Collage football champion Super Bowl champion Ryder cup winner Former president of the state of Ohio All time leading tackler for the GB Packer Father of 10 AJ HAWK
As I'm reading this I can hear the boys in the Thunderdome yelling in perfect unison "WHAD" after every achievement. Absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing. 👊
One Ray Lewis doesn't play in the same conference so he doesn't crowd hawk out of the pro bowl. Two, Willis and Urlacher only made the same Probowl twice anyway, so for most of his career there were open spots for the second middle linebacker in the pb. Three, there can be up to 3 middle Lbs from a conference, and he was still left off those teams. Four, if you can't make top 3 in your position in conference for your position, you aren't close at all to all pro. He wasn't actually that good. Like he was benched in 2014 and cut from the team in 2015 when he was only making 4 million at like 30. He was abysmal against the run for most of his career. As a middle linebacker, that's like 60% of his job.
@@johnfitzgerald8855vintage non ball knower, it wasnt even Middle linebackers it was inside linebackers in general. And guess what aj hawks two best years the ILBS that made the pro bowl over him were Bowman, willis and and darryl washington in 2012 and in 2013 it was bowman, willis and a little known 2nd player named luke Kuechly.
@@IcyTormentsthese are pointless distinctions, there hasn't really been 3-4 and 4-3 rigidity since like 2010. Its where do they line up in nickel personel. Hawk was inside the guards, in the middle. regardless of the position titles, he wasn't actually top player at his position in his conference. Even with injury replacements he was passed over. The team was consistently awful against the run; he graded terribly as a run defender.
All I know is a bills fan..he never once scared me and we had mid to bad teams. I've always considered him over rated. Dude isn't even a top 10 lb from his generation. So yeah he was good. But they won't ever build him a statue
He is NOT the all time leading tackler for Green Bay. John Anderson is the leading tackler for Green Bay with over 1000 tackles, almost twice as many as Hawk> Do some research before you post something ignorant.
College legend. Solid pro with 1 Pro Bowl selection and a Super Bowl ring. He won't make any NFL Greatest lists but he was a very good player and had a solid career.
Linebacker going top 5 like him just doesn’t happen anymore. Gotta be a truly special talent. AJ is one of the last of the old guard of football. Zero documented concussions also
I was at Ohio State when it was AJ Hawke, Bobby "The General" Carpenter, and Anthony Schlegal. It was fun to watch them play and put people into the ground. I am so proud AJ Hawke gets to represent that era of Buckeyes every day on the PMS.
I don’t think people understand that Hawk’s dependability was a huge part of why that Packers defense was so good. Hawk’s adaptability to close off areas of the field meant Matthews could literally line up in a track stance and sprint into the backfield. That defense played so aggressively it felt like the Packers were on offense. It’s a team sport, and he was an ultimate team player.
AJ Hawk is a menace to society: drives with two feet, falls asleep at the wheel, doesn't turn the engine off while getting gas, driving golf carts into water hazards, destroying the set of the Pat McAfee show, and may be a certified soaker.
The fear his opponents would experience was wild. A video was released showing how ferocious and dangerous AJ was, performing side kicks at a rate which had only been seen from the likes of Chuk Norris. This video would make its way around locker rooms in the league, I heard Marshall Faulk cried for nearly an hour after watching the previously mentioned Kicking Hawk. Good vid tho, just surprised you left this fact out.
Most years your defense was not a priority. AJ held down a crew known for being "bend-but-don't-break" monsters that forced long drives and field goals so Aaron and the boys on offense could build a lead. They still managed to put together some great defenses but it was a lot of just being a hindrance to the opposing offense.
AJ was my favorite Packer from that era. Showed up, did his job, no fuss no nonsense no flair for the dramatic all ball kinda guy. He played through alot of injuries too like torn hand/finger/wrist ligaments, knee issues, back issues, etc which is probably why his falloff was so early and sudden, but was also why I liked him as a player so much. Was always there. Also, to be the all time leading solo tackler Packers history despite not playing that long compared to how long youd think youd need to play to have such a record, he takes far too much disrespect from casuals who see that 5th overall pick status and think bust. May not have reached the heights of other top 5 picks, but with how many horrible 1st round picks weve seen, many GMs would love an AJ Hawk caliber player every draft. Also on the shortlist for All-Name team lol idk AJ Hawk just sounds like a football name, yaknow
