A number of American football players were multi-sport athletes in college; AF, Track & Field, Baseball, Basketball, even LaCrosse.

Keep in mind, a lot of these guys are HUGE. As an example, the guy who ran down the interception from his own end zone, DK Metcalf, is 6 foot 5 and 230 pounds and still has world class speed.

As an NFL fan that fell in love with European football(soccer), it's nice to see a football fan enjoying American football.

American football is the only sport where a guy that could be a competitive sumo wrestler would be on the field with a guy who could be a competitive Olympic sprinter. Soccer is more athletic than is generally realized in America, but the aerobic/stamina requirements of soccer tends to limit just how big and powerful a guy can be. These guys are often huge and fast and strong in ways that people outside the sport have a hard time imagining. Like try to imagine whole teams of guys as athletic as Zlatan. It's like that. There are things that are fouls in football, but they don't have anything to do really with what is a foul in soccer except going after a man's head. You can't grab the head or neck, and you especially aren't allowed to grab the face mask of the helmet. The rest of the things that are fouls generally have to do with hitting a guy who doesn't have the ball in a way he can't defend himself. No hitting a guy without the ball in the back, or below his knees, or things like that.

One of the most impressive things that goes unnoticed is how accurate qbs are from distance. Placing the ball perfectly hitting a receiver in stride from 50+ yards takes ridiculous talent

As a football (soccer) fan who really liked watching goalkeepers, when I first got into american football what mesmerized me the most was watching receivers with great hands like Victor Cruz and Desean Jackson (as an Eagles fan I watched mainly NFC east games). Nowadays my favourite part is probably watching good offensive line schemes, and creative defensive blitz lol

Another thing is the weight of the pads. People underestimate how much they limit and bog you down, which makes these plays that much more impressive

I went to an NFL games in London many years ago and the soccer fans back then made fun of American football because they wore pads. They now know a player needs pads to play football. It's a 100 times tougher game than soccer.

The play that starts at 5:18 in this video was nicknamed the "Beastquake" run because the roar of the crowd actually registered on nearby seismographs!

A lot of these football players did Track & Field in their off seasons in middle school, high school and college. They are all around athletes with World Class Speed and agility while carrying crazy amounts of muscle mass.

There are dudes in the nfl who are power lifter sprinter and acrobat all in one its insane

It's absolutely insane that half of these plays were from Julio Jones (11 for Falcons, 2 for Titans)

These athletes are beasts! Many do multiple sports in highschool. I’ve known football players who do track to help stay in shape since football is in the fall and track is in spring.

They're so nimble and I love it when they do gymnastics in the field.

8:46 - I watched that game & that run down score saving tackle of Baker that DK Metcalf pulled off was one of the most incredible displays of speed & athleticism I’ve seen in Pro-Ball ever.

keep it up bro great reaction

@3:35 that was Randy Moss, the dude who made so many dominate and unbelievable catches over people his last name became an adjective and/or verb. Edit: you don't want to get mossed

Only the ball has to break the plane of the white line and be in bounds, so the first play is a touch down because he held the ball out in bounds long enough to break the goal line.

Great video!!!

That QB that you asked why they let keep on running , it's Mike Vick. Just watch some of his highlights and you'll get it , no one was touching him.

9:33 He did mean to do that. He was tryna celebrate as he got to the goalline. It wasn't neccessary but he knew he was gonna score either way.

You have great understanding of the game for somebody that's just learning about it.

I like this format most because the commenter is minimized. These athletes are the navy seals of sports. The highest level of determination mixed with best athletes who are physical freaks in a good way. That big of a human. That fast. And they’re combined. Amazing

I’ve probably seen this video 40 different times and watched about 35 different people react to it… It never gets old! Seeing the looks on peoples faces every time they see this stuff for the first time is absolutely priceless!

When you were talking about that guy's legs, man you have to see Saquon Barkley's legs. They are freaking tree trunks.

At 9:30 the man who does the flip is golden tate and he’s infamous for taunting his opponents at every opportunity. The flip wasn’t necessary he was just showing off

Where I grew up, in Texas, the guys that were real promising were sent to gymnastics, ballet etc. in addition to two a days.

Soccer is 2D, American football is 3D.

These guys are that good. They do it all the time. One hand catches.

Our high school soccer team we put american football defensive backs on defense. Works really well.

