@Shawn Francis The finances needed to run a farm are ridiculous. The man is losing tons giving away a whole crop. And either way, he could have made more but choose to lead a simple life helping people. Him being in the NFL doesnt take away from that
Eric ovic Nah, but like...he made enough money that the next step to higher happiness was a more conscious and, what we see as “down to Earth” (pun intended), more humble decision of becoming a farmer.
He understood That a long life is more important than shirt life cause being a pro NFL player can cause physical harm n maybe death & money it is a part of having a happy life💯✌
I'd say it is the opposite. He has witnessed fame first hand and decided it wasn't the life he wanted. If he wasn't famous, he might have never realized his passion.
@@Justin-gl5kh Nah I think he always saw the NFL as a means to an end. He probably planned using his money for this or at least something similar from the very beginning.
I grew up a city kid, who thought the same way the media does. Now I live in a town of about 10k, mostly farmers. I will tell you this; I have learned that you guys, are some of the hardest working mofo's on the planet! Much respect!!!
@@willy102073 how am i racist? What is racist? A feeling of racial superiority? Well i feel east asians have higher group iq and are more respectful than whites. I truly wish all peoples the best in their own lands. I wish no harm on any man due to race or religion. I would save a black mans life without hesitation. Therefore i am not racist. You liberals are so quick to throw out the racist card. What i said has plenty of truth behind it. Blacks are not known to be farmers or having strong agricultural ability. Just look at africa, all the farmers there are white.
I get my food out in the wilderness. I get down with my nose to the ground and pick up animal scents. Then I slather my body in mud, leaves, and human feces and track that animal for days on end. After that I creep up on it slowly, and without a sound I grab it by the head and snap its neck. The meat is delicious, I have no need for your farms, I'm doing just fine out here by myself.
1,000 acres? He invested in his family trust me. Even if he doesn’t get to see it as the generations pass one day his land will be his best investment for his future family.
A truly inspiring story. How can you not respect a guy who values a hard days work and in the end gives a chunk of it to Charity? Great man Jason Brown is.
Ó Slattarra I respect you so much I personally am but its such a good thing to see someone the does not believe in him not say a bunch of shit like fuck you Christians and all that extra shit
I would love to farm as a full time job, the pure satisfaction of seeing your hard work go to thousands of people to enjoy and getting paid to do so is amazing
you suck except when the hard work doesn’t pay off..... I’m a veggie farmer and something always gets you. If it isn’t the weather it’s the market and if it isn’t the market it’s middle men and everyone along the way all the way up to the grocery stores who rip farmers off. Just the past year I was robbed over 20k
What? Farmers a brilliant agricultural scientist. When he said plain'ole farmers he was just using a general idea of what people think a farmer should be ,but in reality we know you have to be hardworking and very brilliant to be a farmer. I never thought once that farmers are stupid just because he said plain'ole farmer.
Mainly because it's often you see the teenagers on instagram with the confederate flag hat, playing kid rock in the background and rapping about farms and the country life. Even though it's not a credible source/stereotype, because they are the odd ones out of the entire bunch - but everyone has a stereotype of what they do, even if the ratio is wrong.
This is a wonderful story that makes me so happy. It's always refreshing to see that not everyone is about money and greed. Some people actually put their money, time, and effort into bettering the world around them. Jason Brown does more good for the common person than most of the world's richest people.
I hate how that man interviewing him tried to almost make fun of him. He is an awesome guy. He knows what is important in life and it's not money. Sure he made alot in the NFL. The thing is now he is basically paying his tithe to humanity. I'm sure there is a special place in heaven for a man like him. He makes my heart feel warm my hats off to him.
It's real sad to see them look down on farming. Some people actually have a genuine interest in this line of work and I don't see anything wrong with that.
Dude, if he's happy and this is giving him a reason to get up in the morning, who cares if it's for God or a five figure paycheck? I would kill to have his peace of mind in my life. Live it up!
What an amazing human being. Its now 10 yrs later and this wonderful man is still doing this and donating most of the livestock and produce to people in need. What a hell of a man 😎🇺🇲
Nothing but respect for this man, he took a once in a life time opportunity to be in the NFL only to get his hands dirty and literally do honest work and give back to his community. This man really deserves to be recognized more than any main stream stuck up NFL player, he is the real MVP.
You are a special man in God's Will. I'm working with children and young people who live, in a povertize apartment complex. I wish I had someone like you here to encourage them and then BLESS them. Lord I wish.Keep the good work up, I love you in the Lord. Norbert Blake
Apparently college doesn't teach intuition. You are completely wrong about my entire point and about my own point of view. Also I only asked one question and I only asked it once.
It's crazy to think how money can effect people. This guy played in the NFL and made so much money that he can literally do whatever he wants without financial worry. In all honesty, I think alot of people would be more forth coming with helping others out if we didn't have the daily stress of struggling to keep a roof over our heads and food in our bellies. It's great to see someone who has overcome that hurdle in life and dedicates a new found hobby to helping others in need. It's not about having more, it's about having enough.
I have to say, when I first seen the title my reaction was WHAT!? WHY!? Lol why would you leave the NFL where you get paid thousands and thousands of dollars, and play one of the best sports in front of thousands and thousands of fans?? But when I watched this I realized how humble this guy is and I can't blame him and I respect him for having the guts to walk away from fame and all the money to pursue his passion. This guy has true heart we need more people like him
Seen this man at a local church give his testimony and even preach a short sermon and he's such a genuine and godly man. He gave up a life of fortune and fame to give to people who are less fortunate. God truly changed his way of thinking and living. Say what you want about him but he will get his blessings in the end.
When will some people realize money isn’t everything in life, yeah you need it to live but you don’t need a lot of it. This man found a different passion and he loves what he does, that means more in the long run and he’s helping the needy.
You go Mr. Brown, from South Texas, six years ago l retired after 40 years o row crop farming, including the prestigious art of growing watermelons. If I were blessed with another lifetime l would do it all over again. God bless you Mr. Brown.
He did not become a “plain old farmer”!! He became a farmer. Good for him and God bless him.
NO FARMS = NO FOODS
Move to Colorado and farm some good cheeb.
@@seanl764 way ahead of ya

One of the greatest NFL retiree stories ever. Hate how they put him down. That's a lot of sweet potatoes
Probably just mad he made more money than them in a day than they did in 6 years
Nice, subtle Seinfeld/Kramer reference...
With that football money he can buy them nice tractors
D S a lot of money too from farming