Let's not forget flipping off his side of the field. Saw that live, laughed my @ss off. In all seriousness, the Pack was blessed to have him on the roster.
He was an awful run defender. He was the absolute king of over pursuing and getting cut back on. There are so many film breakdown and gradings of how mid he was as a linebacker overall. He did jump on the pile at the end of the play though. Racked up those "tackles".
@jblou I don't hate him, he was just a replacement level linebacker overall in the NFL. If you look up his run defender stats you would know he couldn't paralyze someone with a gun. He racked up tackles 6 yards past the line of scrimmage. Tackles are a stat that tell you nothing about a players skill.
@@johnfitzgerald8855 lol i don't need to look anything up, you've already replied the same thing to every comment here. I watched him in his prime and he was a stud player that was misused. After his prime, knee injuries turned him into half the player he was. He never lived up to his top 5 pick potential, but the guy was NOT "replacement level" that's ridiculous. You have a vendetta and that's okay
@jblou if you actually watched him and thought he was a good run defender, youre a oblivious to how football is played. But I bet you have just the funniest fantasy football team name!
As a life-long Packers fan, AJ Hawk is one of the all time greatest Packers. You can’t lead the franchise in tackles and not earn that title. While he may not get the league-wide recognition he deserves, we Packers fans definitely know what we had with him. Heck of a career!
I mean, nice video and nice of you to highlight AJs career, but i felt like the research was very superficial, which was highlighted by leaving out the very unimportant detail that he's the packers all time leading tackler
Great college football player, drafted really high and looked like he was gonna be a bust, but he hit his prime later than expected and ended up being a solid NFL starter.
I’m pretty sure one of the main reasons they started working together was because AJ was a fan of Barstool and when Pat started with Barstool there was talks about them working together but it wasn’t til Pat left Barstool that AJ became a regular.
You got something wrong they had a brief podcast together (Pat and AJ) I think it was less then 25 episodes. It was way before the pandemic it was under the Barstool network this would have been in 2017 I think.
3:51 “Despite concerns around his size…” He measured 6’ 1” 248lbs at the combine. The average size for LBs is 6’ 2 1/4” and 241lbs. What were the concerns?
@vitaly5887 If you notice in some games you barely heard Clays name and over the years when Clay played hard he always got hurt it seems like every season he was out hurt for part of it
Rodgers didn't get playing time because a still great Brett Favre was on the roster, not because of their hostile relationship. They could've had a great relationship and Rodgers wouldn't have seen the field. AJ was one of the best LBs of his era. Wouldn't be shocked if in a couple decades or so he gets in the HoF as seniors' committee inductee.
The amount of people in the comments who don't understand the difference in the way the game is played now (2015+) vs what a 90's/00's/early 10's mike represented is absurd; AJ was a very solid and reliable plug-in for pretty much anybody during his era, he stayed healthy and available, he'd hit guys off-ball HARD and would stuff powers, communicate pre-snap, instinctually read traps/pulls, etc. He was never a perennial all-pro at all, but he was always solid and as a green dot guy he's better than the VAST majority in that spot. Rarely missed a tackle, could cover his zone and quarterbacked that Packers D pretty damn well for a decade.
The Green Bay Packers are one of the oldest and most historic franchises in the history of the NFL and AJ Hawk, the all-time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers I would say yes he was a dominant player with an awesome career think about the men that went through that Packers locker room, and he has more tackles than any of them!
At MIA we produce LB's baby! From the Greatest ever in Ray Lewis to All-Pros-Longtime NFL Starters like Barrow, Beason, Vilma, DJ Williams, Armstead, Rocky Macintosh, Leonard Williams and Ted Hendricks & Denzel Perrymen. Though Hendricks was prob the 1st OLB/EDGE rusher
How do you not acknowledge that he is the all time leader in tackles for the packers in this video?
What this guy said
Ryder Cup winner, father of 10. Drives with both feet and falls asleep. C'Mon dawg 😂 lol.
Sloppy scriptwriting
Yessir all time leader in tackles deserves to be recognized
I missed that tackle hard. My apologies everyone.
Also known as wiping around 100 times while shitting.
Don’t do my boy like that.. he said “realistically” 40 times….😆

