I think part of what you have to consider in these plays is the size of these guys. They are absolutely huge so the agility and getting off the ground in the first place is huge.
7:02 - the reason that play was impressive was because it was a kicker making the tackle. Kickers are the least athletic players on the team, usually not on the field, except for kickoffs, field goals, or extra points. They're usually the smallest guys on the team, and their leg is really their only weapon. As a result they're typically bad tacklers, because the guy carrying the ball is always faster, and stronger. So for a kicker to basically bury the return man with a picture perfect tackle was impressive.
6:52 - he lost the ball, but the ball broke the plane of the endzone, and he had control for a second so it's a touchdown. If that had happened anywhere else on the field, it would've been a fumble and a live ball. On plays like this, a lot of times, the opposing coach would challenge the call and try to get the Touchdown overturned via instant replay.
Helmets make up most of that too. The pads in pants are just pieces of foam you place in a pocket designed for them. Shoulder pads aren't all that heavy, as they're just plastic and foam.
Every time someone jumps over another player you have to remember the average height in the NFL is around 190cm. Granted defensive backs are closer to 177 in average, but that's still not a "little jump" lol
3:57 - No it's not a normal move. And to your point, a lot of coaches try to discourage these moves for fear of the players getting injured or losing the ball.
NFL Hurdles by Ding Productions is a good video to see the different angles or how high they’re going. The average player is like 6’2 (about 1.87m) just for reference
he didn’t lose the ball because the ball was on the line before he loss control therefore making it a touchdown. It’s the ball that counts not the player
At 6:15 if he has possession of the ball and the ball breaks the plane of the endzone, even for a split second, it's automatically a touchdown. If that fumble occurred anywhere else on the field, it would still be a live ball, and could've been recovered by the Defense. But not at the goal line.
What you gotta think about the “small jumps” you think they’re hopping like 6 feet in the air above tall players. It’s insane to try and do that without planning just in stride.
All these plays were NFL, but be aware that a lot of these "NFL" videos have very many college football clips. If you don't know the uniforms, you can't tell the difference.
@@ukreacts6850 Take it from me, I've played football before. I've learned the hard way that you better know where you're jumping at or you're going to get clocked by somebody and it's going to hurt.
7:07 the reason that play is special is because the kicker made a solid tackle which hardly ever happens. The kickers are usually the smallest most unathletic players on the team. They only need one thing and that's a strong leg. A kicker should be no match for a stronger faster player returning a kick. It's almost embarrassing for a runner to be taken down by a wimpy kicker, especially on a dominating solo tackle.
Just an interesting little fact. Most of these guys (receivers) making a play on the ball have a meter + vertical leap.... from a stand still. These are arguably some of the best athletes in the world.
I have really enjoyed watching you do this process with learning the NFL.....its a joy seeing someone come to learn (and hopefully eventually love) a game that most of us (your commenters) have grown up with. When it comes to rules, admittedly this part can be confusing, but when the player jumped over the pile and lost the ball.....its still considered a touchdown because the ball crossed over the white line (broke the plain of the endzone).....anything that happens AFTER the ball crosses the line doesn't count.....HOWEVER that same rule does NOT apply to when a player catches the ball in the endzone, only for persons running with the ball. As far as how impressive this video is, its hard to realize it in video, but most of these humans are running close to 20 mph, and starting/stopping/leaping & most times adjusting in mid air. Some people aren't coordinated to do this while walking around, let alone while being defended or pursued by some of the best athletes on the planet. In terms of videos to watch next, I think you should start focusing on single player highlights......I have a couple starting recommendations. Throwing: Brett Farve, Aaron Rodgers, Dante Culpepper (throws the ball very very far to Randy Moss), Dan Marino, Patrick Mahomes Running: Barry Sanders, LeSean McCoy, Bo Jackson, Marshawn Lynch (i'm just here so i don't get fined, lol), Mike Vick & Lamar Jackson Catching: Randy Moss (he's the one that caught that effortless one handed touchdown in the best catches vid), Cris Carter, Odell Beckham Jr Hitting: Ray Lewis, Ronnie Lott, Brian Dawkins, Ed Reed, Troy Polomalu, Lawrence Taylor There are soooooooo many more but this is a great place to start. Looking forward to more of your vids bro
Baseball is by far the hardest sport to play. Hitting a major league fastball is the hardest thing to do in sport, but the fielders are extremely athletic. Check out the best infield plays. Its truly artistic.
