Thank yall for watching! Stick around til the end for a "sneak peak" of part 2
Aye FlemLo if You Tube had a content rating for your prospective genre you a 99 ovr..
Im a Longtime subscribers
Lo..!!!!! You know you killing me rite..?? I have to wait for part 2..?? I’m trying to remember dude but, that’s don’t…
Looking forward to Part 2! :)
Same high school as Peter Warrick also college also played QB just like Peter Warrick did in high school.
Yo FlemLo you should do a Marcus Dupree story he was a running back
Man I remember when Flemlo didn’t even have that many subs. Now I look up and he is almost at a Million!!!! Nothin but great content, my favorite youtuber.
You remember when he didn't even cue the Wayne?! dang man's has come so far
Still too little man need his respect
for real!! i remember those TD days, happy to see flemlo winning
Ikr?! I love seeing him get more notoriety. He has the best football content I’ve seen plus he is a Bengals fan , just like me.
You every where 😂😂
There’s no way flemlo don’t got a million yet and he putting out content like this 🤦🏾♂️🐐
He almost there. Might hit that shit by the end of the year.
He's a positive influence, that doesn't get clicks as fast as a channel that focuses on trash. But he will build a following of people with Character similar to his.
Why don't you just ask him if you can blow em already?
Still hasn't made it truly a travesty
I remember as a kid always picking him up in ps2 created team franchises in Madden cause at QB he had 90+ speed and 90+ throw power. What an intriguing real life story though. Another great vid
lol I used to do the same thing
Damn me too 👍
🤣 thought I was the only one
Same here
I would put him at receiver sometimes. Just because then switch him back and break every record. Obviously on pro and not all madden lol
I'd love to see a Willie Jefferson video. Dude who was with Josh Gordon and got thrown out of Baylor, then got drafted to the league but got released for an "unspecified violation" before the season even started. Now he's absolutely tearing it up in Canada.
That’s be super live! Willie is from my hometown Beaumont, Texas! Homie was a beast and still is ! Great recommendation 💯
Played at the same HS as him. He was a beast receiver and was an even bigger beast when he switched to d-end
@@graythaprince I already know he was 🔥. His twin Brother hooped at Central Hs where I went. They was seniors when I was a freshman. Willie still the truth.
And him at d End was deadly boy was big, fast, and was gettin off that edge like crazy !
I remember he was beast in high school, down here in Florida. That’s saying a lot considering all the talent that comes out of Florida.
Texas you mean
@@armandovallejr1576 pa... U mean
@@derricktalbert6554 Florida you mean
It aint saying much in basketball, yall dont hoop like that
I love how you keep it classy ,bro. If any athlete catches their video , they see their life. The bad, ''Yeah, I did that'' and the good. You keep everything respectful . Gives us a little insight to the dude you are.
Even though I could egg your house on Halloween for this part 2 biz lol. Playing man, I get it... can't wait!
That’s one thing I like about him. No matter the story he’s covering, when it involves personal matters, he doesn’t cast judgment on whoever is involved. Keeps it professional
Yooo, love that you're doing this video on Adrian! I went FSU at the time this all happened. I worked at the grocery store Publix that was closest to campus. All the players used to come in the store, and you had your varying degrees of swag from each player, but in those 3 weeks when he was riding high as a starter, he was more cocky, brash, and pouring with more narcissism than any player I had ever seen. If I remember correctly he had a white suburban with insane rims and he just thought he was the shit. You have to also understand that Florida State, had just ended a run of 14 years of top 4 finishes in a row after starting Chris Rix, a Freshman for the first time ever. We could all tell he wasn't the guy, so when Adrian came in and all of the sudden FSU looked like FSU AGAIN, he was basically a savior to "bring us back"... imagine what that did to him and his psyche. Now I for one, don't think he threw the NC State game. I honestly think the gambling debts were affecting him so much (I imagine he was getting threats) and it just got to him. Even as good as he is, if you have grown man pressure on you like that, this is still division 1 football and Adrian was immature to boot. So I think that led to the performance. Anyways, just wanted to add some context. I love how his story turns out and it really tells you, it's a real blessing for these players who do make it. There are soo many things that can go wrong on a path to a NFL career, but life is bigger than that and I think that's what his story tells. Thanks for doing this one and I like how you're breaking up the videos instead of doing a super long one. 🙏
Boy ppl will say anything lol and make ANYTHING up
@@kartersmysteryreveal2408 what???
