[@maxmiranda6012]

Everyone has regrets. You put in the work, got that 5 star rank, played college football. So many people would be happy with your football accomplishments. Just because you didn’t get awarded the heisman, win the National Championship game and got drafted #1 doesn’t make you a bust. Awesome channel and I’m looking forward to see more great accomplishments!

Facts!

[@joshlynch5676]

For real. There's something admirable about playing with your friends and the people you'd actually want to play with rather than going to a school of 4/5 star athletes. That resonates with people who played with their buddies in any sport in public school I'm sure.

[@SuperOCHomes]

USC alum '93. I got all love for you Max. You never went off the deep end and self-sabotaged yourself, wasting your talent. There's only 32 starters in the league, it takes more than hard work and talent, there's some luck involved, ie Kurt Warner. It's easy to call someone a bust when they, themselves, never put themselves out their to try something great. They failed to chase their dreams and regret projects itself nastily. You put yourself out there and took a shot.

What Happened From A Diehard SC Fan... Max Got to play the game he loved at 2 awesome Universities , Made friendships that will last a lifetime , Graduated from USC and Got the Girl , Did football work out nope but his life sure did . Football is not the end all be all what matters is what your life means to you & those who love you and Maximus is killing it in that department !!

[@Lolander14]

I did color commentary for the Syracuse game for WPTS radio, and remember your injury. It was difficult to watch because I saw how hard you were working to build camaraderie with a new team in a foreign city. Your ability to handle adversity, turn it into a learning experience, and create a positive future for yourself is admirable. You'll always have a fan in me Max. Keep producing this great content!

[@matth7059]

I stumbled across your video and honestly man I personally feel the pain in your eyes. I played well in college, got tryouts, and blew my knee out before training camp. Everyone I knew expected me to go pro and it was all I ever wanted. Took a long time to get over the pain and find my path. I hope you find your calling. There are things in life more rewarding than football I promise you.

[@jerrystaceyii291]

I love that you are able to watch another person's video about yourself. To reflect on your own experiences within that journey. You made it a lot farther than a "WHOLE LOT" of people that have had aspirations to be a professional athlete. Including myself. I appreciate you and thank you for sharing your personal experiences with us!

[@jerrystaceyii291]

There are 4 people I know from my home town of Roswell, New Mexico that played Collegiately. Gary Jackson played basketball at New Mexico State, Chris Stokes played golf at Lubbock Christian, Dontrell Moore and Andre Cheetam played football at University of New Mexico. Dontrell and Andre both played running back. Andre broke Dontrell's rushing records and still holds them. Dontrell is the only one that got tryouts in the NFL though. He tried out with the Titans and the Jets. He was an end of preseason cut both times. Those guys are always people that are still looked up to within our community!

[@jerrystaceyii291]

Oh, I forgot about Mick Reeves. He tried out for the Cowboys as a Cornerback and made it to AAA with the Cubs. I guess that makes 5 people from my town that have come anywhere close to playing professional sports.

[@johndim11]

Damn Max, this video hit home for me. I’m a former D1 athlete, baseball, whose career fell short of expectations. I follow USC football and definitely remember you, you had serious tools man! The grace and maturity you have handled your career is an inspiration to us all. Well done sir.

[@kmin0605]

I saw Max in Taper Hall when I was a junior or senior, and he was a freshman kid straight out of highschool. I had followed him since his highschool days as a five star recruit and was excited that he would lead our football team after Barkley (there was wittek and some other guy, forgot his name). Things have turned and now i don't see Max playing football and it saddens me. anyhow, good seeing you active online Max.

[@uflstallions_dynasty]

I'm gonna be honest, you caught a super tough break with that injury vs Pittsburgh. But you telling your story is the best thing that you can do with your experiences; teaching other young kids to not be too hard on themselves, to just be patient. Some players become busts because they don't have any work ethic; I'm glad to see that you ALWAYS gave it everything you had. Good luck on your career as an analyst!

[@BeauSelisker]

Quick anecdotal story for you Max. Your senior year of high school and my last year as a Trojan, I traveled up to Seattle for the Washington/SC game at the Seahawks stadium. Me and my buddy saw you prior to the game with some of your buddies and told you SC or bust. You winked. Was so pumped when you committed to SC. I got to be honest, this was hard for me to watch but I appreciate your positive outlook of the situation. At the end of the day, I’ve been a very frustrated SC alum/fan. The revolving door of coaches and lingering question of do we have the right coach to take us back into the upper echelon has frustrated me. I can’t see how this helped you reach your potential and apologize on behalf of a poor administration. Lastly, I was at that Bama game man. Nothing you could have done...you ran into an absolute juggernaut. I was amazed at how much pressure you and Sam were under. Wish you the best!

Thanks Beau - I low key remember that tbh. First time SC fans had showed up at my game. Good stuff haha. Appreciate the message! 💪🏻

Hey Max. Interesting vid. I've always been a big college football fan but tbh I didn't know a ton about your story or your era at SC. It was cool to see this video, especially with you being so honest and genuine about the experience. You seem like the kind of guy who might fail at something only to have that experience launch you into great success somewhere else. It's funny to think because I'm sure you always imagined that football would be your best chance at great success. You loved it, were supremely talented compared to your peers and worked very hard for it. How cool is it to think that maybe this isn't a "second chance" at all. Maybe it was always supposed to go this way because you're destined to find even greater success somewhere else and a football career would've only held you back from your true destiny. I'm rooting for you man and can't wait to see you reach the top.

[@notmyrealname1730]

I'm a couple of years late commenting on this, but I wanted to throw out the name Cooper Bateman. I believe he was at the Elite 11 with you. Coop was the QB for our local high school. I've known him since he was a wee lad. He and my son were best friends all through elementary, jr high and high school. My son wasn't a big kid - he has his Mom's slight frame, but he was Coop's go-to receiver on 3rd down and the team had to get a first down. I appreciate your story, as my plans didn't work as I thought they would. Baseball was my sport and I was a catcher. I was drafted by the Reds and my ego convinced me that Cincy wanted me to replace Johnny Bench after he retired the next year. I decided not to play college ball and after 4 years in double A, I realized I wasn't as good as I thought I was, so I retired, went to school and became a Special Ed teacher. (Retired 2 years ago). Sorry for this being so long.

Modern day cfb and these recruiting websites really end up hurting a lot of guys I think. People don’t understand that it’s just not that simple. I think you kinda just had the misfortune of getting to a big time school at the top of their success bubble and you just got dealt a tough situation on the way down. A guy from the era before SC named Kyle wright had a similar situation at Miami. Sometimes it just doesn’t play out right especially in a team sport like football. Subscribed to your channel.
