“He was soft..” 2 seconds later shows a highlight of him flatbacking someone
Wyatt Walton right? Looked like he was serving pancakes to me 🤷♂️
Key word, "was."
@@johneldridge8678 not really, if they was to insinuate him being soft they should of not show that clip.
@@ShatteredHawk
Right. I'm just pointing out that he "was" soft, when he was younger.
Pancaking someone is the term
They kept Brandon’s locker encased in glass as a memorial for him.
@The Sensitive Psycho - Do we know at least a little bit on why Brandon crossed over the middle lane?
Did he fall asleep? Pass out?? Try to pass a car??? Heart attack????
I'm 41 and the age of 33, I dropped off my son, @ the time he was 10 years old, 30 minutes early for school for him to receive extra credit for helping set up and clean their new room, and not 20 seconds later, I passed out, fainted, and crashed my Toyota Sequoia into a parked vehicle going 15mph.
The witnesses say I was out for 3 minutes, slouched over on the passenger side while they were banging on my window trying to get me out or awake. LVMPD called an ambulance and they did all types of tests on my brain & heart, urine and blood of course... All negative. They took my D/L for 3 months until I seen a neurologist outside of the hospital. 3 tests later, they have no clue.
At the end, they say, they claim, 60% to 70% of people experience a episode of passing out, fainting, for no reason at least once in their lifetime.
@@danoneall4013 hope your feeling better now,
it was a gud wee video but a sad story but at least he lives on with that award
@@markyoung5761 - I appreciate the concern
I'm fine. I cannot complain.
Great story & movie. Made tears come to eyes full force.
@@danoneall4013 if I'm honest I was near there myself lol
@@danoneall4013 You can also pass out from coughing.
I didn't hear it mentioned, but it should also be pointed out that he excelled academically as well. He earned his M.B.A. in '99 before playing in his final game, that year's Citrus Bowl. He is the only Arkansas Razorback player to get a graduate degree before his final game with the team. He achieved two degrees and all those awards and achievements in less than five years. What a remarkable human being he was.
No kidding. That should’ve been in there for sure.
He was a academic all-american all four years he was at Arkansas.
@@heatherphillips5983 I had completely forgotten that, but that’s absolutely true.
@@anthonygorga1482 you should watch the movie it’s on Hulu or Netflix
@@vandieselcuuuz will do! Thanks for the tip.
This man would have been protecting Peyton Manning for over a decade.
Heartbreaking.
Wow I ain’t even think bout that
And he would be best friends I bet
And next to Jeff Saturday
Matt Davis Maybe
Just imagine an offensive line with him and Q Nelson..
At the University of Arkansas stadium, there is a section dedicated to him, and it's for kids going to their first game
Insert Opinion for real??
William Lackey yeah they are called the "Burls kids" and get put on the Jumbotron every game. The university has a program to get these kids in free to a game, a lot of them are underprivileged (but not all)
Insert Opinion that’s awesome man. I didn’t know that.
Insert Opinion last year I visited UofA with my JROTC unit, I remember us touring and my major walked away, I followed him and we got to see it
Lol. Not true
He actually died bcz he decided to take his mom to church rather than stay for the ring ceremony. What an amazing son and man. He left a legacy!!!
@Mike Keller the argument could be that he’s fulfilled the most he could, and was given salvation at a okey point of worthiness
@@Windows98. nah
@Mike Keller free will. God doesn't control that tho. Free will choices.
@Mike Keller What an awful thing to say. If we are all just animals which have no other motivation than ourselves, explain the outpouring of grief and sorrow, the inspirational feelings that Brandon's story gives? For me your comment shows two things. One, the Creator of the universe gives us free will, even to be idiots and say hurtful things. Second. you hate the idea of God, and you're grappling with it, which shows what God wants is faith. God punished his most faithful servant Job, so we should dare not question the creator of all. We'll all know the truth soon enough.
@dylan bowes did you make that up or get it somewhere. that's great
I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know about Brandon until I saw "Greater".
What an incredible story, and what an incredible young man.
The word "tragedy" is overused. But his death was a true tragedy.
Hey man, no one can know everything. No shame in that. You know about him now, at least
Had no idea either. Just watched greater myself.
