Randy Moss lost his scholarship to Notre Dame for a high school fight. He then got kicked out of Florida St for smoking weed. But he did make it work at Marshall and had one of the most ridiculous statistical WR years in college history.
Talent-wise, he was arguably the best quarterback that was ever showcased on Last Chance U, and he had a really high football IQ, but his unwillingness to be coachable is what came back to bite him in the ass.

Yeah I think his Dad had a lot to do with it, just in high school I think he played for 3 or 4 different high schools. That’s a sign of his dad shopping him around.
I played in high school with him for a year can confirm dude wasn’t allowed to be a normal kid. He was treated like a quasi celebrity and on top of that wasn’t aloud to date go out with friends or anything that wasn’t related to sports… it was to the point that he missed out on going to our teams end of season celebration party one of the parents had thrown for us… he literally was the only kid not there… imagine that being your life for 4+ years and then your thrown in the lime light… idk about y’all but if that was me I may be acting like a douche too…
It’s understandable that someone wouldn’t put maximum effort into a sport they really didn’t want to play. It’s entirely another thing to treat everyone and anyone like dirt. Plenty of people struggle with addiction and depression, but they don’t go around acting like a self absorbed drama queens. He simply lacks character and integrity.
Yeah he really didn’t want to play football his father made him, he loved baseball way more, I know he is rude but I think people forget how young he was/is he was like 19 that’s old enough to make choices but at that age your still very immature and still finding yourself…add the fact his home issues he’s gonna point that anger somewhere

Question: What happened to Malik Henry? Answer: Malik Henry happened to Malik Henry. Extremely immature. Constantly blaming everyone and everything else other than himself. Arguing with teammates and coaches. None of that has anything to do with his father making him play football. That is his CHARACTER and his CHARACTER was absolute nuclear garbage.
Coach brown was the worst coach ever, didn’t have plays ready, put the players down meantally and never prepared for games. Just look at the team’s record when Malik was there (9-2) vs when he left (1-10). Why u think brown was coaching juco in the first place? Ik some thing Malik did wasn’t right but most was justified based off his situation and the people he was surrounded by. Stop hating bruh y’all don’t even take the time to look into shit, plus ofc Netflix is going to only show the BAD considering it brings more viewers and ratings
@sevsantana1940 so who was the problem at Florida State and everywhere else he failed? Pretty weird how no matter where he goes he fails but apparently it's all Jason Brown's fault 🤷♂️
@sevsantana1940 ha! Yeah the team went 9-2 but Malik didn't play all 11 games. He went 7-2 as the qb but he was terrible. He completed 54% of his passes for 10 tds and 8 ints that year. In his Independence career he completed 52% of his passes for 11 tds and 11 ints in 12 games. He was absolute trash
@@sevsantana1940 agree JB isn’t the coach he thinks he is, but Malik isn’t as good as he thinks he is. Should have been dominating at JUCO level and he wasn’t. There’s a reason JB isn’t coaching now and Malik isn’t playing, let that sink in.
At the end of the day every man is human. In life he could have messed up a million times. People never talked about the come back even if its the 11th time doing so. Still was a show favorite and still rocking wit Malik till this day
I felt the same as everyone else but after hearing about his dad i have a little more sympathy for him. However you are always in control of you therefore you can choose not to be an a*shole
It's honestly sad, dude was a great athlete. I was one of the people who actually liked him, I wish he wouldn't have wasted his opportunity to grow though.
My new high school football coach talked about him and he made a bad decision and my coach said you work together as a team. Kid said no and now he's in prison for the rest of his life
Imo having that attitude stems from how you were raised. Seems like Malik always had tension with his dad and probably lashes out to everyone else around him because he feels like he can’t do that to his dad
So my bro played the same year he was on the team. Malek was a coke head and he came to practice high every other day. Boy argued with his qb coach every meeting.
FSU fan here. That was the rumor (not really a rumor though if you know what I mean) when he was in Tallahassee. I followed his recruiting as well because he was a special talent. The true FSU recruiting insiders stated all the red flags all over. From transferring to IMG Academy and abruptly leaving and so much more. In the end they were correct.
As a FSU fan, I remember Malik Henry. I also watched Last Chance U. Yes, he was very unlikeable. But, as a parent, I saw something very sad about him. It was like he was depressed AND angry. His parents definitely should have got him some extensive counseling. And if he was actually using drugs, it was probably to cope with depression. There was definitely something deeper going on with this young man.
Well, i can't speak for your experience with your son. And maybe anytime your son was suspended for 'violation of team rules' it was because of banned substances(& i mean no offense). But that certainly doesnt represent every player who was suspended for violation of team rules. It's generally just used as a catch all term by coaches to spare the player/team/staff the embarrassment of explaining specificities to the public/press.
Oh man rattler was the WORST teammate in high school. He prolly still is a shitty teammate now. I wouldn’t be surprised. Dude think he’s the best qb in the world but he’s just extremely overrated.