Not the most dangerous no. There is danger involved because the pitcher throws the ball up to 100mph at the batter (160kmph) and if the batter gets hit it could cause damage. But overall the sport isnt as dangerous as football or hockey. Just skill wise its extremely difficult. Many people will tell you that hitting a major league fastball is the hardest thing to do in all of sports. And watching the fielders turn amazing plays is one of the most athletically amazing things to watch in sport.
As long as the ball is under the player's control, the instant it "breaks the plane" of the goal line it's a touchdown and the play is over. The player could lose the ball a second later, or be shoved backward so the ball comes out of the end zone, it doesn't matter: the six points are good. With a catch in the end zone, if the receiver has control of the ball and can plant two feet (or another part of his body) within the end zone before going out of bounds, it's a touchdown and the play is over. The pylons at the corners are also in the end zone, so a player could be airborne and almost entirely outside the field of play, but if he can get the ball over that pylon without any part of his body touching the ground outside the field of play, it's a touchdown.
Sometimes the 1 yard leaping touchdown is the most impressive because the opposing defense is all stacked up as opposed to being spread all over the field. So they're out jumping several defenders. Plus the ball carrier can't get a running start, so they're leaping almost from a standing position.
Receivers have over a meter verticals. With the 10 pounds of additional weight and running 25 miles an hour while being defended or defending is what makes the jumps impressive and “defying” gravity.
If you are a runner, that applies. If you are a receiver, you have to maintain possession through the ground. As in the video, if he was a receiver and lost the ball like he did, it would have been a turn over on the 25 yard line.
For the lesser jumps that don't look like too much, the people they're jumping over are average of 6ft 1 or better and they jump over them. The getting up is showing the athleticism to get up so fluidly and effortlessly.
I didn't see any good explanation why the small lifts from the knees to standing is so impressive. He doesn't use his hands at all past being on his knees. I think I know the trick he uses but actually these small lifts are the most impressive. Have some of your friends on the rugby team try it. It is a simple exercise. I would imagine only one in a 1000 (it may be more rare than that) can do it & only then with some practice & a few tricks. Most of the athletes can bounce up with their knees underneath them. But this isn't what he is doing. He lifts gently to his knees. And it isn't CGI.
I'd definitely say the "leapfrog/hurdle" move isn't a required skill. I just watched your Barry Sanders video before this, you notice he stayed low to the ground. It's kind of an evolution of the game. Players big and strong enough to run over defenders prompt the defenders to overcommit to contact, and if the ball carrier is agile enough, he can use that to his advantage. It's still dangerous, but a calculated risk. If you notice the way some of the defenders are launching themselves, it might be more dangerous to stay the course.
I have a few videos u have to watch. 1st is Randy Moss highlights, Devin Hester highlights, Barry Sanders, Marshawn Lynch, Deion Sanders, Reggie Bush college highlights and Michael Vick highlights. You won't find any better than those.
In American Football, a player scores when the ball first breaks the plane of the goal line. Play ends at that point. No need to touch the ground to score.
You have to be aware they have to catch the ball in bounds. That is the reason for a lot of those gymnastic moves. It was done to keep the ball in bounds either along the sidelines or in the end zone. Along the sidelines both feet must land/stay in bounds. In the end zone the ball must cross into the end zone before the player goes out of bounds or knees the ground. Once the knee of the ball carrier hits the ground the play is dead. This is the reason for much of the acrobatics. Within the context of the rules the moves make sense. ..
The padding and other protective equipment is about 30 lbs. It depends on what position the player is playing. Quarterbacks wear less compared to a lineman.
Hurdling: not a requirement for a running back or wide receiver, but a talent which can come in handy, as you've seen. The one time I can think of where hurdling or forward leaping is somewhat expected are those goal-line plays where the quarterback or a running back attempts to leap over the line to move the ball a few feet to make the touchdown. Vertical jumping: you expect an excellent wide receiver to be able to leap upward over the defender to pull in a pass, as the video shows. The shots where someone is getting up from the ground: apparently those impressed whoever made the video; that's all. Good video!
