Someone laced him when he came back to fresno after he was released by the jets and his mind was never the same still one of the Best football players to come out of west Fresno California 💯
I met Cliff on 9/17/11 right after they demolished Missouri state. 56-7 being a defensive minded guy he was my favorite player at the time. I was wearing a custom #13 C. Harris Jersey. He was standing away from everybody at the meet and greet with who I believe was his GF. I wasn't trying to be all annoying and didn't approach him. I'll always remember hearing "Aye, 13 come over here fam" I looked at him like me ? "Yeah you come over here" as I walked over he extended his hand for a Dap then pulled me in for a hug and said "thanks for all the support I feel the love and had to recognize the realest one here" he signed my jersey and gave me his wrist band. We talked for like 10 minutes. I'll always remember that day. #13 will always be special to me.
cliff was such a good dude idk what happened to him. guessing mental health and drugs... as a bunch of my homies have fallen to similar problems but dude was a good dude and i assume he still is a good dude. mental health and drugs will lead to terrible things... i hope dudes doing well.
Kid probably had some childhood trauma and once he tried some substances he realized they helped him cope. Unfortunately drug’s really take a hold of a person in that situation. It’s sad but it’s why we need to do more to help support people in this situation and help them break the cycle for future generations.
He's not a disappointment. He's a young man still. He needs help. Fresno still rocks with you Cliff. Rooting for you. Maybe not a hall of fame player, but he can make a hall of fame comeback in life.
I think one of the things I really had a hard time wrapping my head around until I was probably in my late 30s is how much people get messed up by mental health issues (usually undiagnosed) as well as bad home or environment situations. A bad environment can heavily contribute to all kinds of mental health issues. When you end up with one or both of these things, and don’t have a support system or just people who just think you are an f-up, it’s not going to turn out well. That said I think it’s also up to people to realize their own issues and try to get help with them. So many people just take zero accountability or even take much time to be introspective about how all of the problems they are facing get caused by the choices they make and their own behavior. I say this as someone with plenty of my own incurable issues and struggles, but I do my best to not let it affect others and try my best to be a decent and productive human.
Yep. Ptsd is real. As kids, you dont understand you're being affected as you live it. Like seeing parents fighting or getting bullied etc you dontvl realize it affected you all your life, until wat later in life. And that's if you're lucky enough to see thst you have an issue caused by past trauma. Even just joining a gang and going through fights or having to deal with rivals as a teen, give these kids ptsd. These kids probably join gangs from having ptsd from being bullied or beaten up by the guys in the neighborhood 2 blocks over etc. Many of those kids were good, nerdy kids in grade and middle school, only to turn into stone cold killers once they're in high school. Mental health definitely is way bigger and more ppl have some type of mental health issues then ppl think.
I had both, barely ate, 10 brothers and sisters. We always lived in the same house, the gays were coming out all around us kids. No clothes, sex acts in the streets right in front of us. Yeah we smoked weed, well my siblings did. We went to catholic school, I went onto catholic girls HS. Mommie tried to help me with my home work after working hard at work. But it was in English, Spanish, and Italian. We didn't have it easy. We were clean, always respectful. Never got in trouble. I was molested age 4-12. I'm sure my sisters might have been also. My brother's dodged the priests. I'm 59 now. Mental health what? We never heard of that crap till these past couple of years. This sissy generation. This drugged out generation. All 11 of us never been to jail, we did try drugs like weed beer ciggys. Mommie didn't put up with that crap.
I was seeing for mental health issues and prescribed the wrong meds my entire young adult life. Took one new doctor to switch my meds and everything went right. I can never get back over a decade of my life. So frustrating. Even people who seek help don’t always get it.
Dang Cliff was one of my favorite players when I was young, I remember all the Cliff Harris has better coverage than cell phone company memes smh hate to see him like that. Darron Thomas was the one that said “we smoked it all” when they got pulled over, he was Oregon’s QB.

He might’ve suffered from early onset schizophrenia. MJ has been to trigger that in males, and young males (mid to late teens) in general are more likely to develop schizophrenia than girls at that same age. CTE can only be diagnosed after death. Schizophrenia lines up more with erratic behavior with it being both a separation in thought and action. He might’ve had it before Mj use and MJ probably just accelerated it, if not triggered it completely. Just a theory tho. Wish him the best.