Its easy to say If my dad did that I would tell him...... No telling how badly he wanted a Dad, how he saw him coming back into his life, or what he was seeking. Wont judge him for interactions with his father as a young guy. His personal interactions with people came from a place of arrogance and no respect. Having a horrible father does not create that mentality.
Plot twist: Malik's teammates actually loved being around him. Another one: Coach JB and Malik remain good friends today. Don't believe everything you see on Netflix
The whole violation of team rules thing not leaking out isn't all that surprising look at another Netflix football star, Spencer Rattler, has anyone actually found out what happened to get him to miss the remainder of that season?
If you watch last chance u you would know he got kicked off of Florida State cause he wouldn’t go to class. There were also episodes in last chance u when they were on his behind cause he wouldn’t go to class
I'm good friends with a guy that was booted off a JUCO Baseball, JUCO Basketball, and TWO DIFFERENT college football teams. But he had a lot of fun and tons of life experience.
Matt I live in Illinois, I love my Illini, but hey your videos are fantastic and great for life lessons. I will say you are absolutely correct on how to be a great player and not just an elite athlete. Hard Work and focus makes all the difference because it will translate into success later even if one never goes pro.
Unfortunately I'm a recovered addict that had a problem with zannys and pain pills after a bad car accident. The drugs made me depressed because I knew I was doing wrong. I was scared of the withdrawals but it never made me cocky. I think that's a personality problem this kid has. Drugs just ruined him but he would have been a punk regardless
I don’t know you but I am a addict in recovery as well. Please hang in there and make sure you have a good hobby to keep busy…I game a lot and try to give my 5 year old son better. If you ever need someone to talk to just let me know
@@adamkostowicz7289 Thank you very much and bless you and your son. I'm doing very well, I work 10-12 hr per day 5 days a week.

I should have said recovering in my prior comment instead of recovered because I am an addict and I believe you are always one and it's up to the person to get clean and stay clean. You are very kind for your words and the offer for a voice if I need it. I hope the absolute best for you and child. Thanks again friend, Allen J, CBus Ohio. 🙏
If he was that good at football for that long.. He most likely had people telling him that his whole life and he thought he was a god amongst people. So when someone told him he was doing something wrong, he would take it the wrong way. Not everything is someone elses fault someone turned out how they are. His dad sounded like he was in it trying to catch the gravy train, hopefully he turns his life around and can take criticism.
Dude just seemed to me, like a rich kid (no idea if he was or not) who’s parents paid a bunch of coaches and trainers in high school to tell him he’s the best there is and when he got to Florida state he was expected to work for and earn his spot and he thought he was above that.
Dude transfered in high school from Westlake HS in the LA area to Long Beach Poly his Sr year but later became ineligible and cost his team a shot of the playoffs.. I didn't like him from then on
Lol... why would he be desperately trying to play football literally anywhere that will take him if he doesn't like football and doesn't want to play? He's 24, failed at football the last 6+ years and he's still trying to play? Pretty sure he wants to play.
Yeah Coach brown tried to point this kid in the right direction. But you could tell he thought he was better than everyone there and Juco was beneath him. Instead of using the opportunity to grow as a player, he chose to be disrespectful to everyone that was trying to help him. His inability to be a D1 star was his own doing.
Hey Matt, I know this is an old video so you may not see this, but I've been watching your videos over the last couple weeks since discovering your channel, basically been binging them 🤣🤣 anyways I dropped in to say hearing Mr. No sympathy Matt say " have some sympathy" is crazy lmao. I'm just picking at you though. Thanks for the great content and much love my brother....even if you are an alabama fan 😂
I was a D1 Player (football) His father, new he was better at football rather then baseball. My favored spot was hockey, and I was good at it, and loved the game. But football I was like a fish to to water. So Instead of going to collage for hockey, I knew my best chances at a career in spots, was football. I made the smarter choice, play football. This kid, was an A-hole and thought he was better then he was. Don't blame his father for coming back into his life. He's mother is the one who gave him the mess-up attitude. Stop blaming the Man for it! it takes more than a year for some athlete to have that kind of attitude. The truth is his mother probably ran his dad off when he was young.
Hold up!! You speaking double talk. First you say you have no idea why he got released from FSU. Then you come back and say he was released because he was too cocky and had a bad attitude. Wth
Love your videos! You’re very knowledgeable and creative. One suggestion: It’s not, “Ladies and ‘GENTLEMEN’S’.” “GENTLEMEN’S” is not a word. The word “gentlemen” is already plural. There is no need to put an “S” at the end of the word. I’m an English teacher, so, when I hear that I just had to address it! 😂
The Back to the Future analogy is closer to an acceptable illustration of the Butterfly Effect than the first one you gave. The theory stems from the idea that a butterfly flapping its wings in say Germany can cause a hurricane in say Florida. It’s not about “what if’s”, it’s about a chain reaction of cause and effect triggered by seemingly unrelated actions.
