There's a clip from a college football championship game that you have to watch in your next reaction video. You can find it on TH-cam, just search "Major Wright hit" and it will pop up. My favorite hit of all time.
It tickles me to pieces watching people react to American football hits for the first time. They cringe and are concerned, as the normal human should. Then there’s the American..screaming “hit him harder!” 🤣
Dude many of us grew up hearing " nice hit" after we smoked some poor guy. Your team a little behind send in the head hunters. ( The aggressive guys who will make a guy think twice about catching a pass)
The music is so perfectly synced that it's hard to resist another viewing! Plus there really are some spectacular tackles there (and a few where you wince because the players are clearly injured).
@@colejarvis666 Hell yea! Used to watch it before Hockey games and Football games when I was younger! It’s almost like a ritual for youngins to watch this when they get into contact sports lol
When my son was young and playing football, I had a t-shirt that said, “Football teaches boys that when you have something, there are 11 others that want to take it away from you.”
American football causes the most injuries usurpingly out of all sports. A lot of the big hits are called for a flag now (meaning you aren't allowed to do that) to protect player safety. There are very few players that never get an injury while playing football. That's the beauty of Football.
@@jacoblittlequigs Are you accounting for the fact that there are hundreds of bull riders vs tens of thousands of football players? How about a statistic of injuries per 100 participants in each(I don't know those stats)
@@rubroken yes bull riders in that case have more injuries than football players. But a majority of players never play. There are 70 players on a football team and only 24 get serious playing time. Most bull riders ride bulls and aren't on a bench waiting to ride. With that being said that fact doesn't dissolve the fact that football still has a lot more injuries globally.
Yeah I liked Sean Taylor, but I have to admit that hit on a punter in the probowl made me think less of him as a human. RIP either way. Hell of a ball player.
Adam one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time was Vince Lombardi who coached the Green Bay Packers to many championships. He had a famous quote about the game: “Football isn’t a contact sport. It’s a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport” 😳
@@wadeintonature2975 but didnt he coach GB to championships before there was a superbowl? remember the league was around for many years before the superbowl and they had their own versions of championships.
brother, we do this shit at 10 yrs old in the states... our 9th grade team at a small highschool had 3 ambulances on the sideline for every game and frequently used them. i personally lost a tooth, a broken arm, a heat stroke, and multiple collapsed blood vesseles to 3 yrs of football. and id do it all again lol. best sport i ever played.
Some people play this at as early as ELEMENTRY SCHOOL. our high schools have full football fields on them for the sport as well and we have high school level championships.
We take kids when they are 6 and begin the journey of toughness! My son played Peewee football for 3 years until he got hurt with a dirty hit (a kid speared him in his back with his helmet) I was there every Saturday watching him play. I was one of the down marker holders on the sidelines. It was AMAZING! Anyway.. I digress.. Kids are taught at a very young age to be rough, tough and smart. Some kids are dirty.. Some not. They go through Jr high and high school training to be that way. By the time they get to college, they are ready for anything. The trainers have to be top notch. The kids need to listen to the trainers and work on their bodies and minds daily to prevent injury. Football is a beautiful and brutal sport. My family and I love it dearly. Pre-season starts in a week, and we are already excited! So yes.. The hits you see in this video are awesome, but many are now considered penalties for obvious reasons.
Theyve made rule changes in the name of safety in recent years, but when I was learning the game, it was always taught that if someone wants to go over the middle of the field and catch a ball, you make them regret that choice and never want to do it again
I can't talk for the generations that came after mine, but back in the 70s and 80s, most of us kids were playing backyard football, no pads, hitting our buddies as hard as we could. Just part of being a kid for us gen-xers.
A lot of big hits are flags now. There used to be a show called jacked up on ESPN. I believe it aired from 2002-2006 and it was awesome! That was before Roger Goodell (the football devil) was commissioner.
