BRITISH GUY REACTS TO HARDEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL HITS!

[@Cubs-Fan.10]

Every football player in the history of footbal has been hurt. As all my coaches used to ask, "Are you hurt, or are you injured?". That would determine the mentality of your commitment to rhe team and the game. Im 40 now, and I'm paying for all the lies i told my coaches that i was only hurt lol.

I played football starting at 6 years old all the way through college (22 years old). As far as pain goes, adrenaline gets you through the game without really feeling your bumps and bruises. The next morning is another story. It feels like you survived a huge car wreck. You play once a week. Game Saturday... sore till Tuesday then start to feel a little better. By the time the next game, you feel pretty good. This is an example if you did not sustain a substantial injury. Pretty much you have to deal with a series of nagging injuries all season. Twisted ankles, sore shoulders, bruises, etc. But so much fun!

My son was a defensive lineman in college. He played in Division III, Ithaca. Div III players hardly ever go on to the pros. But trust me, even though he was the one doing the tackling, they are very sore the next day. But they workout hard and have protective gear. He broke his finger, dislocated his shoulder, and suffered a lot of injuries over the years…but they hate being sidelined…even injured, they want to play

[@garygemmell3488]

Every NFL draft has at least 224. Sometimes teams can be awarded extra picks when certain criteria are met. The 2024 NFL draft had 257 picks. Those 257 picks were chosen from 81,000 players who played college football in 2023.

[@brennanchapman3135]

Played 4 Years of Division 2 college football here! Best way to describe the feeling is the adrenaline keeps you going during the game, the next 2 days are a different story! You’re sore, hurting, can barely walk… then you start feeling better about 3 days after the game but what sucks is you start practicing again just when you start to feel better! Then it’s rinse and repeat for 11-16 weeks in the season depending on how far you go!

THIS. That one is just “The Hit” because it’s still the most insane thing I’d ever seen.

[@nettiemac]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHu8qWCVmr2El5Ysi=yq4ae3kCmmSQMAsr

[@chrisgilbert9076]

For reference, Clowney was a defensive player notorious in his career for shedding blocks and wrecking havoc on his opponents plays. On this play he burst through the Offensive line in a blink and met the ball carrier (Michigan?) so far behind the line it was insane. I swear you can see the dude’s soul leave his body when Clowney lays him out at full speed.

[@HipHoppAnon]

Michigan fan here, first down call was bs. Clowney made it right. I can only imagine what that guys career would have been like if he played every down with that much enthusiasm. That being said, Vincent Smith stood right up after that hit and walked off fine. The biggest hit was during a 1998 game with Penn State and U of M. Ended both player careers. Daydrion Taylor's hit against Bob Stephenson. Insane.

[@_ducjk]

1:26 in the nfl, players are required to cover their legs, but in any other level of football there’s really no restrictions like that so players will tend to go bare legged

[@JKM395]

Getting full body tackled when you're running at top speed by another man who is also running at full speed feels sort of like running into a brick wall. You can get up because of the adrenaline. Once that wears off, however, is when you really start to feel it. It doesn't tickle. Also, a pass that leads to you getting drilled is known as a hospital pass, for obvious reason. Sometimes it's the best play, but you're certain to get some looks from your receivers if you keep doing it.

[@ka1eskards679]

My favorite thing is that you’ve been watching enough of this that in the 3rd clip you could see it coming once the the corner read the play and took off lol

[@ericjorgensen3911]

Just LISTEN to those pads pop, then the CROWD ... ohhhhhhh love it!

[@goblue5176]

There’s a variety of pain tbh. There’s pain where it’s like yeah I gotta sit out a couple plays and get checked up on. And theres pain that just comes with the game. I Badly tore and fractured my whole ankle/foot but it was the last game of the season big rivalry game for the district and with a win we could get picked to go on to CIF which is state playoffs. I literally couldn’t take a full step on my right foot without experiencing the worse pain that I had ever felt. But with my coach screaming at me that “it’s the last game this is for everything” “you gotta fight through the pain” I went back on after only 2-3 plays out and finished out the last quarter pretty much just throwing my body in front of defenders trying my hardest to keep going. So now like 3 years later I still get pain in the ankle especially when im squatting which is led to me wearing a ankle brace anytime I workout and I regularly get hamstring pain after running from a torn hammy that I didn’t let heal long enough and instead wrapped up tight whenever I was playing.

