The Most STACKED Class Ever... The Top 10 Recruits From 2014

2014. The year I graduated. I played football, but nowhere near the 10 guys in featured in this video. So... did they live up to the hype?

You may notice a weird cut during Leonard Fournette section. I had to remove some content due to copyright. To get the jist of what I was saying, Fournette was completely dominant throughout his 3 seasons at LSU (he was a bit banged up his final year). Freshman year - 187 attempts 1034 rush yards 10 TDs Sophomore year - 300 attempts 1953 rush yards 22 TDs Junior Year - 129 attempts 843 rush yards 8 TDs 2015 consensus all-american

Myles Garrett played at my HS and was a beast. He’s the reason my high school was rly put on the map for recruits and others. He didn’t come from one of those stacked high schools, he was the team.

[@coasterexpert7501]

No wonder he succeeded in Cleveland.

[@user-ez8jd5et9v]

If he's so good how come he didn't get a single sack on me?

[@Luigiman_95]

The only negative about Myles Garrett is that he couldn't get over the hump of carrying his team vs a DFW giant (DeSoto) Only JSN singlehandedly carried Rockwall Heath to beat #1 Allen in the playoffs.

[@paulbird1342]

Miles Garrett is a HOF beast. Ravens are building an offense to avoid that guy.

[@Gungho73]

Garretts one of those guys you don't build to beat. You build to limit his impact. He's a fantastic player. He absolutely has lived up to the hype. Not gonna lie I think he would've fit well in the black and blue era of the AFC North.

[@tylerbridges1330]

Being from Louisiana I remember all the noise Leonard was making, it was crazy, they really thought he was the next great running back and in all fairness in highschool he absolutely was.

"After committing to Texas A&M, there was a good shot that Kyle Allen was going to be the heir to Johnny Manziel, which was a tall order to live up to." Undrafted, but 7-12 in his starts to Mr. Football's 2-6. Love that for him.

[@ShortNinjaa]

I remember watching that Leonard Fournette play against Auburn at the end of the video. That’s what officially put him on my map, I had recently become a fan of football at that point. I called him the Flyswatter from that point forward. Looking back on it the Auburn db kinda just slid off him and he maintained his balance, but in my minds eye he threw that guy straight off of him. Good memories

[@jcchambers7896]

Also that dB took a terrible angle too Idk why the hell he thought that was gone work😂😂😂

[@martianxmartin9959]

I remember being happy to finally play a game in high school as a receiver. Then after leaving the huddle to get in position to run a jet sweep, I saw that my route will lead to this behemoth of a man (myles garrett). I felt genuine fear praying that i wont get hit by him lmao. He is a lot bigger in person💀

[@dirtybird311]

Good stuff as always KTO. My Alma Mater played LSU Fournette his last year. My son and I drove from Central Alabama to Baton Rouge to pull for Jacksonville State, and to see Fournette…and they rested him. He was dressed, and he looked bigger than ever one else on the field.

[@DogWarrior1010]

KTO playing Football & drafted? Who would have thought? Lol can't wait to watch this Video! Your videos are Awesome

[@nlyoswag7151]

I think he stopped focusing on football in college to focus on track

[@markanthony1004]

I feel like Taper could've played WR in the slot with hands like that and his skills. Dude basically ran routes but I remember that combine and it was wild how slow his speed was there. It was basically my time in 9th grade only slightly faster like damn it sucked he didn't become huge in the NFL.

[@headhunternick]

damn a 10.6?? u were fast asf 😂

[@kennycai8695]

Wow ... I did not realize the 2014 recruiting class had this much talent, and I am definitely grateful my Ravens took Marlon Humphrey, who was part of that top 10. If you have to ask me who is the most impactful, I'd pick Myles Garrett. Sure, Fournette may have won the Super Bowl, but Garrett is the clear face of the Browns franchise since he got drafted. Garrett is the anchor of a potent front 7, in a division that plays against Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. Plus, it's no coincidence that the Browns have gotten better since he arrived, albeit in spite of the Browns front office shooting themselves in the foot over and over again. Garrett is the definition of a game changer, and the Browns are fortunate to have him.

[@thenumberquelve158]

I agree with Bob Quinn's ideology; the easiest way to miss out on a game-changing player is to overvalue their combine performance. Shame Tabor didn't work out very well but hopefully has a good time in the UFL. I'm noticing a pattern with these recruit videos too: the top QB prospect rarely pans out. Just shows how much development is needed for the most important position. It's not how you start, it's how you learn.

Mixon also made the nastiest block I’ve ever seen during a Monday night game against the Steelers.

@@handeggchan1057 There's 5 star players who get utterly humbled once you exit the pond that is high school. Don't feel bad when you got to at least go for your dream in college and lived to talk about it. Besides, people don't realize how cutthroat the NFL can be. My cousin went as a punter to Buffalo made it to the 3rd game and lost on one slightly off kick to the veteran at the time and hasn't made it back since.

@@Gungho73 appreciate it! And I still have good memories, and the big plus is I have no student debt because the NCAA still honors scholarships even if you retire (as long as it is for medical reasons).

I went to SJR so i actually got to see Jabrill Peppers play in person once.

Funny thing is I actually don’t remember who won but it was a close game. I also got to see Tommy DeVito play a couple times he even beat us in the championship game at MetLife he was good but he was not even close to Jabrill