When my son played football I saw a study that said on a kickoff return or any other play where the players could get up to full speed when they hit together it’s like hitting two compact cars together head on at 30 miles per hour. Around here the kids can start playing partial contact football when they are 4 years old. Mostly they just run into each other and fall down. When you drive past the practice field some of the kids are so small that you can barely see a person, it just looks like a pile of pads with a helmet on top. One thing about the teams up until the kids get to be 9 or 10 years old you will have some girls playing football on the teams and believe me when I say the girls that play are some of the roughest meanest players on the field. When my daughter played the opposing team would always run at her because she was a girl and the coaches thought they could just run over her. Ten minutes or so into the game they would start doing plays that deliberately took the ball to parts of the field where she and her two friends were not. If you haven’t watched it yet there is a couple of videos out there that show the worst weather games played. If you doubt football players are crazy watch them and end your doubts. One game they show it was so cold the refs couldn’t use their whistles because they froze to them.
It amazes me that on TH-cam whenver there is some person, whether it is a rugby fan or someone from another country or anything, who posts a video about "Biggest football hits ever!" it is always this video. It is an awesome video.
To watch him react to this is amazing being a football player my self all of those guys got up for the next play and played the rest of the game it’s also very difficult to pop somebody’s helmet off
At the age of 53, I've had 5 surgeries to correct and repair things caused by 4 years of High school and 1 and 1/2 years of college football. Destroyed knee, 3 vertebra fused in my back, shoulder labrum repair, and corrected a badly broken and immobile finger. I loved football so much, I wouldn't go back and change anything, but I suffer in pain every day for it....and that's not even playing at the pro level. I was never even remotely good enough for that and was just a average no name fullback, and I was forced out of Div 3 college football by mounting injuries that I mentioned above, the worst being the cracked vertebra. Can you imagine what the actual retired pros go through when they get to my age? I was lucky too, I only ever had one concussion that I know of, and it was crazy. I was on special teams as well and on a kick off i collided helmet to helmet with another guy full speed and my lights went out. I mean completely, i was so concussed and brain blasted I was almost totally blind...could not even see to stagger back to the bench. I went back in to the game about 10 minutes later....that night i spent hours in from of the toilet throwing up I was so sick from the concussion. To be fair, no one really thought much about CTE back then, it was way before the push to make the sport more impact friendly. Never told anyone about it besides my family. I walked away from football about a month later, thankfully fully recovered head wise, but still with a lot of other injuries.
9:53 Mark, number 4 is Mark Barron.. you could do an entire montage of him at Bama.. I love when he was here because you were gonna see a game of him being a monster. I loved playing football, we grew up on that down here and everyone plays..
Grew up playing football...when we were younger all the guys on the block I grew up on played football out in the field across the street from our house. No pads and full tackle. We would basically beat the crap outta each other and than go have lunch. We're some crazy corn and beef fed Midwesterners though. Playing in the snow was my favorite.
Football wasn't my favorite sport that I played , but it built character, courage and comradery like nothing else can. It turns boys into men....crippled men😂
Most of these hits are between guys of similar size, so it’s not like one little guy got flattened by a big guy. Several of the punt return hits were penalties, but I don’t think anyone got seriously hurt in these hits.
When my son played football in school it was pretty much understood if you were just standing flat footed and got hit you were probably going to get hurt. If you could get braced for it or were moving yourself the hits would look bad but you didn’t get hurt as bad.
I had one of these moments in peewee football at like age 11 or something where a blind side block tore me up. All the parents went "oooohhhhh" made sure i never heard that again lol.
@@brianfranceschini7497 Ronnie Lott is SO badass, when he injured his finger, he had the doc cut the tip off to get back on the field the next week, because surgery would have kept him out for about a month.
When I was 11, I was an OL chasing a DB that had just intercepted the ball when I got hit with a blindside block (totally legal) so hard that I quit football the next day. All of the other players had had growth spurts except me. I went from one of the biggest players to the smallest. I joined the band the next year and all it cost me was my liver! Good times!
The thing that you may need to know... hits like this also happen at high school level... all over the nation. You just don't see them in videos like this because most of those games are not recorded by mass media. The professional and college games are on the weekend... but Friday Night Lights (High School Football) can also be just as amazing to watch.
Yeah, we were ruthless in high school back in the day. I've clotheslined, broken and launched a number of guys that was caught on video and shown to us the next day for after game review. The few times I helped my college team practice I was actually told to go easy on the players because they still needed to play, my response was if they can't take it here they'll be destroyed on the field, never made it pro, felt my knees starting to go so I slowed down.