Dude just balled out for my arena team in NC last night with 6 tds. I missed the game but checked it out on youtube. I was like,"wait that name sounds familiar." Then i checked and yeah, watched this vid about a month or so back
@@AdamB34 arrogant jerk gigantic douche you got all this from a T.V. show? The feds must be beating your door down for you to be a profiler. The point is the kid didn’t want to play football and was forced to he loved baseball. You think having your absentee father show up out of the blue when you’re getting noticed/press for sport, then dude tells you give up your love to play his love is good for a kid?That kids biggest problem was his old man trying to live vicariously through him after being a dead beat dad for the better part of a decade.
@atex6175 hahahaha!!! Read your original comment where you base your opinion of him entirely on a TV show 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. "Bro, watch the show"- you Fyi... he was an arrogant douche since high school and didn't get along with numerous coaches, teammates and teachers at every level he played. This isn't something that just happened on the show, it's been his downfall since high school. Also... stop pretending that not playing baseball was some abusive thing that made him a jerk lol. I loved football but my parents wouldn't let me play after junior high because of concerns about head trauma. Oh well, I just played 4 other sports and didn't become an insufferable prick that thinks I'm better and smarter than everyone else in the world. Half of marriages end in divorce, most kids grow up in split homes, lots of successful people only had 1 parent... stop blaming everyone but him. You act like he grew up poor and abused but he grew up upper class and spoiled lol. You clearly don't know anything about him.
@@AdamB34 if you watched the show the grandmother his father’s mother said flat out the father fucked the kid up. I’m basing my opinion off what someone close to the situation said not my assumptions on a situation I’m not personally involved with.
@@AdamB34 not playing baseball wasn’t a punishment? He was ripped away from all his friends and everyone he grew up with to be a free agent high school qb. He was getting looked at in both sports why rip the kid away from a situation he was obviously thriving in? Also he didn’t get along with the coaches? That was more his father meddling and filling his head with shit. Obviously you’ve never coached and had to deal with the parents of “super star” kids
He wanted his dad to stay around, to please him, and to love him. But, the juxtaposition of that internal disappointment and anger and dispair intersected EXTERNALLY to cause a constant angry attitude. If his dad had said: I love you son, and I want to help you achieve YOUR dream. If you want to play baseball, that's great, I'll help you any WAY I can. He would have been happier , and less angry. Probably still have the ego, though.
He wasn't a horrible player or anything, but like you said it was definitely obvious after watching LCU that his dad cared more about football than he did. It always seemed like his dad was trying to live his football dreams vicariously through his son. Malik probably would've been better off playing baseball
Probably fear. Fear that if he disagreed or stood up to his father he’d leave again. Fear is one of the best tactics to keep someone in line. He’s basically a grown man in appearance only but a little boy emotionally. The tantrums included. That’s what I’m getting from this video anyways.
No coach would kick you off a team for having a drug problem unless it’s weed any good coach who knows a player has a drug problem would try and get them help not send them home with another reason to do drugs
Some people make excuses for horrible behavior based on a not so subtle reason. Which is also another huge difference between this kid and Johnny manziel.
Malik would not listen to the quarterback coach and told others not to listen to him. So the QB coach said "screw this" and left. Probably this was just what Malik wanted. The guy is probably poison in the locker room.
Honestly why doesn’t he just go back to try baseball I don’t think it’s too late he clearly doesn’t have passion for football and that’s fine but it’s clear from watching Last Chance U that he loved baseball way more
Odd how he had like 15 different coaches from high school through college and semi pro teams and NONE of them could mentor him? Come on... what's the common denominator here? Him.
A little more research and you would have found that Henry played in seven games during the 2021 season for the Frisco Fighters of the Indoor Football League where he posted pedestrian stats: 76/140 for 778 yards, 10 TDs and 5 Ints.
It’s an extremely questionable decision to use your platform to paint someone as a possible drug addict/dealer based off one Reddit post and a few tweets.
Dude the butterfly effect is if you go back in the past and killed a butterfly that even something so small could cause huge changes to the future. Nothing to do with people saying what if. Lol
Ummmm. What if means, what if I went back in time and changed something, would i have altered my future for the better? That's the same thing as the butterfly effect
I think he was a great player talent wise he just was cocky if from someone that has been to a juco you have guys all over that are d1 athletes that just didn’t have the grades to get into a d1 out of high school that are at a juco that think they’re better than the coach it’s a pride thing
The problem when you say something like "A guy can't throw" indicates either YOU can do better or you have the coaching eyesight to know what a guy that can throw looks like. So either way you can go overboard if you choose to.
@@willijs8 No, you just don't know what you're talking about. If someone can't make a proper soufflé, they can't make a proper soufflé. The fact that I can't make a soufflé doesn't mean I can't point out someone obviously doesn't know how to make the dish. Nice try, though!
Your father can't leave you at the age of three and then come back to make you do anything. I dont believe that. Especially if his mom raised him. He definitely wants to play football.
I bet Malik was upset they kept giving him chances! He didnt want to play, thats obvious. He was like how many times do i gotta get kicked out of college for people to stop wanting me to play football for them!?!?
