As a Michigan fan I remember this well. Many of us were surprised when he lost the job to Milton. Hes one of the big “what ifs” because Milton didn’t play well and was ultimately replaced by McNamara. Couldn’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if it had been Dylan.
Milton must have been a practice demon because he won the job in Tennessee, I think he had it over Hendon Hooker which is crazy. Milton wasn't good in games for whatever reason.
@@ronaldadams3230 He must’ve been. He definitely had all the physical tools, just couldn’t do it come game time. I remember all the players were high on him before the season. A few games in we were like… “this is it?” Next thing, McNamara is in, Milton’s transferring and nobody’s torn up about it…
I don't think people realize how hard it is to make into the NFL! I had a high school buddy who started at the University of Oregon as a linebacker and played all 4 years. He didnt even get invited to the NFL combine.
A former player of mine started all four years at linebacker at USC, led the team in tackles every year, was named team captain both of his last two seasons....and he had to send out a mass letter begging teams to take a look at him just to barely get considered at the end of the draft. Drafted in the 7th round, cut before the season even started and signs to a practice squad, cut again and signs to a different practice squad, played special teams for a while before finally getting two starts at the end of the year due to injury (where he plays great), next year he's back on special teams and doesn't get any meaningful defensive snaps all year, cut again and onto a new team, there he starts for most of the season and looks fine, but the next year he's a backup all year, waived at the end of the season. Signs and then gets waived by two more teams without ever seeing the field again. Now he's coaching. His big shortcoming? He was "only" 6'0" 235lbs with a 4.7 40. Back in the 1970s, those would be Pro Bowl numbers, but today there are just too many linebackers going 6'3" with 4.6 or better speed, and the coaches are always gonna gravitate towards those #'s.
He was a good high school player who went to Michigan which has multiple four and five star athletes. He didn’t get the starting job and then decided to follow his dad at Northern Colorado. But he should have went to maybe a PAC 12 or Big 12 school vs playing for his dad at a small school.
Sorry to sound condescending but I'm not going to watch for 15 minutes, and so I don't know if this is covered in your video, but the reason his career went south was because of concussions. Most specifically a hit he took against Wisconsin when he had all but officially replaced Shea Patterson as the starter. McC had a slighter frame but he ran upright to contact. In other words he was built like Tom Brady (exaggeration) but ran like his brother. He wasn't built to last and withstand hits. He was a heck of a dual threat before injuries. JJ lite.
I live in Colorado. The McCaffrey's were absolute legends during their HS football years at Valor. I'm old and remember how much hype Chauncey Billups was getting when he was in High School. I lived in the middle of nowhere and the internet wasn't a thing yet, but even we'd heard about Chauncey.
I'm in Colorado too and outside of Chauncey and the MC Cafferys there isn't a lot to hang our hats on as far as big time sports in Colorado.. I date back to Rich Gossage. Legendary MLB pitcher
@@Greg-fu1dv There are definitely a few others but more obscure. The other biggest name would be Roy Halladay. I knew someone who dated him in HS and said he was an ahole. lol. Some other guys in baseball that were pretty good were Scott Elarton and Luke Hochaver. In football, Tony Boselli who is in the HOF. That’s all that I know of at least.
Hey Matt, Was there another brother who played in the Senior Bowl this year? Love your content! Lol😀 Mike from Texas, grew up in north east Alabama! Roll Tide
First MBG video I’ve watched in weeks. First, videos haven’t popped up in my recommended list for weeks. Meta tags? IDK. Also, to me anything NFL is like forcing yourself to drink that nasty X-ray contrast dye. I don’t do it unless my life is in danger. So viewership will shift significantly. But the target market is much bigger. Hope the Finebaum move to a national audience works well for you Matt.
Mannn, firstly...great research and video. As usual. This kid banked on Patterson leaving and just stepping into the QB1 slot, not accounting for either Milton or McNamara competing. He is one of the biggest "What if's..." in Michigan lore. I think most Maize & Blue fans thought he would push the other 2 QBs. Pity.
His biggest mistake was not playing the 2020 season because he would have got his shot at being the starter. As a Michigan fan based on what happened after the Michigan 2020 season I'm glad things happened the way they did! 〽️GO BLUE 15-0 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Always wondered what would have happened if he didn't get injured before the spring which led to Joe Milton got the starting job in 2020. He had some real speed on scrambles playing in garbage time and funny enough had a couple nice TD throws to Mike Sainristil iirc.
I remember Dylan McCaffery playing at Michigan. At one point there was a pretty big buzz for Shea Patterson to be benched and Dylan to start. Especially when we saw the glimpses of great ability that Dylan showed vs the Good play by Patterson. But he lost the job to Milton and transferred out. I guess theres a reason he lost the battle and why we didnt hear about him since the transfer.