When playing football, keep your head up, back strait and stay low; it's painless (most the time). If one hesitates, they are guaranteed a world of pain.
You should see the hit Steve Atwater laid on Christian “The Nigerian Nightmare” Okoye. Okoye was used to running over defenders like speed bumps but Atwater literally made Okoye come to a complete stop and fall back on his rump.
"Get up and make eggs the next day" yeah a lot of them don't. Thankfully rules/preparation/recovery has gotten tons better in the last decade in particular.
I remember my junior year a buddy of mine in high school team rocked some rival team player for the ENTIRE halftime..when halftime was over he was still laying on the ground
I love watching foreigners reactions to football hits, since I was someone who delivered those hits in High School (I played Middle Linebacker) I loved it! It was a mans sport where you knew at any given time it could be you that was carried off the field next, it was straight up feral! My little League team use to give out small skull and crossbones stickers to put on the back of your helmet for every time someone had to be helped of the field because of a hit you delivered. Now I can't even watch the sport anymore since they nerfed the hell out of it.
My favorite quote my coach gave me back in high school: "You're the conductor of a train. When you hit the field, go punch their ticket" I was 275 Junior year (125kg)
That Auburn clip against Arkansas at 4:20 is honestly one of the best clips of all time. Bro breaks the first dudes ankles and makes him fall on the ground and then his buddy gets absolutely leveled not even 2 seconds later😭😭
Nice to see some Canadian Football (that is a different sport from American Football, btw) and more specifically CFL highlights thrown into the video. Edmonton Eskimos (now known as Edmonton Elks), Montreal Alouettes, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Calgary Stampeders, Toronto Argonauts, BC Lions were shown. Only Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Redblacks were not shown (mostly because those were very old highlights when Ottawa were still trying to get back to the league after folding twice). PS. I'm surprised this video didn't show that one hit by Edmonton Eskimos offensive lineman Matt O'Donnell on Saskatchewan Roughriders linebacker Diamond Ferri... Ferri was knocked out.
Believe me, most of these guys are not getting up the next day, making coffee & going to the gym 😂At the very least a lot will be under concussion protocol for a week, sometimes more, and that's only the head injuries, which are some of the most common, along with knee injuries. A few of these hits were season ending, I believe. Brutal sport it is. That's why I love it!
That's what makes this game so violent. It's also why this game has so many athletes go injured virtually 100% of the time sometime in their careers. Careers are quite often cut short because of injuries due to the physics of hits like these. This is also why there's studies done on brain mashing inside the heads of these players. CTE, for the acronym or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
This starts as early as high school in the US. I don't know many of my friends, or myself, that didn't get multiple concussions during high school football. Also had a kid get a spinal injury that changed his life. Looking back I wouldn't want my kids playing it. I loved it but the risk is not worth the reward
Ed Reed laying out the punter on a fake punt in the pro-bowl never gets old. Its a glorified flag football game and they were doing it as a joke and Ed was like "NOT UP IN HER" lol dude had 0 chill. He was full send 100% of the time, pre-season, regular season, post season, pro bowl... don't matter. Ed Reed's head hunting and you better watch TF out.
"It's like a car crash." Um, yes. American Football tackles do in fact register impact forces that equal and exceed the impact forces in major vehicle collisions.
Some of the clips are College, High School and Peewee football. They start out early here. I have 3 great nephews that play and they are absolute bangers in the field. They all 3 are in Middle and Elementary school
A huge difference between rugby and US Football is that in football we can block. Hitting people without the ball. Many plays are designed to hit a player that isn't necessarily looking the direction of the block so a lot of the huge collisions come from that. At least the person carrying the ball is expecting to be hit, but the others have to keep their head "on a swivel" paying attention to those that may be hitting them.
Shoulder pads and helmets reduce the impact blow by at least 75%. Theres been times you get hit like this and it doesnt even hurt and you pop right back up
We can't play like we used to just a few years ago. I remember rocking a douglas cowboy collar to turn my helmet, neck, and shoulders into a single unit to hit harder with. Times have changed and special teams suck now.
The song is a banger, but so is every other song by Nelly. 😊 He's from my hometown of St. Louis Missouri, and he's a great person, too. He's given so much back to his community!