I dislike his dad more than Malik, I just felt like he was doing something he didn't want and acted out bc of that (not condoning some of the things he did). I actually think he had a real high football IQ, I think he'd be a good coach if he wanted to one day
Imagine commenting under a video tryna disparage someone about their opinion and it does nothing but drive up engagement and make sure people see it 😂😂😂 in other words shut up goof ball
I don’t feel bad for anyone who tosses their talent into a trash can. Even if he didn’t like football, the kid could have taken advantage of the free college education he was getting. Many people have made it with far less than what he had.
i think in the case of Malik - he was a victim of both his own behavior & the behavior of those around him. First of all there's the pressure his father put on Malik to perform in football(this is a guy who was an absentee father, then reappeared when his son showed athletic promise). That athletic potential would manifest in Henry gaining national attention for his play. Of course, most high school star athletes are conditioned to expect some amount of sychofantic behavior from those around them, but much more so for a guy who's ranked as one of the top QB prospects in the country. Regardless of the hype & his physical gifts, Malik was simply too immature to handle the responsibilities of being a college level student athlete. That became clear when he was released from FSU & enrolled in JC. i think this was a huge turning point for Henry. Going to a JC could've been a humbling experience for MH to step away from the spotlight & focus on his studies, his emotional well being, & develop his game. Instead he transferred to Independence KS(Last Chance U). imo the last thing this kid needed was more undue adulation & media attention(& here he is with TV cameras following him all over). i think this becomes evident in the relationship Henry had with his QB coach(he was quite disrespectful & dismissive of a coach who was only trying to help him). Another issue was the HC. Jason Brown is the last coach you'd want as a role model for a guy who already has an inflated ego. But despite his portrayal on LCU, Malik was given another D1 shot at Nevada. After starting a couple games(due to injuries on the QB depth chart) where his play was mediocre, he was dismissed from the team(most reports cite academic issues). i think the thing to remember here is that someone may have all the talent in the world but may lack the maturity & social skills to truly succeed. Those issues can be overcome under the right circumstances. Henry's circumstances were the wrong ones.
So basically it's everyone but him? He's just a poor little victim of circumstance? Bro, when every school you play for cuts you and every coach you play for can't stand you then you're the problem, not literally everyone else.
@@AdamB34 i think maybe you should reevaluate what i stated. In the first sentence of my comment. i said that he was a victim of his own behavior as well as others(i never said "basically/literally everyone else"). All people of sound mind & body are ultimately responsible for their own actions. But in the case of children/adolescents & young adults, the behavior of their authority figures & role models plays a huge role in their development. It's pretty clear Malik wasn't emotionally equipped to be a starting college qb. And if you're a young qb struggling with leadership, attitude, behavioral, or emotional issues - coach JB wouldn't be at the top of my list to learn from. That was evidently a failed experiment judging by the LCU footage & his brief stop at Nevada. So yeah, like you said - Malik was Malik's problem. But there were some other problems in Malik's life too.
@the503creepout7 your first sentence was just a broad qualifier you put out to cover up your assertion that it's everyone but Malik. It's like saying "I'm not racist but..." and then going on to say something racist lol. The qualifier doesn't change your overall opinion
@@AdamB34 wow - you took that to a dark place real fast. Throwing out the racism term, really? And it's particularly ironic because you seem to be the one who sees things as so black & white. So agree to disagree.
@the503creepout7 lol... I didn't say anything about racism, it was an example of how people qualify a statement. Another example would be of someone said "I'm not saying that player is the goat but..." and then they go on to list reasons why they are the goat. Your qualifier doesn't change your opinion. You clearly think everyone surrounding Malik was the problem, saying he also had a part in how he was perceived doesn't change your overall opinion that he was a victim of circumstance and was sabotaged by everyone in his life
I appreciate the research you did, but saying it's hard to feel bad for someone with parental issues along with substance abuse problems, really makes you seem ignorant and heartless. Hope for all the best for Malik in his future.
Pointing out the obvious doesn’t make you ignorant. Making excuses for his actions and attitude makes you sound ignorant. He knows the difference between right and wrong. He chose wrong.
He wasn't some abused child with horrible parents. He was a privileged kid with strong parental guidance and every opportunity to succeed. Stop pretending choosing to party instead of work is a "substance abuse problem" lol. He liked to party and hated school, that's not an addiction issue, it's a lifestyle choice.

His parents definitely should have got him some extensive counseling. And if he was actually using drugs, it was probably to cope with depression. There was definitely something deeper going on with this young man.
Mental health issues aren't a joke.... kid was going through a lot of trauma and had a hard time expressing himself in a productive way.
He the type of kid that was popular but took out his problems on others it seems I’ve seen a few of these in my day
@@TOOMUCHDOPAMINEYT lol.... if that's what you want to call it.
@@GQLounge what kind of trauma he wasn't allowed to use his cell phone?
He was a prick! We all have problems but we don’t act like an Asshole.
Trauma? Like what? What is his mental health disorder?
