yup. that’s why the “always believe the victim” shit is stupid because it goes against the “innocent until proven guilty” bs the justice system spews. its more guilty until proven innocent. thats why it takes so long for people to get trials which goes against the constitution of a “quick and soeedy trial”

I really love the new editing styles you’ve recently implemented into your content too, keep up the amazing work.

I was thinking the #1 guy would be Night Train, but apparently he played 1 year of junior college football, so I guess he missed that criteria. But his story IS the definitive example of a walk on to an NFL roster. And even today is the best Cornerback to ever play the game.

Love your videos man. Keep up the good work!

Very inspiring video! The first two stories, and of course the last one

Great video! more like this, please!

The accuser should’ve been in prison for that falsely accusing him of rape

Amazing research work as always

love that you've kept the same outro style ever since your beginning. With that song, the final clip with audio and everything. Awesome bro

Your videos are such high quality. I LOVE that last clip that cues the outro music in every video. So fucking hype

I love the way you end your vids. You manage to fit a big impact into a 10 second preformated outro and it works every time

84 is a local legend still in NOLA.

Great content 💯

The thumbnail confused me. Why would KTO release a video on professional bowlers? This guy must be REALLY good.

Great content concise and entertaining😊

Got to respect Michael Lewis even if he played for the team I grew up hating. He was lightning fast.

Another banger by kto as usual

I have always loved your outro highlights

He mentioned one more. I'll be waiting for when that video comes out.

Nice job researching and showing clips of these players! GG

With some of those names you mentioned I'm surprised they didn't go to Carlisle university along with Jim Thorpe been a lot of the other native American football players

Great video!

The 1990's Miami Dolphins also had a guy #33 (Bernie Parmalee) who was a UPS truck driver. He too was a Pro Bowler. That guy was really good man...Amazing stories here...

Can you do a video on heisman winners and the runner up and how there nfl career looked?

My absolute biggest nightmare is exactly what Brian Banks went through. I can’t imagine spending 5 years of my life in prison for something I didn’t do.

The non-success of (at least) international rugby players going for nfl positions is possibly down to being a "superstar rugby man" on the backend of rugby career to a "nobody with potential" vying for attention against younger athletes. Mailata was different, he was never a rugby star, never had a rugby career. He had nothing to lose and everything to gain by putting in some hard work.

Really good stuff

Every KTO video is straight heat man

The Beerman was legit. Exciting times.

Aye shout out to Ray Seals, a Syracuse NY legend! We have a mural at Kirk Park where he played pop warner!

Lewis was the man when he played for the Saints!! His story here will forever be remembered and now for the Saints to this day

These are the stories that inspirational movies are made of

Felt bad for the second of the two marines considering his passing. He has so much potential and I wish he was still around today

Dont forget about Eric Swann too. D-lineman for the Cardinals in the early 90's

That outro music still slaps. Don't ever change it

Do a video on the 2020 season in college football for how weird it was

I was lucky enough to meet Michael Lewis and Mike McKenzie after a golf tournament in MS. Mr. Lewis is probably one of the funniest men I've ever met. Super nice guy. Same with Mike McKenzie. Everyone else in my store was too intimidated to talk to them and I just shot the shit with both of them for the half hour they were there. The legend about Michael Lewis is that the coaching staff was trying to get Haslett to leave his office to watch Lewis do some timed 40s. They didn't have any cleats in his size, so he was doing them barefoot on the Saints' practice field. He supposedly ran a 4.28 while Haslett watched from his office and Haslett brought him up and offered him a roster spot immediately.

One of the realest guys on KZread, I still remember the time he helped me with a school project in 8th grade

The Goat posted and 11 days I’m late. 😭

I had no idea Michael Lewis was THAT fast… like the wind boy 😂🫡

I love the card @10:00 and how its lists their off season occupation

Being a long time Saints fan and see someone put together a story showing appreciation for Michael Lewis is great!