Can't wait for football season again... Americans live for football 🏈 ❤️

Im going to try to get into american football this year. Ik as a kid my favorite team was.falcons but thats when mike vic was at it but i also rly liked raiders for some reason

You should watch videos on Jim Brown and Berry Sanders. Hella athletes.

Sport is definitely a brutal one. More-so than many football fans realize. The lineman break their fingers often from the collision when the ball gets snapped

You should check out the college football entrances and traditions

Great video! I'd love to get your reaction to the NFL's hardest hits.

I think the guy at 9:50 was anticipating a block from the guy running toward him in the end zone, and was jumping over where he thought the other player would hit.

quick note, the orange things on the edges of an endzone count as the endzone. if someone can knock one down from the front with football in hand without any part of their body touching the out of bounds area, it's counted as a touchdown

Are we watching the beginnings of Bangso’s journey into American Football 👁👁 you will not be dissatisfied brother

For throwing and catching skills I will put baseball right up there.

first play out the oragne pool is called the pilon if you hit is you score even if you are out

🔥🔥🔥💪

What blows my mind is that in the 23-24, Seahawks player Metcalf reached the speed of 22.23mph in a 75 yard run!

I can't remember the exact statistics of it... but I think it was close to a 99% drop off rate once you get to the high school level.. like only 1% of high school football players are good enough to get a full ride scholarship to college, then of that 1%, 99% of them will not go on to the NFL... meaning from Pee-Wee football to Jr. high ball, to JV high school ball, to Varsity ball, to college, to NFL, every jump in level is just filtering to get the best of the best of the best of the best... to the point that "proper athlete" doesn't come close to describing the players... at that point, they're closer to superheroes than they are human

react to biggest hits in the NFL alot of em are wild

I feel that hell nah for the first one. that’s me every time I see it.

When you’re looking at a collage of NFL moments, like a top 50, you must understand that you’re seeing clips spanning decades of film. Rules currently don’t allow the kind of acrobatics that you’re asking on.

Can't believe they didn't have that one Minshew td pass on the jags

Hello from America Bangso. Do you get to watch NFL games LIVE over in Britain? If you can scape together enough money etc. ,I recommend you pay a visit to a typical American sports bar on college football Saturday or NFL Sunday between September & January.

Well the thing is some of them are lucky but the ones that do look like he still takes a lot of skill because it's so much hand-eye coordination that goes into plus you need to have that hand strength even hold on to them lucky catches when you smack that ground it smacks it's basically two trucks at 35 mph hitting each other for 16 games a season

These are mostly recent plays, if they went further back through history, there are plays that would put these to shame. There was one of a man; Gary Anderson who gets to the 10, jumps over 2 Miami Dolphins fully standing up and lands in the endzone, like Air Jordan. People make a big deal of the one-handed catch, John Jefferson of the Chargers did it as a regular thing and wore no tacky gloves. Etc.

These plays are likd 5 6 years old theres so much more to explore

I genuinely forget how much of a freak of nature Julio Jones was when it comes to athleticism.

you funny asl

Season starts September 10, I think.

determination, that was on the head. they want it so bad

If you hurdle and kick someone in the face, they'll call "unnecessary roughness" but only if the foot hits them. The example I'm thinking of was right to the facemask. I'm not sure what'd happen if it was to the shoulder or something else.

It’s probably been said but on the first play you didn’t understand why it was a touchdown. It was hard to see at that angle but only the tip of the ball has to pas the plane of the goal line to count. The player knew exactly where that was so where that was so if you watch his leap he twists his body so that his hand with the ball was moving towards the end zone line. The referee could see it at the right angle and could see the tip cross the line. So at that point it didn’t matter where his body was

these players are super human...Brian robinson Jr got shot twice in the leg and came back to play within 8 weeks...

You should check out the NHL ( hockey). Another great North American sport

be on the lookout this week! we did a fake Patrick mahomes prank you can react to! ps: I subbed great stuff!