Hey Adam. Enjoy your video. Watching these football hit videos is a mixed bag. I played football for 6 years as lineman so it was my job to block and when you see someone get blown up it’s usually a blocking or team failure. Not to mention the poor guy we have to peel off of the field.

[@mycroft16]

It's great on a solid sound system TV as they have directional parabolic mics on field so you can hear the players calling plays and such. If it happens to be pointed at a good hit you get to experience the sound of padding and plastic crashing into each other as 2 280 lb men sprint straight at each other. A lot of energy transfer happens. A lot and you hear it all crunch and impact. It's great.

[@endoraismygma]

I wish I could sit down with you and explain how it works! I'm American, grew up with my dad watching but didn't really fully learn until someone explained things as they happened during a few games.

3:17 Jacobee Bryant. He likes to be called "Cobee Bryant" like late great Kobe Bryant. He is one of the best corner backs in college football and is coming back to play in college this coming season. He very well could be playing in the NFL after next season. The player he hit did get up and walk off the field under his own power but I'm pretty sure that he wasn't allowed to come back in because he was knocked a little loopy. Even though it was a completely clean hit as their shoulders only made contact.

[@trailryder5813]

First view first to comment LOL! Every year 224 players enter the NFL this is done through the NFL draft with each one of the NFL teams getting one pick per round. According to a quick search each year there are around 16,000 college players eligible for the NFL draft. The highest ranked players coming out of college will be picked in the first round though sometimes this may be slightly altered due to individual NFL team needs. For example say KC Chiefs needed a offensive lineman really bad but the best player at the time of their pick was a QB. They might skip the QB as they already have a franchise QB and take the offensive lineman or they might draft the QB and trade with another team for a veteran offensive lineman. They might trade away that pick to a team that wants a QB for several extra picks in that draft or in a later draft say the next year. Lots of various back room deals being worked between picks by NFL teams. The picking order is decided by how they finished. If you finish dead last in the NFL last season you get the first pick while the team that finishes first gets the last pick of the round. You might check out the movie Draft Day starring Kevin Costner. Hope I just didn't confuse you and that all made sense.

And out of those guys, only a few dozen will be good enough to start in year 1.

I played 7 more years after that break and never had surgery. I’ve also smacked the shit outta some people in my day as well. Targeting wasn’t a penalty til the last year I played. Targeting is when a defender lowers the crown of his helmet and missiles themselves into the offensive players helmet. Or just a hit to the offensive players head in general.

You open your eyes and start taking inventory to see if anything is broken , snot is smeared all over your face , and everything looks strange until you realize that you are looking out of the ear hole in your helmet. The sound when you get hit in the helmet is like a firecracker going off in your ear .

[@Kim-427]

I think that even though they don’t all go to the NFL many did major in something in college. They end up gainfully employed and many end up doing something involving sports such as coaching,training athletes,sports medicine so they do ok even if they don’t go on to play football in the NFL.

[@jasonlamendola9744]

I played from fifth grade all through high school. All the soreness and cramps usually were taken care of during training camp. That way come game day you and your body is used to the contact. Also the times have changed so much since I played that these "big Hits" were mostly just good strong hard tackles when I played. Or big Hits would be ejections today. I only got hurt/injured one time. I was in seventh grade and had a running back step on my finger. Broke my finger and lost my nail.

There are only about 1800 active NFL players at any one time. About 16,400 college players were eligible for the NFL draft in 2023 and Only 1.6% of college football players make it to the NFL in general. Making it to the NFL is an extraordinary feat of strength, speed, and agility. These athletes are incredibly gifted with raw power and speed. With modern nutrition and training programs, the players are hit harder than at any other time in history, and why the injuries are so destructive. The equipment is better and rule changes have softened the game to try and protect the players but the average NFL career is only 3 years. There used to be a physics example that goes like this: if a 240lb Linebacker that runs the hundred in 11 sec hits a 200lb running back who runs the hundred in 10 secs the impact creates enough force to move a 30 ton object 1 inch. The other analogy is everytime a running back gets hit head on it is the equivalent of a 35 MPH car crash.