I had a son that played college football. Suspended for Violation of teams rules Is always drugs. The individual failed a team drug test
Had?? What happened between y’all?
It's 2022 bro, he obviously has a daughter now
“Suspended for violation of team rules” is not always drugs. Don’t spread ignorance.
@@Obiamajoyisrmd yeah, could be missing practice, messin up in school
Well, i can't speak for your experience with your son. And maybe anytime your son was suspended for 'violation of team rules' it was because of banned substances(& i mean no offense). But that certainly doesnt represent every player who was suspended for violation of team rules. It's generally just used as a catch all term by coaches to spare the player/team/staff the embarrassment of explaining specificities to the public/press.
He was unbearable, but not as much as Spencer Rattler on QB1.
Oh man rattler was the WORST teammate in high school. He prolly still is a shitty teammate now. I wouldn’t be surprised. Dude think he’s the best qb in the world but he’s just extremely overrated.
Its easy to say If my dad did that I would tell him......
No telling how badly he wanted a Dad, how he saw him coming back into his life, or what he was seeking. Wont judge him for interactions with his father as a young guy.
His personal interactions with people came from a place of arrogance and no respect. Having a horrible father does not create that mentality.
was waiting for this one, good stuff
Plot twist: Malik's teammates actually loved being around him. Another one: Coach JB and Malik remain good friends today. Don't believe everything you see on Netflix
The whole violation of team rules thing not leaking out isn't all that surprising look at another Netflix football star, Spencer Rattler, has anyone actually found out what happened to get him to miss the remainder of that season?
If I am not mistaken he was caught underage drinking Spencer that is.
I remember the same rumblings about him and drugs, figured it was pretty obvious. his talent and his dad is what made him play.
If you watch last chance u you would know he got kicked off of Florida State cause he wouldn’t go to class. There were also episodes in last chance u when they were on his behind cause he wouldn’t go to class
I'm good friends with a guy that was booted off a JUCO Baseball, JUCO Basketball, and TWO DIFFERENT college football teams. But he had a lot of fun and tons of life experience.
Matt I live in Illinois, I love my Illini, but hey your videos are fantastic and great for life lessons. I will say you are absolutely correct on how to be a great player and not just an elite athlete. Hard Work and focus makes all the difference because it will translate into success later even if one never goes pro.
John 3:16 “for God so loved the world he sacrificed his one and only son” put your faith in God!!
Unfortunately I'm a recovered addict that had a problem with zannys and pain pills after a bad car accident. The drugs made me depressed because I knew I was doing wrong. I was scared of the withdrawals but it never made me cocky. I think that's a personality problem this kid has. Drugs just ruined him but he would have been a punk regardless
I don’t know you but I am a addict in recovery as well. Please hang in there and make sure you have a good hobby to keep busy…I game a lot and try to give my 5 year old son better. If you ever need someone to talk to just let me know
@@adamkostowicz7289 Thank you very much and bless you and your son. I'm doing very well, I work 10-12 hr per day 5 days a week.

I should have said recovering in my prior comment instead of recovered because I am an addict and I believe you are always one and it's up to the person to get clean and stay clean.

Been waiting for this one 🤞🏼
Great video bro, I was waitin on this one!!!!
If he was that good at football for that long.. He most likely had people telling him that his whole life and he thought he was a god amongst people. So when someone told him he was doing something wrong, he would take it the wrong way. Not everything is someone elses fault someone turned out how they are. His dad sounded like he was in it trying to catch the gravy train, hopefully he turns his life around and can take criticism.
Dude just seemed to me, like a rich kid (no idea if he was or not) who’s parents paid a bunch of coaches and trainers in high school to tell him he’s the best there is and when he got to Florida state he was expected to work for and earn his spot and he thought he was above that.
Dude transfered in high school from Westlake HS in the LA area to Long Beach Poly his Sr year but later became ineligible and cost his team a shot of the playoffs.. I didn't like him from then on
Just because you transfer down don’t mean you playing nobody did you even make ur high school team 😂
Learning the backstory about his dad making him play football, he probably got real good on purpose and then tanked just to piss him off.
Lol... why would he be desperately trying to play football literally anywhere that will take him if he doesn't like football and doesn't want to play? He's 24, failed at football the last 6+ years and he's still trying to play? Pretty sure he wants to play.
Maybe he does drugs to cope with the fact that he hates football but he loves dad.
You rock man! Really enjoy and learn a lot from your content. Thank you! 😎
Yeah Coach brown tried to point this kid in the right direction. But you could tell he thought he was better than everyone there and Juco was beneath him. Instead of using the opportunity to grow as a player, he chose to be disrespectful to everyone that was trying to help him. His inability to be a D1 star was his own doing.
