There is nobody I root for more in the NFL than this guy.
Me too now after this.
Hard NOT to root for him.
**nods** Same here!
Yo. I love how DEAD honest he is. "It's sort of like a science experiment."
Imagine getting your groceries bagged by someone and then seeing him ball out in the NFL the next year
A la Kurt Warner
Bagger to swagger
Considering what just happened with Ruggs. The timing of this video is incredibly ironic
I think they did it on purpose because parts of this video is from a old interview he did with Steve Smith Sr
@@deandrewilson1549 💯 Definitely not a coincidence.
They work on these videos for a while before releasing so no.
Amen
Staying sober is hard I’m sure especially in a city known for their partying very impressive.
It’s actually great timing to show people u can get better and overcome this disease salute brotha
Regardless of current events (Ruggs), the positive tone is needed, especially as most of us don't see NFL players as humans. You can come back from anything if you set your mind to it, don't let your mind defeat you before you begin...
Sooo what do you see them as? Lizards?
THE best Tight End in the league. I’m so happy that he over came the addiction, God had a plan for this young man. Although I’m a 49er’s fan, I have to give it up he’s the best in the game right now.
Right now he's definitely the best TE but when kittle is healthy I think he's the best not just because I'm a niner fan I think his mix of blocking and yac make him better than everyone else
@@Brigboy27 I agree so some degree, but Waller plays like a receiver, he catches everything. Just imagine if he can stay healthy for the next 5 years, he will be in a class of his own.
@@fodra-d8868 that's very true but his blocking isn't anything to brag about and that's why i think kittle is better but if he gets good a blocking he'll be the best TE in league hands down
@@Brigboy27 your right kittles blocking is incredible, he definitely has Waller in that category hands down
Not even a fan of neither teams but Kelce is prolly the best TE in the league
I am a lifelong Raiders diehard and a recovered drug addict. Darren Waller and Maxx Crosby are both HUGE inspirations to me and many other people like me. So much of his story echoes the same things that I went through, and the statements that he and his parents made really resonates with me and my life. Thank you so much, Darren and Maxx. I am so proud of you guys for beating your addictions and living your dreams, and I'm so glad that I get to cheer for you every Sunday. Watching you succeed brings me the biggest smiles.
Found out about Waller from Hard Knocks and I’ve routed for him ever since. Truly inspiring story
Waller is such a class act! Getting to watch him play live and in person in Oakland was unreal! He's legit bigger than life but so incredibly humble!
This man is lucky to be alive and fortunate that he got the help he needed. When you see someone who is popping too many pills and clearly not in the right mental state, it's important you pick up on these signs and say something to their face. That saves lives.
At the start of April earlier this year, I was recovering from Depression and my own addiction. I watched this video when I was on an exercise bike and it really inspired me to stay on the right path and continue to get better everyday. I’m a ravens fan so I’ll always miss D-Wall but I’m glad he’s doing well in life and I’ll always root for him because watching his story was for me, the final straw to finally climb out of rock bottom and learn from my mistakes.
I love this man!! Super real and I been through what he has been through!! What a stud!! Absolutely love him!! Wish the best for this man!
Doesn't matter what team you root for, you can't help but root for this guy, love seeing him ball out; incredible story!
I remember when l saw him for the first time on hard knocks. Just wow .
Good for him, it's wonderful to see people dig themselves out of tough spots and really shine! ❤️🙏
This is inspirational for anyone who’s going through some tough times. And you hit rock bottom , just know the only way to go is up .
Much Respect!
As a Ravens fan and a bmore kid I'm glad we got him and traded him to get to a better place always have respect for him
Kinda weird how this was posted when Ruggs got charged lol
Thank you little Brother great to see you in positive means look for the Lord
One day at a time brother.
Being a huge sports fan and also a recovering alcoholic, there are few people in the world I admire and root for more than athletes in recovery, or even who have just turned their lives around. Michael Phelps, Maurice Clarett, Jordan Poyer, CC Sabathia, Abby Wambach are just some of my favorites. Glad I get to add to the list.
