Rip to a legend. (Anyone that doesn’t know this is based on a true story and the real guy died in a car crash)

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard

“Coach, I’ve played against walk-ons; that is no walk-on.” Brandon is the reason he was no longer a walk-on. He earned his place on that team with his discipline (losing 50+ lbs, getting up every morning at 5:15am, exercising), perseverance through failure when lesser men would have given up, and enthusiastic dedication to learning the proper techniques (“remember your steps”). It’s a good life lesson for all of us.

“DUDE JUST WALK ON THE GRASS!” I was dying 💀

this guy was literally the definition of never giving up.

What's crazy is that there are 330 pound linemen that can do back flips.

I've played against walk-ons. That is no walk-on. I LOVE IT!!

Sucks to never see Brandon play in the NFL, could’ve been a great player.

He’s actually pretty fast

This video gave me courage to lose weight and i lost 70 pounds i worked out every day

Honestly, that’s a coach that anyone would kill to have. He’s strict, but he’s willing to work with you and help you get better.

Too bad there isn’t any coaches like that now a days 🤷🏾‍♂️

This man ran a 4.88 at the combine. That’s INCREDIBLY fast for someone his size. What a remarkable story he had(s). ^Quick story to back this up^ We were playing pickup one day at our local school’s field. I was thrown the rock and had nothing but crappy half-green turf in front of me to the end zone. I saw my life flash before my eyes as a MASSIVE, FAT varsity lineman tackled my ass from nowhere. Lessons learned: DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE LINEMEN! They are fast!

“That’s not walk on” You’re right, that’s not a walk on. That’s a champion.

All about vision and self belief, despite what others might say. Nearly everyone laughed at him and said no way he can do this. Brandon thought he could do it the whole time and kept the faith and head held high at all times. He stayed true and became an all time great man and story- will never forget this film.

Hard work and dedication with a pure heart and clean conscious can and will never be defeated. RIP 🙏🏽 Brandon

I’m number 77 in high school football and I went through a transformation like he had to. This movie meant a lot to me.

Loved this movie. Honestly didnt know it was based off real event and person. Sad to know and see he passed away.

Based on a true story, Brandon Vaughn Burlsworth was an offensive lineman for the Arkansas Razorbacks football team from 1995 to 1998. He joined the team as a walk-on and eventually became an All-American and was going to marry television host Heather Nichols but died in a car accident offseason from a head on collision on his was to Chruch ..RIP Brandon 🕊

Fast as hell for that size. Edit: holy shit this got a lot of likes

Brandon channeled into his faith and found strength. something that is so rare. for anyone. let alone those who are faithful. it dosn't matter what you pull your strength from. just pull it. Brandon was the person we all wish to be. and that comes from a person who isn't a fan of sports.

He was booking it on them sprints

3:31 when you hear someone at your door

(RIP) Rest In Peace Brandon Burlsworth.🙏

"Coach I've played against walk on' s, that is no walk on." Woo pig soowie

Ok KZfaq I finally watched it are you happy now?

Yo someone get the syrup, heard they servin Pancakes

We watched this last year in school such a good movie

Seen the story on College Gameday. He is truly the greatest walkon ever

I've never seen this movie, but this coach seems like a great guy. He's honest about his weight issue but he's also willing to help him every step of the way. That's a great coach imo

6:09 The moment he realised he got a diamond in the rough

Every young offensive lineman should watch this movie. Its about technique, hand placement, leverage, foot drive, pad level... Shaq Mason got into the league as a Triple Option G. He learned how to pass protect at the pro level in one training camp, became one of the top guards in the league a season later and was named an all-pro in his 4th season.

anyone here in 2020??!! miss this guy and the movie??!!

This whole scene pumps me up 🔥🔥

I feel 33's pain.....every time I got in the game...my first play I get pancaked....

As Notre Dame die-hard, Rudy is my favorite football movie, my favorite underdog story, and one of my 3 favorite movies of all time. Yes, it took some creative liberties, but it still brings tears to my eyes. With that said, I absolutely love this movie. From what I understand, it doesn't take too many creative alterations; it's pretty much the real and amazing story of Brandon Burlsworth. He is a true inspiration to anyone who was ever told, "You can't do it." The world needs more Brandon Burlsworths. RIP to a great football player and a better man.

A true inspiration. RIP Brandon Burlsworth

Im 260 at 16 yrs old 5'7 I needed this. It really has given me the confidence to be healthier. I'll come back when im in better shape

I really liked what he said at the end bc instead of getting really salty he complimented his skill

I lost 60 pounds. Watching this makes me proud.

What sad ending! Amazing to see what he went through, really wished you were able to play in the NFL like yo were supposed too. (He was drafted in the 2nd round and died in an accident 10 days later)

I just read up about this man. What an athlete and what a player. I played ball for 19 years and shared the same #77 number as this man. RIP up in Hog heaven. Stay low...Get inside control and keep those feet moving.

I learned from the title of this video that Brandon lost so much weight that he had to shorten his name to: "Bradon".

Why are a bunch of Brandon Burlsworth videos suddenly in my youtube recommendations?

