew Trent and his brothers when he was in high-school he came in the barbershop I worked at. I cut him a few times over his tenure with UGA. Injuries really messed him up. He was recruited by Richt when Kirby smart came he wasn't one of Kirbys guys. He kinda fell by the wayside. He still got some meaningful snaps, even played in the National championship against Alabama in 2018. He just left a year to early and never fully developed as a pro player. Dude is a good guy humble, and Wasn't addicted to pain pills. Only drug he did was weed from time to time. Hate that narrative was put out. He definitely hated school. Wasn't one of his strengths. Some guys just don't make it to the big league. That's what happens when people tell you your whole life you are going to the league and when it doesn't happen you feel lost. Prime example of letting kids enjoy being kids and not putting so much pressure on them to be great at 16 and 17 where they don't put the emphasis on education like they should and don't have a plan for life after ball...
I thought the story sounded like a possible critical blood sugar (diabetes or the reverse) issue and thought jumping to drugs was wrong as well. And it’s a wonder all these guys aren’t on pills the way they’re made available to keep them playing. Thanks for jumping in.
@d.l.d.l.8140 Seriously, they give it away like candy. Crazy cause he obviously took pain medication, but they never mentioned that he had a prescription for the same meds found in his system.
Happens to most high school athletes. Most young athletes are only better when they're young because they're just so much bigger, faster and stronger than everyone else. Once they get older and are playing with guys that are just as physically strong but also have exceptional talent, they can't keep up anymore.
Former Arkansas QB Matt Jones drafted in first round as a WR with similar size and athleticism as Megatron. Urban Meyer was quoted as saying he was the best player in the SEC his last 2 years.
Omg. As a long suffering Jaguars fan , this comment triggered my PTSD. Matt Jones being picked by Jaguars with Aaron Rodgers still on the board!!! Matt Jones was a project that was projected to be a 3rd or 4th rounder.
@@LILBIGMAN03 That seemed kinda like a bad move to me at that time.Being switched to wideout in the NFL is a different beast.This is coming from a dolphins fan born and raised in FL.
also trenton thompson was withdrawling badly.he wasnt on the drugs he was coming off the drugs.. when youre high you are not uncomfortable or out of it. when you come off of, youre def not yourself.. spent some time addicted myself. 10 years sober from that mess
You were asking for info on the IFL and the Vegas Knight Hawks. I’m the Team Photographer for a team in the league, the Iowa Barnstormers. This is where Kurt Warner played when he was getting into the NFL. Basically the league has been around for a long time, but as always, but always switching names throughout the years. One time it was the CIFL then the IFL then they merged with the AFL but changed. They had 3 guys signed to NFL rosters during the spring, and have plenty of talent in the league so it’s fun to be apart of
Blows my mind that Thompson actually scored 101 on 247’s scale to 100. How does this happen, I would be less surprised to see a player with a 0 grade!!
Brian Burghdorf, former Alabama Quarterback and Sugar Bowl MVP for beating Florida 24-10 by running for one TD and threw for two more TDs. My suggestion Matt.
I remember when Matt was calling in 100k subs every single video and now he's pushing 320k... Manifesting and speaking things into existence is real... Congratulations and as always dope video!
hey matt! you should do a follow up video on zion harmon! a lot of these videos you’ve been making recently are about the fall off, but how about one about someone who fell off and is now actively trying to bounce back? just a suggestion and i love the videos man keep up the great work!
As an Alum this was sad and disappointing. I actually looked him up a few times after he left. And like you, was shocked when he entered the daft after three years! Hope he’s doing well wherever he is!!
I thought this same thing. I know some people are like "well people prescribe them so they can't be too bad" but it is. They're horrible and stolen many lives
Arch Manning getting roasted for not opting in to the college football game I understand why to we need video on that Matt seems like arch manning think he to good for the game making it seem like he is focused on football not the game when it takes two minutes to literally opt in on your phone guess he is worried about hurting the manning name as a second stringer on texas football team
If I'm not mistaken the Edmonton Eskimos have won 14 Gey Cups, the Canadian equivalent of the SuperBowl. Warren Moon started his pro career there after not being drafted into the NFL and won 5 Grey Cups before he signed with the Houston Oilers.