Yes, yes, yes…..to everything you’ve stated here. My Son experienced MJ induced schizophrenia/psychosis his very first time, as a teenager. HOWEVER, even when he stopped, the mental breaks continued.
As a MJ veteran of 40 years, having shared it with innumerable people, it took me a while to accept that it really effs some people up. It seemed so benign to me, which made it hard to relate to people who got sent down a dark cave from it. I went from thinking it works for everyone to being the guy who cautions new users.

I'm going way back, but the best running back in Long Island history was Jim Brown. Jason Gwaltney didn't have the burst that Brian Cushing had over in New Jersey. I saw them both play on TV. Gwaltney was pile driving dudes who you knew weren't going to be major college prime time Saturday players. Cushing played across the Hudson River RB & LB at Ramsey (NJ) Don Bosco Prep against much better competition and showed out. Jason Gwaltney's blocking back; Richard "Scooter" Berry at North Babylon (NY) HS actually had the much better career at West Virginia.
@@howardroy.williamsjr.8695 I graduated from North Babylon in 1996.. we had some great running backs in the 90's and beyond. Barry Baker and Ian Smart as well
I grew up in Eugene and watched the ducks at there peak when he was on the team. Still one of the best athletes I’ve ever seen in person. Hope he’s doing better
Do a guy who was on the opposing team for the national championship in 2010 Michael McNeil. He was a star DB for Auburn, but then he was involved in an armed robbery.
If smoking bud and driving 107 Mph are deal breakers for the NFL, how are there any players? I would venture to guess that if you’re an American male under the age of 55, there’s a distinct possibility that you’ve done both, probably simultaneously, especially in your late teens/early 20’s… I know I have, shit, that’s what there was to do in the mid-90’s unless you were indoctrinated by the G-zus lot, your only social interactions were in the form of extended bouts of uncomfortable silence and your idea of going out was youth group.

Bro I have legitimately never pushed my sedan to 107 on a suburban road or highway because I don't wanna die lol Let alone after I just smoked a bunch, if anything I always followed the rules to a T knowing I was riding dirty
Yea and I’m from the mitten. He’s on our coaching staff currently. He had weird incident in Florida where he fell asleep at the wheel and went into a pond. He ended up being totally sober lol. But it still looked bad. He said he was coming from a long work out. And he a had a chick in the whip. But he got a Natty this year year with is in Ann Arbor 💯💯💯. #GoBlue
Don’t have sh to do with football, this is their personality, there are literally MILLIONS of football players that DONT do these kinds of things!!! Don’t blame a sport that has saved MILLIONS from lives of poverty and crime
That bit from his mom hit pretty hard. We tend to forget that sometimes.. that someone sees everyone as their baby boy or girl and is always rooting for them to overcome whatever struggles theyre going through and are always in their corner. We should do better and try to remember that. Life is tough and we're all just trying to make it the best way we know how. Thanks for including that bit. Shines a different light on the subject. Hopefully this man gets his life together before its too late.
I have to say as a very loyal subscriber, and as any true fan of this channel would know that Matt has already done a video on the story of trevone Boykin it was a about a year ago , just wanted to throw that out there, love your work keep it up !! Look forward to watching your videos every day !!
Do a video on Fred Rouse he was the number 2 recruit at receiver behind Patrick turner and was a five star Edit: Like so we can see the vid or like others that have the same idea
I sympathize with him over the license issue. Once it gets suspended or revoked once you get stopped once for driving on a suspended license it starts a snowball effect. But hes messed up. Is it head injuries? I think the concussions effect some others different. Look at Antonio Brown, he was some what normal until he took that nasty hit in a game when he played for Pittsburgh. He's never been the same and his behavior has been and still is erratic. I'm not blaming the game of football, only because as a player you have to be aware of the possibility that you will end up with a TBI. It's just inevitable and that is a chance you take to try and better yourself and help their families to get out of the poverty. It's Russian roulette
How can you smoke weed and drive that fast? If I smoke I can't even drive 45mph because it feels like im going 100. I would get a ticket for driving too slow if I drove on a freeway high. He looks like a young Rick James in his mug shot.😂
do a vid on THOMAS TYNER ! Played for Oregon and Oregon state ! He was the greatest Oregon HS RB of all time ! Crazy stats . One game had over 650 rushing yards plus 6 TDs the same game.
People always say things like, "all he had to do was a, b, and c" No. You clearly don't understand the pressure from all sides that exists for high-profile student athletes.
