This is why you need to take good care of your body. I fill myself with an alpha male diet of meat, potatoes, and bananas and I lift every day, only upper body in case I need to get into a fight.
@@brocksheehan5560 No, beta male, I'm just naturally strong. I'll let you run on the treadmill and eat your fat free yogurt and vegan diet while I pump iron and get even more beastly and powerful.
@@brocksheehan5560 He plays ball at my gym. He's not joking when he says he's strong. One time some huge 6'2 200lb guy on the court tried messing with him and he knocked him out.
Call in show prior to every game: what’s Jared weighing in at today coach? The answer was always a cheeseburger below 300 pounds. Didn’t matter what he weighed he was a monster on the field who the defense feared. Remember him on his KNEES at the 50 yard line banging balls off the crossbar in warmups.
“Pillsbury throw boy.” 😊 Heartbreaking story. Such a brilliant quarterback. His greatest accomplishment was being a great husband, and a compassionate father to his children. RIP big L. ❤️😊🙏🏻😇
He was so well liked by all us Giants fans here in NJ. Always was a fan favorite around here. May he Rest In Peace! God Bless his children and family 🙏
He may be the most unique QB ever and I loved to watch him play! I'm a East Tennessean so I'm obviously a Tennessee Vol but I loved watching him play and proud to say I'm a fan! The only thing I don't like is the tragic ending!
Glad he has a SB ring although he wasnt a fulltime starter his whole career has been legendary and glad he had the football career he has had. I will never forget him. Most Giant backup QBs are very forgettable Jared is far from that. Once a Giant Always a Giant. RIP!
Grew up a Razorbacks fan but I always pulled for the Wildcats when Jared was at the helm. Rest In Peace brotha. I pray your family finds comfort and peace during this difficult time.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know who this is. We must pray for any crisis or problem anyone has faced Or is facing. I never heard about this guy till today but I still pray for him. Every human being is precious and is our family. Rip big fella. God will always be with you
@@gullah_hawk21geechee84 i imagine that your a fat lefty black dude that dreams about playing QB cause he cant run at all. Stick with lineman and its not that big of a deal you get picked last.