Also, it's no surprise that a guy turning his life around that way has such awesome parents.
I’m mixed and half grew up in the east Cobb area(same area he’s from) with majority white friends, with my mother (white) and other half with my father (black)in the metro Atlanta area and Its true. the drug use/addiction amongst the youth is so far worse in the in Cobb the richer/suburban area. Lost my best friend and a couple other good homies to some bad drugs in That area. I’m glad he’s okay and I really hope he stay on the right path that’s FOR HIM! ✌🏼
hes legendary
It's never too late to make a change for the better.
Atleast he’s on the raiders now. A stable environment with absolutely zero controversies.
Umm 🤨
Especially Henry Ruggs, what a solid and stable man who knows when to call an Uber
i see what you did there
Couldn’t ask for a better situation
No controversies, it's all true lol
Low key he got bars
This man is a straight up "INSPIRATION"!
🙏💥💯
As soon as he starts rapping..
Me: Oh great another athlete trying to….
Me a few seconds later: *hits dougie while driving*
You inspire me every day Darren.
2:28 your welcome ssc’s 😊
"Back from the Pit" that goes hard wtf
What a story and thank you for sharing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
His rapping is not even bad 😂.
D_WALL = MODERN DAY WHISTLE BLOWER 4 the NFL. (PERIOD).
He makes my heart explode 👀
He was my favorite player without knowing this now I know his backstory he is my favorite player by even more
Unfortunately, stories like this play out everyday not just in America but around the world. It seems that he has wonderful parents who did give him structure and love which is so important. On the downside, and I'm only speculating here as far as it pertains to this young man, I think it shows that if, when you are young, you are basically given anything that you want that you don't appreciate it and that work ethic escapes that young person or any person for that matter. Too many times, I've heard parents say that they want their kids to have better things than they did yet as a father, I would always tell my kids that if there was something they really wanted that I wouldn't simply go out and buy it for them. They would have to match me dollar for dollar to get that Sega Genesis or a pair of Air Jordans (yes I'm old). To me, I never wanted to be my children's best friend because my role was that of being a father. Again, no judgment on any parent because I feel the only one that can judge any of us is God 🙏.
Salute!
I love you so much
Rock on bruv.
Not every story has a happy ending
what amazing timing
I hope he’s a raider for life
Great story. Raiders for life baby.
Good one!
Henry Ruggs III needs to watch this
Lets do this waller!
That keyboard guy was baked
I be bumpin his music on madden! Lol
proud of my boi for real
The greatest comeback story ever
Idk man, Eric Berry came back from cancer and went to two more Pro Bowls... Darren Waller is an amazing person and player, though, and his story is incredibly inspiring, especially for recovered addicts like myself. Go Darren, and go Raiders!
This video is amazing
Proverbs 12:25
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
2:28 for the schooly editors!
As a lifelong diehard Niners fan I still have to root for Waller...
Glad he was able to come back from the brink
Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Y’all wrong for doing this doing damn well Ruggs just killed somebody driving under the influence
This was the best video they could have posted at this time, how did you miss the point that bad? 🤔

The unintended irony in the timing of this video astounds me!
You got to be tough or "get used to" "things" to become numb. 😵💫

Great guy, great story! I’d stick to football and not music 💯

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
That's not even scripture dude
@@troypolamalukingtroytrojan1538 I see like most you arent familiar with the word of God
@@JesseChasteen i réad the whole Bible,13 books outside the Bible and studied the Quran withing a time of 3 months.
If you're gonna quote scripture atleast quote it how it's written in the Bible.
@@troypolamalukingtroytrojan1538 thats exactly how it is written in the bible. I guess you dont know his word as much as you thought
@@JesseChasteen lol what version is that?
The easy to read english version?
Stick to the KJV buddy,the most accurate english translation.
How long did it take you to read the whole Bible?
too many white friends.
God what bad timing…
