FlemLo Raps hey, All you gotta do is go on manual focus, zoom all the way in, fix the focus, then zoom all the way out, then the whole shot would say in focus all the time. Just a little camera tip.... 😉 I love the videos Flemlo!

Flem has a bright future in media ahead of him.

[@rezzbuilds8343]

Nah I would like to see him do a podcast with his own affiliate marketing or stay where he's at. The style he has right now is perfect and producers are going to say it's not a fit for TV which is right

[@89thunderfoot]

Sometimes unlike the NFL he doesn't just jump on every single story. He takes his time, is passive and won't pass judgment.

[@JamesRaider82]

And now he's a Houston Texan he struggled to earn everything he gots that's true dedication.

Some of your best work are when you involve the players for their insight and their side of the story. Good stuff mang.

Ima be honest I would’ve quit and worked at Walmart or trucker or would’ve did two jobs but congrats to him

I'm sayin just goes to show you some guys really just want it more than others

[@drmarshmallo4646]

Drank in my cup neither are you

[@walterm5298]

It's not quitting, it's realizing it just wasn't meant to be. Still would've been worth a try.

[@QTheSage]

Drank in my cup I’m good to me bro and ik he won, I’m saying when do you stop trying ?

[@joshuatraffanstedt2695]

I love that we live in a time when we can hear stories like these. A lot of these go under the radar unless they make it to the nfl. But playing profession ball isnt the milestone of success. People that have regular jobs are successes. "The measure of success isnt about what you accomplish in life, but what you overcome along the way."

[@paytonmagill453]

As an Ole Miss fan, I'm glad you're putting his story out there. Not enough people know what he went through. He meant so much to that team. By far one of my favorite guys from the team last season.

[@gopnikthesnoop6171]

Great stories as always, you go behind the blinds and share with us alot of untold or inspiring stories, keep it up.

[@joelee1750]

Shout out to his Mom... Making her baby's dream possible with the knee brace... My son had back surgery before his senior year... We didn't know if he would be cleared to play before the season started... He just received his first offer to play at the next level with Avilla University... Dreams come true...

You know it's a good day when KTO and Flemlo Raps post on the same day

[@tprom6284]

Bruh you're sitting on a gold mine here. These in-depth player profile stories are exactly what is needed when we see so many think these athletes have it easy because they make bank playing a "kids game"...easily the best channel I've subscribed to on KZbin

[@HideTheHobo]

I was part of the Cali juco struggle. In January I mid-year transferred to a school in North Dakota on football scholarship. 1.5 years at juco, and now it’s all paying off.

[@vedantsingh8503]

After two years of setbacks at the high school level, this dude makes me wanna get back on the field for my junior season, grind it out there, and see what happens.

[@Messup7654]

Did you grind it out?

[@ltravail]

FlemLo does so much to give these young athletes and dreamers a deep human dimension that is overlooked when we think about athletes today. The character and sheer will power of some of these kids makes them worthy of the accolades and adoration that fans usually reserve only for the most accomplished and most highly compensated athletes in sports. A young man like Floyd Allen is not only the kind of kid you'd be proud to have on your team, but also to have in your work place, as your neighbor, or as role model for your own children. Much respect for FlemLo!

[@alexbucur1552]

bro, I can say I've never been more proud of being an Ole Miss fan srsly, I hope Floyd impresses his coaches enough so he gets some shots in preseason, would love to see him on a NFL highlight reel, maybe he even makes the practice squad his first year, that would be huge

[@nikes4444]

What happened to Albert Hansworth What happened to Jerome Simpson (former bengals wide receiver that did a front flip over a player into the end zone)

Love stories like this man please do more , kinda in a similar situation played all of Hs and got injured every year . So now w no offers I’m going into juco in Cali and helpin my mom financially with running my own detailing business . I know the grind man. .

[@D0ugh.B0y]

I love how the coach grabbed him by the helmet, looked him dead in his eye, and said “hey, I love you” that you can hear came from coach’s heart. That’s great! Love when teams become family like that.

[@Mikewillllll]

Alondra park is right next to my house. Crazy to think this dude slept there

[@thouxanbancolin1]

Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard🙌

[@tonyibraham5931]

I was training for football after being misdiagnosed for 19 years and unable to be able to play in school. I was offered a chance at a Cali Juco after training and putting some tape together in drills. I turned it down after a lot of prayer and thought and recognition that I would have to live in a 2 bed apartment with 10 people and paying $600/month. I was about to turn 25 and my career path of nursing wasn't available there. I could have chose other Jucos that offered, like one in Arkansas and one in Alabama, but I ultimately decided to stop chasing. These guys are amazing and at almost 32, while I wonder if i could have made it as a LT, I am just happy guys like Floyd kept going. God bless that man and all the others like him.

[@rexhargrove5172]

Man Flem you did it again and I thank you for it. Always uplifting, always entertaining.

[@Jayboat-252]

This story means so much to me. There was once a long time ago that i was a promising wrestler out of eastern North Carolina. I was good enough to compete for several national championships tournaments. However fate had it be that i would never place first place in those tournaments. After tearing my acl during my senior year in high school. I decided to try my luck at JCSU playing football one of few schools that had askes me to consider walking on. After trying to rush back from an acl that wasn't completely healed i failed at that attempt as well. To make a long story short life isn't about how many times you fail. It is about how many times you get up and keep fighting. Now a parent of a beautiful baby girl i get the opportunity to instill that in her as well. Keep making the vids i really love the content. Much love and respect GRIOT

[@AJackobs]

This man is the 1%. The California JUCO struggle is basically made to break you. I went through it and it was the toughest experience of my life. What this guy did is very common for JUCO athletes in California, but his success is uncommon. Like you said, many guys will just pack up and head home but Allen’s resiliency is absolutely inspiring. Thank you for not just sharing his story, but the whole struggle of playing JUCO ball in California

[@mattharriss3835]

I'll tell ya this... you absolutely kill these things. It's like going to school every day. My Son and I love watching this. He's a huge sports maniac and will be one of the best the world has seen. Nonetheless... thanks for all your work.

This was an awesome story! This reminds me of how I got my NFL workouts. Military service, college football ACL injury, school screwed me over, the homelessness and meager living conditions, my car was stolen but I still moved forward. I ended up getting a futures contract with the Dolphins but was let go Dutch to my age at the time of 31. But through it all I don't regret it. Congratulations to this young man and I hope he does great things.

Amazing video man. That’s a story that I think we all needed to hear about perseverance. So glad this dude is getting his chance at the NFL, he really deserves it. He just earned himself a new fan, even though I’m a Colts fan and he went to a division rival but we’re just gonna ignore that.

[@mjc_fishing9916]

Truly inspirational story bro. If this doesn’t make you realize the value of not feeling sorry for yourself and persevering, nothing will. Also your content/editing and storytelling ability is second to none when it comes to this sort of content. Keep striving, my friend, I sense big things in your future.
