One of the best players ever to play and one hell of a man! Even more respect for him standing up for his siblings and to his high school coach and his wife for stepping in.

Love Patrick Willis. What a humble dude. So glad he is a 49er and I hope he spends his entire career as a 49er

Him and Ray Lewis will always be my favorite LB....

I wish he got a ring :(

He's a baaaaaad man coming from a Hawks fan he could come back now and still be a probowler

Patrick Willis should be in the Hall Of Fame soon I hope.

Pro-Bowl and All-Pro each of his first 6 seasons? I think its safe to say he's reached that level.

I think if he kept playing he would’ve been the best middle linebacker of all time

He's my favourite linebacker ever, a grateful and compassioante man

My favorite E60 story.

Sad, but you can tell his dad is so mean, Patrick is still somewhat afraid of him.

Beast!!! Imagine if he's on this 2019 defensive unit.🤔

I miss this man ! This guy was a true niner. Him and bowman were the scariest Guys in the NFL for years

I didn't know any of this. Patrick has my respect for enduring an abusive and crack addict father.

craziest MLB in the NFL. This dude is a beast.

Wow! What a man. Much respect Mr. Patrick Willis

Watching this with tears in my eyes.

My favorite player of all time and one of best people I’ve never met. I’m so humbled to of been able to watch him play live at the stick. I sat right above the tunnel they came out of. It gave me chills to see him in person and I cried when he retired. Great human.

My favorite linebacker p willis.... goooooo Niners!!!!

i appreciate you patrick willis and everything you've done for my 49ers!!!!

at 3:22 mike singletary nailed it home! what he said about willis applies directly to me and my life as well. i can relate and stories like this about other peoples' trials and tribulations inspires me to keep pressing for the mark and have perseverance.

cherish that moment I am 22 and playing Lacrosse and I still look up to him now, I wish I did when i was in high school. Be glad youre in high school playing football cause you have a big future ahead of you to dream.

Very touching story about his childhood!!! Patrick Willis is the man! A great guy and a great linebacker!!!! GO NINERS!!!!!

Man o man does this guy inspire me to not quit..........im 16 and play football same postion as willis., and i was thinking now why am i wasting my time playing football ill never make it to the NFL with all the problems i have in my life . But after seeing this theirs nothing that can stop me from making the NFL thanks Patrick .

best MLB right now... maybe GOAT.

No words good enough. But… respect! Love. 😥

My favorite of all time !!!!!

Yeah I’m a cowboy fan. And I grew up in the Bay Area. I must say Pat Willis is my new Hero

Young guys that stumble upon this video, this is a man to look up to.

Loved Willis was a amazing LB sO prOud that he was a 49er his whOle career i miss seeing him domanite the nfl just sad he never got a ring he desvered one

How about our 2019 Niner squad..we are straight balling..I think we have enough to get back to the bowl! Go Niners

Miss my guy P Willy happy retirement ❤️💛🤟🏽

Still .watching 2019

Always love ur Brother and Sisters

Most under rated line backer ever imo the best ever Bowman was very good also had to be the best duo ever also they got cheated two times sad when officiating ruins what should be he's a champ in my eyes maybe the greatest defensive unit in history

Miss him so much. My niner's finally have some offense, and go figure that great D is a mess now. Patrick come coach our young guys and show them how to tackle. This man better get in the HOF.

I'm just glad my Niners drafted him wish he'll stay forever.

The GOAT!

Im a Ravens fan but I sure hope Patrick gets to win a Super Bowl. Great person.

I know his family I went to the same highschool as P.Willie HOLLOW ROCK CENTRAL HIGHSCHOOL IN BRUCETON TN....THE MAN WHO ADOPTED HIM WAS one of MY FRESHMAN TEACHERS THE MAN ALSO TAUGHTE HOW TO PLAY CHESS

What a Story... What a Story

This made me go put on my Jersey in 2020

i love Patrick ¡ he is the Man¡

7 seasons. 7 Pro Bowls. 6 Time All Pro. DROY . and 950 tackles !

I like how he talks ... he is not like the type of person that talks to much.. he is quite .. I'm not hating but I hope he doesn't talk like Ray Lewis because Ray is different he is loud

GREAT PLAYER

Patrick is my Family, he and Kaepernick shut down the Green Bay Packers and Eddie Lacy during our last playyoff run...

his basketball coach looks like matthew staford

When football was hard knocks...

greatness is measured by the setbacks you have had in llfe and have you been able to fight through them----mike singletary

3:15 marks my favorite part in the whole video. I relate to him sooo much, it's not even funny.

G.O.A.T.

I can’t be mad at his pop because he was probably raised the same way. Black people in America still have ptsd from slavery that’s why we so messed up as a community

Single dad raising 3 kids in poverty... And people want to throw stones...

what a beast

RESPECT

Patrick willis is the best line backer ever even better than ray lewis

Its stories like this that makes the racists themselves hold their tongue on the internet and give props

Damm!! The Raiders could have drafted this dude but we got stuck with that POS Jamarcus Russell. Much respect Willis.

Patrick was a grown man in high school

My favorite player

Way better story than the blind side.

Together we rise

if it wasnt for kyle williams the niners wouldve and shoulve won that game

Patrick just came to my school

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pw is cool

HOF🐐

Wow very touching thank God for the basketball coach

Hands down the worst childhood of any famous athlete. What a human being. And now he is killing in Silicon Valley

Imagine being a receiver going across the middle against Willis & Bowman?? NO THANKS

His dad is very ashamed there you can see it.

I wonder what happened to this dad. It's a shame his dad treated him wrong there

I don't agree. As a linebacker, superbowl is out of his control.....well at least before Colin Kapernick came....I see it happening now

His dad was smoking crack fr

at 8:05 is that a real horse?

Why the fuck did he retire :(

that's my second cousin.

does anyone think he might get a card on madden 16?

I’m

rise

And your team will never get there ha ha troll.
