Hahah 😂
*”I’m a big dude, I’m not that fast. I want to be able to go fast.”*
Every lineman felt that.
Elian Suarez trench mob 😔
5.15 in the 40 yrd dash.... for a 330 lbs man is freaky fast tbf.
@@davidcanas1142 Im 340 and run it in 5.5 thats quick.
Man as Rugby Prop Foward(Almost equal to a lineman) felt that hard.
Elian Suarez 💯🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude spends only 15% to himself and everything else to his family. GOALS
House cars trip and clothes. I think thats what most sensible people do.
Hard to actually belive he bought everything he ever wanted or needed for just a million $, makes you think about the billionares, you literally have so much money you dont have anything to spend it on anymore.
@@Omgiamsotriggered and even some of that stuff is redundant. Traveling and shows would be all left for me once i had home(s) cars and maybe a boat. Not a flashy dude so clothes would be meh. How do you maintain multiple residences or an island...an island. Maybe when i was younger
Omg I am so triggered but
1billion and you wouldn’t have to do nothing for the rest of your life, you could maintain your whole family tree 💰 😴
@@revit4909 makes you think about people with 150 billion
Will Hernandez is one of the coolest players in the league. Met him after a pre-season game, a bunch of people were waiting to meet players and he stood took pictures and signed for every single person waiting. Security tried to push people away and he told security he wanted to stay and talk and sign for people. Your the man Will!!!
mikecip2311 sweet
That’s awesome
Jack Bonney gotta get his jersey!
Definitely a fan of his now, what a guy he seems like the type to do that just based on this whole interview and what he spent his money on lol
Ayyyy 1,100th like
No idea who this guy is but he seems like a good dude.
Normal most ppl dont care about o.line
Johnny25k on the Giants
If u don’t know will u don’t know NY Giants football
Johnny25k he’s an average guard. Not great but is decent
Tyrone Savage yeah but he’s young so as I giants fan I hope he steps up his game this year
It's nice to hear this guy say 4k is expensive even if he's making millions of dollars..he knows the value of his money..
We went to the same college :)
Dude spends only 15% to himself and everything else to his family. GOALS
He's made money in hard way. That's why.
Don't know this guy, but he is super likeable.
exactly how i feel, he feels so "normal" compared to european sports stars I know.
@@cyjan3k823 his attitude about spending money is so relatable for me. Spend some and have a good time, but not more than is necessary just to show off.
trust, I didn't know who he was before this but i f/w him heavy now.
Marek, this guy is an offensive lineman for the New York giants NFL team
her respects his Fam and he is respected by his fam back (10k and he was letting mom and sis shop in Hawaii?? WTF GG ladies you got my respect there)
Im British, I dont watch any NFL stuff but i like this guy. He's humble and genuine. Cool guy.
can someone translate what he said for me?

Mr C not as much as everyone else
he said BIDET foo - pay attention : )
@@aliali-ce3yf A bidet is a toilet foo.
He bought 3 cars. Lol.
When he said he still shopped at Burlington, I almost shed a tear at the humbleness. This dude is solid all around.
He only spent that much money on nice clothes because the NFL requires them to dress nice for events and certain interviews.
His parents def. raised him right
you almost shed a tear about a guy being humble online wow
Burlington is lit
This guy is set during the pandemic
Hahahahahaha
HHAHAAHAHAHAAH FACTS XD
Will “it’s an investment” Hernandez 🤣😂
Seth Smith Not really...... Can’t even buy a roll of toilet paper!!😱
Good man he sounds like a top lad
I dunno why but the moment he opened his mouth and how nice he seemed, you knew he managed his money well. Or maybe OL people are more down to earth than RB or WR or DB's?
King Kang they don’t get the attention that skill positions get. No ones going up asking for autographs or pictures. Most important part of an offense but almost no one cares about them.
OL and QBs usually score highest on the NFL wonderlic (IQ) test
they are usually some of the smartest players on the team.
King Kang yuh. For sure
Why you gotta put down RB and WR?
bro i helped this dude in Vegas at my Sprint store and didn’t even know he was a professional athlete 😭
Bro that was his dad not him. im you're friend Jake . I was at your store while his dad came
100 Cents no he came with his 2 friends in his GTR, he’s came with his dad as well but last i helped him he needed a new iPhone cause his wouldn’t turn on anymore
Seems like a down to earth guy
@@sanchezsaul562 ok but gtr only has 2 seats but you said he came with his 2 friends and his dad🤔
100 Cents all i said was that his dad came as well, not that they came together.