Did anyone get crab legs?? 😂😂😂
@@williamwatsoniii3895 naw 😂...he was just trying to get money lol, but it was the same Publix Jameis got caught with the crab legs 🥴. I was long done working there by Jameis time tho
One of my favorite youtubers been watching for years now and you always show up with your intelligence and research!
I'm from the Sarasota Bradenton area where he went to school at South East High. He was the biggest thing coming out of here since Peter Warrick. Damn shame he never amounted to his potential.
My husband’s love for football brought me here…. The quality of this channel and the wealth of knowledge and respectability you put in every video has kept me here. You’re breaking 1,000,000 before the year is up for sure
FlemLo Raps is in my top 20 TH-camrs of ALL TIME! Keep doing your thang bro!
Damn I love this channel ! When I was a kid we had Steve Sabol . As a old man I have FlemLo. I remember this player and ready for part 2.
Of all that is said about how great and wonderful your content is, my respect goes to your consideration, compassion, and grace for people as humans and the mistakes they make. I've shit the bed a few times, and would have appreciated the understanding, you have in heart, from those that judged me years later. You're a good man, and your people should be grateful to have you in their lives.
The Indiana Firebirds' coach at the time was Steve DeBerg. Dude stuck around in the league for a long time, usually getting replaced as the starter by HOF quarterbacks like Montana and Elway. Only stuck for five games (all losses) as the Firebirds' coach, though. Great video. Looking forward to part 2.
Steve DeBerg, was the oldest starting QB, at one time...
Addiction is easily one of the scariest things you can go through as an individual and as a family even if you're not the one with the disease. Come this May, I'll be celebrating 7 yrs clean after being addicted to painkillers for almost 15 years starting at the age of just 15. Gambling addiction is just as bad. You're still chasing that high. I'm not familiar with McPherson's story, but I find myself at the edge of my seat hoping that he'll pull through and find success and happiness. Can't wait for part 2!!!
That new intro is CLEANNNN, still same high quality vids. Keep it up, Flem
K. .pn
Man I met this guy when he transfered to Tennessee State University after being cut from Florida State. Man dude had an arm...I didn't know he received Mr football and basketball man FlemLo always come with some strong content!
I remember this guy. Was expecting huge things out of him. Just sad he literally threw it all away
The irony of him throwing it away and he's a quarterback.
I went to college in Tallahassee in 99. The hype was real about this dude. Never heard about him until I went to college
Shit I was in high school around the same time he had buzz all over even here in Ohio all they talked about was Ben Mauk and him being pros
@@liljimlambert7 I also from Ohio and remembered saying he would be the next great one. His brother was pretty good too.
He's definitely that dude. Unfortunate what happened at FSU but bro has undeniable talent on the gridiron and basketball court
I got to FAMU in 99 also. His buzz was crazy back then..
@@taylorreed8791 Gibbs Hall 1st floor resident b4 they went CO ED lol
I'm from Ap's hometown I remember watching him play in high school. Dude really was that good legit
It’s bliss to see how your presentation has evolved. You always been a great story teller, flem. Now, you have that next level ability bro. Keep grinding.
He's doing great things in the Sarasota and Manatee area with his 7 on 7 team.
Yes he is. I'm so proud of him
You know how to get in contact with him? Would love for my son to play for him or train him over the summer
Ri5e
Flem lo I can see the growth. Thank you for the content. Can you do Clinton Portia from high school til now. He's a good friend of mine
That would be a good one
Flem, this is one of the BEST WATN stories I've heard in forever!! Very, very powerful, and inspriational!!!! Keep up the good work, I am STOKED for part 2
Flemlo! I talk about your channel like we friends lol.. My husband was like who is this guy? Now he's a sub and addicted like me... I need a great story today.... (hits play)
Man Flemlo is on a whole different level. His vids are better than 30 for 30 real talk! Excellent journalism! Besides Albert Haynesworth, I wonder if Flem ever gets feedback from the players.
