He was the real deal in high school I went to Kecoughtan High, and he had about 400 yards rushing 259 yards passing about 10 touchdowns all by the 3rd quarter lol CHUCK been a problem since He was a Raider(Rec Ball)
@@Thomasraymun yoo fam no lie, a lil cap but close enough… he average 5 to 7 touchdown by myself…. For real just go check he high school highlights and stats if you don’t believe me… I’m from Badnewz (Newport News Va) we call him Bubba Chuck since his Raiders Days
I seen one game he threw for like 300 yards and like ran for like 200 yards and had like 5 picks, punt returns… JUST GO CHECK HIS BETHEL HIGH SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS.Peace

If you ask me, A.I. is the Deion Sanders the Basketball. Puttin the culture on his back and havin the skills to back it up so the “stiffs” had to deal with it.
If you ask me I don’t think so. Deion was a media guy….. AI was himself. A true Role model and great man! His demeanor was a lot like Dame Lillards in the way that they’re unapologetically themselves.

No it was him. They drafted stack, drafted Hughes and drafted Tim Thomas all directly before or Direct after AL. Al failed himself by not learning to be a facilitator and needing to play off the ball. He wanted those guys traded for theo Ratliff, mckie, Tyrone hill and then flip Ratliff for Deke.

AI made the right choice to Perdue basketball. Back when he came out coaches and the other powers that be would have tried to turn him into a receiver or DB. That mindset was real back then.

(Insert practice joke) Yet, AI was a phenomenally gifted athlete. Maybe he could’ve been a safety. For him to have been as great is just unlikely.

AI was a pretty great NBA player, outside of his poor FG%. But anyways, there is no sport that he could've been better at than basketball. If you've never played college football or pro football, you can't say that you'd be better at football than AI was at basketball, and that includes if you're AI. He might as well say "I never studied science. But, if I did, I know I'd be an even better astronaut than I was a basketball player." I don't think AI realizes what an elite basketball player he was.
Hard to believe given his slight build.. maybe if he had put on more weight, but I still doubt he would’ve been better.. he’s one of the top 10 pg of all time.

90% of a NFL players job involves practice

He was #1 in the nation in both sports
@@andrestafford3864 People said he might have had the potential to be a #1 draft pick in football and basketball out of HS, but he was not a #1 pick out of HS for football. Not sure where u got your info from?
@@mj1s735 Associated Press Player of the Year in both sports his junior year before the bowling alley incident. Was recruited by every college and was going to sign with Notre Dame… I’m from the 757
AI was a pretty great NBA player, outside of his poor FG%. But anyways, there is no sport that he could've been better at than basketball. If you've never played college football or pro football, you can't say that you'd be better at football than AI was at basketball, and that includes if you're AI. He might as well say "I never studied science. But, if I did, I know I'd be an even better astronaut than I was a basketball player." I don't think AI realizes what an elite basketball player he was.
Man was a QB but still has the record for interceptions. How?!
I didnt like weights cuz I thought it was too heavy. Lol
Hard to believe given his slight build.. maybe if he had put on more weight, but I still doubt he would’ve been better.. he’s one of the top 10 pg of all time.
They always try to make it seem like shannon was the first receiving tight end like john mackey dave casper Russ Francis clint didier mark bavaro keith jackson steve jordan doug cosby Todd christiansen ozzie newsome and kellen winslow never existed lmao...
757 stand up!!
Yea yea AI would have been in concussion protocol every week.