As a lions fan I would like to see a story on wide receiver Titus Young. He was a 2nd round pick by the lions but his mental health wasn’t addressed and he was out of the league faster than he came in.
The craziest thing is he had 6 INT’s and 4 punt return TD’s in just FIVE games! Including a INT in the championship game v.s auburn. That’s what made me find this video. Looking through past championship games and seeing the names I remembered through the years. Cliff Harris was definitely one, I remember he was extremely touted after the 2010 season. Like possibly the best CB prospect in the class, crazy he didn’t play in the NFL because what he did in those five games is pretty much unmatched.
Do one on Darron Thomas. I thought he was for sure gonna be a star qb in the nfl. He was the passenger whom u didn’t acknowledge because u probably don’t know him. But he was a heisman candidate back in his day
It pissed me off how he didn’t even acknowledge him in the video for being in the car. If you’re a big college fan, you definitely know the name, especially when you make videos on the topic. Some of these channels mean well, but it seems to be quantity over quality in some instances.
@@judahisrael-wj1yeCool. He still wasn’t a heisman candidate. Baby Brees? Brees was 2x Big Ten OPOY. Thomas wasn’t. Again. He wasn’t even first team all conference. There is a reason he wasn’t drafted. And, no. He wasn’t better than Mariota.
Jealousy Is a hell of a drug, whoever laced , whatever he was drinking was very diabolical, and most definitely envious of this man. Someone wanted him to take a great fall. 😢🙏🏽
@@ETSYUYou missed the point. I didn’t say he never played. I said he wasn’t drafted. You can’t sputter if you aren’t even drafted. But, for the record. He was on a number of teams PRACTICE SQUAD. He was never on an active roster. Johnson was an ok back in college who had 1 very good year and then proceed to decline the next 2, concluding a sub 1k senior year. got a lot of pub from a bowl game and proposal. His numbers were a result of the system. BSU has had a number of backs w similar seasons and ypc. Brock Forsey was offensive player of the year. 26 tds/1500 yards as a senior. Was a 6th round pick of the bears. Lasted two seasons.
I worked at a state mental hospital and he was a patient on the unit I worked on. I would have never known he was even an athlete unless someone showed me a video if his college highlights. He definitely had a problem with smoking way too much herb.
@@NARwarsgalaxy Im from Fresno CA born and raised, I know a lot about this story and unless his weed was laced this has very little to do with weed and if you really worked at a state hospital then you should know that. I believe that most people from this area go to Coalinga hospital so IDK if you are being completely honest but either way. This story is very sad and I always looked up to woo and knew he would make it and then it just started going down hill but either way. He a Fresno legend forsure.
He already did one for Treyvon Boykin, and tyran matthieu is still playing 😂 he just singed a 2 year extension with the saints. He was a key piece of that one Super Bowl team, just had multiple career ending type injuries and was missing the field a lot.
Where was his dad in all of his formative years? Before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and LBJ's welfare state, nearly 75% of black kids were raised in two parent homes. Now the number is only about 25%. Crime, poverty, teen pregnancy, dropout rates all strongly correlate to fatherless homes. The rest of western society has the same problem, but only at a fraction of this rate.
It is 100% a demon (or demons). We deify these young men from early adolescence and wonder why they burn out when their sport doesn’t work out. Yes, there is a major component called PERSONAL CHOICE/RESPONSIBILITY, but we as a society have got to stop glorifying these athletes.
In Chips short tennure as head coach of Oregon, he had some wild player behaviors and suspensions. Chips first game as head coach was the infamous lagarret Blount punch of the boise state player, then this one.
Not them laughing back at the squad car…..Trust me, there was a way to keep it OUT of the news. I mean, for it to make it to the news, someone had to LEAK it. So, it’s a game of pick and choose who gets screwed. Nothing new, especially for young black men.
I went to Dorsey High 09-13 and around that time everybody wanted to go to Oregon 😂💯. Cliff Harris and Black Mamba was all the homies talked about. It’s crazy to see how things turned out for him
Chip let them do whatever they wanted while he was there , let Colt, Deanthony Thomas, Cliff and many others get away with whatever they wanted till the law was involved. The car was a university employee in that original video.