@Robin Vyas investing in good memories. Not everything has to be material, sometimes good food or a good vacation is better than an item.
I can only imagine how many tacos a soon-to-be professional lineman was eating
Easy ten a sitting lol
But that taco lady is amazing
He ate $600+ tacos.
600k

SO to GQ S for encouraging these athletes to tell more of their story, instead of just this 100k went to this, this 100k went to that. Good coverage. The taco story was dope.
Blue Suit Reviews El Paso is really cool like that. Especially to our college football team. I’m grateful to play at Utep and Will is just as humble in person and so are many of the people of El Paso.
Well at least he can afford a taco unlike millions of others right now!

there is no way that a bidet costs 4.5k. Here in argentina you can literally buy one for 50 US dollars.

@@matiascalles8009 its propably like one of those japanese toilets not like the type you plug into the wall and use whit your hand.
For 4.5k that's definitely another (porcelain) fixture next to the toilet with separate piping and whatnot.
He seems super humble and it’s so respectable. Strong family roots, make it big, first priority take care of family.
Also mad respect for paying off taco debt! What an amazing sweet lady to just feed the neighbor kid with a huge appetite.

Hard to believe he's only 24. Dude's a beast.
When he said he bought an Infinity Gauntlet, I was like, "Yup, best investment."
Will Hernandez: It’s an investment
Omzi my same mindset
Infinity Gauntlet for 1k lool INVESTMENT
@@juanlopez8525 that's called a "you'll be broke soon" investment.
It’s called a you can’t take it with you investment lol, he said he was saving as high as 70% of his funds, he’ll be just fine
Some of you guys underestimate the appreciation on collectibles
Great guy I’d rather have these types of guys on here then the big names
nah, I like seeing people blow 90% of their rookie contracts on cars and clothes. It's good for the economy
Grant Smith thank you I didn’t realize
Jolted Insanity bro shut up your like 12 w your call of duty profile pic. You like watching other people spend there money cause you got none lmao
I'm his 666 comment
@Braydon Lankston why would you encourage people (even successful ones) to spend stupid amounts on unnecessary things at the beginning. If you earn much but spend much it can also backfire af. Gotta use your brain and invest in the beginning.
Bro, he needs to shout out his barber because his fade is so clean! Also what a genuine good dude. Taking care of his family, humble and still having fun with it all
2019: why will you buy a toilet to use without toilet paper ?
2020: smart purchase !
an investment!
It’s an investment
Epic
Don't even no who this guy is but seems like a really genuine kind hearted guy
O lineman for the giants. Really talented kid
Will: "investment"
also Will: "3k on sushi is an investment"
well offensive linemen have to keep their weight up
Mental investment for memories. It’s different 😹
Food is an investment
Memories with luv ones priceless

Seems like a genuine, humble guy. So nice to see out of professional athletes these days.
Will seems to have a good head on his shoulders unlike a lot of rookies.
He isnt a rookie lol hes heading into his 3rd year
Dee Hoodie Well this was how he spent his first 1M... which he did as a rookie.
I think buying a car for your siblings is like one of the best feelings ever.
You’re saying that like you’ve done it before 😂
@@dank3019 i didnt but if Id have the money for I will.
@sneksnekitsasnek It's his immediate family, how is that too many other people? He was born in a good and loving household and he's just trying to provide for them like they tried to provide for him.
@sneksnekitsasnek Maybe how that's how your family is like, but not everyone is like that
@sneksnekitsasnek and you were never loved lol
I like that he takes his family along, family is forever
This man spent more on investments and gifts than anything else.
what a guy
Edit: I didn't mean to start a controversy over whether a house is an investment, he used the term investment himself. It's not just the house that he called an investment (or not an investment.) :)
Investments? What investments? There are no investments listed!
Pwnzistor Investments for the memory!
@@Pwnzistor 3:08
*economy goes into recession*
@@Pwnzistor Pretty sure a house is an investment. It doesn't disappear once you're done with it. Wether its a good investment is something else.
I'm a Giants fan and he seemed to be such a nice guy, but now I know he's a great person too.
Lets hope he develops the way another 2nd round guard for big blue did(Coughlins 2x All-Pro son in law)
This guy is so down to earth man he deserves every penny for being a genuine person and a beast on the line
Clean White Shirt, Clean beard and Fresh Haircut. Humble and Nice, You know his Moma raised him well! Respect
i love how he took his family everywhere with him
Sage Coyote XX Mexican bro
When you're latino if you get rich you definitely wanna spoil your family
I had a stroke trying to read if the title was how will he spend it or how will spent it
I was so confused with it as well.. Will? Spent? Sorry are we talking future tense or past tense here guys?

