His RUclips channel "The QB School" is absolutely amazing!
Keith Holding completely agree it’s amazing
Best football informational channel imo.
Recently found his channel as well, love it so far.
I guess that's why this showed up in recommended :)
Thought that was him, hard to recognize with no beard
I saw his channel I didn't make the connection it was the NFL QB I just kinda of wonders why this nerd seemed to A. be so athletic looking and B. to know the NFL inside out.
I remember this dude always being in the madden free agents
SLIT ha
I remember when he was starter in SF and he had no WR's to throw to. Like the offense rating for SF was 66.
Rob Roux sounds like madden 05
@@loganreed4582 Madden 05 with Tim Rattay(76) as the QB and Kevan Barlow was a 82 and Frank Gore was a 77. JT O sullivan was like a 64-66 FA
By the time Madden 09 came out; O Sullivan was a 75 and the starter.
Hi I’m Jt O’Sullivan and welcome to the qb school.
pewwwww
Duke Mypants I’m fired up for this one
Hahaha, his channel is so awesome. Love his videos and personality
Whapisshhhh
First td pass was to Calvin Johnson. Pretty cool.
I miss Megatron
Brett Favre's first pass was a TD to the other team.
Imagine how cool it must have been to go from D2 to just practicing with Calvin Johnson?
@@ppumpkin3282 Brett Farves first pass was to himself
I know many people that would refuse to be a backup in the NFL and others that would quit the minute they hear they aren't playing. The fact this dude was a career backup and was happy with that is actually a nice change of scenerio, he just seemed grateful for even being drafted.
Some Blue Dude Backup Quarterbacks can make a killing off of sitting on the bench, Chase Daniel has made around $28M for being a backup
Talk about love for the game!
Oh yeah? Who are these "many people you know" that quit the NFL because they didn't start. I doubt it. They would make more money doing that than most jobs and they likely love the sport....
Who tf do you know
Everyone wants to be the star but I woulda been happy being on the practice squad.
He may have not been good, but the road itself to the NFL is incredible
@The Anthropologist _Forensic the chances of going to the NFL are quite higher than what you stated but I get what you mean
@The Anthropologist _Forensic you're about women/girl sport. Just not entertaining.
@The Anthropologist _Forensic Damn bro my story is opposite. I played my first year at JUCO and whe had a guy get cut. He went to Cal left early and has already been on 2 NFL teams, Colts and Titans. Journeys to pro sports can be weird.😁 I just tried out for minor pro league and was drafted as a raw prospect and I haven't played college football in 3 years. I'm 23 now.
He was one of those journeyman type players bouncing around from team to team
His RUclips channel "The QB School" is the BEST resource on the internet.
remember him playing for my Niners. respect to him for getting the education after he retired
Aaron Hoff he had a college degree before he went to the nfl
@@JK-vc7ie And now he has 2 more. Kudos to him.
Our nickname for him for those 8 games was "Just Turn Overs" or JTO. Good for him as a person, but those years when he was a Niner were very hard to stomach. (not entirely his fault, but he was just the face of it for those 8 games)
@@hendeeze Im a 49er fan too. I remember Just Turn Overs lmfao I also remember delusional ass fans thinking he was going to be better then Alex Smith lol
And now..... a phenomenal RUclips content creator! @theqbschool!! Love his channel, seems like a great guy
He seems like a down to earth individual, very humble man, dosent dwell on the past but embrace it for what it was, an is , glad he was able to walk away an still make something out of it .
He's my highschool football head coach now
Kyle Cody Patrick Henry baby haha I grafted back in 2013 I played on the team and we went 9-1
Wassgood kyle
Kyle Cody uhuhuhub
Kyle Cody that’s actually really cool
What an amazing wife
This man is a legend at UC Davis
Proof?
@@nahh1782 what do you mean proof dumb ass
This guy's RUclips channel is a gold mine for football knowledge
This dude seems genuine and grateful. Glad he's happy for him and his family, very cool!
He was one of the few bad niner QBs that I liked. And I always pulled for him lol. Him and Sean Hill were legit
Watched them both play in Detroit. Sean Hill didn't give a f*ck and threw that ball every chance he got lol
Facts.
Tim Rattay was pretty decent too.
The one thing I like is he didn’t let his nfl career let him down... that’s true character
It's an honor to get to play in the NFL, even as a backup.
If you play in the NFL you probably one the top 1% of athletes in the world
He was a 3rd stringer for my Roughriders in the CFL, as I recall he was very well liked and respected.