You should most definitely watch bull riding. Bull riding crashes Bull fighter saves Bull fighter freestyle Bull fighting is not the Spanish kind. The bull comes out unharmed. Also Nascar crashes. Nascar radioactive which is the in car audio communication. For NFL check out NFL Mic'd up moments. I could go on! There is a lot of sports unique to the Americas that you may enjoy.
As you soon as the ball crosses the goal line while you have possession it's a touchdown, so even the play where he lost the ball reaching it over the line, it is still a touchdown not turnover. Because as soon as the ball crossed the goal line & he had possession it was a touchdown & the play is over.
@@ukreacts6850 You can also see players touching the pylons (Foam markers that stick up on the edges of the end zone) with the ball because if the ball touches & you have not stepped or landed out of bounds its a touchdown. The pylon is considered part of the end zone. This includes people whose body is completely out of bounds but in the air & no part of their body has touched the ground, & they reach the ball out over the end zone. That's a touchdown. The ball only needs to "break the plain of the end zone" before a body part touches the ground out of bounds.
8:06 What was he going to go? A lot of times in the NFL a single yard makes a huge difference. For example if you're on 4th and 3, and you get 2 yards not 3, you immediately turn the ball over to the other team and you get nothing out of the drive. That's one example of many where a single yard makes is a big deal.
It wasn’t popular 20 years ago jumping over people aka “hurdling” but it got really popular pretty fast you see it a decent amount from running backs, and wide receivers
The reason why u see players jumping and making an effort to only go one or two more yards is because the offense gets four try’s (called downs) to get the ball ten yards and once they make those ten yards their amount of try’s gets set back to four. If they don’t get the ten yards they lose possession
Bull Riding (PBR) would blow your mind. The wrecks are crazy and scary. Also, I've seen Brits have quite the reaction to tornado chaser videos, & videos from the Iowa Derecho. Nascar is something you may not be familiar with either which is unique, an evolution of moonshine runners showing off their cop outrunning skills. I'm a novice at learning about sports too, so y'all correct me if that's wrong.
Look up these videos “NFL Terrible Weather Games” and “NFL Top 3 Coldest Games” (when they say the temperatures, remember they are in Fahrenheit, not Celsius - so have your conversion chart handy)
the standing up ones (the player is Zay Jones) are on here, because they should be physically impossible. When Jones did it the first time the internet went crazy.
Football pads plus the helmet can weigh upwards of 20lbs. But since it's distributed across your body you don't really feel it. The helmet weighs about twice what the shoulder pads do. It's basically foam and plastic.
The way he gets up off the floor is impressive because he’s barely using any hands it’s all in one stride. You should try to get off the floor and see how hard it The same way he does.
To help a little, those yellow flags were for pass interference. As a defender, you have to be either facing the ball (actively going after the ball) while also not hindering the receiver. In most of those cases you questioned the defender was not reacting/facing the ball so it'll be called for pass interference. Also, some of these are here because in the NFL both feet have to remain in bounds to count as a catch, so some of those reaching but keeping their feet straight is to just barely keep them in bounds to make the catch.
by the way, if you see someone #1-19 hitting someone hard and everyone freaks out its because its usually a kicker or a quarter back and they usually dont hit people
You are the hardest to impress NFL reactor on TH-cam, and I watch all of them. Guy jumps like 20 feet, and you say, nice little jump there. React to bull riding wrecks. No way you'd not be impressed.
LOL i do my best not to pretend to be impressed just for the views! However, I have really enjoyed the NFL journey so far! The bull riding sounds fun tho
First let me just say welcome to the US! It’s been real fun watching you react to the athleticism of the players, but I think it would be interesting to see your reaction to the culture of football, and for that I’d actually recommend college football. The NFL is great, but if you want to see true passion, tradition and sheer love for the game you have to check out college football, which contain teams over 100 years old. I’d recommend starting with Best Traditions in College Football video. Can’t wait to keep watching your journey.
Interesting that you mentioned the variety of plays in American football v rugby which has less variety. I think you'll find the same in a baseball v cricket comparison as well. Baseball (MLB- Major League Baseball) videos you might like to react to: longest home runs, longest outfield throws, fastest infield throws, head shots, homeplate collisions. A lot of other English You Tubers have enjoyed reacting to baseball as well as American football.
A lot of great videos on youtube about baseball, I think he'll be impressed.Remember in most countries its mostly just soccer maybe a little rugby and cricket, non-americans arent use to the enormous amount of sports we have at every level from high school to the pro level.
