Love how Ek recognizes his fantasy owners lol. Amazing!

I dont think hes really underrated pretty much any football fan knows hes a top 10 back. Maybe by the chargers but they are a mess so

[@MerrittCW]

@@jd229 no one ever talks about him as being a top player in the league. So to me, he’s pretty underrated

@@MerrittCW well no one cares about RBs in general so I guess I agree with you somewhat. But like everyone knows hes a TD machine and a top RB idk if I would say top player tho. I get where ur coming from.

As a chargers fan I’m very Grateful for Austin and he is super fun to watch. I’m ashamed of the organization I root for. He’s led the league in TDs for 2 years and we won’t give him the paycheck he deserves. I’ll always root for Eckler even if next year he’s scoring the most TDs on another team.

Ekeler, I hope the Chargers wake up and pay you. I can't believe they won't even talk... very disappointed in my team. Never cared for Telesco and I absolutely do not care for ownership.

[@jagutichsachma]

Why is his name not in the title? You can still use some of the headlines that game the system like "how austin ekeler blabla".

[@roosterchains]

In regards to rb and qb salary gap. Supply and demand. A lot of good rbs in the league and in every draft, and the margin of good to great is not the same as the margin of a good to great QB. As well as so many less good Qbs in the nfl and draft. Very few great QBs at a time in the league at a time.

[@froy_boyproductions8488]

59:44 regarding the game jersey it should be a bidding for it. Maximize your money bro.

Lmao I was legit bouta comment the same thing I grabbed him and he was great in fantasy lmao

[@Elguapodelfuego]

I dont think its understood how crazy it is he made it to be a star. Just making the team for him, he was undrafted, barely got reps in training camp and preseason. Every single time he touched the ball, a big play happened. phillip rivers said he didnt know his name but just kept asking who that dude was. The chargers traded up in the draft to get melvin gordon, he was just starting to become a star, Austin was always better. Gordon held out and thats why ekeler was given a real chance, the man is dominant.