The movie of his life made us cry what a good man especially a son and a God fearing man who always do good 🙏 he have a wonderful loving brother he is lucky and blessed just taken away too soon 😔
Just learned of him, too, when I saw the film this morning. Even though I've never played or been into football, Burlsworth is still an inspiration. And seeing how he dedicated his life to the sport of football and his family...he is truly a remarkable soul. I'm just glad his dreams came true. That's a powerful story.
Same. Just watched it and found this
It just goes to show you that you can do anything you put your mind to.
This is truly inspirational. Rest in paradise Brandon.
well, that's a sweet sentiment but if he'd been born to only 5'6 and 300 lbs no matter of work or grit could make him an NFL lineman.
@@happyperv8319 well you never knew till you try
Not if you die after crashing in a Subaru.
@@happyperv8319 ever heard of fullbacks?
No one:
TH-cam recommended: "you wanna become emotionally attached to football and cry like a baby??"
Men dont cry
@@cerberus8462 if you honestly think that that's just not correct
Made me cry a lil. I'm gonna share this one story with the youth in my church. I hope it'll inspire some of them with low self esteem.
Just did
@@djdevyn1967 ooohhhhh i was wondering when the aggressive SJW would show and start an argument!then bingo! here you are standing up for all those oppressed men that actually cry! sorry dude, the 90s called and want their cause back!
Never heard of Burlsworth, hit me hard, such a loss, such an inspiration. God bless his family.
Watch the movie Greater. It's about his life and the actor who played him did an incredible job.
@@dawnc5797 I absolutely loved that movie. I love inspiring movies but that movie really moved me. They did such a great job with it. I aim to watch it again some day with my husband and our son when he's old enough to understand it.
I live in Arkansas grew up watching him
@@dawnc5797 thank you ... This movie is really good..
Watch the movie Greater
He accomplished more in 22 years than most of us will in a lifetime. And it wasn't because of talent, family name, money or anything else. His hard work and Character is an inspiration. His was a life lived well.
Me: What the hell's a walk on?
*6 minutes later*
Me; *choking back tears*
😅
What is a walk on
Watch the movie about him called greater one of the most emotional movie I ever seen
Na
@@FoxTrotSUBSCRIBE_PLZ Someone who is not on scholarship, in a University's sports team.
Razorback starter as a Sophomore..
All Sec as a Junior..
And as a Senior on a top 20 Arkansas team in 1998 “All American”.. That part chokes me up the most. Rest well big man
Sampson L-Mill ON WISCONSIN
As a die hard hog fan top 20 Arkansas team doesn’t come often also remember when he tripped Clint sterner for the stumble and fumble
@@austincox6426 I remember that. I'm a Vol fan and that fumble paved the way to a Championship year for us.
* Bake and that destroyed are chances it’s no doubt that whoever won that game was gana be the champions. But looking at are teams now we haven’t seen that in a while lol
@@austincox6426 I know. 98 has been a curse now for us. :(
He’s a true Razorback legend, and is an inspiration to the whole state. His name will never be forgotten here..
Woo Pig Sooie
I am so proud of this man. My uncle knew him personally and he said that Brandon was one of the most loving person he had ever met.
watch the movie "greater" .. shows the story pretty well
Trae & Tee it’s an amazing and emotional movie
It is good, but they left out some pretty important things in his personal life like his relationship. That girl was a huge part of his life
It’s a great movie, definitely underrated in sports movie franchises
Yes! That movie really made me cry man
One of my favorite movies
"The walk on who lives on...." It hit me hard when I heard that
not as hard as the semi though
bruh ur going to hell
RIcky Rick why
@Ricky Rick fuckin savage. God daaaaamn
I have never once that “a walk on” is a demeaning phrase. It’s a phrase that I’ve always thought to be more admirable than anything in football. I’ve always thought of walk ons as the hardest working most inspirational people. To me it means more than even being called a gifted star
I've visited his grave. Left a penny on his headstone. From a Missouri Tiger to Razorback nation, and all college football fans, may you always do things "Burls Way"
This guy would run a hill every day right by my house for hours with his brother pushing him and pushing him. He worked his ass off to make it where he did. He had heart
Velix I’m from Harrison too!