I think you may underestimate how high and how far some of these jumps are. Some of these travel 6 or 7 meters. Most of the airborne catches these guys are a meter or more off the ground while making a crazy hard catch. But yes, some of them were just nice plays. You should check out Sports Science w/Drew Brees. It'll give you an idea just how accurate some of these QBs are.
During the break between plays, there is a lot of strategy being thought and planned by the coaches on both teams just for the next play. You would be impressed at the level and amount of strategy that is involved in every play.
If you are looking for players than look up Bo Jackson. He is one of a handful of players who played multiple professional sports at the highest level.
I think part of what you have to consider in these plays is the size of these guys. They are absolutely huge so the agility and getting off the ground in the first place is huge.
You're right about that ... I didn't exactly take into consideration how high these men were actually jumping
Great ASMR voice
lol maybe ill give it a go sometime

Pads usually add anywhere from 10-20 pounds depending on the position. (Approx. Half a kilo)
Helmets make up most of that too. The pads in pants are just pieces of foam you place in a pocket designed for them. Shoulder pads aren't all that heavy, as they're just plastic and foam.
10-20lbs.....um, how much do you think half a kilo weighs??? 😂
Every time someone jumps over another player you have to remember the average height in the NFL is around 190cm. Granted defensive backs are closer to 177 in average, but that's still not a "little jump" lol
lol you make a good point
The play at the 6:50 mark was a touchdown because the ball broke the plane (the white line), before he lost the ball
Come on I need a little more love for the Jerome Simpson flip. That was amazing.
Perhaps I was a little hard on him lol
3:57 - No it's not a normal move. And to your point, a lot of coaches try to discourage these moves for fear of the players getting injured or losing the ball.
that makes sense
Bull Riding is a blast to watch, Looking forward to see your channel grow.
Thank you! Ill have to get on those bull riding videos soon!
NFL Hurdles by Ding Productions is a good video to see the different angles or how high they’re going. The average player is like 6’2 (about 1.87m) just for reference

In the first clip he stood up backwards. Amazing strength.
It’s more impressive when these 200-300 pound men are jumping over 6ft plus tall men
Baseball is a good idea. "MLB Hit by pitch benches clear" is a good one lol
any bench clearing brawl is a good video.
Are there American sports that DON'T involve violence?! lol
@@ukreacts6850 yes its called golf.
Most of these gravity defining moments don't look impressive but it's actually doing it yourself that makes it difficult.

And then some dude reacting “nice little jump, I guess”
Devin Hester Highlights. This is the greatest kick returner of all time. His highlights are insane!!
Adding his name to the list!

By Ninh Ly, which ironically, he's also British... th-cam.com/video/Ddwp1HyEFRE/w-d-xo.html
You just have to cross the line with the noze of the ball to score a touchdown
And have full possession of the ball

Keelan cole Jaguars. Probably the best catch I have ever seen. Caught the ball one handed and did a flip.
When I played In college I weighed myself with and without padding and it was a difference of about 17 pounds. So it’s in the ballpark of that number
That's a lot of extra weight to defy gravity with
NFL protective gear is about 10 lbs, mostly in the helmet and shoulder pads, which each are around 4-5lbs each.

I'm a novice at learning about sports too, so y'all correct me if that's wrong.
'moonshine runners showing off their cop outrunning skills' sounds amazing! lol
Look up these videos
“NFL Terrible Weather Games”
and
“NFL Top 3 Coldest Games” (when they say the temperatures, remember they are in Fahrenheit, not Celsius - so have your conversion chart handy)
If you never played football you would never understand how hard it is to catch the ball and he did it one handed
the standing up ones (the player is Zay Jones) are on here, because they should be physically impossible. When Jones did it the first time the internet went crazy.
Nah hurdling people is just a random thing some guys can do 4:28
Football pads plus the helmet can weigh upwards of 20lbs. But since it's distributed across your body you don't really feel it. The helmet weighs about twice what the shoulder pads do. It's basically foam and plastic.
Hurdeling usually isn't a normal move. But has become very popular recently. And yes most would agree that it is more dangerous
Your 100% correct no coach wants players to do it but when it works your kinda just have to let it go lol.
Most of these wide receivers and running back have extensive track and field backgrounds.