The MaCaffrey’s training while growing up is stuff of legend. I’m talking his dad would ground them if they got shirt tackled. Phones were taken away before bedtime which by the way was around 730 at night. Their dad Ed was a good NFL player but has the reputation here in Colorado as a jerk.
I live i Colorado and I never heard of Ed McCaffrey being jerk. Sometimes fans don't get exactly what they hope from a fan and try to tarnish his reputation.
As a fellow Bama fan! Outside of Jalen is there any other successful QB that transferred out of Bama that a successful career? I really can’t think of any! Thanks 🙏 videos are great RTR
Can you do one on Cliff Harris? He was a cornerback for Oregon who burst on the scene he had interception returns against Tennessee. I believe his quote was when he stepped into the lock room. My name is Cliff Harris, and I’m here to lock shit down then he started getting in trouble and he has a crazy crazy mug shot. If you haven’t seen it, you gotta look but I’d love to know how he’s doing now and hopefully he’s doing better than he waslove the channel Matt go, Ducks
I could swear that he played for Nebraska for a season, with scott frost, didnt do well there either, maybe i mixed him up with one of his brothers. What a crazy plot twist.
@ 11:01 , he already used his Redshirt in 2017, so this is a totally inaccurate point. Furthermore, Michigan's 2017 QB was so bad, and this was the old Redshirt rules and Harbaugh protected Dylan's Redshirt instead of the temptation to try him out of desperation.
Honestly I'm a huge michigan fan. Not connected, but I heard rumors that he suffered an injury. From what I heard it was one that doesn't allow a qb to ever get the same velocity back on the ball.
My HS in Alaska didn’t have a single four star and we dominated teams from California utah and Washington that had 4,5 star players. Stars don’t matter honestly..We faced the defending state champions out of Washington at a summer camp and completely shut them out..Our defense was insane we didn’t lose a game for three years..I was saftey at 6’0 203Lbs and was the smallest kid on the defense.. For whatever reason where I lived has tons of Tongan people it’s similar to Salt lake..No cap we could’ve beaten the number one ranked team in the country my senior year.. We were that good..We had to play on gravel for some games because some schools don’t have grass in Alaska and can’t afford turf.. It made us tough as hell imagine getting hit onto gravel and dirt every play..Shit hurt..
Kid was 6 "5 220 and ran a 4:4 40 yd dash. He ran the ball well at michigan and looked way better running the ball than throwing it. He shouldve switched to wide receiver definitely.
I dunno why you were acting like the Mushroom Brand he was promoting was something Shady. It takes 2 seconds of research to find its not the kind of Mushrooms or "Shrooms" you were insinuating they were.
@@Chasing_777 And yet he is listed as 6'5" and so is McCaffrey. It's not uncommon at all for teams to fudge an inch or two on height listings but that pic looks like even more than that.
What? No, he didn't. He was Frank Gore's backup and rushed for a little over 200 yards (228) in his only NFL season (2009) before retiring. Edit: you must mean that he ran for over 1,000 yards (1,383) during his senior season at Alabama (2008)
The probability of anyone making it and succeeding in the NFL is slim. There should be "What really happened to..." videos when guys actually make it to the NFL. He can always fall back on his good looks and smarts. Looks just like his pop.
*PETITION* Can we get Matt to use his platform for we the people who support him to organize a boycott against the NFL and demand they give us our competitive sport back? The sport is heading in a bad direction with Swift being the priority and if we don't do something about it now it's just going to trickle down to College and then eventually the entire sport is going to be unwatchable for Football Fans. I don't give a F about likes but if you would sign the petition and want Matt to see this hit the like. I refuse to sit back while the ultra rich get richer by peeling our eyelids back and making us watch the destruction of this sport. Ultimately it's part YOUR (the fan) fault for accepting this. Every time a content creator puts Swift in the title they're feeding the beast just to get clicks and then you click on it and feed a double serving....which means you're selling out just like the NFL.
Think you couldve one brother QB then the RB brother if they both have the same skill set like the manñings Eli & Payton both QB'S but the 3rd boy WR but play together or they want to be teamatez
To say he “sucked” is super unfair. Why not say he didn’t have what it takes to make the NFL? he was a great QB, made it much further than 99% of other QBs! Lastly, psilocybin will be the next legal drug in North America! They are using it for post concussion syndrome, amongst a slew of other Brain injuries
Valor is a pretty common word, if Matt just popped it into google and clicked the sound button he could find out what it sounds like lol, never change Matt
Football is great, growing up in Ohio football is life. However it is only a game and it's supposed to be fun. So good for you keep your head up enjoying life it's only a game