You still need TP to pat dry once it's done.
@@BRBallin1 maybe he use a towel 😆
Manwell Rnegron that’s what I do lmao
My favorite episode so far. I wish this guy well. Seems like a good dude and i love the rookie offensive linemen/quarterback dinner story
I love how loving hispanics are in terms of their family. Their culture will always be appreciated
When he stops playing football, he'll be financially set... He's very conscientious of how he spends his money... Good stuff Will!!!
@David Fernandez you can't help but to just like this guy!
His first purchase looked odd then, but he definitely won out in the end because we all need toilet paper now and he’s chillin.

Vladimir Nutin that was such a sad attempt to make a joke. I bet your imaginary friends thought it was funny tho.
He bought a house so his family won’t have to pay no more rent. Respect I’ll love to do the same!
You still have to pay property tax every year
That’s better then parking rent every month and knowing that house is not yours
@@migueljimenez2033 Yeah that's true, but if you think about it, your still technically paying rent, it's just called something different and if you don't pay it then you lose your house.
SP you so know property taxes is way lest then rent and you pay is once a year
SP are you taking about mortgage? What state do you live in?
As an Asian dude, nobu is soooo overrated.
Honestly, dude is so humble.
Yes it is. It’s just a name at this point
Totally agree, its just a name and some hype. Lot of better whole in the wall spots I feel like.
I feel like justifying your taste in food w your ethnicity is a little weird
@@jmc3461 lol, like those that hate on Panda Express or other Americanized Asian restaurants.
Junior Crime Breakers nah i mess with those restaurants too. I guess what im trying to justify is that the price you pay over the value. Nobu’s great! Its just more costly for something you can get at an independent restaurant for a fraction of the price.
Finally I found a mexican american who plays pro football
Sly Ny isn’t he American Mexican since he was born here?
@@Eminemfan-mb4qk well you see it goes like this. To me if both your parents are born in Mexico and you're born in the USA I'd say you're Mexican American.

He’s legit like a responsible child buys some toys and saves the rest of his lunch money
"she was just feeding me at this point" JAJAJAJA
He reminds me of that cool senior who gets along with everybody, even the freshmen.
He’s very smart and wise with money, 70% of saving is very smart.
@Ben Roux He spent a mil in the video, and it said he was paid 7 million. He will also make many more millions throughout his career, it's safe to say it will be easy to save 70% if he wants to.
@ nope that's only cost 200 bucks, he bought the high end one and that's not an investment at all, such a waste of money
@Ben Roux Where did it indicate in the video that he spent $1M down to zero? What he showcased was a fraction of his actual net worth. It sounds like he has the right idea about being mindful about the income that's coming in and that it will one day stop outside of the 70/30 he mentioned. That's better than most professional athletes, let alone those on a rookie deal. He's got a good head on his shoulders.
Ok ben
Made 7 million but half of it goes away in tax money, one million spent on liabilities which only costs more money on maintenance insurance etc. plus he doesn’t make millions on advertisements like you claim
He seems so much cooler than tyler herro
Nicks Kicks Herro seems like a tool... people have a double standard, idk why anyone thinks he’s cocky but always rag on Kyrie for a lot less