IM NOT BUT WOW WHAT A SMALL WORLD
Great example of arkansas worth ethic bo
fishing with nolan gotta have good work ethic when you come from such little. At least that goes for most of arkansas. A lot of small towns, just some good ol boys haha
I remember growing up and hearing his name a lot. Especially in the Youth Center. I was too young to ever understand and when I switched schools to Alpena, I never really heard much else. Now I know. Inspiring.
i live in arkansas, and to this day there’s still posters about him at my school
Never been there going to see movie tonight can u video a pic of the school pics on here?
My heart aches at the tremendous loss and for how many folks he’s inspired.
They still say his name at the games, “Doing it, The Burlsway!” And has his own charity
A true athlete who did it the hard way...may his legacy live forever!!!
Same
"Every year I get to hear Brandons story over and over again" .. right in the feels... :(
His life is true testimony of being a faith walker. His story is incredibly beautiful and inspiring.
I’d love for just one person who did a thumbs down to explain why. I’m serious. This is a tremendous story.
Because it’s not long enough😢
👴
Maybe an Ole Miss fan? Jk - it is sad that someone feels the need to thumbs down this...I like to think they accidentally clicked the wrong one.
Because you're gay
They thought it said “dis i like”.
i grew up on Razorback football. i went to the same high school he did. i was a friend of his. i remember being so proud of him the day he told me he was gonna be a Razorback and play Razorback ball that once i saw him in #77 went out and got that number along with his initials BB tattooed on my left should in Razorback red. every time i look at it it reminds me of the best friend i lost but also the friend who set his mind to be the best Razorback Guard ever. i miss you my friend, my brother. not a day goes by that i dont think about you
Burlsworth has inspired me and millions of others, thank you.
Lol.. It inspired you to watch Pornhub.. You're not going to do Shit... Haaa
ace q fucking asshole
@@2311ification lmao
Theirs 800k veiws
@@2311ification nice projection.
I watched his biopic Greater. Amazing movie. I’m not a sports guy but people like Brandon Bulsworth are inspiring!
The look on his face in each image and video shows the iron clad confidence he had and belief in himself with a silent message of “I’ll show you”
I was wondering why they weren’t showing him then I realized...😢
“Immortality: It is impossible to be unconscious of being unconscious.” True for false? Learn the truth of our consciousness and what it means to us: _go on big picture project . net, read The Present_
Charles Davis what
Charles Davis when you die... guess what you cease being conscious
Well there is a reason its a heartbreaking story.
When they say was 10 times in one sentence thats when you know.
Me: chilling in bed
TH-cam: let’s make him cry
Lol
Lmao! For real thow
Exactly -argh.
Samee
ong🥲
His story is so inspiring. He still to this day touches many of people and helps so many people every single day. He was an angel walking on earth
his movie "greater" really portrays his life perfect, definitely recommend watching
This should've been a damn 30 for 30
Right? Seems like a hugely missed opportunity
At least there was a movie made about him. Greater. It is pretty much the same as what was shown in this video.
It was.
It should be a movie
@@orvillemeadows9923 it was
The people who disliked this video had too many tears from the eyes they couldn't see the other thumbs up button...
Lol
I have no clue how you dislike this video
"Everybody in some aspect of their life thinks they are the walk-on" That is very true
This film more than most deserved a big thumbs up!! Inspirational and well acted by a great cast.
Glad Hunter Renfrow from Clemson won this prestigious award in 2018. He’s a Christian gentleman also.
This one hit hard because I know I’m going to win the Burlsworth Trophy along with many others. True inspiration and I’m extremely excited to make all of my walk-on brothers proud.
me: crying
the guy at the end: "EVERYONE THANK YOU FOR WATCHING"
Man ran a 4.88. Damn he was moving
As a lineman too
My friend played linebacker at Illinois .6’5” ran a 4.6 40.
As an offensive lineman, your job isn't really to show off top speed but it does require good foot work and being able to anchor down.
@A Half Assed Username fastest ol in this years draft was 4.89. it's incredible his speed and ability especially for his era.
@Gee Santini YOUR stupid he was 310 smart ass most REGULAR people cant even run that fast and speed doesnt even really matter just look at tom brady
That’s my cousin. Rest easy Brandon. We miss you🙏🏼
Malachi Gale sorry for your loss. He seemed like an amazing person
Sorry for your loss, man.