6:55 that's my brother's brother in law. He was playing for the Chiefs and my big brother was playing at the Chicago Bears during this time. And at 9:21 # 47 on the Giants is my cousin Uani Unga 💯🔥🇹🇴

@BANGSO I know as an American we get made fun of a little bit intentionally like the World Cup for example. But just take a second to imagine if we had all of our top athletes playing futbol. Instead of all of our elite athletes being spread out between football, basketball, baseball, hockey etc. Imagine a 6 foot 9 Lebron James with a vertical leap of 44 inches (1.12 Meters) and lighting quick reflexes standing in goal, like who is scoring on that man. Or a Tyreek Hill breakaway who has a max sprint speed of 37 KM/H (in full football pads and a helmet btw). Like what defender is ever catching him. If we ever manage to get all of our elite athletes into futbol we’d be a real contender for the World Cup I think

These guys are huge btw, so it’s impressive how fast they are

Really wish Larry Allen's chasedown was included in this

Steve Young is "clever" 😂

Insaw the Jerome Simpson flip live with my cousins and uncles and we arent Cinnci fans but we went nuts

Shout out to Dante Hall. We miss you ❤️💛

There a plenty of Rules in the NFL!! We have a thing called Flags (the ref throws a YELLOW flag) Trust me tho a lot of little detail tbh when it comes to RULES.

Was hoping Randall Cunningham vs the Giants would be on this video..

In regards to safety, a lot of things are "overlooked" because of the helmets and pads these guys wear. Under those jerseys they are basically wearing body armor. Thanks to modern technology they can keep it compact and lightweight as possible but they are still protected quite well. There are many moves in the NFL that can be dangerous and thise are taken very seriously. Facemask is a big one, grabbing the bars of the facemask because it can whip the head to the side and injure the neck. Helmet to helmet tackles and clipping are big ones too.

How many of these channels exist

How many of those highlights were Julio Jones, felt like at least 1/4 to 1/3 of them.

Most of these small hits and falls would put us normal people on our azz, broken. And the pop right up for the next play. But….the quality of life after nfl isn’t the greatest for a lot of these superhumans. I truly think nfl and nba players could be the greatest athletes on the planet.

THIS IS FOOTBALL. MURICA RAHHHH

FYI if no one else said this the ball needs to cross the plane to be a TD.

4:30 As a Bills fan I hate the Cowboys, but RIP Marion the Barbarian.

Settings>Playback Speed , is how u mess with the speed of the Video.

Clearly a Julio Jones fan edited the clip he watched, crazy to only have two Mike Vick plays in a “most athletic plays” compilation including like 8 Falcons games

These are nice... but if you want to see the most athletic plays in NFL history, just look up "Barry Sanders highlights". Everyone said he was undersized, but he was a one man highlight reel, for an otherwise crappy team, (that still managed to reach the playoffs a couple times on his back/legs).

If you want to see how tough you need to be what's the documentary on Dick Butkus

For some reason, Americans are very loyal and passionate about their chosen Universities/Colleges. I think it is because we are a union of separate states that have at least couple of schools within each of them. And we all have pride for our alma maters!!!

If only he know how far away dk was before the int 😂 or how dangerous Barry and hall were with the juke and spin

Incase you still don't know: jkl keys J rewind 10 seconds. L fast fwd 10 seconds. K is pause/play. Left/right arrow keys do 5 seconds. Settings gear in video let's you do playback speed.

You learn to jump that high to avoid someone trying to kill you.

We have a more tuned down version of this video. Actually comes with a tampon.

This is why Football is better than soccer. You never see anything like this on a soccer field.

I would say trying to jump over other players in soccer can be dangerous considering they're wearing cleats and don't have shoulder pads or helmets

It’s interesting when non Americans watch this. When he talked about going high as being a foul, I wish he knew the history of this game😂 It’s watered down now but it used to be an unbelievably violent game.

I'm not even a Chiefs fan and I get upset everytime I see ol' buddy didn't make that catch when Mahomes was parallel to the ground. IT HIT HIS MF FACEMASK. Stole the greatest completion ever from Mahomes

So many people outside the USA sleep on American football

Only tip of ball has to break the plane

The first video he did make it because he hit the pylon if you hit the pylon you get the tf

It’s called most athletic nfl plays. Turns into a Julio jones highlight reel. He’s different

If you hit the red bar it counts as in

In football people only remember highlights and Super Bowl wins.

Dude, these are high school plays now

This original video must have been made by a Packers fan, where are all the Randy Moss, Adrian Peterson, Justin Jefferson, Diggs, anything by a Vikings player clips (or bears player)

It’s almost criminal that not one TROY POLAMALU play was in this when he easily has one of the top 10 most athletic plays off all time

This is a julio jones highlight vid 😂😂😂
