  • how about Jesus Christ?

  • How about Rob Gronkowski??

  • If you look closely, you can see that Kobe hogged the ball

  • REALY!! At least keep it in lbs of force not just change randomly to joules

  • @deleteaman ...You can't measure energy in lbs... They can measure the force of an impact in lbs.. But they can't measure the amount of energy that is being exerted in lbs. Like.. just think. "He has is using 20lbs of energy." ...Okay.. What does that even mean?.. I doesn't make sense.. That is why they HAVE to use Joules. Instead of whining and being lazy, how about educating yourself first.

  • this guy is a freak

  • Maybe I typed it wrong. I'm not saying VD isn't fast. What I was saying is that Gronk is not fast enough to get away from anybody.

  • Lol at some of these comments, VD is as athletic as they come. He is fast, strong, and makes plays. He is fast enough to get behind coverage, and is strong enough to bring down those tough catches and fight for extra yards. Gronk is different. He is BIG at 6'6", the avg DB is around 5'11" so he's got a huge advantage. Gronk has great hands, but his size is honestly what makes him such a force. Yet the Giants found a way to shut him down, granted he was injured.

  • @iiRaveNeff honestly gronk should of never played in that game, he was running at 75% speed and wasent even a good decoy. they should of played their healthy 3rd string.

  • @MrShakenbake46 I agree with that completely. It could have made a difference, but his presence did bring a lot of attention. Had he been healthy he may have caught that deflected pass at the end of the game.

  • he stepped out of bounds...

  • The human body is an amazing thing.

  • Gronkowski is 6'6 the average corner is somewhere in the 5'10-5'11 area. Most linebackers are between 6'0-6'4. The guy has a distinct advantage. Height that's all. He's breaking tackles because he's freaking 6'6 265. Vernon breaks them all the time when people actually catch him and he's only 6'3 250. He's not fast enough to get away from anybody his just catching jump balls. Not to mention teams having to account for Aaron Hernandez that alone frees him up on a lot of plays.

  • @tyrone121285 Did you say Vernon wasn't fast enough to get away from anybody?

  • @PieandBiscuits No I'm saying Gronkowski isn't fast enough to get away from anybody.

  • @tyrone121285 Vernon ran a 4.38 just saying

  • @tyrone121285 VD isn't fast enough to get away from people, yet he get's into open field a LOT and burns defenders quite a bit. Every player gets caught by someone, but saying that he isn't fast enough is just asinine.

  • Vernon Davis has been underrated for the years he's played ball. I personally think he's more athletic, and a better overall TE the Gronkowski

  • i deed it!

  • vernon has turned into a freaking reciever lol. hes like dallas clark always going out for a pass. he needs to go to a team where they can use him as an actual TE!

  • dont bring up gronk! hes to ill for yall fags

  • @Sampdelu well those people are stupid

  • And some people say football players arent fit..

  • Why is the guy whos shooting the ball wearing pads?

  • gronk is better than this clown

  • @GotAnEyedea Not at all lol. Vernon is the most athletic freak at this position. Makes defenses change their whole plan just to stop him.Safetys need to be on point as well bc he can blow by them and give up a easy 6.

  • hahaha he did a number on the saints

  • lol what if all soccer players plays football and vice versa. epic fail

  • Come on sports science why yall making him rock a DT helmet

  • the crash dummy is roman harper

  • Pls understand what I'm saying Gronk and Graham are athletic but if you think the qb doesn't factor into this equation your sadly mistaken. Also another factor people aren't taking into account is the WR cops on these respective teams that draw attention away from Gronkowski and Graham which allow them to just blast off the line freely. Tell me who on our team draws attention away from Vernon Davis??? Hmmm??? Better yet how many times have you seen Vernon get a free release of the line???

  • they are all talented guys....news flash

  • ya guys gronk is totally not athletic, no big deal to truck 2 professional athletes over 400 pound combined in less than a second

  • rob gronkowski and jimmy graham are still great tight ends.

  • i didnt the the offensive line was an eight foot tall wall with a hole in it and i also didnt know that davis was a horse being lassoed by corners

  • damn he ran a 4.38? gronk got 4.65. hes still cold tho obviously im just sayin. and the qb difference factors in. nonetheless two great tight ends. but 4.38??? thats insane

  • @coldsparkz202 Insane, he is a freak athlete. Gronk and Jimmy Graham are taller, bigger targets, but not as strong or fast i believe. TEs seem to be taking over the NFL

  • @TheAngeltoDemon You are correct that neither are faster.

