A former player of mine started all four years at linebacker at USC, led the team in tackles every year, was named team captain both of his last two seasons....and he had to send out a mass letter begging teams to take a look at him just to barely get considered at the end of the draft. Drafted in the 7th round, cut before the season even started and signs to a practice squad, cut again and signs to a different practice squad, played special teams for a while before finally getting two starts at the end of the year due to injury (where he plays great), next year he's back on special teams and doesn't get any meaningful defensive snaps all year, cut again and onto a new team, there he starts for most of the season and looks fine, but the next year he's a backup all year, waived at the end of the season. Signs and then gets waived by two more teams without ever seeing the field again. Now he's coaching. His big shortcoming? He was "only" 6'0" 235lbs with a 4.7 40. Back in the 1970s, those would be Pro Bowl numbers, but today there are just too many linebackers going 6'3" with 4.6 or better speed, and the coaches are always gonna gravitate towards those #'s.

Sorry to sound condescending but I'm not going to watch for 15 minutes, and so I don't know if this is covered in your video, but the reason his career went south was because of concussions. Most specifically a hit he took against Wisconsin when he had all but officially replaced Shea Patterson as the starter. McC had a slighter frame but he ran upright to contact. In other words he was built like Tom Brady (exaggeration) but ran like his brother. He wasn't built to last and withstand hits. He was a heck of a dual threat before injuries. JJ lite.

For whatever reason where I lived has tons of Tongan people it’s similar to Salt lake..No cap we could’ve beaten the number one ranked team in the country my senior year..

I don't give a F about likes but if you would sign the petition and want Matt to see this hit the like. I refuse to sit back while the ultra rich get richer by peeling our eyelids back and making us watch the destruction of this sport. Ultimately it's part YOUR (the fan) fault for accepting this. Every time a content creator puts Swift in the title they're feeding the beast just to get clicks and then you click on it and feed a double serving....which means you're selling out just like the NFL.