Should have won the Heisman trophy, this guy was special, I was devastated when he was kicked off the team
All of those “mainstream” programs on cable need to watch how Flemlo does it. Your the best docu/sports content creator out there. Your detail oriented research and delivery are always on point!!! I’ve followed you for yrs and I’m happy to see you grow from a couple k to over 800. Keep up the great work, Flemlo.👍🏽💯👍🏽🤮
I love all your videos, You should do one on former Florida state star Peter Warwick
Bro keep grinding and working hard because your content is just god tier. Thank you for all the years of entertainment, can't wait for part 2!
I like how flemolo has a good balance of stories that show someone overcoming adversity and also stories of people falling off the wagon. It gives a feeling of it being real and not just made for feel good moments
Same. Flemolo know what he be doing
still a legend in Bradenton
For sure. Really humble guy too
My hometown so true
Bradenton is my home. He will always be a legend there. Grew up on the Westside.
I remember watching him play for southeast high. You knew he was a legend in the making
FlemLo seems like he'd be a great educator, motivational speaker or something.... bless up my dude... hope you continue to grow champ
Your videos are put together so perfectly. That is the best background music for story telling
Great Video Flemo! It’s crazy I remember being at the Saints preseason game in 05’. The crowd was rocking with him and wished he could’ve made it with the Saints
Feels like I’m watching a Netflix series. The quality of your videos is amazing.
Crazy thing is him committing to FSU allowed me to commit to UNC as a Quarterback and the rest was history. Great story flemo!!! I remember when he was being recruited.
Bro I work overnight stock at Walmart so I just put my headphones in and cut on Flemlo videos and it gets me through the whole night. Thank you bro keep working. I have a plan to start a page similar to this I look up to you man. Thank you
I was working at a supplements store in Montreal downtown at the time he was with the Alouettes. Great guy, super friendly and he always take time to speak with us. Much respect! And by the way the dude was big, almost bigger than some linebacker!!
Good shot ad McPherson will always be a legend from my hood I watch him grow up playing with my Lil brother good man good family every one knew he would be a star when he wasn't like ten rip Melvin capers aka smurf
Watch every video you drop bro. Really appreciate the effort and crispness of your work fam. Every joint be 🔥🔥🔥
FlemLo- thank you for doing this video. I went to HighSchool with Adrian at Southeast High School. My best friend was the starting tight end for the Seminoles - my girlfriend was the varsity Captain cheerleader. Adrian actually dated my ex-girlfriend at one point LOL. But that sophomore year - our sophomore year was a magical season for the southeast Seminoles. Such an incredible Talent who fought his way back so many times. But in the end , at least he still was able to keep doing what he loved and at least got some Redemption.
As a life time FSU fan him and Randy Moss are our University’s biggest “what if’s”.
💯💯💯
Moss and Warrick together with an already loaded wr group would've been unstoppable they would've averaged 60 points a game easily and got at least 3 titles
@@kennethevans4056 yes, and they had Lavernious Coles. If Miss and McPherson never get in trouble the FSU dynasty would be on par with what Alabama is doing now.
@@amateuroverlord8007 Back then it was on par with what Bama was doing. It just wasn't a playoff, so it was harder to win national titles.
Gambling addiction is real people I know cuz I’m going thru it now🙏🏾
My only complaint about the video is that I have to wait for pt.2. Great selection! Still waiting for Ryan Perilloux or Fred Rouse!
Keep up the grind! ✊🏾
Bro, you definitely deserve a million plus subscribers! You're videos are very well researched and you're great at telling the story of your subject. I haven't heard of half the people you talk about but I always click when I see your notifications. Keep up the good work!
He’ll be there soon he ain’t that far away 💯💯💯
Tampa Bay Storm(Tim Marcum is a Arena Football League coaching legend) was a good Arena Football League team in the 2000s I do remember that he played for Indiana Firebird
Never heard of this man till now which means it’s gonna be a good series
Flemlo- add a series where you interview these athletes. You’re platform is big enough to get the on.
I went to middle school with AD and lived a few doors down from him in Manatee County. I always told him he would go pro. Man was insane at basketball and football.
I remember this dude. Huge talent
i see those different camera angels, flemlo. professional production right here and GREAT story telling!