    Vernon is strong than Graham, but Gronk is stronger than Vernon. However, I'd rate Vernon overall higher than either of those two. Probably highest in the league right now.

  • At the beginning if you throw your arms back to cock them up for a big blow you will have already lost against a good defensive lineman. You have to shoot your arms straight from the 3 point position if you want to win that battle.

  • When will two cornerbacks ever lasso him?

  • classic that they used Saints players as the dummies! Go niners!

  • I do not know about this NUMBERS Vernon Davis produces.... WOW he is THE BEST TE of this ERA. 

  • Comment removed

  • This funny because Vernon actually did this against the saints last night

  • Comment removed

  • Out of bounds at 1:49. You lose.

  • thats freakin crazy 4.38 40 yard dash for a TE damnnn

  • Rob Grownkowski is just like Jimmy Graham they have a superstar quarterback throwing to them Vernon Davis is in another stratosphere compared to them.

  • @tyrone121285 wow rob is actually pretty good

  • @luisalexander70 Nobody's denying that rob's good. I'm just saying Vernon is a faster much more athletic TE and a terrific blocker he's just not being thrown to 80-90 times.

  • @tyrone121285 vernon is the gonzalez type tight end hes just faster great blocker and great hands

  • @tyrone121285 That's an ignorant statement, Tom Brady doesn't make Gronk break tackles, run great routs, or make amazing catches. 

  • @tyrone121285 You're right Gronkowski has a superstar qb , but that doesn't deny his athleticism .

  • @tyrone121285 49er fan boy lol. no matter what quarterback a tightend has, he will still get the ball on 3rd and short. the 49ers look good doing it because they play shitty teams. vernon is good and all, but gronk, gates, graham are all better than him.

  • @takeYOURreadstep Seriously you want to talk about shitty teams. The Patriots didn't face one team over .500 team all season. The Niners were 4-1 against teams that made the playoffs. That's right sit down and STFU.

  • @bobo0383 and check out what he did against the "shitty" teams in the playoffs. 10 catches nearly 300 yds receiving and 4 TDs.

  • @bobo0383 Yea the niners beat more .500 plus teams, but where are they now? It's not how you get to the playoffs, but what you do in the playoffs.

  • @TheSpec1alOne A ST gaffe away from making it to the Super Bowl. Considering no one picked them to do shit this year, I think that's rather impressive. And a major reason for that was VD. The only team the Patriots beat with a winning record all season was the Ravens in the AFC title game (got outplayed too). My point is that VD produced against much better competition than Gronkowski. And for anyone to say otherwise is ignorant or too stupid to know what they're watching

  • @TheSpec1alOne Not referring to you as to stupid or ignorant, but takeYOURreadstep

  • @bobo0383 I'm sorry they didn't beat a single team over .500, is what I meant

  • @bobo0383 hey, dumb ass. you can only beat the teams on your scheduel. the patriots have been a dynasty for 11 years and they've beat the shit out of good teams consistantly every year. thats besides the fact. all the plays vernon davis makes are when he is uncovered in the open field. and then he just runs. no big fucking deal. sure hes fast but hes not even close to the level grahm and gronk are on.

  • @takeYOURreadstep Are you a moron.  WTF the are you talking about 11 years, Gronk has only been in the league 2 years. What the Pats did 11 years ago has nothing to do this years Pats, so what's your point? Besides YOU said that the 9ers played shitty teams. Now YOU say that the Pats can only play on the teams on their schedule when they play an even shittier schedule. Way to make a completely stupid argument.

  • @takeYOURreadstep And there's a reason why Vernon appears he's uncovered its because he's faster than most team's secondaries. And that all he's does? I'll tell what else he does; he blocks. If you actually watched the 9ers (which by your dumbass comment, I know you don't) Harbaugh used him a lot as an extra blocker to protect Alex Smith. But thank you for proving that you ARE too stupid to know what you are watching

  • @bobo0383 wow. i had no idea that coaches would actually use tightends to block...damn thats crazy dude. and no i dont watch alot of 49er football even though that and the raiders are the only thing on out here. just saying anyone athelete can do good in a missmatch. #overratedtightend

  • @takeYOURreadstep That is the dumbest argument I have ever read. So Gronk is not a mismatch at 6'6" 265? I can make a similar case about Gronk; any big ass oaf can do good in a missmatch against players giving up 30 lbs and 4 to 6" to him. Any analyst worth his salt will tell you that Davis is and has always been one of the best blocking TEs in the game. I'd take Davis who actually takes on more of a responsibility on offense than a TE who's just used as a pass catcher any day of the week.

