Great content. Brodie Croyle (just to ad to the story), his father, John Croyle, was an all-American defensive end at the University of Alabama under the legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant. This had a major impact on Brodie's decision to attend Alabama. John Croyle (Brodie's father), is another whole story all it's own. Upon graduating the University of Alabama, instead of going to the NFL, John decided to open a Christian home for abused and neglected children in 1974, called Big Oak Boys Ranch. Brodie Croyle now serves as the associate executive director.

Brock Berlin is still the best high school QB that I've ever seen. He played at a small private school called Evangel in North Louisiana that started in class 2A his Freshman year then was winning 5A state titles in the super dome against huge schools like West Monroe by his senior year. They kept going up to the next level because there was no competition in the smaller classes. Evangel was the first school in this region to run a 4 and 5 wide shotgun formation every single play. It was amazing to watch.

[@mosesw17]

[@Britton_Thompson]

The main reason Brock Berlin's QB ranking was so inflated as a recruit was because he was at the forefront of a revolutionary new offense that went no huddle, deployed 4-5 WRs on every play, and threw the ball 40+ times a game. He played HS football in Louisiana in the late 1990s, where 95% of HS teams still ran the triple option, and passed the ball 15-20 times at most. Berlin's HS coaches attended summer football coaching seminars where college and NFL coordinators would hash out ideas with high school coaches. It was in these annual seminars where his high school coaching staff encountered groundbreaking new offensive ideas by names like Mike Leach and Urban Meyer. Consequentially, this placed Brock's HS team light years ahead of the competition for Louisiana HS football. A lot of scouts and opposing high school coaches were so overmatched at defending this new scheme that they got dazzled by the hype and numbers themselves, and proclaimed Brock Berlin the most uniquely talented QB they'd ever seen for being able to make it run. This explosive new offense was the primary reason Brock went 52-0 as a starting QB in high school. What I'm saying here is that no one ever stopped to consider the possibility that while Brock Berlin did indeed have the measurables scouts look for, they overlooked the possibility that he may also be something of a "system QB" who has inflated stats. That never really entered into anyone's mind back then. The mentality of coaches back then was that no one would attempt running such a sophisticated offense in the first place unless they had a generational blue chip QB prospect who could make it work. The offense itself was just so cutting edge that few could see past the bells and whistles to honestly evaluate Berlin. One of the few who could, though, was his first college head coach, Steve Spurrier. This is why their relationship didn't get off to a great start, and why Brock was compelled to transfer. He just thought Spurrier was being unnecessarily critical of him and was trying to tear him down in order to build him back up into the type of QB he wanted him to be instead. The reality is that Spurrier saw the shortcomings in his game, and didn't protest much when he asked to transfer. I know Florida underwent a coaching change to Ron Zook around this same time when Spurrier decided to give the NFL a try, but the damage was already done. Spurrier wasn't convinced Berlin was his next Danny Wuerffel- who won a Heisman trophy and national championship at Florida in 1996 while also coming from Louisiana. That's really the inside story on Brock Berlin. It wasn't so much that he physically peaked in high school as much as he was never honestly evaluated by talent scouts in the first place. He was running an offense so far ahead of it's time that no one knew where to look for the flaws in his game. They just saw the measurables of height and arm strength, combined with outrageous stats, and assumed that whatever few weaknesses he possessed were, his college coaches would be able to train them out of him to make him better since they'd offer the best coaching he would ever receive. They didn't consider that perhaps his unprecedented HS offense was actually instilling some bad habits that would be difficult for any coach mitigate once he ran up against superior on-field competition against equally talented defenders.

[@WilliamNelson-p4q]

Stratford's definitely Hall of famer definitely Hall of famer

Watching this older video, great stuff as always. I'm in my mid 40s and have worked as a Software Engineer for my whole career at various tech companies. Engineers get paid well, but the sales people put us to shame. Especially in anything medical or tech. That said these guys who are "normal" and in sales jobs are still probably raking it in. Especially if they have been at the same company for awhile, it means they are meeting their numbers and probably bringing home 500K-2M.

[@yoursportsnow9729]

Bro your name is "mattbegreat" on KZbin humble yourself a bit. Smh. You talk about these guys with a condescending tone and ridicule them like you would have made it a quarter of the way they did.

[@travisgriffith3132]

I would like to see a series like this. Not for each position, but all the main ones. Rb, reciever, de, ect.

[@truettjohnson7230]

Vince Young was the real deal!

[@thizlam4810]

11:43 Joe Mauer is just an insane athlete. 73 TD thrown in 2 years as a QB, averaged 20 points per game as a SG in basketball, batted .600 and was one of the top baseball recruits in the nation. Dude probably could have picked any sport and been a stud.

[@jeffweaver7983]

#1 overall pick for the Twins in '02 I believe. Amazing

[@tylerhartig1928]

Jimmy’s biggest knock wasn’t ego it was hand size. He had the smallest hands for a QB coming out that year

[@ee-yb9ds]

Enjoy your content buddy - you’re very well spoken and you keep me intrigued. 👍🏻 I’m trying to think if there’s an athlete out of Vegas that you could report on …. 🤔

[@stealthyone8282ify]

Roll Tide! Great video! Would definitely like to see the same with RB's, recievers, etc

[@cesarespinoza8110]

because y’all got no qbs

[@ogkennyp2393]

9:50 Thought you said that man lives in a tree fort 😂😂😂

[@paullew4853]

Matt, (big Clausen fan and one of my profs back in the day is a Domer so he was on the Clausen train). 100% right about him playing at Oaks Christian he was on a stacked team and yes he got the “Lebron of college football” hype. Where the “cockiness” came from Charlie Weis tried to treat him the same way he did Brady Quinn, not realizing that Quinn was a legit starting QB in attitude and preparation. Clausen was a little more flash. Clausen’s first big announcement at ND was him showing up in a limo with his HS rings acting like he was just coming to take over. Also in 07 he got busted for driving someone who was drunk and transporting booze (kid’s stuff, no mention if he had drank so not a dui). He also had an incident where he got punched in south bend while out with his family. I don’t know how annoying he was, but if you’re the staring QB at Notre Dame and still get punched in the face, you probably made a bad decision.