U think that was a crazy oregon downfall story??? Try checking out colt lyerla's downfall story... even worse.. edit: I see u already did.. going to watch now
What about a deep dive story on Len Bias? Not one that leaves the University of Maryland and the NBA unaccountable, they knew what was going on behind the scenes 100%. Im from Md btw and a vaguely remember it when i was a little kid
Schizophrenia dosen't manifest itself until the late teens to early 20 in males! I really don't think it is a CTE issue because cornerbacks really don't have very many high speed collision!
16:45 I'm reminded a lot of Chavo Guerrero's comments on CTE (I'll paraphrase them slightly): We try not to think about the fact we [wrestlers, though any contact sport athlete is included] all have it, and it's going to eventually take a part of, or possibly all of, our personalities and memories from us - some sooner than others. It's hard to say for certain CTE is responsible for his recent decision making - especially since he made some questionable decisions pretty early on in his football career - but it sure feels like this is the case.
Kash Harris!! Can you believe he and TJ McDonald former USC safety occupied the same defense growing up through HS? There was another dude y’all never got to hear about lol but Relando Jefferson. If you wanna look up his highlights from Edison HS.. it was child’s play
Ppl have hard times. Its easy to say he had everything, yada yada, but if your incomplete inside your soul NOTHING will help or work. Its easy to judge ppl and poke fun, but dude was hurting inside from something.
Love your Chanel 💯 you should do a story about the great Maurice clarrett ! Highly sought high school player went in to star at osu, had one of the greatest plays in the championship game when buckeyes threw an interception and he he ran up behind the defender an ripped it back from him , got horrible advice to enter the draft by Jim freaking brown , goes to broncos , gets in s chase from ops with gunz an drugs , then he’s out of sight for while because he got his love together , got sober an has gone on to help an mentor so many young guys to get sober an get there life’s together an sum young guys to get them ready for nfl , I’m telling you his story is movie , thanks. O - H ! We watch u in the 216 ! Thanks
He didn’t get bad advice to enter the draft. He was dismissed from the program. And went to court to be able to be drafted.he hired an agent, so the ncaa wouldn’t let him return to college.
Its a sad story especially being from fresno watching him from edison to Oregon and coining the "natty"..now you can find him on the west side mlk street begging for change its sad
Matt, are you familiar with the Todd Marinovich story. If not,you are in for a crazy ride. A kid who was raised by his former NFL playing father to be the perfect specimen of an athlete/Quarterback. His father was basically the sports version of the worst "Stage Mom" there ever was. Thank you bud, for all your entertaining and informative videos and the hellaciously hard work you put into your channel. Peace. 😊

Don’t have sh to do with football, this is their personality, there are literally MILLIONS of football players that DONT do these kinds of things!!! Don’t blame a sport that has saved MILLIONS from lives of poverty and crime
@@bryandungee1029Damn. What a melt.
Millions. Lol
Nah he's just your typical thug
@@chez0788make your comment make sense
I don’t think people understand how concussions f up ur brain.
“My names Cliff Harris, and I’m here to lock shit down”
That bit from his mom hit pretty hard. We tend to forget that sometimes.. that someone sees everyone as their baby boy or girl and is always rooting for them to overcome whatever struggles theyre going through and are always in their corner. We should do better and try to remember that. Life is tough and we're all just trying to make it the best way we know how. Thanks for including that bit. Shines a different light on the subject. Hopefully this man gets his life together before its too late.
I have to say as a very loyal subscriber, and as any true fan of this channel would know that Matt has already done a video on the story of trevone Boykin it was a about a year ago , just wanted to throw that out there, love your work keep it up !! Look forward to watching your videos every day !!
Do a video on Fred Rouse he was the number 2 recruit at receiver behind Patrick turner and was a five star
Edit: Like so we can see the vid or like others that have the same idea
I remember seeing those wrs names in a recruiting book past 20 years ago
I sympathize with him over the license issue. Once it gets suspended or revoked once you get stopped once for driving on a suspended license it starts a snowball effect. But hes messed up. Is it head injuries? I think the concussions effect some others different. Look at Antonio Brown, he was some what normal until he took that nasty hit in a game when he played for Pittsburgh. He's never been the same and his behavior has been and still is erratic. I'm not blaming the game of football, only because as a player you have to be aware of the possibility that you will end up with a TBI. It's just inevitable and that is a chance you take to try and better yourself and help their families to get out of the poverty. It's Russian roulette
CTE is unreal. It's happening to so many people you'll never know the name of. I'm one of them
A friend of mine had a shirt after this incident that just said, “we smoked it all”.