I love these human stories. I am from California, about a 20 minute drive from Davis and his school of UCD. I grew up a 49ers fan, and while he was no star, I felt happy to watch a local kid play as the starting QB for my favorite team.
Maybe like five people in the world know this, but if you played as the 49ers in EA Sports Head Coach for the xbox or PS2, J. T. O'Sullivan would easily become a start QB under the Mike Martz offense. The way the game is set up, the playbook and everything aligned for him to be the second coming of Kurt Warner. That wasn't just my experience, other people tried it out and saw the same results.
I will always have fond video game memories of J.T. O'Sullivan.
They were such a crap team with a crap HC at that time...who was replaced by another crap HC mid-season that year. The schedule during the early part of that season was brutal. Wish he had had a chance to show himself against the easier back end of that season.
@@jmill3147 man he just wasn't that good
@@skankhunt-oq6yn He was decent
In a perfect situation he would’ve been a top 20-25 QB
This guy has been on every team in the NFC North.
Those were truly some dark years of Niner football between JT and coach Mike Nolan
Greatest Backup QB Ever.
No
Steve Young?
Clipboard Jesus and Jon Kitna would like a word
@@ShaunHensley he doesn’t count because he became a starter. A backup quarterback is just that.
Honestly good for him... He went from having fun to making millions... Thats a success story
...And now JT passes along his depth of knowledge to the next generation. A wise man
Now I understand why QB School actually feels like school. A lot of competition for football analysis, and QB School is my favorite. Even after everything he put his wife through (granted, Navy brat), she still is still devoted, says something about him. His likeability shows up in the program. Hardly ever says anything bad about people. The worst is something like 'you can't do that'.
186th overall, and yet still higher than the GOAT
Cool to see a short on J.T. Remember watching him play for the Galaxy. Shame they didn't win the final World Bowl.
Can you imagine having no idea the NFL is going to draft you? Haha
I love his RUclips channel, the QB school.
Bruh he’s been every where 😳
I swear Chris Berman used to call him "J.T. O' Smelling Salts". Lol.
Guys like J.T. are the backbone of the NFL....
Dude got to collect NFL paychecks for like a decade... Word.
You really don’t make much on the practice squad, but he probly made solid cash when he was on active rosters
This man has lived a full life. He's really inspired me to go out and do more. I complain way too much. So glad I saw this video
Remember going to candle stick and watching jt play
Very cool story. What’s really crazy is these guys who are considered backups in the NFL are still some of the absolute best in the world when it comes to throwing a football. I mean you put a second/third string NFL guy against any turkey bowl MVP and it’s not even going to be close.
Love his channel, down to earth dude great to hear his story, his first touchdown pass to Megatron, great to see he got all he could from the game he loves.
For those that ended up here after becoming fans of The QB School...congrats, you found the origin story. Keep it up JT.
Grinning like a fool throughout this entire video. What a great story. And, of course, let's not forget that he's got his own RUclips Channel now (youtube.com/@TheQBSchool) where he diagrams games and offenses and quarterback play. One of the best analysts working out there these days. Doctor O'Sullivan!
For some reason i remember him playing for the 9ers and i always pulled for him. He came right before the 9ers start hitting it big.
So his name is now D.R.J.T.O lol
What a humbled Back up QB.
Thats my coach :')
Gotta love guys like this
And now he runs the best football channel on the RUclipss...
Wow he played in the NFL and now he has a Ph.d! Cool! He has the best of both worlds.
QB School!
He now runs the best football analysis channel out there
This is awesome. Just a regular dude that got to live his dream, and is grateful for the opportunity to have been able to do it.
What an inspiration! Great story to watch for sure. I remember seeing him play for the niners, but dont recall hearing his name when he played for my patriots.
This is a really great story. It was really neat to hear a little bit about his life after the NFL.
He looks like Aaron Rodgers and/or John Cena 😂
No he looks like a discount Hollywood actor who starred in the Notebook
That's who I thought it was at first I'm like wait
Or kevin bacon
He looks like the qb school guy or you know what the head coach of Patrick Henry H.S.
Ed Helms too
It's here to show how hard is to be a QB in the NFL. This dude have a huge football IQ(you can see on his channel ''The QB school'')and yet he was a backup/pretty bad starter his whole career. That's why the good QBs takes ''all the money'' of the roster, because is the most difficult and specialized position in sports.
Nice JT! I began watching your football analysis a couple years ago and today stumbled across your story! Awesome dude!!