Aj Hawk looks like the default setting when you're making a character.
He reminded me of the kid on the movie mask.
Extra jaw/chin cranked to 100%
Kinda hard to be pro bowler and All Pro when you’re playing the same time as Ray Lewis Brian Urlacher Patrick Willis
And 10x all-pro-, 6x 1st team all-pro, 3x nfl tackles leader, and 9x pro-bowler Bobby Wagner.
One Ray Lewis doesn't play in the same conference so he doesn't crowd hawk out of the pro bowl. Two, Willis and Urlacher only made the same Probowl twice anyway, so for most of his career there were open spots for the second middle linebacker in the pb.

all time leading tackler for the green bay packers and super bowl champion is not too bad for an ohio native
Ur trash at ships
He is NOT the all time leading tackler for Green Bay. John Anderson is the leading tackler for Green Bay with over 1000 tackles, almost twice as many as Hawk> Do some research before you post something ignorant.
@ *solo tackles, john andersons stat is total tackles, they are not the same thing, do more research before you comment something ignorant
@@AirsoftAlfonseget his ass alf 😂😂🤝🏽
AJ tackled the toilet paper roll 100 times, he played for Green Bay, therefore he is the all time leading tackler in Green Bay by some extent.
Aj and pat were podcasting well before covid. They had a show on barstool as far back as 2017
College legend. Solid pro with 1 Pro Bowl selection and a Super Bowl ring. He won't make any NFL Greatest lists but he was a very good player and had a solid career.
Linebacker going top 5 like him just doesn’t happen anymore. Gotta be a truly special talent. AJ is one of the last of the old guard of football. Zero documented concussions also
I appreciate AJ getting love. Lets just get a little more accurate boys lol.
Accurate in what way?
Agreed, also how do you leave out the fact that he’s a franchise all time leading tackler.
He's commenting on the comments for sure.Some real eggsperts
Aj was better then Ryan Clark was for sure. He also doesn’t need to be reminded of his own initials by wearing a brooch 😂
Excuse me sir that douche bag called it a lapel 😂😂😂😂
that's what CTE does to you, need constant reminder what your name is
They were both savage, both deserve respect
Sounds like some hate for RC
you just sound like a sucker, they dont even play the same position tool
My family loved this guy. They live in his old green bay house, which is kind of cool
That’s a story to tell haha
A.J Hawk served dinner at the new community shelter one night. Nice of him to do charity work
Bet he spit in the food...
Very good linebacker. Absolute dawg for a decade
I was at Ohio State when it was AJ Hawke, Bobby "The General" Carpenter, and Anthony Schlegal. It was fun to watch them play and put people into the ground. I am so proud AJ Hawke gets to represent that era of Buckeyes every day on the PMS.
AJ is the only reason I watch McAfee.

It’s a team sport, and he was an ultimate team player.
Born and raised in Michigan. From Lions to Michigan State Games, AJ Hawk always been a menace.
AJ Hawk is a menace to society: drives with two feet, falls asleep at the wheel, doesn't turn the engine off while getting gas, driving golf carts into water hazards, destroying the set of the Pat McAfee show, and may be a certified soaker.
And that’s why we love Himmmmm
i love this man bc of all these reasons
An absolute toxic human being
Didn’t he have a pet croc or shark ? 😂😂
@@gumball5024 Pet Alligator and a pet piranha
AJ WAS A STUD. 100% I wantwd him at pick 5 and we got him. What a day!

The only thing opponents would worry about hawk is him leaking his butt juice on them.
He had something like 22 tackles in a high school game. Man was a dawg
Packers fan here, he really did change the disposition of more games then you realize a lot of plays he made happened when they needed it
Most years your defense was not a priority. AJ held down a crew known for being "bend-but-don't-break" monsters that forced long drives and field goals so Aaron and the boys on offense could build a lead.

I remember the first couple times he joined the show and the boys chanted AJ HAWK! AJ HAWK! AJ HAWK! Or the piranha story 😂

Thanks for your kind, detailed take Diesel. Not many people appreciate the kind of blue-collar player AJ was.

Guy is a legend and for sure underrated at all he does
AJ was one heck of a thumper at linebacker. If you were running the ball, he's gonna meet you in the gap and absolutely put you on your back.
He was an awful run defender. He was the absolute king of over pursuing and getting cut back on. There are so many film breakdown and gradings of how mid he was as a linebacker overall. He did jump on the pile at the end of the play though. Racked up those "tackles".