Proof
Goofy Goober 420 I’m from Harrison. Brandon was my cousin on my dads side. You can believe me or not. Idk why it matter what you think😂
@@patmoore551 Pat, sometimes the best swimmers drown and the trash washes up. "Goofy" washed-up after the garbage..
His Story made me Cry. Greatest 2016 must watch
What an inspiration, I’m from uk and don’t know about the NFL but I came across this story , tragic but the guy is an inspiration and legend Peace be with you Brandon and your family god bless x
If Brandon Burlsworth were here today, he’d be an nfl all pro multi time pro bowler a super bowl champ and be in the college and pro football hall of fame....hard work does pay off...salute and respect...rip and blessings Brandon burlsworth....
Bryan R. No doubt
Jim Fritz yes indeed
Lol there's a small possibility but its slim. And its odd that you say that when it really doesn't mean shit and there's no real proof since he never played in the NFL
This guy had the motor and motivation. This guy would've been a beast of a lineman.
@@anthonytaing6810 well colts went to playoffs throughout the 2000s and won the superbowl in 2006...He would have contributed greatly to that early 2000 offensive line the colts had. With the team the colts had in the 2000s a offensive lineman like Burlsworth would have only solidified the team further no doubt he would have been a starter we cant say if he'd been a pro bowler or not but I do believe he would have been
I walked on to my college football team, this story inspired me to do so, I may even start next year🤞🏼
Goodluck hope your dreams come true.
What team?
@Jonathan Chiarkas thats good lmao
be sure to go to the ring ceremony
@Jonathan Chiarkas no Kansas 😂😂😂
Yes! He’s gained the respect of his coaching staff and his team mates. Never give up! Never!
This was so sad and heartbreaking to watch. Rest In Peace, Brandon. God bless you.
I'm a grown man and I cried 💔😭😢
Geaux Tigers1991 Same 🙋🏽♂️
Grown men can cry, too. ❤
So, everyone cries
Took about all I had to not

The glasses made him look badass, like in a Michael Douglass "Falling Down" way.
Kurt Rambis of the Lakers wore the same glasses.
He always reminds me of the Hanson brothers.
Made me think of Charlie Sheens baseball pitcher "wild thing".
@cyoungrun1 a 6'3 280lb wall of muscle nerd. I don't think he cared.
@cyoungrun1 No, you care how you look.
Just watched Greater. Brought me to tears. Brandon's faith inspired me forever. God bless you & your family. Rest now your work here is done. We'll see you when we get there. 🙏🏻❤️
I just watched the movie and came to TH-cam for more. An amazing story of determination and being humble. He didn’t get to play but he sure did make it.
04:05 I knew as soon as they started to say Burlsworth was driving....
Me 2 :(

Good job on that. Next week we get the Where's Waldo books out.
@@ironmiron08 ?
Winning the Burlsworth award was the second most rewarding award I’ve ever had the honor of receiving (earning the title of Marine being number 1). When I first heard his story it inspired me to become the best version of me. Despite being 130 pounds in high school I tried my absolute hardest to be the best offensive lineman on the team. I won best offensive lineman junior year and won the Burlsworth award my senior year thanks to the inspiration of the story of Brandon Burlsworth. If you haven’t watched the movie Greater I highly recommend you watch it.
❤💯
Great movie. I'd watch it again
Ya that movie is deff worth watching I've seen it quite a few times had never heard the song I'll fly away until watching that movie
Semper Fi Marine
When did you win it?
Walk on isn't an insult. It's an amazing accomplishment. My grandpa was a walk on at Mississippi State after WW2
My best friend and neighbor growing up walked on to the arkansas football team in the 2006 season, and while being just special teams and practice squad he was a part of the team that won the sec west and got to play for the championship. He had to quit after two years from having his fourth concussion, but he's still got his awesome SEC West Champions ring and has managed to get a PhD.
I have watched the movie about his short life many times on Netflix - “Greater”. It is mostly about his faith in God. Fantastic.
I very much agree. He must have been too good for this world. Touching.
It's free on TH-cam
@TRUMP2020-FOREVER Then God saved him
"Everybody in some aspect of their life thinks they are the walk-on" That is very true
I was at the Colts game when they gave his mom his jersey. There wasn’t a dry eye in the RCA dome that day.