Duck fan, thanks for covering Harris. Appreciate getting updates on former Ducks.
How can you smoke weed and drive that fast? If I smoke I can't even drive 45mph because it feels like im going 100. I would get a ticket for driving too slow if I drove on a freeway high. He looks like a young Rick James in his mug shot.😂
Omg same 😂 45 feels like 100 and I’m convinced one of the tires may be flat
Not all weed functions the same
For instance a hybrid strain of weed could allow you to do exactly that while absolutely faded
@@AYAKXSHINot at all bro lol
@@imronburgundy69 yes it can Ive done it
Lmaoo brah I’m the same I be driving super careful and safe and still be hella paranoid ima get pulled over 😂
The fact that the cops were so joyful about this is interesting..mad cause your just basic so you take joy in this young man decline.
Oregon State fans
As freshman Cliff Harris said in a team meeting, my name is Cliff Harris and I'm here to shut shit down. So epic.
Suppsedly coined the term natty
do a vid on THOMAS TYNER ! Played for Oregon and Oregon state ! He was the greatest Oregon HS RB of all time ! Crazy stats . One game had over 650 rushing yards plus 6 TDs the same game.
Busted up his shoulder at Oregon.
People always say things like, "all he had to do was a, b, and c"
No. You clearly don't understand the pressure from all sides that exists for high-profile student athletes.
Colt lyerla Stand out Oregon Tight end was a complete beast. Would love to see one done on him.
He did one
As a lions fan I would like to see a story on wide receiver Titus Young. He was a 2nd round pick by the lions but his mental health wasn’t addressed and he was out of the league faster than he came in.
I thought CTE could not be diagnosed? Is there a medication specifically for it or was it something to control a symptom ?
We gonna hit a Milli Subs before Football Season!!
LETS GO MATT!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
The craziest thing is he had 6 INT’s and 4 punt return TD’s in just FIVE games! Including a INT in the championship game v.s auburn. That’s what made me find this video. Looking through past championship games and seeing the names I remembered through the years. Cliff Harris was definitely one, I remember he was extremely touted after the 2010 season. Like possibly the best CB prospect in the class, crazy he didn’t play in the NFL because what he did in those five games is pretty much unmatched.
Do Fred rouse bro he could’ve been the next randy
STOP IT!!! Moss was 6’4 and ran a 4.25 with a 47” vert… they were never in the same GALAXY!!!
@@bryandungee1029 yeah but he was being compared to him in highschool
Thanks for spreading my idea
@@Goldproduz I’m in tally that’s all I hear about is the wr that cursed Bobby out
What happened to Jeff Demps I know he went to Florida remember playing against dude in high school he was super fast
Dear God he did all the drugs! I'm an addict in recovery, and I will tell you, this man did all the drugs!
Do ah video on Maurice Clarret former OSU start running back!!
That’s my cousin I don’t wanna see a video done on him that shit is crazy
@@VonDaGreat1 are you capping
@@VonDaGreat1Me either Mo is doing great!! It is what it is! He’s on my favorite sports show now
@@VonDaGreat1
So what 😅😂
Do one on Darron Thomas. I thought he was for sure gonna be a star qb in the nfl. He was the passenger whom u didn’t acknowledge because u probably don’t know him. But he was a heisman candidate back in his day
He was never a heisman candidate. Hell, he wasn’t even first team all pac 12.
It pissed me off how he didn’t even acknowledge him in the video for being in the car. If you’re a big college fan, you definitely know the name, especially when you make videos on the topic. Some of these channels mean well, but it seems to be quantity over quality in some instances.
@@jamespohl-md2eq he was baby drew brees. He was the best qb too run that old school no huddle Oregon style offense under chip kelly
@@judahisrael-wj1yeCool. He still wasn’t a heisman candidate.
Baby Brees? Brees was 2x Big Ten OPOY. Thomas wasn’t. Again. He wasn’t even first team all conference. There is a reason he wasn’t drafted.
And, no. He wasn’t better than Mariota.