The Canadian Football League is very old and very honored. They have 12 men on the field and only three downs. There's no such thing as a fair catch. The field is wider, 110 yards long, and the end zones are 25 yards deep. You get one point for punting the ball beyond the end line. They have a limit on the number of imported players you can have on a team and a lot of the Canadians are linemen so you need to really show something to make the team. Maryland uses a lot of non-qualifying players after they put some years getting their academics together in junior college or FCS schools. This young man needed to go to an FCS School. Edmonton is an oil producing city. It's large considering how cold it is. They have the world's largest indoor mall and you can watch the Edmonton Oilers practice from within the mall. Wayne Gretzky played most of his NHL career for the Edmonton Oilers.
I admire and appreciate the hard work of putting these videos together and the time it takes to do so. But can do without the baby talk in every video lmao😂
Can you imagine the expectations being 16-17yrs. old grading a 101 and everyone telling you that you were gonna be the best to ever play the position? I feel bad for the kid!
The sad thing is there are approximately 3,000 athletes across the country and only 1% of them will play collegiately or professionally and this young man just fell through the cracks because he was not cut out to play on the next level is all. Got to have the right mindset as well as athleticism combined! It is sad to watch him wash out according to your assessment it is not uncommon to see it happen nonetheless!
I played against Indomican Sue in high school…. I do not remember how bad we lost but I do remember the hype surrounding him. We were from small town Forest Grove Oregon and before the game everyone was telling us the next great NFL player was on the other team…. Facts were true absolutely killed our QB
Let's get a Noel Devine or Steve Slaton video. Anyone who played NCCA football 2006 should be familar with Slaton and Pat White cause they were the cheat code. And Noel Devine was a big time recuit and electric in college. They build that WVU program and both phizzeled out as Pros. Slaton had a couple got years with the Texans but Noel Devine did nothing as a Pro. Both were also apart of your buddy, Pat McAfee's, WVU team...lol.
K2 was bad back then plus everyone was smoking it trying not to get caught smoking weed in college.. it took over him bad .. I played arena 🏈 with him .. great video but sad story because K2 really took his mind
You said the name wrong first. And Edmonton is like the Boston Celtics of the CFL. Warren Moon played there and they won multiple championships. So I ask how much do you really know about football? Not much it seems.
As a BC Lions fan, I can tell you that Edmonton sucks. Also they had to change their name to the Edmonton Elks because somebody(nobody) thinks "Eskimos" was too offensive.
I know there was this one good qb at Stanford a while back we I was little and I think he was a year or two ahead of CMC. He did pretty good in college so if u might want to make a vid on him and if it would be interesting at all id be pumped to see it.
Matt , I grew up in west Alabama, Gordo, I remember watching Wayne Davis and when his son came along and was playing for Gordo and he was BMOC , was a 5star recruit, but never lived up to his potential, what was going on with Ben , he had all the measurables but just never made the grade with Coach Saban and ended up transferring to another school. I really thought he would be a very good player, so what was his issue, he had the size and speed and had a good blood line, so I was really confused about this young man and not ever growing and making a great football player, very confused and disappointed, do you have any information on him and his problems? RTR!
Sure hope it wasn’t a blood sugar issue. That would be a possible explanation for what I heard, including the declining production. When you can’t go %100 in practice your physical advantage is gone and you’re lucky to be able to play professionally at any level. The larger question is where that large Canadian city I’ve never heard of came from.🧐
Pain killers are a SERIOUS drug, that kids think aren't that big of a deal. They are basically heroin in a pill. Not exactly the same but both opiates.
1. Valor does not rhyme with Baylor... need that short a sound on Valor. 2. Edmonton...here's a few ways to think about it. Ed-munn-tunn or ed-mun-ton (ton like in weight) Reminds me of Key and Peele substitute sketch.
The way you pronounced Ed-Mon-ton had me rolling. Most people pronounce it Ed-Men-ten just fyi, but great video.
its not that weird of a name, Edmonton Oilers - Wayne Gretzky
I was just bout to school Matt 😂 Ed-Mon-ton 😂
Maybe in Canada, not here in America. 😂🤣😂
Some people r just so dumb
How tf has this dude not heard of Edmonton
He read on an elementary school level when arriving at UGA....he left to be drafted because of it. He was extremely good, but wasn't coachable. I actually feel really bad for the kid...he could have been a great one with the right guidance. Victim of coming from a small town that didn't push academics AT ALL! If he'd been from Ohio he'd be playing today at a high level.
Fact
The south has this bad. I’ve seen it too! Shine all through high school then handicap at the next level
Not true! He wouldn't have made it to UGA.....O' I'm from Ohio a top 50 player in "86"
I knew Trent and his brothers when he was in high-school he came in the barbershop I worked at. I cut him a few times over his tenure with UGA. Injuries really messed him up.