Me too.
Alabama Crimson Tide Of course they give the mom a Jersey since he was going to play but died that’s tradition in any sport involved deaths
@@hotpepper5125 you are an idiot
What are you ten
Heartbreaking - this young man had such potiential both on and off the field.
God bless this family...my heart goes out to you
I remember watching him get drafted in 99, and had never heard of him, but the guy was a freak on the field, I liked his character, wears glasses like me, and seemed very humble, like a guy every team wants. “This was truly unfortunate, unexpected, and the true definition of unfair.”
He probably would’ve won a ring with the colts with peyton
dayv14n definitely, he would have 👍
He worked so hard just to get his life taken away 😭😭. So sad 😞
Cant blame God for that if it wasnt for God you wouldn't be alive i feel sorry for you
@DrinkwithaMexican no need to be disrespectful
Rightz You can’t prove God exists and he can’t prove God doesn’t exist. There’s no point in arguing over it on the internet.
DrinkwithaMexican imagine
@@chrisgregory265 there has to be a pre-existing energy/force/entity that exists in order to create all life. Something cannot just be created from nothing. Therefore there is a life-giving energy that exists that pre-dates time which gives life and takes life. This omnipotent immeasurable entity is GOD.
Now your making me cry about Football. Thank you for this and God Bless the family for there tremendous effort to award others every year in spite of this tragedy.
I swear I watch this 20 times and now I watch it just for the brothers smile it is infectious.
" Greater " is a good movie about Brandon . Highly recommend
tim allen Phenomenal movie
I came to this video after watching that movie.
Got me crying man what a movie
yes beautiful story and inspiring!
Very good movie. Surprised it didn't do better at the box office.
Who else is watching this after watching the movie “Greater” on Netflix❗️

Me . Amazing story inspirational and heartbreaking as well . He would’ve been amazing in NFL blocking for Peyton Manning.
Just popped up now I got to go watch Netflix 😂
Efrain Jaimes me
What an inspirational story. Thank you for sharing his story and sharing your pride with us.
Definitely hit me in the feels. Heart sank into my stomach. Prayers to his friends and family, his memory continues to live within all he has inspired and continues to inspire.
I love how the team gets so hyped when someone gets a scholarship it really shows it’s just more than a game
I just love how The Older Brother wear's "Brandon's Glasses" on his lapel of his coat.....
Always rewatch his stuff I never got to see him play but he’s what I feel is the heart an soul of what makes college football so great.
What an inspiration! I don’t ever cry but this made me tear up! Amazing human being!
Just watched the movie "Greater" the story of Brandon Burlsworth. His life is a testament to doing right out of a desire to do right.
Again like many TH-cam videos I’m just sitting here scratching my head at who are the 447 people that disliked this video. Poor souls
Charlie Graney They probably disliked it because it’s tragic. Not because they don’t like the story.
Obviously 447 feminists that voted Hillary.

@@idk-nw5ym Blame the MSM's influence last 3 years
I think many dislikes are accidental.....you’re scrolling and tap it without even realizing it. I’ve done it on a cowboys youtuber’s channe that I follow. And I love the guy.
God Bless this young man. Such a heartbreaking story.
I’m 29 and I can honestly say after hearing this story I regret not being as dedicated and disciplined as him growing up playying sports i played every sport growing up and wish I heard and was inspired by more stories like this when I played ball god is good for one thing and it is to steer your heart towards the right in life and this story has really touched me if I could go back and know this story I might have worked harder in school and sports A great inspiration to anyone who has a dream it really is sad to hear and see a man with his legacy to lose out on his dream of being in the nfl........ It warms my heart to see him get the recognition he deserved as a hard working righteous man, god bless him and the family that raised him and all who believed In him have spent the last 5 hours of my night reading about him 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 it’s 5 am and couldn’t have spent my time any better. My heart is with his mother and brother 💜
Living far from the states I’ve never heard of Brandon. Now I will never forget his name. Rest In Peace brother
Watch the movie Greater on Netflix about him.
Forgot his name as soon as they mentioned he was a useless athlete.
They only care about themselves.
Useless humans

I think I’ll just take his brothers word over yours. Idiot.
@@dreyrincon yep. It's a shame. JIMBO is trying to be philosophical, but he's a moron.
wow this story really touched my heart. god bless this mans family.
