If you can take a second and give this video a thumbs up, I would REALLY appreciate it 👊🏼Please help this video get 5,000 THUMBS UP 🔥 What're your thoughts on what happened to Deondre Francois' career? Do you think he deserves a shot at the next level?
I remember thinking how FSU lucked up and got a a great QB, but didnt't think to recruit an offensive line? 🤔Who the fuck hiring these coaches and scouts! He had hella promise, and he was tough!
Doesn't take away the facts of what he said in that recording. Nothing excuses that. This guy making the video didn't even talk about that. And I'm a Nole fan. And that's not the type of people we want around.
Harris Highlights he is you always see him attending charities giving back to his community and feeding people that are less fortunate I salute too him although i love football its not life
Well, he had off the field problems like Jameis 😂😂 But yeah it's a damn shame we never got to see what he could've done. That injury honestly might've set FSU back for a number of years. Thanks as always for watching my guy!
Next Winston is a stretch but kid was supposed to b solid and was his year under Fisher. Injury out season, next season no Fisher, no o line and Walt Bell guiding him u can see how it fell apart.
As a Miami fan I had some respect for him. Dude took some monster hits and kept going. Hard to not play for a kid that had the heart he showed on the field
Florida State has had talent at the skill positions every year since their championship. The forgot to recruit the fundamental positions, offensive line, and it has cost them everything. Francois had potential to be great, but the inability to block a basic four man rush cost this man his career and it’s why Florida State is a joke nowadays.
Harris Highlights yeah the injury sped up their collapse, but I think the seeds were already planted at that point. The oline was trash in the years after Winston and Gholson. I’m also not sure that the culture Fisher had at the end of his tenure at FSU was very sustainable without him at the helm. I read some article on Bleacher Report about the struggles Taggart had transitioning the team to his philosophy from Fishers.
This is what happens when the player is a perfect franchise type of player but had a toxic girlfriend and got hurt. That’s literally the only reasons why he was ignored. The skill is there and leadership seems to be there.
It’s upsetting to see a dude that came up short of filling Jameis’ shoes due to the lack of talent and coaching around him. Shit hit different when he didn’t even want his O Line to help him up after getting sacked 😭😭😭
Francois had alot of talent. He was like the 4th best QB in his class when we got him. His 1st season starting he was great. Three for 3350 yards. We finished top 10 in the country with a big win over Michigan in the Orange bowl. Then going into that next season we WAYYYYY hyped up. Started off #3 in the country! Us Nole fans were pumped about that season. We were starting off vs Bama! And then Francois got hurt and our season went down the tubes. But Francois was never the same after that. Physically and mentally. Physically he couldn't run or do things like he did in 2016. But mentally he was not the same guy either. He shied away from hits and flenched like he never did before. We literally had the worst OL in the country. But still Deondre wasn't the same guy as he was pre injury. Such a shame, because he would have been a solid NFL QB. But he wasn't the type of guy that we want at our program. Those things he was saying in that video, it was not good. And when he got hurt, he was a shitty teammate. He didn't stick around and try to help the team, sometimes he would miss practice and even games. He was absent. The whole thing was unfortunate.
Man. This was really the beginning of the end for FSU.🙈 My dad and I love to discuss the what if’s of the 2017 season, a year in which we had national championship hopes. It’s sad to see FSU struggle the way they have been, as we still have a ton of talent on that team. Hopefully Mike Norvell can bring us back to where FSU is supposed to be.
He is a great person of character. Good ball player and teammate. He had the bad luck of being at Clemson behind DW4 and then was to one dimensional against Top Tier team and could not hold on to the starting QB. He made a decision that was best for him and left Clemson. Why he picked MO at that particular time in thier history is beyond me and can only be answered by him. To quote The Last Crusade, "He chose poorly." Just like Feaster going to SC. These guys didn't exactly line thenselves up with programs that could help them with only a year to work with.
@@erikkunkle9574 Mizou was better than some would think at the time. It gave him a shot to have a good season in the SEC in a year where Mizzou was banned from a bowl game so there was no pressure for him to try to lead them to a good post season and no drama of making the decision to sit out a bowl game. Obviously now though it doesn’t seem like it was a good choice but tbh I can see why he chose Mizzou.