Love this video, all I remembered him for was that time he lined up behind a guard instead of under center in New Orleans
Man I been rocking with ya since the NCAA 14 dynasty days, your grind is motivating brother, real talk,
Mans needs to sign with ESPN smh he's just too talented for just a YT channel. Great vid man WHO DEY!
Hell naw ESPN won't let Flemo move freely. While he will be more popular amongst the masses he won't be able to out out this type of content.
@@Anzomax2 im talking more like the personality and informative mind he brings to the table. I'm talking like Monday Night Football hes better than half the casters out there rn. But i agree i was just complimenting him on his insane skill and talent for informing an audience
Yo Flemlo you the GOAT for dis one. i actually know his mama and brothers. his brothers was friends wit my mama boyfriend (God rest his soul), he (boyfriend) use to have his brothers come to crib all the time when we lived in Bradenton in a town called "Oneco"
I'mma die hard Florida State fan so I appreciate this video big dog 💯 always wondered wat happened to him, he was nice
Flemlo (Wayne?) Thank you. You are a Premium TH-cam Creator. Your video's have very pro production values and quality. I'm seriously impressed and I enjoy your content. I binge watch your back catalog for hours until I get a little depressed from the sad stories of these men. One suggestion - Could you include some more backstory to both up and coming NFL prospects and some of the successes. Maybe thos that overcame adversity but aren't superstars but are still good enough to keep playing or have careers in the NFL. Thank you (Luke)
Man I remember this guy from madden, this a throwback that hit me in the feels
I’ve never heard of this guy, but I can guarantee that this story’s going to be interesting.
Also, it would be awesome if you could make a Cade McNown video next, that guy had a story more interesting than you might expect
Dude, you are awesome. I truly enjoy the stories about the players. You are fair and you do it real, no sugarcoating or nothing.
Flemlo can take a story about I never heard of, and make the story super interesting
I loved AD-Mac on the 2013 Tampa Bay Storm
Your research is amazing, please tell us about Dwayne Thomas, number 44, Tom Landry said he would draw up play and Dwanyn would turn his chair backwards n never missed a play, n he would warm up in the end zone by himself, ' he ran like Chuck Foreman, x Viking'.
Duane Thomas wore #33 and was comparable to Jimmy Brown with his combination of size and speed. Tom Landry has an entire chapter of his AUTOBIOGRAPHY titled: Duane Thomas!!! He was a BEAST, he just wasn't with the B.S.!
Man he was a fan favourite in the CFL with the Montreal Alouettes (also won back to back championships as a backup)
I been watching this channel for a year an I love it. The what happened videos are my fav. Appreciate you Flemlo.
I don’t watch football and usually have NO IDEA who you’re talking about. But you’re such an excellent storyteller that all of the other details don’t matter. I’m drawn in and watch your videos back-to-back-to-back.
Thank you for doing what you do!
Whoa. I missed this. Dude was my favorite qb at fsu. Dude was insane
Yeoo Flem man to see you almost at a Million Subs and See you BrGridiron doing your thing, you a Real Inspiration brother. Wish nothing but the best for you and yours.
AH, gold old Bobby "Blind-Eye" Bowden. But for real, Adrian seems like a good kid who just messed up.
Huge fsu fan and a couple years ago I got to get know Adrian, glad you have added him the series flemlo
Top quality production, man. You keep on crushing it.
Femlo's videos are better than a bunch of the stuff you can catch on tv these days. Glad to see people are finding him.
Great story so far. I can’t wait until pt. 2 is out. I’d love to see a biopic Adrian’s life. I know it’ll be a good one
cant wait for you to hit a mil. best football content creator rn
Yo, i am a FSU fan and i remember Adrian, showed so much promise and then he was gone so fast...I have always wondered what happened at FSU...So after all these years thanks for this vid!!!🤙🏿💯
It's crazy to see this. I know him and seeing him play as a jit made everyone want to go to East. I was in middle school and went go to every home game because he was just that good. Oh his team was great as well but he took them to a different level. Pdub and AD made us jits want to go to Southeast and play.
As A saints fan, going through that period was crazy! We were coming off Aaron Brooks, and Huricane Katrina. Knowing how part / starts is just sad already
Congrats on your ascension. Great content.