One of the coolest guys ever we collaborate on my channel and I enjoyed it and so did the subs he sent me here and this is awesome
I saw the Clive Cussler book, you can’t fool me J.T.
JT has the best QB breakdown videos on youtube with QB School. He may have not have had great success in NFL but his journeyman career makes him so knowledgeable in his film breakdowns. He might be more suited to be a QB coach.
He probably made around 5 million for 10 years worth of work. That's pretty great.
7:25 I am learning how to become a personal assistant to an aspiring Broadway playwright. We were talking about this very concept the night before I watched this video again. It is funny how life works!
This is inspiring. What a great dude
Really enjoy his analysis on his channel the QB school
What a good guy!!
This guy needs to be an offensive coordinator or assistant in the nfl. Straight up dude. With a world of experience. His QB School channel here on RUclips absolutely on point. Not much more I can say.🏈👏😉
guy takes a hell of a knew. god love this guy. cheers boyo
Glad to see you have some Rider Pride!
The original Luis Perez
I love stories like these
i remember him well. good for you jt
That's the same bookshelf from the QB School!
Yeah, same room. Noticed that. Boom!
I remember that year he played qb for my niners, glad he’s doing well these days
Don't fool yourself if you think this guy doesn't have value! Think of how many playbooks this guy has seen as well as discussions with different coordinators in film rooms. Holding the clipboard for the starter provides so many situational awareness knowledge that he could possibly be a great QB coach one day, and maybe even an offensive coordinator!
As a Niner fan I remember watching him and thinking he was the best we had at the time.. I think it was between him and Shaun Hill
Yes absolutely, he is tremendous with his YT channel the qb school.
This starts off like a Lowe's commercial. Also, lots of whistling.
It’s stories like this that makes me want to finish up my Bachelors degree.
Love is youtube channel QBschool, very informative
5:22 Clive Cussler books ... Not the Ph.D. reading list .... LOL I've read a bunch of those too. It's the Fiction part of his library
Still have his niners jersey tho’.
Just goes to show how hard it is to play in the nfl
100%. Anyone who is an NFL starter is an absolute freak of nature no question. 😂 For any person to be able to start in the league irrespective of performance, it's is an accomplishment.
Niner Fan.....man those JTO days were dark....JTO Chris Winke a hurt Alex Smith 😪
Remember him with the Saints on Madden 05
Love it!
This dude kicked ass at UC Davis....
Yo I been watching his videos for awhile now! He has a RUclips account where he breaks down plays!!! I never even knew he play in the nfl. 🤦🏻♂️
It's about perseverance.
I can name around 28 teams this guys is more than qualified to run. Hope he gets his shot.
David Connor when u mean "run" you mean coach right?
He's retired...or do u mean coach or be a GM ?
David Connor he could work in the front office for a team. He has a PHD and specialized in leadership studies
He's a smart ass dude. I'd hire him
@@solidraven6986 GM
I remeber him !!
Please upload old nfl films with john facenda as the narrator.
MHWeEatNation man I'm pretty sure Mr. Facenda died 33 years ago.
MHWeEatNation never mind I didn't read your comment right, I apologize for my sin.
TheRedWolf sins imply a diety, no apology necessary.
Trilldaddy w/ Cartier i was just being a little sarcastic. I know the word sins is usually implied in most cases when someone in a religion sins ( or makes a serious mistake) and has to apologize, but i was joking around because I read the comment with stupidity. I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way.
TheRedWolf I was being partially sarcastic as well. No hard feelings.
Good story. The man figured it out and would continue to go to college. Goes to show you can really figure these sorts of things out. Was his scholarship to UC Davis a full ride or partial, I wonder though.
That TD to Megatron would have ben offensive PI if it was this year smh
who else looked for the skip ad button at the begging of the video?
Check out his RUclips channel: "The QB School".... great channel.
Make me wanna sign him on madden and resurrect his career
John kitna haven’t heard that name in years
Nice
What is the title all I saw was division 2 heisman candidate to... i was thinking it was gonna be a teacher or doctor or something but of course he’s a backup
He is essentially a nerd who lived the nfl dream. Awesome
I don't know why more teams don't have the backup do the victory formation plays.
QB School is the best
This guy played with like 11 franchises in his career god damn
MaxVFX Pretty damn amazing, he got to meet and play with all time greats and got a lot of jerseys.
MaxVFX made a good amount of money too. He may have been a back up qb for like 12 years for 10 teams, but he was probably making 1mill plus a year for that time, then add in sponsorships and bonuses. Wouldn't be surprised if he made about $15M in his career
