For those of you who weren't around 4 years ago, I made a video similar to this if you want to check it out (none of the same stories featured here). ruclips.net/video/xunjJCyDQ2E/видео.html
Well at least the NFL sent him a fat check once he found out he was drafted 55 years earlier! Adjusted with inflation I believe they paid him a lump sum of 4.7 million dollars in 1996 I think it was. So... sure he missed out on potentially being an NFL legend.. but at least he got paid for it LOL
You can always choose god over money. But that doesn’t mean that isn’t the selfish decision. Maybe his kids lose faith, I’m sure they would’ve wished he went to make some of that money instead of being broke his entire life.
That Eli Herring story was wild. I'm Mormon, so it's pretty common practice for us to not even leave our house, except to go to church on Sunday. It's not very weird for me, but for all of y'all, it must seem strange, lol.
There was a joke around the mid to late 90s involving Charlie Ward when both the Jets and Giants QB situations were terrible that said the best QB in New York plays for the Knicks😄
Even though he never played college football Baseball Hall of Famer Dave Winfeld was drafted in the 17th round of the 1973 NFL Draft by his hometown team the Minnesota Vikings.
@@thetoptige8014 dude I didn't realize how stacked his accolades were until I looked him up. 3x 1st team all pro. 2x 2nd team all pro. 8x pro bowl. NFL 2000s all decade team. Antonio Gates is so underappreciated
I feel bad for that guy getting booed during what would usually be the happiest moment in someone's life Edit: I didn't mean any disrespect toward him I just felt bad for him
@@Vlandia0927 Lead them to multiple NFC championship games and a SuperBowl. Sure he lost, but it was to Tom Brady lol. Still, It sucks that they would boo a guy without seeing what he can do.
Also, since war didn't really give nearly as many benefits and he actually ENLISTED. He must've truly wanted to fight for his country. Thank you for your service king 👑
KTO, loved this video! Just watched a video on NFL RUclips yesterday about past drafts and I have to say this was just as, if not more, entertaining and knowledgeable! Get those 600K, man!
Great stories and keep up the strong work! I seriously thought the David McDaniels was story was gonna end in some sort of mistaken identity ending or with the real guy dying and some other dude taking his identity....Great twist
Yeah the Saints were goofy for that Ricky Williams trade. The worst part is that Washington just wasted all those picks. And even worse, the Bengals turned down even more to draft Akili Smith that year.
What's really crazy about Williams-for-the-draft is that it was completely unnecessary: with the Redskins having made pretty clear that they were taking Champ Bailey at 5, and the Rams at 6 obviously not taking a running back 24 hours after trading for Marshall Faulk, he still would've been available to the Saints at 7.
You play football as an O lineman for what 10 years if your really lucky? Dude could have played like 3 years and built all the missions his heart desired truth is the dude was just soft and knew he'd never make it in the NFL
Another good one KTO. I'm listening to this while working so it was kinda hard to pick up on verbal queues that you were moving on to the next story but other than that. learned a lot!
WOW ALMOST 600K. I've been here since the "why are the panther so bad" video. It's so awesome to go on the journey with you, you make the best videos on RUclips and I hope one day we can get you too one million
I know Eli Herring. He was my o-line coach in high school. I feel he made the right decision. He’s been able to have a great influence on myself and many others as a coach and teacher. He’s been a great example to me as a man and player. He’s also been a great example of a Christian by being a good man. Yes, he turned down a lot of money but he’s done a lot of good in other ways. One was influencing my life for good. I believe this choice was what God wanted him to do so he could bring a lot of good into many lives in other ways apart from being a pro athlete.
Ricky! My favorite Dolphin ever. I had a life-sized cardboard cutout of him in my room. Maybe not a Hall of Fame career, but the guy had Hall of Fame talent.
Looking back at the Eagles roster when McNabb was drafted, I can sort of understand why Eagles fans will get upset with the pick, though the boos was unwarranted. This was the year when Andy Reid first became the team's head coach, and the Eagles needed help in virtually every position. Obviously, when your team has so many holes in the lineup, you will take the best prospect available, but I think Reid saw something in McNabb that made him their pick instead of Ricky Williams. Hindsight is 20/20, but with the way the Eagles fans were jeering, you would think they missed out on a Hall of Famer caliber player (technically true, since Edgerrin James and Champ Bailey were still available, and both are enshrined in Canton as of 2021, but back then, who would have known).
Honestly surprised you didn't talk about the Colts vs Kiper feud in 1992 I think it was? Regardless, amazing video, and freaking LOL at Cedric Benson not wanting to be a Bear. Maybe that was why he wanted to be a Packer later XD
@@gavinpostich591 yes remember big mommas house? With Martin Lawrence? Jamie foxx? They tried doing it to dave Chappelle and he told them fuck off and got blackballed... Yea it really was common and honestly still kinda is to an extent...I think crossdressing, with racist intent or not, is just fucking stupid and plain not funny.
@@gavinpostich591 they would do it cause they loved make black males look ridiculous..a way for elites to get a good laugh at humiliating them. I'm white and I totally noticed it while growning up.
@@skyblaze1134 Not only that but to humiliate him as well. They’ll never do it to white men but every other man is disposable. Thank you for noticing it!!
Im a bengals fan...and we could have gotten all those picks cuz Dtika called cincinnati first and offered the same picks for that one spot...but we decided we HAD to get akili smith instead. you say yall have never heard of akili smith? yea i try not to think of him either..we could have had a dynasty
@@bryanhayes9728 well... i wasn’t alive when they did that but there was still a good chance we would have had a dynasty and no we didn’t trade our picks
Hey dude, if you’re reading this: first, love your vids. Second, around the 5:00 mark you have Benson’s birthday a bit off (‘82 not ‘92). Best! Nicholas
I grew up Mormon and this guy is a legend in the Mormon community 💀 they praise him and talk about his story all the time as an example of “faith and wisdom”
RIP Cedric Benson.. I am not a UT longhorns fans but that era of Texas football was so dominant.. well respected and hated at the same time.. coming from a USC alum
For those of you who weren't around 4 years ago, I made a video similar to this if you want to check it out (none of the same stories featured here). ruclips.net/video/xunjJCyDQ2E/видео.html
hi
Great video you keep putting out bangers
Your elite 😎
Ur the goat nfl RUclipsr
Just FYI at 5:00 it shows his birthday as 12/28/92, but it should be 12/28/82
Dawg, that last story. Imagine you got drafted in the NFL but no one told you and you found out 55 years later 😭😭
That deff is the craziest story to me sheesh

Imagine if the Mormon guy ended up being convinced. 2nd greatest steal ever.
@Ste 45 how do you not respect the man, he chose what’s more important... god 🙏
@Ste 45 He picked what was more important to him. I have to respect it. Money isn't everything
Such an Al Davis move
@Ste 45 it’s his choice. He clearly respects god more than football. Everyone has the rights to practice their own religion.