Yeah most definitely
Agree. Last Chance U was the worst thing that could have happened to Malik Henry. He was a good player, but...😞
He wasn't good enough to outdo his personality
Good? When? In high school? Big deal
Hey Matt, I know this is an old video so you may not see this, but I've been watching your videos over the last couple weeks since discovering your channel, basically been binging them 🤣🤣 anyways I dropped in to say hearing Mr. No sympathy Matt say " have some sympathy" is crazy lmao. I'm just picking at you though. Thanks for the great content and much love my brother....even if you are an alabama fan 😂
I was a D1 Player (football) His father, new he was better at football rather then baseball. My favored spot was hockey, and I was good at it, and loved the game. But football I was like a fish to to water. So Instead of going to collage for hockey, I knew my best chances at a career in spots, was football. I made the smarter choice, play football. This kid, was an A-hole and thought he was better then he was. Don't blame his father for coming back into his life. He's mother is the one who gave him the mess-up attitude. Stop blaming the Man for it! it takes more than a year for some athlete to have that kind of attitude. The truth is his mother probably ran his dad off when he was young.
You probably should've concentrated more on school.
Hold up!! You speaking double talk. First you say you have no idea why he got released from FSU. Then you come back and say he was released because he was too cocky and had a bad attitude. Wth
Love your videos! You’re very knowledgeable and creative. One suggestion: It’s not, “Ladies and ‘GENTLEMEN’S’.” “GENTLEMEN’S” is not a word. The word “gentlemen” is already plural. There is no need to put an “S” at the end of the word. I’m an English teacher, so, when I hear that I just had to address it! 😂
W video i knew you would make a video on Malik one day
What i got from this is as a parent listen yo your kids,don’t force your dreams on your child
Yeah, Malik Henry grew up to be an entitled, know it all, douchey jerk because he didn't play baseball 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
Let's all hope he can be a positive contributor to society.
The bare minimum
You gotta do a follow up on coach brown next‼️
The Back to the Future analogy is closer to an acceptable illustration of the Butterfly Effect than the first one you gave. The theory stems from the idea that a butterfly flapping its wings in say Germany can cause a hurricane in say Florida. It’s not about “what if’s”, it’s about a chain reaction of cause and effect triggered by seemingly unrelated actions.
@mattbegreat just talks to hear himself talk. Dude isn’t the smartest..
Dude just balled out for my arena team in NC last night with 6 tds. I missed the game but checked it out on youtube. I was like,"wait that name sounds familiar." Then i checked and yeah, watched this vid about a month or so back
You can't teach anyone anything, when they know everything...
This felt like a documentary in itself….
My mans is batting 1000 when it comes to Student Standards
Bro watch the show he said flat out he wanted to play baseball and his pops wouldn't let him. His grandma was heartbroken about it in her interview
Hahahaha!! So because he didn't play baseball when he was 12 he grew up to be a gigantic douche and arrogant jerk? Yikes!
@@AdamB34 arrogant jerk gigantic douche you got all this from a T.V. show? The feds must be beating your door down for you to be a profiler. The point is the kid didn’t want to play football and was forced to he loved baseball.
You think having your absentee father show up out of the blue when you’re getting noticed/press for sport, then dude tells you give up your love to play his love is good for a kid?That kids biggest problem was his old man trying to live vicariously through him after being a dead beat dad for the better part of a decade.
@atex6175 hahahaha!!! Read your original comment where you base your opinion of him entirely on a TV show 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
"Bro, watch the show"- you
Fyi... he was an arrogant douche since high school and didn't get along with numerous coaches, teammates and teachers at every level he played. This isn't something that just happened on the show, it's been his downfall since high school.
Also... stop pretending that not playing baseball was some abusive thing that made him a jerk lol. I loved football but my parents wouldn't let me play after junior high because of concerns about head trauma. Oh well, I just played 4 other sports and didn't become an insufferable prick that thinks I'm better and smarter than everyone else in the world. Half of marriages end in divorce, most kids grow up in split homes, lots of successful people only had 1 parent... stop blaming everyone but him. You act like he grew up poor and abused but he grew up upper class and spoiled lol. You clearly don't know anything about him.
@@AdamB34 if you watched the show the grandmother his father’s mother said flat out the father fucked the kid up. I’m basing my opinion off what someone close to the situation said not my assumptions on a situation I’m not personally involved with.
@@AdamB34 not playing baseball wasn’t a punishment? He was ripped away from all his friends and everyone he grew up with to be a free agent high school qb. He was getting looked at in both sports why rip the kid away from a situation he was obviously thriving in? Also he didn’t get along with the coaches? That was more his father meddling and filling his head with shit. Obviously you’ve never coached and had to deal with the parents of “super star” kids
He wanted his dad to stay around, to please him, and to love him. But, the juxtaposition of that internal disappointment and anger and dispair intersected EXTERNALLY to cause a constant angry attitude. If his dad had said: I love you son, and I want to help you achieve YOUR dream. If you want to play baseball, that's great, I'll help you any WAY I can. He would have been happier , and less angry. Probably still have the ego, though.
He wasn't a horrible player or anything, but like you said it was definitely obvious after watching LCU that his dad cared more about football than he did. It always seemed like his dad was trying to live his football dreams vicariously through his son. Malik probably would've been better off playing baseball
How is a dad that wasn’t around since he was 3 even able to come back and make him do anything ???