Great video man!!! I was wondering where the hell Deandre Francois went after that 2016 season. Sucks that everything happened to him. Hope he at least gets a shot somewhere in the league
This young man made some mistakes in life, however I am extremely proud of him because he was able to obtain two college degrees. Mr. Francois don't give up on your aspirations on and off the field.
You mean the Ted Ginn Jr that drops every other passes thrown to him? The Tedd Ginn who has good speed but overrun routes? the Tedd Ginn that dissapears in big games? ... Ok🤣🤣🤣🤣😴
@@tiajones6035 Don't date bitches if you're an athlete. It can only cause problems. Focus on school and football and secure the bag. Brian Banks learned the hard way
Came to the channel for the highlights. Stayed here for these videos. It’s always fun to look at the “what if’s” in college football because it can be so unpredictable . Keep up the great work 👍🏼.
Maaan I remember every game I watched this dude play at FSU there be Atleast 3-4 times a game where he just got absolutely ROCKED. Headshot concussion , whole deal.
Great coverage! Job well done guy. Just want to thank Deandre for giving back to his community. I hope he gets a chance to make a lot of money and doing something that he loves to do whether it's football or teaching young people especially young black guys in the community, they need somebody like this that can be raw and dirty with the truth of life and perseverance in spite of many downfalls. I hope God blesses you with a break that you really want in spite of it all.
Good video. The Alabama (my wife’s school) first game of the season and loss of him was a chain of events that sent FSU (my school) into a downward spiral.
Great video but not sure of the title. I didn't see a sad story, but one of a young man growing up and taking responsibility for his actions. Sounds like the story is still being written! ;)
Dude had a lot of talent just got hurt and got into trouble... Man he got destroyed behind that terrible offensive line... I have no idea how James Bkackman is still alive.
I remember checking this kid out when he first got to FSU. My first thoughts were, strong arm, athletic, and can pretty much put the ball anywhere on the field. But I also noticed that when he began taking the hits he took his freshman year, I said 1 of 2 things are going to happen, either he's going to get seriously injured, or transfer. And both happened. I strongly feel that if the O Line were stronger at FSU, he'd be able to finish his career there and thus get drafted. I'm glad he received his degrees. But I do hope and pray that he gets a chance in the NFL.
Deondre Francois was one of my Favorite quarterbacks (Im a Boise State Fan) and i was sad to see him get kicked off the team and then not even going to a FBS school hope hes doing well
Well Taggart just simply isn't that good of a coach. I have no idea why he's been given so many prestigious opportunities, he hasn't really accomplished much
I spent my Junior and Senior years at IMG Academy playing Baseball. During my Junior year he was a Senior and we had class, Yoga and Media Training with him. I don't like talking bad about people, but I will say this... I'm not surprised about anything that's happened to him. I do wish him the best though, and I pray things end up working out...
I never understand why these 4 and 5 star QB's go to these crowded QB rooms and not go to Rutgers, BC, Cincy, the MAC schools or even the Sun BElt (where they air the ball out...TROY is an example)? THey still get to play 2-3 Power Conference schools and Probably start from theor R-Frosh. Year or Soph. Year... and get drafted and be a true HERO at their chool instead of the NEW wonderboy replacing another, He should have gone to CINCY.
Francois struggled with accuracy coming out of highschool. His freshman year at FSU he had like a 48% completion percentage against ACC caliber talent. He was an ok college qb at best.
I loved this guy so much and i remember seeing that bama game where i looked at him and thought "yo, he lowkey look like Cam Newton with the visor and helmet on."
Well had he not smoked some 21 grams is a felony in the state of Florida. Is 17 might not be a lot but it was closer to being a felony and lucky for him he was under.
Finally somebody had some balls to realize the toughness and the grind of him trying to win. If nobody does remember the game vs Miami in 2016, my god this man took a bunch of punishment in that game and won that game. That had him on the map.