Love how the coach was shocked at the win Brandon pulled off at the end but had him do it again to build his confidence and to see his coaching paid off

Wish my coach was like that.

How about 90% of the equipment and training concepts he used to get fit did not even exist before 3 years ago.

Feel so good for this guy

Wow I just watched this movie yesterday and it has to be one of the best sports movies I've seen.

Anyone else angry because the stadium is so modern (new logo, at&t logo, artificial turf), and all the gym equipment seems fairly modern.

this is one of the greatest coaches i’ve ever seen and the hard work of brandon was impeccable

Every player that wants to walk on or tired of hearing they're not good enough should watch this TRUE inspirational story about a great young man.

This is one of the greatest stories ever. And I cry like a baby every time I watch it and I’ve seen it 15 times probably. That’s fucking heart and dedication

I’m from peru and since I watched greater I’ve admired to Brandon, he inspiring me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Who else got this in their recommended 3 years later?

Absolute warrior. Greatest story I’ve ever heard

I love this movie and I love the man Brandon was. He was a great man of God

Man I miss playing football, but by the end of high school I wasn’t good enough for college. This is what I miss! This cage type of thing, so fun!

He was the greatest walk on ever. R.I.P he did everything to hard way. He’s a legend.

FINALLY SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT ARKANSAS FOOTBALL TEAM I CAN WATCH AGAIN

“Okay let’s try that again” 😂😂

When someone saids “get off me” at practice you know they just got owned lmao 🤣

The moment how i thought i couldn't over come being skinny and fighting autism spectrum disorders when i did it.It was hard ass work to try and get into shape but over the years i prevailed and i done did it...now I'm all mighty an all super naturally powerful an indestructible.Even my enemies who thought i couldn't do it proved their asses wrong i weigh over 180 pounds i'm 5'9 and i look so damn good at it too.It was never easy but as a blessing i was hungry for victory so i never gave up trying.Way to go Brandon I'm proud of you my guy😉🤘✨✨✨💪💪😎.

Anything is possible with great leaders like that coach and his encouragement

“I played against walk-ons that is no walk-on” You’re right that’s an legend

I thought 720p meant 720 pounds

This movie is so inspiring to whoever plays any sports shows to never forget about family and to never give up

I cried so much. He reminds me of my son

When I was 370, I was half his size. No way he was 334. I'm 320 now and I'm barely smaller than what I was. Lol.

Hard work and dedication will get you to your destination . The key to life is to believe in yourself💪🏾

Growing up from middle school to even now senior in hs everyone kept hating on my work ethic or calling me a try hard every time I felt like I couldn't do it it scream how bad do u want it. Watching this movie n finding this man out motivated me to never giving anything less than 150% in anything I do, especially sports it paid off in the end I earned the respect from one of my old enemies, now my goal and treat is to work on coaching at arkansas where the man myth legend played at

Brandon Burlsworth's name will live on due the the trophy that bares his name. This trophy goes to the best walk-on each year.

Is anyone here cause it’s in your recommendations

I’m only 11 and I was crying watching this movie, God does everything for a reason 😔

I have to see this movie. I was and still somewhat am a draft junkie read about this kid back in the day and it was truly sad how early his life ended.

Love that this story was told. Great life lessons!

5:37 AND THE CROWD GOES WI.... oh well THE CROWD GOES QUIET

this is a great movie, and takes place about 2 or so hours away from where i live so thats neat

I LOVE BRANDON BURLSWORTH 💜

No matter how many times i watch this, it always shows up in my recommendations

This is so inspiring!!!

Lived this, except for the car wreck at the end. Went from 300 down to 230 in high school. Got my 40's down to 5.3. Went on to start in D2 as a sophomore because at 6'3" 260, I could run in the mid 5's while ever other OL in the league was turning 6's and 7's at 300+ . Eating right and running about 6 miles a week along with weight room training.

Coach created a machine!

I have been recommended this video a hundred times

Brandon worked hard in the movie

Coach trains him hard.. gets him to be the best he could.. then gets mad cuz his best player can’t stop his own creation and still calls him a walk-on

I come back here from time to time.

I don't usually watch movies that involved religion. However, this story was so inspirational and in my 43 years one of the most moving stories that I've ever known of that even made me question my faith or lack of.

Dang miss these moment's with my team.

Glory be to God

Great movie. This kid accomplished what most people can’t just because they never try. Very sad ending. Wish more people had the heart he did. We definitely have a better world today.

Coach “you’re not going to beat him” Brandon “and I took that personal”

4:45 “if this dude ever play in a real game I’d be an all American.” Bro the only difference is that Brandon worked harder then any of you scholarship players who went from walk on to the NFL.

At least he has the mind set and is willing to do this

First they doubt you Next they challenge you Then they respect you

Greatest sports story of all time. RIP

Love this movie

Let's go Brandon! This guy worked his ass off (literally) and earned his way. It's a real tragedy what happened to him

“DUDE JUST WALK ON THE GRASS” kills me every time😂😂

RIP Brandon Burlsworth