Goes to show you how kids really want their parents to love and validate them and will do anything for it
@@06alwilliams you have a point
Probably fear. Fear that if he disagreed or stood up to his father he’d leave again. Fear is one of the best tactics to keep someone in line. He’s basically a grown man in appearance only but a little boy emotionally. The tantrums included. That’s what I’m getting from this video anyways.
If his dad would of never showed up I think Henry would of been ok. It screwed him mentally.
@@06alwilliams bro... he played football before his dad was around. Nobody forced him to do anything.
No coach would kick you off a team for having a drug problem unless it’s weed any good coach who knows a player has a drug problem would try and get them help not send them home with another reason to do drugs
Hahaha!! How much help can this kid get??? People have been breaking their backs trying to help him for a decade. He clearly doesn't want the help
Some people make excuses for horrible behavior based on a not so subtle reason. Which is also another huge difference between this kid and Johnny manziel.
Malik would not listen to the quarterback coach and told others not to listen to him. So the QB coach said "screw this" and left. Probably this was just what Malik wanted. The guy is probably poison in the locker room.
Great video I've been curious about the last chance you player's
Malik Henry was playin off them yerks 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly why doesn’t he just go back to try baseball I don’t think it’s too late he clearly doesn’t have passion for football and that’s fine but it’s clear from watching Last Chance U that he loved baseball way more
He doesn't have passion for football yet he's almost 25 and still trying to play football?? Ok 👍 🤷♂️
He just needed a mentor. Someone he really liked and respected. We'll see him again somewhere. One of those other leagues.
I doubt it.
Odd how he had like 15 different coaches from high school through college and semi pro teams and NONE of them could mentor him? Come on... what's the common denominator here? Him.
If anyone filmed my life back while I was on xans the world would hate me too lol
A little more research and you would have found that Henry played in seven games during the 2021 season for the Frisco Fighters of the Indoor Football League where he posted pedestrian stats: 76/140 for 778 yards, 10 TDs and 5 Ints.
It’s the IFL… it’s pretty much irrelevant
@@waynelee8327 Wayne, so true! Not many folks know the IFL even exists.
It’s an extremely questionable decision to use your platform to paint someone as a possible drug addict/dealer based off one Reddit post and a few tweets.
Matt, Malik was also dismissed from IMG b4 coming to FSU
It wasn’t just the drugs, but he was not a good student with his studies. He wasn’t college material, or even high school material study wise.
Dude the butterfly effect is if you go back in the past and killed a butterfly that even something so small could cause huge changes to the future. Nothing to do with people saying what if. Lol
Ummmm. What if means, what if I went back in time and changed something, would i have altered my future for the better? That's the same thing as the butterfly effect
I think he was a great player talent wise he just was cocky if from someone that has been to a juco you have guys all over that are d1 athletes that just didn’t have the grades to get into a d1 out of high school that are at a juco that think they’re better than the coach it’s a pride thing
I am close with his freshman roommate at FSU. Malik was selling and taking a lot of Xanax. Was pretty much pilled out the entire year
Trouble started when he was in high school..four schools in four years..that’s a red flag..his troubles were there before he went to Florida State…
This vid make me look at him in a whole different light
His dad sabotaged his career getting too involved, filling him with self grandeur and inflating his ego.
The Arena Football League is the best indoor league available.
I would’ve told my pops he could get tf on ain’t no one finna force me to do shit
Spoken like an entitled kid with push over parents who let you run the house.
That block at 0:15 lol
He actually had 70td season In the arena league I’m glad he kept working and made something out of nothing last report on him he got signe in the CFL
The problem when you say something like "A guy can't throw" indicates either YOU can do better or you have the coaching eyesight to know what a guy that can throw looks like. So either way you can go overboard if you choose to.
Not really. I don't need to be a classically trained chef to know someone can't cook worth a shit.
@@BusterCherry1 taste is subjective...... talent isn't...... Nice try though!
@@willijs8
No, you just don't know what you're talking about. If someone can't make a proper soufflé, they can't make a proper soufflé. The fact that I can't make a soufflé doesn't mean I can't point out someone obviously doesn't know how to make the dish. Nice try, though!
@@BusterCherry1 yet if someone throws for 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns..... they can't throw? Make that make sense!
@@willijs8 but he didn’t put up those numbers in college~ he wasn’t as talented as you think he is
Your father can't leave you at the age of three and then come back to make you do anything. I dont believe that. Especially if his mom raised him. He definitely wants to play football.
I bet Malik was upset they kept giving him chances! He didnt want to play, thats obvious. He was like how many times do i gotta get kicked out of college for people to stop wanting me to play football for them!?!?
Ummmmm... he's 24 now and still trying to play football. Pretty friggin obvious he wants to play
I dislike his dad more than Malik, I just felt like he was doing something he didn't want and acted out bc of that (not condoning some of the things he did). I actually think he had a real high football IQ, I think he'd be a good coach if he wanted to one day
He doesn't want to play football yet he's 24 and still desperately trying to play football anywhere he can? Odd take
As an englishman its hard to follow is there anyone on any of the series of last chance U who are now in the NFL?