Amen-Ra Rich`ard first off fuck your stupid ass name and second fuck you fuck your beliefs and may you find no peace when you pass since you don’t want it for anyone else, may God have pity on your worthless soul
I'll never forget the 7 OT game he played in for Kentucky vs Arkansas in the early 2000s. It was awesome and despite not being fan of either team, I didn't want it to end. I wanted 10 overtimes (or more). It was so fun to watch. RIP #22 No one will make fun of your weight again.
I’m just a faceless member of the internet but I’m super proud of you man. Losing 90 lbs isn’t easy and only a few have done it. Just remember, nothing tastes as good as how being healthy feels.
A good soul that was taken way too soon, thank you for the inspiration. May your family find peace knowing that you helped so many with your weight loss project. Rest now Jared
He was one of my favorites to watch play. The "HEFTY LEFTY". He was only 38. Just sad. As a Vol fan, I always enjoyed the Tennessee vs Kentucky game every year, but especially when Jared was there. From a Vol fan to you Jared. rest in piece. You will be missed.
As a lifelong Tennessee fan I know I’m not supposed to like Jared Lorenzen but watching a man that size run and throw the way he did was unbelievable. This man is a legend
I’m 30 years old and my first memory of him was the game he looks back at the cameras and says where you all going your going to miss one hell of a game and we ended up going into 4 or 5 over times , special player for sure but seem to be a genuinely good person ! I hope if there is a heaven he’s there not suffering no more .
Stationed with Jared's uncle in the USAF had to make that road trip during his senior year at Highlands HS to see this phenom; what an exciting talent and great guy, he certainly left his mark on this world...God bless him and his family.
I remember watching him for the first time in a game on ESPN. Never seen a player of his size at QB do the things he was doing. Always will have a special place in my heart. Thank you for the great memories. RIP Jared.
Life long cowboy fan here and I’m also 38. If you watched him in preseason he was awesome and earned his chance in the nfl. RIP Big guy. Definitely a inspiration to all of us big guys.
Rip big man. Love from tx. Just got home after going to six flags. Was embarrassed i did not fit on the rides anymore. Wanna go back next year with my son again and i know its going to be even more fun.
Played against him in high school, followed his career as a fan from his Kentucky days forward. Had the pleasure of meeting him several times and he was a down to Earth real dude. Tears in my eyes watching this video.... R.I.P. big man. 😢
@@joeydiaz3009 Not true my wife passed away 2011. I said one of the few times in my life means. I have been through something. But yes as a baby. I was spoon-fed applesauce and oatmeal LoL. Enjoy every second of life have a amazing life!
Damn im a vol fan and i really loved watching this dude play a rooted for him i hated to hear he passed u will be missed and prayers to your kids and family
During his Kentucky career, watching him was like seeing a glitch or special feature in a video game; he literally looked unreal. His Kentucky teams had some woeful, shake-my-head defensive units but Jared ALWAYS came to play.
Loved watching him play. It was a sight to see a 300lb qb. So unique. May he rest in paradise. And may his family find peace. Thank you for the memories.
If I could have liked more than once, I would have. For such a big guy, this man had a gift. It’s disappointing no one selected him. Who knows where he would have been if he got drafted. RIP Jared. His story will not be forgotten. :(
I've had to bury a lot of family members and friends which means I've carried a lot of caskets to their final resting places and something that always helped me get through the pain was thinking about the bigger guys looking down from heaven and laughing hysterically at us trying to carry their oversized caskets. Hope the Hefty Lefty is throwing em deep in heaven. RIP
As someone that has also struggled with my weight I know the disappointment he may have seen in the mirror. I’m feel so horrible and wish all the best for his kids and family.
I remember loving to see Hefty jog out to the huddle. A hero and Idol to boys and girls who think you have to have a perfect superman physique to accomplish your athletic goals. Thank you Hefty. I'll tell my kids about you. RIP
Importing him into Madden from the NCAA game was so much fun, because he was bigger than most linemen, but as nimble as a cat. He was one of my all time favorite players to watch. My friends dad used to call me “Lorenzo”, because I was a husky gentleman like Jared. He’s an inspiration to all of us Heavyweights. It’s a sad loss.
In 2011, I watched him with the River Monsters beat the Eastern Kentucky Drillers in Kentucky. He was the MVP of the UIFL that year and they also named him commissioner of the league after the season.
I'll never forget watching LSU VS Kentucky in 2002... When Kentucky took the field and I first saw Jared I thought "Damn he's huge" Biggest D1 QB I've ever seen!! But Homie could play!! He moved gracefully, he had a cannon left arm. He wasn't ordinary, and that's what stood out. When he got to the GIANTS I always rooted for him (When he wasn't playing the Cowboys) lol I saw his story last year on 3:60, and watched it several times. I was extremely proud of him for trying to get his weight and health back on track. He was definitely unique, and different... But he was good that's why he stood out. We'll probably never see another Jared, he was a once in a lifetime talent. I was truly saddened to hear of his passing, but rest assured he will NEVER be forgotten. Rest easy Jared, you're at peace BIG Fella... Plenty of people loved you Always and Forever, The Heft LEFTY 😭
When he was at his best in his college days he was really fun to watch. Rest easy big man-
Tim Couch and Andre Woodson were better Kentucky QBs.
Speaking of tim couch I went to a football camp in Kentucky by tim couch and Chris Redman
Didn't giants sign him? How'd he die?
@@iamphil84
Did you watch the video??? Obesity.
Patrick nah I didn't thanks.
This one hurts. A kind, humble, all around fantastic person. A father, a friend, a man who will be missed.

Once a Giant always a Giant..... RIP 😢
The hefty lefty, what a beast. So sad to lose him this early. He's throwing touchdowns in heaven now. RIP

He didn't do much in the NFL. Also a Jets fan
What memories? Pretty sure this guy was a a 3rd stringer his entire career.