Padding weighs about 4-6lbs. Reggie jumped just over 5 yards which is about 5 meters.
It should be noted that in American Football, "Blocks" are considered a far more aggressive action than a passive one.
I would say one of the craziest team to do the coolest moves are the Raiders but they recently moved to Las Vegas Nevada so
randy moss best receiver well one of the group...
Also hurdles and spin moves are so normal that when you play Madden NFL on PlayStation triangle is hurdle and circle is spin move 🤣
The way he gets up off the floor is impressive because he’s barely using any hands it’s all in one stride. You should try to get off the floor and see how hard it The same way he does.
Requires some insane hamstring and core strength
that's a good point actually
The coach will tell you never hurdle people.
To help a little, those yellow flags were for pass interference. As a defender, you have to be either facing the ball (actively going after the ball) while also not hindering the receiver. In most of those cases you questioned the defender was not reacting/facing the ball so it'll be called for pass interference.
Also, some of these are here because in the NFL both feet have to remain in bounds to count as a catch, so some of those reaching but keeping their feet straight is to just barely keep them in bounds to make the catch.
It's called Hurtles...and yes common.
Running backs routinely jump people the thing is to waite tell the defensemen is committed to his tackel so when you jump he cant come up and flip you
by the way, if you see someone #1-19 hitting someone hard and everyone freaks out its because its usually a kicker or a quarter back and they usually dont hit people
It’s defying gravity bc pads are heavy 😂
lol perhaps I was a little too hard on them
Should watch the ultimate mixtape of Michael Jordan. That's actual gravity defying lol
You are the hardest to impress NFL reactor on TH-cam, and I watch all of them. Guy jumps like 20 feet, and you say, nice little jump there. React to bull riding wrecks. No way you'd not be impressed.
LOL i do my best not to pretend to be impressed just for the views! However, I have really enjoyed the NFL journey so far! The bull riding sounds fun tho
First let me just say welcome to the US! It’s been real fun watching you react to the athleticism of the players, but I think it would be interesting to see your reaction to the culture of football, and for that I’d actually recommend college football. The NFL is great, but if you want to see true passion, tradition and sheer love for the game you have to check out college football, which contain teams over 100 years old. I’d recommend starting with Best Traditions in College Football video. Can’t wait to keep watching your journey.
That does sound interesting!
You need to watch,Barry Sanders greatest runs.
All and all the uniform and pads are around 12 to 15 lbs
All the Attempter has to do is break the plane of their respective endzone.
If they hit the Orange thing at the side of the endzone that counts as a touchdown
In the first clip of the video the player pretty much stood up using all ankle power.
if you seen NFL players train you would know how strong there legs are.
Interesting that you mentioned the variety of plays in American football v rugby which has less variety. I think you'll find the same in a baseball v cricket comparison as well. Baseball (MLB- Major League Baseball) videos you might like to react to: longest home runs, longest outfield throws, fastest infield throws, head shots, homeplate collisions. A lot of other English You Tubers have enjoyed reacting to baseball as well as American football.
A lot of great videos on youtube about baseball, I think he'll be impressed.Remember in most countries its mostly just soccer maybe a little rugby and cricket, non-americans arent use to the enormous amount of sports we have at every level from high school to the pro level.
You should react to best college football crowds
Once the ball breaks the plane of the goal line it's a touchdown and the play is over it dont matter if you lose the ball after that
You need to react to american Rodeo bull riding.
Im hearing this a lot ... guess ill have to soon!
I think you may underestimate how high and how far some of these jumps are. Some of these travel 6 or 7 meters. Most of the airborne catches these guys are a meter or more off the ground while making a crazy hard catch. But yes, some of them were just nice plays.
You should check out Sports Science w/Drew Brees. It'll give you an idea just how accurate some of these QBs are.
As long as the ball breaks the goal line then it's a touchdown
During the break between plays, there is a lot of strategy being thought and planned by the coaches on both teams just for the next play. You would be impressed at the level and amount of strategy that is involved in every play.
He crossed the plane of the end zone so he didn’t lose the ball
pads are heavy as hell
More random than cmon
You need to check out Barry Sanders. He's the greatest running back of all time, in my opinion. Some of the best jukes in NFL history
Im seeing his name mentioned a lot
If you are looking for players than look up Bo Jackson. He is one of a handful of players who played multiple professional sports at the highest level.