Dude I also thought he was gonna be in the league. He was so good led them to the natty
Jealousy Is a hell of a drug, whoever laced , whatever he was drinking was very diabolical, and most definitely envious of this man. Someone wanted him to take a great fall. 😢🙏🏽
Please do TJ vasher
Hey Matt, love the videos I have been watching for years now. You should do a video on Florida State Player Kelvin Benjamin
Lol did not expect you to make this video of Cliff Harris 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Yo did @MattBeGreat already cover former Arkansas Razorback QB Matt Jones who also hooped on the basketball team too?? 🐘🏈
Do Ian Johnson from Boise. Dude was tough in college but like sputtered and disappeared in the league
He wasnt drafted. Lol
@@jamespohl-md2eq he literally played for the Vikings I wanna say in 09.
@@ETSYUYou missed the point. I didn’t say he never played. I said he wasn’t drafted.
You can’t sputter if you aren’t even drafted. But, for the record. He was on a number of teams PRACTICE SQUAD. He was never on an active roster.
Johnson was an ok back in college who had 1 very good year and then proceed to decline the next 2, concluding a sub 1k senior year. got a lot of pub from a bowl game and proposal.
His numbers were a result of the system. BSU has had a number of backs w similar seasons and ypc.
Brock Forsey was offensive player of the year. 26 tds/1500 yards as a senior. Was a 6th round pick of the bears. Lasted two seasons.
I worked at a state mental hospital and he was a patient on the unit I worked on. I would have never known he was even an athlete unless someone showed me a video if his college highlights. He definitely had a problem with smoking way too much herb.
what state hospital did you work at? and this has nothing to do with weed.
@@thecontroversy7914 I worked at Atascadero State Hospital. I can't get into details but weed 100% played a part.
@@NARwarsgalaxy Im from Fresno CA born and raised, I know a lot about this story and unless his weed was laced this has very little to do with weed and if you really worked at a state hospital then you should know that. I believe that most people from this area go to Coalinga hospital so IDK if you are being completely honest but either way. This story is very sad and I always looked up to woo and knew he would make it and then it just started going down hill but either way. He a Fresno legend forsure.
I think LaMichael James, Kejon Barner, Treyvon Boykin, Braxton Miller, and Honeybadger would all make for good videos
Honeybadger led a defense to a Super Bowl win clown. What are you saying
@@mmi4745 exactly
He already did one for Treyvon Boykin, and tyran matthieu is still playing 😂 he just singed a 2 year extension with the saints. He was a key piece of that one Super Bowl team, just had multiple career ending type injuries and was missing the field a lot.
@@mmi4745he’s still playing too 😂
Where was his dad in all of his formative years? Before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and LBJ's welfare state, nearly 75% of black kids were raised in two parent homes. Now the number is only about 25%. Crime, poverty, teen pregnancy, dropout rates all strongly correlate to fatherless homes. The rest of western society has the same problem, but only at a fraction of this rate.
It is 100% a demon (or demons). We deify these young men from early adolescence and wonder why they burn out when their sport doesn’t work out. Yes, there is a major component called PERSONAL CHOICE/RESPONSIBILITY, but we as a society have got to stop glorifying these athletes.
so is he ok now ?
Lawrence Phillips has to have one of these videos made .... Don't you think so ?
His baby cousin used to go to my middle school I remember him coming by at his peak. That's crazy and sad
Darron Thomas said we smoked it all. Darron Thomas was the qb and star of the team.
In Chips short tennure as head coach of Oregon, he had some wild player behaviors and suspensions. Chips first game as head coach was the infamous lagarret Blount punch of the boise state player, then this one.
Can you story on Tony bike QB from Cincinnati bearcats what’s happened to him he was a projected 1st round pick
Not them laughing back at the squad car…..Trust me, there was a way to keep it OUT of the news. I mean, for it to make it to the news, someone had to LEAK it. So, it’s a game of pick and choose who gets screwed. Nothing new, especially for young black men.
I went to Dorsey High 09-13 and around that time everybody wanted to go to Oregon 😂💯. Cliff Harris and Black Mamba was all the homies talked about. It’s crazy to see how things turned out for him
There is definitely not anybody home in that mugshot compared to the other picture.
That’s not his highlights, that’s Dakota fields from Serra highschool highlights lol
Sad!!!😢
Chip let them do whatever they wanted while he was there , let Colt, Deanthony Thomas, Cliff and many others get away with whatever they wanted till the law was involved. The car was a university employee in that original video.