Looking good for 33 bro
The backround music be slappin
Really enjoy and appreciate the work you put into your videos FlemLo! I'm sure you've thought about these two already but I would be interested in content about Will Smith of the Saints or Barret Robbins of the Raiders.
Jay Ajayi, Toby Gerhart, T.J. Yeldon would be solid too
Thank you very much for your films. My son, grandson, and I watch your channel every morning as we get ready work/school. Football with a life lesson. Awesome work my friend. What you do is important.
Another banger ❗️ can’t wait for part 2.
You're the goat Flemlo, been here since the start and your growth has been amazing. Keep it up bruh and respect for shouting out Spoken Reasons. Blessings to you both
Went to school with all 3. Was a great time in Bradenton for high school football. Peter warrick and his team just before McPherson's. McPherson's era had alot of nfl talent.
I went to Orlando Edgewater in ‘01 this dude had 48points on us in a summer league game. Not to mention we were ranked #2 in 6A behind Ft. Lauderdale Dillard. So we were one of the best teams in the state when he dropped those 48pts. Dude was the real deal! Adrian McPherson, Antonio Lawrence, and Amare Stoudamire are the best I’ve faced out of Sate of Florida in basketball
I never heard of Antiono Lawrence
@@kobeplayeddefensetoo1351 He was in the same class as Amare, out of Jacksonville. He went to Wolfson and Ribault …6’5 / 6’6 point guard with an NBA body. He ended up going to San Diego State. (I don’t know how he ended up out there) . He was supposed to go to Florida or he could’ve opted to go straight to the NBA out of highschool. The last I heard the streets caught up with him (I don’t know how true that is)
@@1dawg243 I remember Jacksonville was good in like 98-2000ish.. They had a center like 7 ft back then.
@@1dawg243 Wow, that's crazy so it's 2002 we in this tournament in Ocala Florida called the Kingdom of the sun. I'm guarding this nigga Antiono Lawrence which i didn't remember who he was until, I just googled this nigga; he cross me ND and 1 me in front of Billy D the gators coach at the time. I went for like 0/25 the rest of the tournament. I can't really remember but I think at the time he was committed to ND or GT I really can't remember.
@@1dawg243 I wouldn't put him in the same class with these guys though.
Flemlo sittin' there with 22 inch biceps talkin about "regular people like you and me", lol! I love the vids bro! Keep it up!
Not really a sports fan, HOWEVER, I love a great story and you are a masterful story teller...great content!!!
I'm a CFL fan and I remember him as the backup QB on the Montreal Alouettes during their dynasty years with Anthony Calvillo. Always thought he was a really likable, exciting player, even though he didnt see the field that much. Had no idea about his backstory.
Guy a grew up with was his bookie in college and was wrapped up in investigation. He was from Pittsburgh and straight sabotaged poor kid
Need that part 2 asap!!!
I remember growing up hearing about Mcpherson. He was talked about in the NFL draft being an underdog. I was happy he got a chance in New Orleans.
Remember him well. I don’t know how many players fall victim to gambling but it’s a much higher number than people can imagine I am sure. Even in Football, a sport where essentially nearly every year now you have a guy getting into the HOF who got popped for PED’s, even in that sport, gambling will still destroy careers. Sadly for this young man, he destroyed his before it ever really got started. I remember hearing about him going to FSU. The whole Mr. Football, & Basketball, that’s crazy hype! Considering I was 11 at the time, living in the Midwest, & hated FSU… this is before the big scouting sites too! This was the Parade All-American day’s. So, he was really that big. It’s a heart breaking story, but I am glad he has gained found some redemption.
I only remember him getting ran over by a golf cart and being Aaron Brooks backup.
As a FSU fan, his downfall hurts. Such a talented and budding star. One of the best what if stories in Football history.
I watched Adrian play in person many times. Went to Palmetto High in the same county of Florida. Southeast only played us once while Adrian was there and they beat us 77-7 with him basically beating us entire team by hisself. It was crazy.
He was a solid athlete. I played against him. I was a Senior at Bayshore high end he went to southeast high which is located in manatee county. We were good friends. I told him to play basketball when won Mr. Fla in football and basketball. After FSU it went downhill. We still got much love for him though.
That Ralph Lauren henley Flemlo rocking is fire!!