Your outro song makes me miss the NCAA football bad! Damn I wish they’d bring that back. I girl wouldn’t see me for the first month straight if that happened 😂
Honest question: Can someone please explain why there was so much hype surrounding Willie Taggert? I remember people raving about him--about how well he could recruit, etc. but I never saw all that hype manifest onto the field.
It had mostly to do with his version of the spread offense and the turnaround WKU had in employing it when he was HC there. Off the strength of that one Cinderella year he got hired at USF which then opened the door to him being hired at Oregon--all off the supposed strength of his spread. The thing about FSU was that he was a Florida homegrown & our AD (& boosters) at the time saw an opportunity to make a splash on two fronts: bringing a "high-octane" spread offense to Tallahassee as well as the first Black HC in FSU's history. Add those up and thats where it all came from. And then 2018 happened and....
One of my favorite quarterbacks in college. So much talent. If his offensive line didn’t kill him he’d be a top prospect coming into the draft. Possibly could of one of FSU’s greatest quarterbacks
Alright as someone that went to FSU, this guy cared about Instagram & his own clout more than winning or being a great QB. Regressed every season he played. Blame the O-Line all you want but this guy did nothing to help himself at FSU.
I don't know, he seems like he's been dedicated to winning throughout his whole career. I'm sure he was active on social media, but that team was entirely different in 2018 than it was in 2016.
Harris Highlights No disrespect to him or any other guys, but recruits in Jimbo Fishers 2015 & 2016 classes seemed to have a lot of very similar issues. Highly ranked entitled prospects that were led to believe they would succeed in the ACC based of just there talent alone. The amount of 4 & 5 star prospects that busted from those classes is astonishing. Guys like Deondre, Levonta Taylor, & Malik Henry to name a few.
And also learning from another perfectionist and QB Guru like Sean Payton would be one hell of a combo. The first year stats don't lie, when DeAndre was with Jimbo even with a garbage ass O-Line and being completely rocked and having to pick him self back up, he put up awesome numbers.
Like bro it was a dirty move, we went through drills the whole summer and he left without telling no one he was gone. The offense was getting changed for him and everything.
I'm proud of him because he got his degree. Everyone cant play in the NFL but I'm sure he will do something that will be rewarding for him and who every he impacts.
I'm not a big fsu fan (the U) but it's sad how his life and career went down. Nobody deserve that. And I do remember how he played well vs Miami and the ACC
I was at that ole miss game when FSU made their biggest comeback in school history. He lit it up 2nd half. Unfortunately it required a spatula to get him off the turf during his tenure at FSU. He has speed and pocket awareness. coulda definitely been something great with a dedicated coaching staff and an O line. Dude can take a hit though. Got everyone’s respect during that freshman campaign.

The history of Mountain West Football
If you’re going to read my article verbatim from the website the least you could do is give some type of credit.
Do Trent Thompson
His offensive lines should be charged with war crimes
It was sooo bad lol
Jackson Harvey 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I remember thinking how FSU lucked up and got a a great QB, but didnt't think to recruit an offensive line? 🤔Who the fuck hiring these coaches and scouts!
He had hella promise, and he was tough!
Not just that game but any game really. The entire Oline was shit but that 69 really gave some big ones up
so true
If FSU actually had an o line he would have been amazing.
Honestly....
Say it louder fam
5 random dudes that stood around blocking his vision. It was beyond pathetic
Straight facts
That and dumb playbook and we ran 3-4 defense for the first time got killed
“He dumped me so I’m going to ruin his entire life to get his attention”
smh...
Damn shame , women like this should be charged with a crime
Doesn't take away the facts of what he said in that recording. Nothing excuses that. This guy making the video didn't even talk about that. And I'm a Nole fan. And that's not the type of people we want around.
@@doubleboy2388 Private conversation shouldn't be leaked... Period.
@@doubleboy2388 STFU
I’m glad someone addressed his situation
It sucks because he seems like such a good dude
Harris Highlights he is you always see him attending charities giving back to his community and feeding people that are less fortunate I salute too him although i love football its not life
J A D E N faxx
He ended up getting his masters so it didn't really end bad. Kudos to him
He was supposed to be the next Jamis for FSU. Wild story about his career! Great video Blake!