[@MagillC135]

I played against this guy all four years in HS. That 2006-2007 OCHS team was stacked with at least 11 D1 starting players. Clausen had a terrible attitude while on the field and gave no respect to anyone off the field. That team was notorious for running up the score on any teams they played too. Zero sportsmanship.

[@CapstoneTider]

Kudos to a highly entertaining video with great insight. There's two great quarterbacks every 5 years with a lot of hype in between.

[@Drjmilli]

You should’ve split these into multiple videos bro lol

[@chetreid77]

That 2005 National Championship game was the best game I'd ever seen, at least, up to that point. I was a USC fan... who became a Texas fan... but I was still a USC fan. A true win for both teams and all fans

[@AUnit2010]

Brodie Croyle played in the smallest classification in Alabama. He had no business being the number 1 QB out of high school.

[@chriswalker9569]

We loved Sims at WSSU we had a great guy at qb already so we had a weird 2 headed monster going but it worked for us. He helped us make it to the D-2 national championship. Good times

[@mikenoble3126]

Is it JUST me that noticed this guy CANT say VEEDIOO (video) lol

[@vikings1960]

Lmao lmao I was just saying this to my wife....wtf

[@dorindanoble5862]

THAT IS A GOOD EAR. YOU NEED TO WORK IN OUR EDITING GROUP. I JUST MAY RECRUIT YOU!@! TOO FUNNY

[@kirkalbert7972]

First time watching the channel, great vid man! Subscribed.

[@TheDirtyDirtMcGirt]

Man, listening to you butcher names of schools, players, teams, etc, in this video was rough. SMH.

[@robertbenjamin5757]

🤣

[@akadvcyoubeezy6748]

The Las Vegas Rams 😂

[@matthofmann7517]

Oaklahoma raiders

[@phyllmeez]

Not to mention the grammatical errors…ijs

[@CoachLen25]

This guy did hours of research to entertain us for free and you’re complaining about this?

[@timwilliams8343]

Thanks Matt, I think you gave an Accurate & pretty Fair Assessment of each Player!

[@Antbeast23]

How you not show Vince rushing stats can’t just look at stats. Win loss record is important too and in Texas he did with adversity man he was a backup and had to work his way up and had pressure to win a championship.

[@deestew336]

He was a beast as a runner

[@deestew336]

He doesn't mention one word about his rushing ..

[@ChevonneReynolds]

I love your channel!!! Keep these coming!

[@rilynjohnson3297]

Ok Matt u made a few mistakes lol. U said Oklahoma Raiders, Las Vegas Rams, an u said Rosen went to USC, it was UCLA

[@kakykall]

Caught that too. Initially he said UCLA, then said USC

[@dlino4031]

Glad I'm not the only one to notice that but overall good content.

[@redluke8119]

Just foind your channel this video popped up subscribed man great content!

[@russellpo7758]

High School football rankings do not age well compared to high school basketball rankings

[@itsJClyde]

That’s true. 💯

[@KWillo]

Probably because hoopers don't have to wait 3 years to make the NBA.Alot can happen within a few years especially in football.

[@9LivesToGo]

It’s all about when a person hits maturity. It’s why some kids peak in pop warner, some in HS, some in college… it’s the ones that shine young but havnt fully matured until later in life that typically have NfL success

[@frankthegreat7162]

Yo Matt I hear you dude but be careful when you say some people haven’t had to deal with any adversity. VY was raised in a rough part of Houston if you are from Houston you know that Houston Madison HS aint no cake walk you have to deal with adversity every time you step outside. If you want to say living up to the hype of playing football ok but what your word some of these dude made it further than they could have ever imagine.

[@shredacademy6170]

GREAT VIDEO !!!! You 100% gained a new subscriber bro

[@Cela64]

Dude…. I know I’m 2 years late, but I hope over the last 2 years you’ve learned a little bit about football. In this video it is evident that you have never watched a single football game in your entire life, nor did you attended a single one of your English classes in high school. I hope that in the last 2 years you have since learned both the English language, and football.

[@brendonbrown9906]

LOVE YOUR CONTENT DAWG!!

[@shaqaman1862]

When some basketball news?

[@texaseagle2553]

I know I miss the Mikey Williams videos kind of.

[@dashantyler1475]

As a notre dame fan...YES!!! Clausen was way to cocky!!! He showed up on campus in a limo,held a press conference saying he was going to win multiple national championships!!!

[@mr.brooks3748]

Jeff Fisher was definitely apart of VY demise. VY still takes blame but Jeff was a horrible coach with a worse mustache

[@adamcrowley9320]

Anyone notice Stafford's HS tape....isnt Stafford at Highland Park??

[@byronandujar7453]

Bro we need basketball vids back

[@intotheoutof3541]

Jimmy Clausen was real humble as an 8th grader I met him outside the locker room at neyland during spring game

[@truettjohnson7230]

It's Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders!

[@mvgsports]

Why didn't you cover any of Vince Young's college rushing stats? It feels like you only told half of his story by zeroing in on his passing stats, solely.

[@Deuceakaq1]

He said Oklahoma raiders 🤣🤣

[@heatherblanton2457]

I LOVE the longer videos

[@vikings1960]

Lol lol lol lol viddiooo