  • @bobo0383 yeah hes bigger than the people covering him. every time gronk catches the ball hes got a guy all up in his face hankin at his legs and yet he still breaks tackles and stays in bounds. and gronkowski is the best blocking tightend in football right now. incase you didnt know.

  • @takeYOURreadstep First off, Vernon has been a premiere blocker since he's been in the league so I'm not getting into a argument with you in a topic as subjective as blocking. But being bigger is a better skill than being faster than people covering him? Huh? Fine I've seen VD throw players off him trying to tackle him as well. VD is just as physical as any player in the league.

  • @tyrone121285 I hate gronk, and I agree with you, but I think that no matter what QB Gronk or Graham play with, they will still be incredible. Obviously not as good as when Brees or Brady is throwing to them, but yeah.

  • @tyrone121285 Are you serious? Gronk has the all time record for td receptions at the tight end position in his second year in the nfl.

  • @flaminshit97 That's because he plays in an offense where the ball gets thrown 600times. The guy was targeted over a 100 times. VD had 12td's a few yrs ago and he wasn't target nearly that many times. Don't you think if the 49ers actually threw at VD 100+ he could break that record??? VD has to do more things than just catch jump balls. Btw did you happen to notice what happened when Brady threw it up for grabs in the SB he got picked off. Because gronk didn't have a height mismatch.

  • @tyrone121285 Oh really? Prove it then

  • @ultimateman45 I don't have to prove anything. Gronkowski got shut down by the giants secondary they had no answer for Vernon Davis. You know why that was? Vernon can actually outrun defenders Gronkowski just plays off of height mismatches that's why the giants sent that 6'4 linebacker in the secondary and he picked brady when he tried to go deep to Gronkowski. Davis would have blew past that guy and into the endzone.

  • @tyrone121285 You do realize he was playing with an injured ankle he received just two weeks ago.

  • @ultimateman45 Cry me a river. The guy wasn't that injured. Football teams do this all the time in an effort to throw off the game plan of the opposing defense. Harbaugh routinely listed players as questionable when he knew full well they we're going to start. It's called strategy. Also It didn't seem to be stopping him too much seeing as how he wasn't running too much faster than he usually does.

  • @tyrone121285 I don't know about you but I watched the AFC Championship. He clearly suffered a high ankle sprain on that play and high ankle sprains take longer than two weeks to fully recover from

  • i wanna see gronkowski do this lol

  • @ImDaMan907 i wanna see gronkowski dead but we can't get everything :/

  • @richi619 why cuz he has a better life than you

  • @jaketiger12 no because he fucked your mom first than me.......

  • @richi619 oh i see that was my second guess

  • @ImDaMan907 He can't. lol. Jimmy Graham and Ron Gronkwski are clearly great pass catchers, but as far as blocking and well-roundedness goes, Vernon Davis is THE best TE in the NFL. Once the Niners have more time in Harbaugh's new system, the NFL will see.

  • @5thEagle Whoops, Rob, not Ron.

  • @ImDaMan907 that would be awesome but not as interesting because he already does it every game

  • @ImDaMan907 that would be awesome

  • @ImDaMan907 i think vernon davis is the most atheltic tightend in the nfl, maybe even player. he's 6'3 250 and runs a 4.36

  • @arttyboy16 Calvin Johnson, 6' 5", 4.35 236, 4g" vert, 6' 10" wingspan, Max reach 12' 5", I'm a die heat niners fan and VD is my favorite player but CJ is definitely tied for the number one spot

  • @Adiaz761 Good point, it really isn't even fair that he's in the NFL lol.

  • @arttyboy16 lol I know right imagine if he was in the NBA! D Rose is 6 3 w/ like a 39 inch vert, Cj is 6 5 w/ a 45 inch vert aha He'd be dunking on people left to right!

  • they should do rob grownkowski

  • How come vernon davis doesn't run as fast as he seems like he could??

  • @NOTguineapigeon I think V. Davis never gets a clean release off the line which doesn't give him much of a chance to get up to full speed. I watch the niners religiously and Davis is always covered up coming off the line by a DE or OLB and they always contact him.

  • @Sharkwalker1 He also always uses his arms to catch balls, which is fine, but sometimes he's going to have to use to hands.

  • @NOTguineapigeon that's true, was mad when he dropped the long TD a few weeks ago.