Well, he had off the field problems like Jameis 😂😂 But yeah it's a damn shame we never got to see what he could've done. That injury honestly might've set FSU back for a number of years. Thanks as always for watching my guy!
Bro you Wilding for making that statement, he was supposed to be good but no one thought he was gonna be that good.
Next Winston is a stretch but kid was supposed to b solid and was his year under Fisher. Injury out season, next season no Fisher, no o line and Walt Bell guiding him u can see how it fell apart.
Ppl dnt realize he got to FSU at a bad time..
Actually Malik Henry was up next. Deandre Johnson was ahead of francios too
If he had a good O-line he would have had an amazing career
Yeah he took a lot of hits during his time at FSU
We didn’t have a line but wen we did under jimbo he was mediocre at best 🤷🏾♂️
King Nugi y’all never had a good line in his career. I really watched all his games and it seemed like he took 3-5 hard hits per a game
King Nugi those add up overtime and that can pretty much alter ur confidence in the pocket as a whole
Tio Olatunji Dalvin cook made it so easy for him but you right the line was trash
As a Miami fan I had some respect for him. Dude took some monster hits and kept going. Hard to not play for a kid that had the heart he showed on the field
Good to hear that he didn't waste his time in college and received his Masters. Good for you Deondre.
Crazy how one bad girl can basically ruin a dudes life
Its nuts
It was a guy
No it was him there is video proof he was abusing her tf don’t excuse his actions because he’s a athlete
Yea I remember the play he got hurt 🤧
Goth Girl Connoisseur, What evidence led you to call the girl “one bad girl”?
Florida State has had talent at the skill positions every year since their championship. The forgot to recruit the fundamental positions, offensive line, and it has cost them everything.
Francois had potential to be great, but the inability to block a basic four man rush cost this man his career and it’s why Florida State is a joke nowadays.
Yup. They've had potential every year, but it just never all adds up to form a great team. That injury really hurt FSU in the long run
Harris Highlights yeah the injury sped up their collapse, but I think the seeds were already planted at that point. The oline was trash in the years after Winston and Gholson.
I’m also not sure that the culture Fisher had at the end of his tenure at FSU was very sustainable without him at the helm. I read some article on Bleacher Report about the struggles Taggart had transitioning the team to his philosophy from Fishers.
@@greatness1438 That whole Taggart situation was such a mess
The Syracuse game in 2018 was the low point. That o-line was not a D1 unit. That's where the problem was because every other position was loaded.
Factual
Greatness requires sacrifice.. Women will always be around.. Focus and perfect your craft n leave these thirsty chicks alone
Bingo!!!
Facts
He sounds like the perfect XFL signing. Let's hope they can come out of bankruptcy and give him a chance
Well they did with the rock as the owner😎
He’s in the XFL. Nice prediction
This is what happens when the player is a perfect franchise type of player but had a toxic girlfriend and got hurt. That’s literally the only reasons why he was ignored. The skill is there and leadership seems to be there.
Yup he seems like a great guy.. just problems with those girls ruined him
It’s upsetting to see a dude that came up short of filling Jameis’ shoes due to the lack of talent and coaching around him. Shit hit different when he didn’t even want his O Line to help him up after getting sacked 😭😭😭
Had he had an above average O line, he would've thrived
I remember that. What jimbo and willie did or didn't do wasted so much talent this team had.
@@nathanieltaylor8270 💯

Thanks for watching, Anthony! Glad you enjoyed. I'm sure he'll get an opportunity somewhere
I was at the game where he got injured against bama - it was my first time in that new Benz superdome in Atlanta.
He went to my high school, i talked to him a fair amount of times and i was a freshman he was a Junior. Super nice guy. Wish him the best
I remember one of the first games of the season Ole Miss versus Florida State. My goodness they hit him so many times.
I wonder how many times he was sacked during his time at FSU
Harris Highlights countless. Probably avg 5 a game. Not including the QB hits.
A damn shame
This young man made some mistakes in life, however I am extremely proud of him because he was able to obtain two college degrees. Mr. Francois don't give up on your aspirations on and off the field.
