Never knew about any of this before this show, new found respect for him as a player and person. I agree with the Blind Side esc film being made for this, it would be great!
Greatest linebacker of all time... on top of that he is a great person. I hope to god he gets a superbowl ring. Ray Lewis got one its time for big #52!
Patrick Willis was born with a heart of gold. 'Bless this guy. Mr. Willis, I'd love to see you finish the post-season with a Superbowl ring. Go niners, and go #52!
This is when Child Labor needs to take action. Not some dumb teen that thinks that he's getting abused by his parents when he's being rude to his parents when his parents provides him with his daily needs. Patrick had to earn his daily needs by working, and having an unreliable father. Props to Patrick.
How does the Tim Tebow special: "the chosen one" have more than 150,000 views and this only 35000? Its just total fucking bullshit by the media. Willis is an all pro middle linebacker and Tebow is a below-average qb.
@kevo7777 tebow is below a below average QB. On top of that he has lived the coddled life in a safe home schooled setting. It's sad that he should overshadow Willis.... The upside? Tebow got promptly eliminated and now Willis and my niners are on route the superbowl. Redemption at it's finest not just for #52 but the whole 49er team. Not to mention he will go down in the hall of fame, barring great injustices.
im a raiders fan but am proud to say i have a patrick willis autographed picture in my living room. i respect him to the fullest and even tho ill never be a niners fan ill still root for this guy and his team.
I've been a life long niner fan, but this is the first time I've ever seen this. Patrick Willis is a special type of man. I'm proud that we have a man and a player with such great character
When the 49ers drafted him, I knew they had someone very special. P-Dub has the strength of character that has grown from dealing with adversity. He is a leader of men and the Ronnie Lott of the new 49er era.
@NAM2326 - I like your idea. That would be a great movie, very inspirational. The entire 49er D hits hard, so does the O & Special T's. Patrick has an attitude towards life and football that is refreshing. I'm so glad he's on the 49ers!!!
My thoughts on Patrick Willis have sky rocketed and he was one of my favorite players before I saw this. Good for him for standing up to his punk ass dad and bettering his family's lives. The fact he had to overcome all that abuse and was still willing to help his dad out shows how good of a guy he is.
Was at Ole miss when patrick willis was there. He is real. Nothing is fake. He is a genuinely good guy. Stood in line with him waiting on crawfish and saw alumni trying to offer him money. He would not take it. Great guy and happy for him.
This didn't even mention the heartbreak he went through a few years ago when one of his younger brothers drowned when swimming with friends. His brother was being highly recruited by Ole Miss also. So sad...but Patrick keeps pushing onward.
there are professional athletes that I get annoyed at for having so much money when they are just jackasses. I.E gilbert arenas. then you look at someone like willis, and I couldn't be happier that he's a rich SOB.
mark 8:36....what does it profit a man to gain the world and lose HIS SOUL......if you died today is your soul lost?.......you can be saved Right Now.....romans 10:9-10:13......invite Jesus into your heart now and you'll have an Eternal home in heaven! !!!!!
@IWillStompYouOut patriots aint even that good and the colts havnt even won a game so yea there 2 games most liky we would of won....n if we do those those 2 games is goin be a good ass game
This is a wonderful story. But there are untold stories like this, everyday. Please don't think you have to be a pro sports figure, or on the news, or have your very own youtube video to have accomplished something great. There is greatness in every mother and father taking care of their family. There is a wonderful story behind the school teacher that you remember growing up with that helped make you who you are today. Just because there isn't a parade in your honor...... be great today!
@ndc18 Well in the penisula there are some of the best public schools in the country. Also it's the silicon valley so it's naturally one of the wealthiest areas in the world. Also the weather is literally 70 degrees year round. I grew up without knowing what seasons were.
not only is he my favorite football player he's one of my favorite athletes right under Kobe Bryant.. He's gonna be a legend..God bless that mans soul..
Sure glad hes playing for the Niners. Guys like that which have been through a lot of negativity and still stayed positive are always great on the field and in the locker room as far as leadership.
I made a youtube account just to comment on this and say what an incredible person Patrick Willis is. I hope they make a film about him like blind side. He has inspired me and has been my favourite NFL player sense I found out about him. He is just remarkable. Greatest NFL Player, MVP, Just the best. P.W. 52 The Great.
Wow, truly amazing. Patrick Willis is my role model now and I'm so inspired by his story. By far my favorite player ever and will always be, I'll never forget your story and your place on the niners.
Great person, great triumph. May GOD bless the Willis family. I jumped up and down when he was drafted, and still have that same feeling everytime I watch him play. GO NINERS!!!
God bless you Patrick.