Terribly tragic what happened to such a great, hard-working young man.
Much respect to Brandon & the Burlsworth family.... from a hardcore Alabama fan just outside of Tuscaloosa.
Can we appreciate how good of a brother he is.🥺
Real talk though, just the face with the glasses, he looks like he belongs in a Vietnam war documentary.
dead honest i thought it was about to say he was a veteran who walked on
@@YANILLIONAIRE Me too! I was thinking maybe he was Desert Storm vet that went back to college to fulfill a dream. What an amazing sad yet powerful inspirational story
The draft took innocent children and turned them into traumatized, hard nosed individuals.
@@phillipg1331 That is an incredible generalization. In some cases accurate, in many not.
Yes, he does, he looks military with those glasses. Or he looks like a corporate type. But he also looks quiet, and as others have said here, polite and respectful. We've all met people like this in our lives; they stand out because they mean well in an earnest way and they're not showboats or jokesters, just serious minded and purposeful.
Sad for sure, but yet a great story. Great that a highly motivated young man left a permanent Legacy for others to cherish and follow.
I love that they put his glasses on his trophy. I had a coach that would always call linemen drills hog heaven so I’d like to think Brandon is in hog heaven. Rip big guy
One hell of a football player. Wasn’t given anything, ever. He earned it.
RIP
What a beautiful short historical story...mum and family I'm sure will be so proud...awesome big guy👍👌💞
What an inspiring but tragic story. My heart breaks for his parents. 🙏 R.I.P. Mr. Burlsworth
I love college football
Facts
I would love it, but the ncaa is the most corrupt business in the world‼️
@@tonya3912 Sadly true. I still love it tho.
My dream is to play college football, I don’t really care about the nfl , I just love college football
Harrison Stacy war eagle
Football in harrison revolves around this man. Camps, awards, and the film room is dedicated to him, streets named after him, e.t.c. Truly inspires athletes in harrison even today
He was a special person. A wonderful motivator and example of why doing the right thing when nobody is looking is the Right thing to do. Great Movie.
If you can dream it, you can do it💯 Inspiring man and May he Rest In Peace🙏🏽

From an American Football Fan here in the UK a truly sad and inspirational story.

Respect bless you, all the best for your football team for the season 👍👍💪
ken spedding god bless you
Thanks my man! We sure love our football down here. On my university's football team there is a guy from new zealand who just received a full scholarship to Washington State University. In the end if you have the skill, you'll likely make it if recruiters see you. We lost to UCLA but had a lead of 49 to 17 and then lost 67 to 63. Last week we beat oregon state 54 53 with a last second touchdown. It was great.
Jason Weber I actually enjoy the college games more than the NFL.
I didnt know this story , glad I watched it and now know about this Great young man. Tragic but a great story.
so sad, such a great kid, was gonna be a great man. a man of god at that. god bless this guy and his family.
Legendary College football player
He looks like Drew Carey on the needle.
This is the first time I've ever heard of him. That's amazing. He was a walk-on in Arkansas, made the team and even made it to the NFL. That's proof that determination and hard work can get you anywhere.
Bryon Letterman not only that, but walking the narrow path.. he believed in Jesus as far as I can recall and was committed to keeping in line with His way of life.. from any source I’ve heard.. his character stood out to everyone and set him apart from the crowd. We can all learn a great deal from that mans life. It seems one of the most valuable things he did was truly follow the golden rule.. incredible how profound.. and how simple..
Hey dude you should really watch the movie Greater its about his story and goes into good detail.
I'm sure steroids played their part too.
There’s a movie about him
@@jamesh2711 Steroids? Really? If you had half a clue as to how hard he had to work to get where he did you wouldn't throw around accusations like that.
Wow, what a tragedy. I didn’t know this story. Knowing it now I can’t help but feel increased hope in the people willing to work their tails off to accomplish their dreams. What a man he was.
Just watched this story yesterday. What an amazing young man.
I first heard of Brandon in a book I picked up at a second hand store. And I sat for hours and finished the whole book in one night. Such an insperational story. I have a son playing high school football and made him read the book to inspire him. If Brandon got his chance he would have been a fall of famer.
What’s the book?
Book name?😊