  • haha hes fast because hes black

  • why do they always give them the ugliest helmet ?

  • Maryland!

  • 49ers!

  • Make one on Dez Bryant. I want to know his secret to spectacular catches so that could come in handy during high school football.

  • throwing a ball at a target is much easier than shooting a clay pigeon

  • 2:14

    "they cant stop me!"

    love that

  • look at that shit ball security though, if he was really hit by a defender holding the ball like that it would be fumbled. hard.

  • one name Jona Lomu

  • put gronkowski through this

  • @habman7 gron would be shit, the only reason why he's good right now is because of Tom Brady throwing it to him and he's huge so he has momentum to run over those tiny CB. He's actually pretty slow.

  • There have been plenty of highlights of tightends, fullbacks even strong running backs dragging 1 or 2 DBs for a few yards. So this test it pretty realistic they are just giving the type of numbers they put out doing it. Vernon can squat well over 500lbs im sure he can drag 360lbs.

  • alex smith should throw to him more

  • @TINBITZPHAM

    lol they should get a new quarterback

  • @roocho02 true

  • Wow he is short for tight end.

  • wow that is fast for a tight end

  • TRACY AND JABARI DONT LET NO ONE CARRY THEM INTO THE ENDZONE. except that lynch guy... but he was lucky.

  • Top 6 TE's

    1. Jermichael Finley

    2. Antonio Gates

    3. Jason Whitten

    4. Jimmy Graham

    5. Rob Gronkowski

    6. Vernon Davis

  • @mikemarc92 i wouldn't agree.. truley the good one is id say is antonie gates and gonzelez. the rest. rob gronkowski is in tom brady's tool. jimmy graham and jermichael finley are with some of the best qb's in the NFL. vernon davis puts up number with alex smith. easier to catch for more yards when you don't have a qb who throws 2300 yards in a season and at one point 48% of his passes (old alex smith). just sayin look at the situation there in. and jason whitten for bout him.

  • @mikemarc92 you need to hop off the packers tho.

  • @mikemarc92 jermichael Finley is overrated. He would suck without Arron Rodgers. Vernon should be no.3

  • @mikemarc92 This list is shit, don't ever make a list ever again.

  • i like that its the No. 12

  • Whats the episode at the right side if the screen at 1:56 - 2:01? (:

  • lololol i can run the 40 in 5.0 secs

  • Tony gonzales would've owned this guy

  • this is also why 49ers are dominating right now in 2nd place in the standings

  • Lol...2:44 I did it...he sounds like Eli Porter

  • Sports science is so fucking gay, the host is the type of kid who doesnt even make a JV. Vernon is a monster but what does running into a still dumby prove? Forreal though

  • I love this show, but sometimes they get downright unrealistic. I understand it's nearly impossible to be totally realistic in these simulations, but the whole "he could drag both Saints cornerbacks" thing is totally ridiculous. They are making that statement with no proof, dragging two dummies with no resistance isn't the same. In real life those corners would be ACTIVELY resisting, and utilizing leverage against him in the opposite way, it's totally different. Very unrealistic exercise.

  • @crx122 you mad, bro?

  • Comment removed

  • @crx122 i weigh the same as one of those dummys and ive dragged two people to pick up a first more than once, its really not that hard when your on the field and have the motivation im sure he couldn't drag them for more than 10 yards though

  • @saavions Oh there is no doubt that he is an incredible athlete, but the test itself proved very little. The show stated that he could "drag both Saints cornerbacks," and did the study in a very unrealistic fashion. My problem is the fact they are stating it as fact, not even making any comment that it isn't an exact test. Seeing how far he can drag two dummies means nothing to how far he could drag two people of equal weight who are incredibly strong themselves, and actively resisting him.

  • JABARI GREER LITTLE BOYYY!!!!

  • Its funny because he never plays this fast, but hes still beast.

  • I'm not saying these guys can't hit, don't get me wrong, NFL players are absolute beastmen, but 1500lbs of force? That seems totally unrealistic. You'd friggin die if you got hit with that much force! Come on now...

  • anyone think that uniform sorta looked like a pats one with some changes?

  • Wow, I'm 16 and I run my 40 yard dash in 4.59, 4.38 with that much weight and height is insane!! No question he could also be a wide receiver.