We all makes mistakes in life, no one is perfect
He seems to ha e grown up. We are quick to forget that though in college these are still kids
Agree completely
Awesome that he still graduated. He will be successful in whatever he choses. He has drive
DeAndre is An excellent Athlete 👌
You should do Ted Ginn. Man has had a sneaky good NFL career. He’s top 25 all time all purpose
You mean the Ted Ginn Jr that drops every other passes thrown to him? The Tedd Ginn who has good speed but overrun routes? the Tedd Ginn that dissapears in big games? ... Ok🤣🤣🤣🤣😴

Way too early to count Malik out of sports...

When making this video I had COMPLETELY forgotten about James Blackman. But yeah I have no idea how he survived back there hahaha
Harris Highlights And he still has 2 years of eligibility... Oof
Does he really??? Damn
I played with Francois at Florida State. It's tragic and I'm rooting for him
I remember checking this kid out when he first got to FSU. My first thoughts were, strong arm, athletic, and can pretty much put the ball anywhere on the field. But I also noticed that when he began taking the hits he took his freshman year, I said 1 of 2 things are going to happen, either he's going to get seriously injured, or transfer. And both happened. I strongly feel that if the O Line were stronger at FSU, he'd be able to finish his career there and thus get drafted. I'm glad he received his degrees. But I do hope and pray that he gets a chance in the NFL.
Spot on
Deondre Francois was one of my Favorite quarterbacks (Im a Boise State Fan) and i was sad to see him get kicked off the team and then not even going to a FBS school hope hes doing well
It was so much fun watching him in 2016
He deserved so much better than the outcome he got. I hope he can find a way to make football work out for him again.
I love these videos keep it up!!!
Thanks my guy!
Loved this guy in college.
Florida Gators fan here, Florida State's dog shit o-line ruined this man's potential and college career
A shame to see
Please do why Willie Taggart Failed at Florida State and/or why why Mike Norvell will succeed at Florida State
Well Taggart just simply isn't that good of a coach. I have no idea why he's been given so many prestigious opportunities, he hasn't really accomplished much
Harris Highlights I feel they are trying to feed off of his success at USF
this dude still has potential no lie, you can just see it and the way he speaks proves it
I spent my Junior and Senior years at IMG Academy playing Baseball. During my Junior year he was a Senior and we had class, Yoga and Media Training with him. I don't like talking bad about people, but I will say this...
I'm not surprised about anything that's happened to him. I do wish him the best though, and I pray things end up working out...
Very interesting
Great video. As a die hard FSU fan, this makes me sad.
Thanks for watching, Tim!
His ex girlfriend ruined his career I honestly feel bad for him
I do too
A mean spurned woman is a dangerous thing.
I never understand why these 4 and 5 star QB's go to these crowded QB rooms and not go to Rutgers, BC, Cincy, the MAC schools or even the Sun BElt (where they air the ball out...TROY is an example)? THey still get to play 2-3 Power Conference schools and Probably start from theor R-Frosh. Year or Soph. Year... and get drafted and be a true HERO at their chool instead of the NEW wonderboy replacing another, He should have gone to CINCY.
He kept pushing and that’s what life is about he’s a role model and always will be respect too that man
I completely agree
He was damn good his first year as a starter but i think being filmed during that hbo show messed with him somehow.
I completely forgot about that show. I think it was the SHOWTIME

6:53 he said “17 GRAMS!” like it was 17 pounds 😂😂. 17 grams ain’t that much buddy
If it was 17 pounds I'm fairly certain he wouldn't be eligible for football anymore hahaha

17 gs is 4 backwoods lol

Well had he not smoked some 21 grams is a felony in the state of Florida. Is 17 might not be a lot but it was closer to being a felony and lucky for him he was under.

My exact thoughts 😂😂😂😂
Right🤣😭🤣😭🤣
NOT A SAD STORY..HE REALIZED HE COULD BE A MENTOR..TO CHILDREN..GOD BLESS HIM..GO FSU!❤
Miles Gentry go noles
You should Collin Klein or Jordan Lynch next
Finally somebody had some balls to realize the toughness and the grind of him trying to win. If nobody does remember the game vs Miami in 2016, my god this man took a bunch of punishment in that game and won that game. That had him on the map.