I used to wait just to watch him and number 2 DB 2010, 2011 dam bro you had a promise NFL LIFE CHANGING CAREER MILLION OF DOLLARS 😞 😢
Being from Fresno I know this guy personally and it’s sad how the drugs got him down pray for him
U think that was a crazy oregon downfall story??? Try checking out colt lyerla's downfall story... even worse.. edit: I see u already did.. going to watch now
What about a deep dive story on Len Bias? Not one that leaves the University of Maryland and the NBA unaccountable, they knew what was going on behind the scenes 100%. Im from Md btw and a vaguely remember it when i was a little kid
Schizophrenia dosen't manifest itself until the late teens to early 20 in males! I really don't think it is a CTE issue because cornerbacks really don't have very many high speed collision!
Your correct and may be onto something
You should do one on Jeremiah Masoli his previous teammate and also Carrington
16:45 I'm reminded a lot of Chavo Guerrero's comments on CTE (I'll paraphrase them slightly): We try not to think about the fact we [wrestlers, though any contact sport athlete is included] all have it, and it's going to eventually take a part of, or possibly all of, our personalities and memories from us - some sooner than others. It's hard to say for certain CTE is responsible for his recent decision making - especially since he made some questionable decisions pretty early on in his football career - but it sure feels like this is the case.
Mountain Cody from Alabama. What happened video please.
Kash Harris!! Can you believe he and TJ McDonald former USC safety occupied the same defense growing up through HS? There was another dude y’all never got to hear about lol but Relando Jefferson. If you wanna look up his highlights from Edison HS.. it was child’s play
Broke into a party supply store? Looks like he was high from inhaling adhesive spray.
Straight trash ray Charles could that young man had some type of mental health issue
His INT in the Natty was insane. You will never convince me he didnt make that catch and get his elbow in bounds.
Do Boykin tcu coming from a seahawk fan
Can you do one on miles Austin
You should do Antonio Allen. Was a huge HS prospect and Big 10 Freshman of the year
Do a video on Aaron Sparrow, he was the #1 ranked QB coming out of high school.
Ppl have hard times. Its easy to say he had everything, yada yada, but if your incomplete inside your soul NOTHING will help or work. Its easy to judge ppl and poke fun, but dude was hurting inside from something.
What about the other guy in the car?
Bro, you didn’t give me a shout out on this. I literally comment this on like all your videos that’s crazy.
6:39 yoooooooooOOOOOOOOO is that the Colt dude in the background?? 😅matrix shyte
Can you please talk about Rakeem Cato?
Love your Chanel 💯 you should do a story about the great Maurice clarrett ! Highly sought high school player went in to star at osu, had one of the greatest plays in the championship game when buckeyes threw an interception and he he ran up behind the defender an ripped it back from him , got horrible advice to enter the draft by Jim freaking brown , goes to broncos , gets in s chase from ops with gunz an drugs , then he’s out of sight for while because he got his love together , got sober an has gone on to help an mentor so many young guys to get sober an get there life’s together an sum young guys to get them ready for nfl , I’m telling you his story is movie , thanks. O - H ! We watch u in the 216 ! Thanks
He didn’t get bad advice to enter the draft. He was dismissed from the program. And went to court to be able to be drafted.he hired an agent, so the ncaa wouldn’t let him return to college.
Those football head injuries are no joke
Its a sad story especially being from fresno watching him from edison to Oregon and coining the "natty"..now you can find him on the west side mlk street begging for change its sad
You did a store about the Oregon tight end also 🤔man what the hell is in there water bottles out there ,that there players go cashews lol
You should do one on Jeremiah Masoli his previous teammate and also Carrington ❤
didn’t even know cliff harris went to my highschool, bro was definitely tapn pens in the bathrooms at Edison Highschool💀
@mattbegreat do one in gerod holliman , bo Wallace or Chad Kelly
He went to a diddy party
U wild asl 💀 😂😂
You sound dumb trying to be funny
When Off The RAILS 😮SUSPECT IN THE 1ST BUT NOBODY NEW😢
His mother is blaming nonexistent demons for her son's inability to control himself. He couldn't possibly be the product of poor parenting.
Matt, are you familiar with the Todd Marinovich story. If not,you are in for a crazy ride. A kid who was raised by his former NFL playing father to be the perfect specimen of an athlete/Quarterback. His father was basically the sports version of the worst "Stage Mom" there ever was. Thank you bud, for all your entertaining and informative videos and the hellaciously hard work you put into your channel. Peace. 😊
