Because getting tackled is basically the same as being in a car crash. Being sacked is often worse because you’re standing relatively still and don’t see them coming. Then extrapolate that out 50+ times a season

Great video I really enjoyed watching it.

Many Eagles fans are also fans of Penn State fans, so we knew when he showed up in Philly that there was no shot he would make the team. Sad story. Wish him the best.

Hey Matt! I feel like there’s a handful of college athletes who dominated at that level and just couldn’t make it in the league, it would be cool to see a video on those guys like Vince young, Tim Tebow, Matt Leinart, and AJ McCarron

Awesome video!

Makes you wonder how these scouts actually come up with their impressions of athletes? Hackenberg was rated a perfect 100 coming out of high school & yet took a nosedive at the next levels. Guess we're going to witness more of that this week during the Underwear Olympics.

Good report. Thanks! But Why did you not mention his experience playing for Bill O’Brian? Many of us Penn State fans felt Billy Boy messed him up.

He had such a great freshmen year and then after the coaching change he looked like a completely different player

Can you do a story about Knowshon Moreno? I followed his high school career heavily.

That crazy ass throwing motion.

Many people don't realize that every player that makes it in the pros needed talent AND LUCK to make it. As a QB, you need to be lucky enough to be in the right offensive scheme that showcases your skillset. You need a very good coach who believes in you and sticks with you. You need a solid supporting cast on offense, especially the O line and one or two good receivers. If any of those pieces are missing, even a super talented player can fall through the cracks.

Chris Oats linebacker from Kentucky He’s an amazing good guy could’ve been a 1st round draft pick check the story it’s an emotional ride of perseverance his story needs told and he needs all the love and support

When he signed with Penn State Bill O'Brien was the head coach and they were pretty close from what I understand. When O'Brien left and James Franklin came in, I think they didn't mesh well for whatever reason. When Franklin came to Penn State from Vanderbilt he also brought his Vandy recruit Trace McSorely, who turned out to have an awesome PSU career. I don't know how the dynamics of all of those relationships worked but I know there was tension between Hackenberg and Franklin.

Do a story on Max Hall, it is a pretty cool redemption story and he was a fascinating QB.

He has some crazy games at Penn State like Michigan vs Penn State whiteout game

Hey Matt, love the channel man, I have been watching it for years. You should do a piece on meechie walker. Powerful story.

As a jets fan I can confidently say that you aren’t wrong about your assessment on the jets being bad for QB’s . In fairness though, if you’re not good enough to be a back up on the 2010’s jets, it’s says more about the player than the team. He wasn’t any good, and judging by his college numbers, this isn’t a huge shock to anyone.

As a voice over.. You are a natural for a motel 6 successful add campaign.. “we’ll leave the light on for ya”

Never played on a PSU team with more than 60 scholarship players. Signed with a pro style HC (Bill O’Brian). Finished with a spread option coach. (James Franklin). Still finished his NFL contract. As far as him “just throwing darts” Any millionaire in their 20’s can explore their future all they want.

All things considered, he’s a very lucky man. He had a great college experience, he has a promising career field and the possibility to explore other career options, and has a family. He’s not doing too bad.

They did that to tayvon and reggie bush. They weren't utilized enough and they were used as decoys and gadget players so much they didn't get a chance to shine... Eventually on the dolphins , Reggie was able to ball because they used him a lot as a RB. And the lions I believe also but no one used them like they did in college by putting them everywhere using them all the time, just getting the ball in their hands as many ways possible. At USC Reggie was even split out wide and killed running routes, he wasn't nearly used enough or the same way in the pros. I chalk that up to a bunch of old guard coaches who knew something was there but wasn't used to and didn't know what to do with those kind of weapons. We now see Tyreek and deebo and aiyuk and others utilized way better and able to make huge impacts