Alright as someone that went to FSU, this guy cared about Instagram & his own clout more than winning or being a great QB. Regressed every season he played. Blame the O-Line all you want but this guy did nothing to help himself at FSU.
I don't know, he seems like he's been dedicated to winning throughout his whole career. I'm sure he was active on social media, but that team was entirely different in 2018 than it was in 2016.
Harris Highlights No disrespect to him or any other guys, but recruits in Jimbo Fishers 2015 & 2016 classes seemed to have a lot of very similar issues. Highly ranked entitled prospects that were led to believe they would succeed in the ACC based of just there talent alone. The amount of 4 & 5 star prospects that busted from those classes is astonishing. Guys like Deondre, Levonta Taylor, & Malik Henry to name a few.
@@alexe727 You see that with a lot of guys it seems in the surrounding Florida schools like FSU, Miami & Florida
Even though football didn't work out for him, his education will take him far.
It will! Very smart of him to go back
As a saints fan I would love to have this kid on the roster.
Same here. I love his worth ethic
And also learning from another perfectionist and QB Guru like Sean Payton would be one hell of a combo. The first year stats don't lie, when DeAndre was with Jimbo even with a garbage ass O-Line and being completely rocked and having to pick him self back up, he put up awesome numbers.
great video! Do the Rodgers Brothers! James and JacQuizz ! Phenomenal Duo that upset ranked teams in college.
This guy looks so much like cam Newton with his helmet on lmao
Hahaha
They all do 😂
Your right😂😂😂
Once a nole always a nole, hope he does well
Remember watching this dude play... man was pretty special. Sad
Damn shame
he came back to 5th year at senior at hampton from a fsu fan he was good but you just gotta watch that anger
seriously though, I hope he's well - he was fun to watch.
He was at Alabama State for the summer of 2019 and dipped on them and attended Hampton in the fall
Ta'Ron Williams Damn, he would've had the Gump turnt all the way up if he had stayed
Like bro it was a dirty move, we went through drills the whole summer and he left without telling no one he was gone. The offense was getting changed for him and everything.
Ta'Ron Williams I agree. He would've had a better season at ASU. SWAC championship and probably a better shot at the pros like Tavaris Jackson.
Do Deandre Johnson
based on watching this video rn, when your a quarterback and go to FSU you shouldn't expect things to be perfect.
I am 100% confident he will be on a NFL roster. He will be an amazing comeback story
One day he definitely will
Many won't watch it like it used to be watched. Now we know and when we know we no longer feed it.
I think he would’ve been very good if his O Line wasn’t trash.
That O Line was atrocious
I'm proud of him because he got his degree. Everyone cant play in the NFL but I'm sure he will do something that will be rewarding for him and who every he impacts.
Deondre Francois sounds like one hell of a fine individual. We could use more like him.
Cant wait to watch him in the XFL
I swore this was a flemlo raps video lol
Haha he's my inspiration
Harris needs his own “ cue the Wayne “
@@TheWholeDamnShow007 "Yeaaaah" 😂😂😂😂
@@HarrisHighlights flemlo is a great youtuber
I'm not a big fsu fan (the U) but it's sad how his life and career went down. Nobody deserve that. And I do remember how he played well vs Miami and the ACC
Respect
I remember my brother was in the hospital when he went down in the Nama game, didn’t really help my day
He should’ve committed to Auburn we were in need of a QB at the time
Man who knows how different things could have been..
Decline of Rutgers or what if Johnathan Taylor didn’t decommit from Rutgers, or Chris Ash, the Hugh Jackson of college football
Poor kid… he’s battled through so much and didn’t even get an NFL tryout shits sad to hear
I was at that ole miss game when FSU made their biggest comeback in school history. He lit it up 2nd half. Unfortunately it required a spatula to get him off the turf during his tenure at FSU. He has speed and pocket awareness. coulda definitely been something great with a dedicated coaching staff and an O line. Dude can take a hit though. Got everyone’s respect during that freshman campaign.