There’s quite a few, Check google or yt
Imagine not ever being good in football and end up bashing other peoples careers on youtube for clout.(which is further than you can ever make it)
Imagine commenting under a video tryna disparage someone about their opinion and it does nothing but drive up engagement and make sure people see it 😂😂😂 in other words shut up goof ball
When Jay Norvell kicked Malik off the team, did he take his hat and glasses off, when talking to an adult?
And I might add that, predictably, he is no longer a part of the Frisco team.
John 3:16 “for God so loved the world he sacrificed his one and only son” put your faith in God!!
What happened to Nick Scalzo next?
I don’t feel bad for anyone who tosses their talent into a trash can. Even if he didn’t like football, the kid could have taken advantage of the free college education he was getting. Many people have made it with far less than what he had.
Since mental is the largest part of a QB's game, he obviously never really had so much talent after all.
Also Winston very rarely played in the baseball games. Just to point out
what show is this ?
i think in the case of Malik - he was a victim of both his own behavior & the behavior of those around him. First of all there's the pressure his father put on Malik to perform in football(this is a guy who was an absentee father, then reappeared when his son showed athletic promise). That athletic potential would manifest in Henry gaining national attention for his play. Of course, most high school star athletes are conditioned to expect some amount of sychofantic behavior from those around them, but much more so for a guy who's ranked as one of the top QB prospects in the country. Regardless of the hype & his physical gifts, Malik was simply too immature to handle the responsibilities of being a college level student athlete. That became clear when he was released from FSU & enrolled in JC. i think this was a huge turning point for Henry. Going to a JC could've been a humbling experience for MH to step away from the spotlight & focus on his studies, his emotional well being, & develop his game. Instead he transferred to Independence KS(Last Chance U). imo the last thing this kid needed was more undue adulation & media attention(& here he is with TV cameras following him all over). i think this becomes evident in the relationship Henry had with his QB coach(he was quite disrespectful & dismissive of a coach who was only trying to help him). Another issue was the HC. Jason Brown is the last coach you'd want as a role model for a guy who already has an inflated ego. But despite his portrayal on LCU, Malik was given another D1 shot at Nevada. After starting a couple games(due to injuries on the QB depth chart) where his play was mediocre, he was dismissed from the team(most reports cite academic issues). i think the thing to remember here is that someone may have all the talent in the world but may lack the maturity & social skills to truly succeed. Those issues can be overcome under the right circumstances. Henry's circumstances were the wrong ones.
So basically it's everyone but him? He's just a poor little victim of circumstance? Bro, when every school you play for cuts you and every coach you play for can't stand you then you're the problem, not literally everyone else.
@@AdamB34 i think maybe you should reevaluate what i stated. In the first sentence of my comment. i said that he was a victim of his own behavior as well as others(i never said "basically/literally everyone else"). All people of sound mind & body are ultimately responsible for their own actions. But in the case of children/adolescents & young adults, the behavior of their authority figures & role models plays a huge role in their development. It's pretty clear Malik wasn't emotionally equipped to be a starting college qb. And if you're a young qb struggling with leadership, attitude, behavioral, or emotional issues - coach JB wouldn't be at the top of my list to learn from. That was evidently a failed experiment judging by the LCU footage & his brief stop at Nevada. So yeah, like you said - Malik was Malik's problem. But there were some other problems in Malik's life too.
@the503creepout7 your first sentence was just a broad qualifier you put out to cover up your assertion that it's everyone but Malik. It's like saying "I'm not racist but..." and then going on to say something racist lol. The qualifier doesn't change your overall opinion
@@AdamB34 wow - you took that to a dark place real fast. Throwing out the racism term, really? And it's particularly ironic because you seem to be the one who sees things as so black & white.
So agree to disagree.
@the503creepout7 lol... I didn't say anything about racism, it was an example of how people qualify a statement. Another example would be of someone said "I'm not saying that player is the goat but..." and then they go on to list reasons why they are the goat. Your qualifier doesn't change your opinion. You clearly think everyone surrounding Malik was the problem, saying he also had a part in how he was perceived doesn't change your overall opinion that he was a victim of circumstance and was sabotaged by everyone in his life
I appreciate the research you did, but saying it's hard to feel bad for someone with parental issues along with substance abuse problems, really makes you seem ignorant and heartless.
Hope for all the best for Malik in his future.
Pointing out the obvious doesn’t make you ignorant. Making excuses for his actions and attitude makes you sound ignorant. He knows the difference between right and wrong. He chose wrong.
He wasn't some abused child with horrible parents. He was a privileged kid with strong parental guidance and every opportunity to succeed. Stop pretending choosing to party instead of work is a "substance abuse problem" lol. He liked to party and hated school, that's not an addiction issue, it's a lifestyle choice.
How can you play football when your arrogance and attitude makes you want to punch an fight everyone that tackles or knocks you down?