There are running backs who hit hard too they are a type of running back known as the power back. Please do the most feared running backs of all time from NFL films. great reaction by the way.
As a teenager ♀I didn't understand all the rules of the game (downs, points, why they're kicking, etc)... so I watched JUST FOR THE BOOM 😁 Didn't care what team was playing... just watched for the BOOM 🤙 Today, I still just watch for the Boom... and the National Anthem.
As an american football player this what one of my teams drills were like we had our running back go up against our safety the safety got thrown a good 5 yards. Also for me I'm sore for about 5 days
They practice both giving and taking those sorts of hits, and they are wearing padding. They're also typically in very good physical condition. But every one of those hits takes a toll on the body and brain.
So it turns out I’ve watched this video before 😂
Memory of a goldfish?😂
That's okay, I like watching some videos more than once
Yep this was the first American football video you had ever seen
I was like I think hes watched this vid b4
It's got to be one of the most reacted-to videos on yt.

I think professional bull riding might cause more injuries than football(just a guess)
@@rubroken there is somewhere around 1300 bull riding injuries annually. Vs 1.2 million injuries in football
@@jacoblittlequigs Are you accounting for the fact that there are hundreds of bull riders vs tens of thousands of football players? How about a statistic of injuries per 100 participants in each(I don't know those stats)

@@jacoblittlequigs Both are brutal sports
As a Washington fan, seeing my man Sean Taylor in these clips always makes me happy. Especially that Pro Bowl hit on the punter.
When he leveled Brian Moorman, the punter, in the PRO BOWL, and Moorman got up and shook his hand...
Yeah I liked Sean Taylor, but I have to admit that hit on a punter in the probowl made me think less of him as a human.
RIP either way. Hell of a ball player.
@@JohnDoe-kh6mt hey at least he was actually playing. Don't wanna get hit don't be a ball carrier.
lol, I love how he's like, 'They got children in there?!' when like 1/4 of the vids are of high school football :P
And half of what's left are university games, not professional

The first two, and three championships prior.
I remember seeing video of him saying this and nodding my head while smiling.
The bulk of pro games are on Sunday PM. The following day is called MRI Monday for a reason.
It's always funny watching people cringe at big hits, it only pumps me so much 😂
Remember, this is what we call “fun”😂

One of the biggest concerns is the concussions. It changes the brain and several players have become violent or suicidal.

That Auburn clip against Arkansas at 4:20 is honestly one of the best clips of all time. Bro breaks the first dudes ankles and makes him fall on the ground and then his buddy gets absolutely leveled not even 2 seconds later😭😭
Nice to see some Canadian Football (that is a different sport from American Football, btw) and more specifically CFL highlights thrown into the video. Edmonton Eskimos (now known as Edmonton Elks), Montreal Alouettes, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Calgary Stampeders, Toronto Argonauts, BC Lions were shown. Only Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Redblacks were not shown (mostly because those were very old highlights when Ottawa were still trying to get back to the league after folding twice).
PS. I'm surprised this video didn't show that one hit by Edmonton Eskimos offensive lineman Matt O'Donnell on Saskatchewan Roughriders linebacker Diamond Ferri... Ferri was knocked out.
Believe me, most of these guys are not getting up the next day, making coffee & going to the gym 😂At the very least a lot will be under concussion protocol for a week, sometimes more, and that's only the head injuries, which are some of the most common, along with knee injuries. A few of these hits were season ending, I believe. Brutal sport it is. That's why I love it!
This has me so damn ready for Fall Saturdays in the South. RMFT
That's what makes this game so violent. It's also why this game has so many athletes go injured virtually 100% of the time sometime in their careers. Careers are quite often cut short because of injuries due to the physics of hits like these. This is also why there's studies done on brain mashing inside the heads of these players. CTE, for the acronym or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
OMG, every time I watch Adam I'm laughing my ass off😂😂😂😂
Thanks brother!
Love you page man keep it up 👍👍
Thanks mate!