Incredible player. Packers legend.
As well as his achievements Hawker comes across as a very pleasant chap.
AJ is not toxic he's not afraid to speak his mind and he was a great LB. He's funny to watch I watch him and pat since the barstool show they had.
Idk how someone could be upset with results like those! Great career!
As a Tennessee fan I’m currently not on speaking terms with OSU, but I love me some AJ Hawk
AJ is a legend here in Ohio.
As a Lions fan I hated going up against him and Matthews. He was a very solid player. Being the workhorse of the defense rarely garners honors.
As a life-long Packers fan, AJ Hawk is one of the all time greatest Packers. You can’t lead the franchise in tackles and not earn that title. While he may not get the league-wide recognition he deserves, we Packers fans definitely know what we had with him. Heck of a career!
Loved watching him play. AJ and Bob Sanders were my favorite defensive players.
I mean, nice video and nice of you to highlight AJs career, but i felt like the research was very superficial, which was highlighted by leaving out the very unimportant detail that he's the packers all time leading tackler
not only that but claiming that Aj was one of the most toxic men with a mic id fukin ridiculous
@@anthonybattaglia8728 Sounds like he's joking. 'Toxic' is used for the boys on the show.
Forgets to mention All Time Leading Tackler for the Green Bay Packers

BEAST!! AJ was fun to watch
Never been a packers fan but he was a beast. Underrated indeed
Best to ever play. GOAT

Retired Kirk Herbstret , All time leading tackles for the Packers. Brady Quinn's Brother in law.

Thank you for taking the time to watch Devin. Hope to see you again!
AJ Hawk!! AJ Hawk!! AJ Hawk!!
All time leader in tackles for Green Bay.
Being a Wisconsinite, there’s a lotta love for AJ. He was redeemed when he crossed from OSU to GB 😅. Thanks for the great memories!
Mcafee and hawk sports talk was way before Covid
7:09 he ranked second in WHAT?
"Seggs" - AI Voice , "Sawks" - Brady
I remember homeboy being fast for a LB on Madden when he was in his prime
The problem for Hawk, especially in his later years, was that Bobby and Kuechley existed, and they were overshadowed anything Hawk did
“Friend to an ayahuasca enthusiast”
laces out in 2017 was the start of pat and aj doing a show together
I have often pondered AJ’s connection. To me the invisible-man with McAfee. The quiet one. ✌️🏈👍
Great college football player, drafted really high and looked like he was gonna be a bust, but he hit his prime later than expected and ended up being a solid NFL starter.
AJ IS A DAWG
“Can you tell us who you’re voting for and why?”
Quietly, one of his best moments.
Some of the clips in the beginning do not align with the year being spoken of. A few of them show teams Hawk isn't even on
I’m pretty sure one of the main reasons they started working together was because AJ was a fan of Barstool and when Pat started with Barstool there was talks about them working together but it wasn’t til Pat left Barstool that AJ became a regular.

I love AJ Hawk, Clay Matthews had all the spotlight back in the 2010s but AJ was really the hilarious toxic guy
His face + the camera angle = he looks like the MCP from original Tron on the Mcafee show.
3:51 “Despite concerns around his size…”
He measured 6’ 1” 248lbs at the combine. The average size for LBs is 6’ 2 1/4” and 241lbs. What were the concerns?
The concern was that he was too big and slow .
🗣 AJ HAWK 🗣 AJ HAWK 🗣AJ HAWK
Shoot he’s better than Pat McAfee
For shoot?
And everyone is better then you
AJ Hawk AJ hawk! 💪🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
I gotta say AJ Hawk is a dope ass football name
He was reliable and a great anchor for the defense.
I love the False Swipe Gamging reference.
I will never forgive him for blowing his assignment on thatbfake field 0:54 goal in the Seattle championship game
No way dude, that was the botck-kick game wasn't it?
@ yup but SeahWks were dead till he let tgat guy run past him to catch tge TD
Lmfao the video shown of brady on the bucs in "2010" is wild.
LB has been devalued and changed the last 5 yrs with Edge guys. But NFL starts and career length in the NFL is just as important.
AJ is the GOAT. I won’t hear differently
In high school he was likebacker, running back and kicker
HAWK was great as a player .... definitely underrated on the field and with Pat McAfee.
A "hostile relationship" is not why Aaron did not see the field
He was great He was overshadowed by Clay Matthews I always thought he was better than Mathews and never got the recognition he deserved
A.J was really good but definitely not better than Clay Matthews. Clay was a game wrecker on defense while A.J was solid.
@vitaly5887 If you notice in some games you barely heard Clays name and over the years when Clay played hard he always got hurt it seems like every season he was out hurt for part of it
Him and Matthews made the GB defense good in that SB year.
Rodgers didn't get playing time because a still great Brett Favre was on the roster, not because of their hostile relationship. They could've had a great relationship and Rodgers wouldn't have seen the field.
AJ was one of the best LBs of his era. Wouldn't be shocked if in a couple decades or so he gets in the HoF as seniors' committee inductee.