  • " I DEED IT"

  • @DaTorontoStar 2:44 here you go! :D

  • They can't stop me! Hahah xD that was soooo funny

  • he missed the first pass...u can see they edited it...but i dont know why they would edit that in there in the first place...maybe he ran a better route on the miss..lol

  • all the 40 yard dash times are bullshit they way they measure them leaves so much room for error, if some of the times said were true alot of collegeiate athletes would be faster over 40 than maurice greene who still holds the record for the 50 if i'm not mistaken. so yeah dont get too excited by these blisteringly fast times cause their not

  • The catching thing is not that impressive because you know where the ball is coming through. The Eddie Royal part is crazier cuz i dont think he knew it was coming.

  • how the fuck does that guy have a 4.3 thats fucking crazy!!!

  • crazy genetics + work ethic = freak potential

  • Dude's got the best job in the world.

  • hes a human!!

  • in the other video, it said vernon davis could pull 2 kris jenkins...but he struggles with 360 pounds so i know this is complete shit

  • @Colby1095 a struggle wouldve been him barely moving.. i don't think he can pull 2 kris jenkins either but he didnt struggle here

  • lol why is the dummy white

    

  • theres no other hole where the ball could come through

    

  • @jamal2021 dude adrian peterson you cant lie is faster vernon davis just has a faster acceleration ... vernon davis 100m is 10.4 and adrian peterson 10.33 and chris johnson 10.28 these guys are the fastest in nfl right now. no diss :)

  • @30293952 A certain, minature kick returner has a 10.00 100 meter dash. :)

  • @shiron236 forreal who ?

  • @30293952 your forgetting DeSean Jackson he's super fast 2!!

  • @flydunk23 Yeah But desean only has speed and good hands without that he's useless

  • @30293952 thats bascially what you you need since football is a game of speed dumbfuck

  • @seanman70 Yeah when theres a fast defender what ? shut the fuck up faggot nobody even asked you go suck a chode

  • @30293952 nigga shut the fuck up if ur saying thata vernon davis couldnt be a receiver then ur stupid nigga has 4.3 speed and yea half the corners in the league have 4.4 to 4.5 speed dude u dont no shit about football

  • @seanman70 nigga your fucking dumb you got no facts

    1. i was talking about desean jackson hes only got speed he runs a 4.27

    2. If your dumbass could read and pay attention you would see i never said he couldnt be a receiveer

    2 tips that i gotta give you, 1 learn how to read 2 get your facts straight  3 stop acting all tough and shit nigga you cant even read

  • @30293952 ummm no facts.... does andre johnson have top tier speed... no Larry steve smith anquan boldin gree jennings dont have top tier speed yet they still torch the secondary. And jackson isnt the only wr with speed Devin Hester and Mike Wallace also have top tier speed so shut up and quit trying to start shit. " yeah wat if theres a fast defender" that comment made u look stupid just becuz ur fast doesnt mean ur good idiot goddamn ur retarded

  • @seanman70 your dumb dude

    1 I said d jackson only had speed if theres a fast cornerback hes dogfood,

    2 I NEVER said v davis was slow or that you have to be fast to be a receiver

    3 Your the one that started by calling me dumbfuck so tecnically you started it

    4 And if yu reread everything you the dumbone

    5 but ince im actually smart i apologize for offending you or anybody else on here

  • @30293952 just because theres a fast conerback doesnt mean that he will shut ppl down if you actually play football you should know that theres more to being a corner than speed. pretty sure steve smith from the panthers plays against fast corner such as Dominique Rodgers Cromartie(4.24 40) ad kills him so theres no excuse

  • @seanman70 sincerely dude your dumb i rest my case

  • @30293952 no u just got beat in your arguement dumbass

  • @30293952 dude i beat ur arguement 

  • @seanman70 Your a fucking dumbass i told you that if theres a fast cornerback he cant do nothing and you juust said what isaid stfu u retarded bitch

  • @30293952 dude fast conerbacks get beat all the time by receivers with "average speed" so watch football and shut the fuck up

  • @seanman70 bitch i know more than football then you cause if you had any brains you would know that cornerbacks have to watch the quarterback and whole offense to know what there gonna do then block the receiver dipshit

  • @30293952 your so dumb you say that fast corners can kill a wide receiver if he isnt fast. and now basically your tellin that all this other irrelevant shit. you said fast corners would kill a receiver if he was slow. now whatcu tryin to say that its hard for corners to keep up with receivers cause of those dumb ass reasons.you dont know shit about football. deions blanketed receivers while to the point where he dint have to watch the qb all the time cause they hardly threw it his way dumbfuck