0:50 people have said that some impacts of the hits can feel like being in a crash
This starts as early as high school in the US. I don't know many of my friends, or myself, that didn't get multiple concussions during high school football. Also had a kid get a spinal injury that changed his life. Looking back I wouldn't want my kids playing it. I loved it but the risk is not worth the reward
I'm about to go watch more of those 😂
Ed Reed laying out the punter on a fake punt in the pro-bowl never gets old. Its a glorified flag football game and they were doing it as a joke and Ed was like "NOT UP IN HER" lol dude had 0 chill. He was full send 100% of the time, pre-season, regular season, post season, pro bowl... don't matter. Ed Reed's head hunting and you better watch TF out.
"It's like a car crash." Um, yes. American Football tackles do in fact register impact forces that equal and exceed the impact forces in major vehicle collisions.
Some of the clips are College, High School and Peewee football. They start out early here. I have 3 great nephews that play and they are absolute bangers in the field. They all 3 are in Middle and Elementary school
A huge difference between rugby and US Football is that in football we can block. Hitting people without the ball. Many plays are designed to hit a player that isn't necessarily looking the direction of the block so a lot of the huge collisions come from that. At least the person carrying the ball is expecting to be hit, but the others have to keep their head "on a swivel" paying attention to those that may be hitting them.
Shoulder pads and helmets reduce the impact blow by at least 75%. Theres been times you get hit like this and it doesnt even hurt and you pop right back up
I first heard this song from a comedy football movie called "The Longest Yard" with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. I still love the movie.
@@TheBlankJoker try watching the original with Burt Reynolds and a few NFL players
my son started foot ball @ 5 yrs old.... yes kids LOVE it
We can't play like we used to just a few years ago. I remember rocking a douglas cowboy collar to turn my helmet, neck, and shoulders into a single unit to hit harder with. Times have changed and special teams suck now.
Sitting here giggling like a school girl saying "Got dat ass" after every hit, lol
Of all the huge OFFENSIVE hits, the fact that this video chose Ahmad Bradshaw and him alone will always make me giggle. Great vid as always :)
Emmit Smith said to a reporter that the morning after every game feels like he was in a car accident.
The song is a banger, but so is every other song by Nelly. 😊 He's from my hometown of St. Louis Missouri, and he's a great person, too. He's given so much back to his community!
Rule number 1 in any football game...
You go across the middle, and the Free Safety WILL take your head off!
you survived this, you may be ready for Lawrence Taylor now
That big blue wrecking Crew!
Should watch the Earl Campbell NFL highlights. That man WOULD NOT GO DOWN! Very impressive
LMAO ya .. even our kids lay down the hammer 😂
There are running backs who hit hard too they are a type of running back known as the power back.
Please do the most feared running backs of all time from NFL films. great reaction by the way.
I love watching these!
This is why Americans and by extention Canadians laugh when we watch Soccer/football with the dives
As an american I still think your rugby guys are the real monsters especially with no pads.
They teach you early in American Football ‘“no mercy” either you hurt them or they hurt you’
Those screen passes out to the wing that take too long to get there are called "Hospital" passes because that's where the receiver ends up afterwards.
and you can't believe how huge these players are, linebackers who are 6'4" 260 running down running backs.
As a former defensive tackle we were taught to run through the receivers/tight ends
Legitimate gladiators many raised in the life.
As a teenager ♀I didn't understand all the rules of the game (downs, points, why they're kicking, etc)... so I watched JUST FOR THE BOOM 😁 Didn't care what team was playing... just watched for the BOOM 🤙 Today, I still just watch for the Boom... and the National Anthem.
I'm so glad you finally reacted to this 😂
He reacted to it a few years ago too lol. That was the video that introduced me to his channel
@@ThisIsJames1031I missed that but I've watched his other football videos 👍
@@markhager632 you should try to find it. It's fun seeing how his channels and reactions have changed over the years.
@@ThisIsJames1031I genuinely can’t even remember watching this, but you are correct 😂😂😂
to this day, 4:29 is still the most craziest hit i’ve ever witnessed
As an american football player this what one of my teams drills were like we had our running back go up against our safety the safety got thrown a good 5 yards.
Also for me I'm sore for about 5 days
The hits are by far the best part of the game
They practice both giving and taking those sorts of hits, and they are wearing padding. They're also typically in very good physical condition. But every one of those hits takes a toll on the body and brain.
I will never forget that Kenny Bell block