I remember dude running 50 yard td from the snap like nothing, should’ve been the starter.
Milton must have been a practice demon because he won the job in Tennessee, I think he had it over Hendon Hooker which is crazy. Milton wasn't good in games for whatever reason.
@@ronaldadams3230 Milton never had it over hooker

I saw him play at Michigan. It seemed like when he was in, a more positive vibe was on the field over Milton. I also wonder what could have been.
I don't think people realize how hard it is to make into the NFL! I had a high school buddy who started at the University of Oregon as a linebacker and played all 4 years. He didnt even get invited to the NFL combine.
nfl is a crazy competitive league

I remember Heisman winner Jason White not getting drafted. You and your body have to be perfect basically
Now that's Ed McCaffrey Jr. Right there, tall dark haired and built just like him...
He was a good high school player who went to Michigan which has multiple four and five star athletes. He didn’t get the starting job and then decided to follow his dad at Northern Colorado. But he should have went to maybe a PAC 12 or Big 12 school vs playing for his dad at a small school.
We all asked for this 1‼️
What happened to his other brother Max McCaffery?
Luke is nasty too. Wish he stayed at Nebraska
He left Nebraska because he was an only a runner
Max played at duke and played for the packers for a short time
How many bros does this dude have 😂
I think he had a short little career for Carolina too
The McCafferys are breaking all the stereotypes. “I had a dream, that white runningbacks and white corners could both play in the NFL.”
McCaffrey’s have a white corner?
As a Colorado resident I find it refreshing that some national attention is on the McCaffrey brothers Ed was a beast for the Broncos back in the 90s
Sorry to sound condescending but I'm not going to watch for 15 minutes, and so I don't know if this is covered in your video, but the reason his career went south was because of concussions.

Oh, I remember that. Thanks for reminding us. He showed some promise before then. Poor kid
Love these style videos need more!
Thanks Matt. I've often wondered what happened to him.
When he was at Michigan I wanted to see him try out WR

As a Michigan fan, I ask myself this question every day 😂😂😂
BTW, I heard what you said about having stuff to talk about during the offseason. I’ll definitely be here for Bama and most other CFB posts.

Bro I’m on the creek blue team in the highlights man I miss those days
His issue at Michigan was he got 2 really bad concussions In his limited snaps, i think that played a role in Milton being picked over him
I was hoping we'd see this comment -- dude was a stud but never looked the same after that wisconsin hit
Also separated his shoulder if I remember correctly. He didn't avoid contact.
Broken collarbone it was against Penn State.

? What video
@@jasonv2323he posted about the college football video game but he took it down

I remember him as a Michigan fan, guy just disappeared
I was a huge fan of his, I felt Michigan didn't give him a chance pretty much used him like JJ early on. Great video, PEACE
Michigan legend Dylan McCaffrey
He had some wheels, was hoping he would be great.
Don’t forget about Luke either
Luke McCaffery is at Rice University as a receiver
I could swear that he played for Nebraska for a season, with scott frost, didnt do well there either, maybe i mixed him up with one of his brothers. What a crazy plot twist.
You're thinking of his little brother Luke.
Highlight of his UM career was Wiscy db trying to knock his head clear off
It's not Vaylor or Valooor, its Val-or.
Val as in (Valerie/Value) and or as in or. Say it fast and it's Valer.
Ole MattBeIlliterate
The average high school quarterback throws for 40 yards a game. That’s my biggest takeaway.
I hope my Texans draft Luke McCaffrey this draft. Rd 4 hopefully
@ 11:01 , he already used his Redshirt in 2017, so this is a totally inaccurate point.
Furthermore, Michigan's 2017 QB was so bad, and this was the old Redshirt rules and Harbaugh protected Dylan's Redshirt instead of the temptation to try him out of desperation.
He would have had one more year of eligibility left because of the Covid year
You should do a video on Spencer rattler
Honestly I'm a huge michigan fan. Not connected, but I heard rumors that he suffered an injury. From what I heard it was one that doesn't allow a qb to ever get the same velocity back on the ball.
It's Valor (pronounced just like the word "valor" va-ler...My son went there...

He’s from Colorado. Of course he is selling mushrooms. It’s legal there now. It’s the new gold rush.
2:29 . I. Still trying to figure it out 😂
Dylan's transfer decision was as weird as Sam McGuffie leaving Michigan for Rice and was never heard from again.
He must have been slow with no hands
The Father would have had him playing WR
You forgot to mention that he redshirted in 2017 as a true freshman which is kind of ridiculous. How do you have so many followers?

Kid was 6 "5 220 and ran a 4:4 40 yd dash. He ran the ball well at michigan and looked way better running the ball than throwing it. He shouldve switched to wide receiver definitely.

A video on Stephen Garcia would be goayer
As a OSU fan what about Torrance Gibson 5star top 3 quarterback ???
Valor: Courage or bravery.
As a Michigan fan I thought Dylan was going to be the TRUTH!!!
Why did Dylan look 4 inches shorter than Milton while standing side by side?
I wondered the same thing.
Milton is a dang giant

He flopped in the NFL and now runs a nil collective for the bucknuts
Can you please talk about Marshall
What about his other brother willy
I always thought he was better suited for WR.
Why does it seem like there’s a 20 year age gap between the McCaffery kids.
I think his brother Luke is going to be the next to have a decent pro career
Think you couldve one brother QB then the RB brother if they both have the same skill set like the manñings Eli & Payton both QB'S but the 3rd boy WR but play together or they want to be teamatez

I remember him deciding to go to Michigan I knew it wasn’t a good spot for him lol same age and I was big on Christian so I kept up w them lol
Michigan screwed him over. Played him just enough to ruin his redshirt.