Do Jake Coker, He played for FSU and Alabama and won the nati with bama
Story isn't worth it.

@mikeywilliamsracing5245 he transferred to Bama after not playing at FSU and won a national championship. After that, just had a regular life after.

"Maybe it was JUST some pain pills"? Bro, addictions to pain pills will cripple your life. COMPLETELY CRIPPLE YOUR LIFE.

NEVER HEARD OF THE ED MOUTON ESKIMOS.
EDMONTON.. YES.
Your videos are great! The way you pronounce stuff is even more entertaining...lol
Matt loving these story videos. Can you do these videos on basketball players
You do excellent videos.

MATT YOU BETTER MAKE A STORY ABOUT MATT BEFORE NEXT FOOTBALL SZN
DO A VIDEO ON WISCONSIN LEGEND RON DAYNE. He was a beast in college
Seems to me a fellow by the name of Gretzky had quite a career in Ed-Mon-ton. Rumor has it there were 4 Stanley Cup wins
Judging by his tweets and the mastery of the English language, I’d say Trenton has a bright future as an English professor.
The sad thing is there are approximately 3,000 athletes across the country and only 1% of them will play collegiately or professionally and this young man just fell through the cracks because he was not cut out to play on the next level is all.

this my city man you need too look into more people down here it’s a lot of talent that get unnoticed 💯
Yea but are any of them educated? that's an obstacle apparently for that area.

warren moom played for that team the edmontan eskimos
Sad when full potential isn't met, regardless of the situation.
Cecil “The Diesel” Collins. Former LSU RB. Sad story with a good ending.
"Rap battle" is code for throwing hands.
Dylan Moses next🙌🏽
Suffered two big knee injuries and wasn't the same after that. Knee cartilage was completely destroyed.
Matt do your background story at 1 million!!! That would be a great video and that everyone will watch!!
You country mf Matt…”EdMUNTun” 😂😂😂…Bro took an extremely normal name and extra’d it all the way out 🤣🤣🤣…got a good laugh out of that one, good shit

No kidding. The guy has 3 different intros. Bugged me

shoutout alabama publiic schools for giving us the gift of you pronouncing Edmonton
Please do isaiah Wilson if you can.
I’m from vegas and I’ve never heard of the knight hawks.
You can pronounce Saskatchewan, but you cannot pronounce Edmonton ?
Let’s hit mean let’s fight lol
I totally forgot about trenton Thompson til now
The truth is he was smoking K2.. it was bad too.. just a little information
K2 was bad back then plus everyone was smoking it trying not to get caught smoking weed in college.. it took over him bad .. I played arena 🏈 with him .. great video but sad story because K2 really took his mind
Baseball 10000 percent takes time to readjust also. Whether you’re hitting or pitching….

Sounds like some kind of mental health issue (s), maybe even CTE?
I thought he was gonna redeem himself the 2nd time he said Edmonton , but alas😂
I rip what I rhyme and i rhyme what i rip. This is the way that trenton Thompson spits.
The Edmonton pronunciation 😂😂
Word hes from my hometown. 229 made it lol. But lets rap and hit is Albany slang for "throwing hands".
Mat, some pretty good quterbacks came from the Canadian league into the NFL. Joe Theismann and Warren Moon.
Doug flutie
@@GeeDee-yj7ydFlutie didn’t start in the CFL.
2 in the last 50 years. And only one wasn’t drafted by the NFL.

Decent video but i didn't think valor or Edmonton was hard to pronounce.you'd think a sports fan would have heard of Edmonton.
Have you done a story on rae caruth or brook berringer?

What ever happened to db Antonio Render of Ga. or rb Tony VanZant in Mo.
