 Hey what's up guys, it's Jacob here, welcome back to another reaction video. I'm giving my opinion as a rugby player on the 11th best player in the NFL for the year of 2019-2020. His name's Julio Jones although the first time I read it, I didn't know that. In fact I called him Julio Jones with utmost confidence. There's no way in hell I looked at that name thinking that was a silent J. And just before we get into this, in fact it's probably going to be part of the intro on every single Julio Jones video I do. We're going to go back to that very moment. I believe it was the top 10 fastest NFL players in the league as a highlight video which I found on YouTube, gave my reaction to. And it was the first time I'd ever laid eyes on Julio Jones. So let's have a quick look at that before we begin. We've got the Julio Jones video there but we will go look at all these. Rugby player reacts two. Top 10 fastest players. There she goes. Two years ago guys. Rugby player reacts to the 2017 NFL top 10 fastest players YouTube video. Good times. Let's go. What is going on? It's Jacob here. We are about to watch the top 10 fastest players in the NFL 2017. Who is that guy? That was two and a half years ago. Just over two and a half years ago man. And I'm still here. We're all still here. It's fucking unbelievable. All right. Let's find. Oh we've got Tyler Lockett. Oh we've got T.Y. Ted Gin Jr. We've got T.Y. Hilton. We've got Tyler Lockett who I do know. We've got Julio Jones. There he is. Let's go. Look at the defense. Look at the blocker sorry. Nice. Nice. Julio Jones. These things that I said just then are going through my head at the exact same time that I said them like literally when we get another shot when we see another run from Hulio I'm like yes we get another one. When I saw him stride out just then I thought fuck his strides are very long and then I went and said it. It's like I am the same guy. I am. I haven't changed. GO FUN! That is some impressive speed. It's not called a try it's called a touchdown but let's go back. That was fun. Julio Jones. Not quite. He's got my respect no doubt. Do you have any receivers that you watched? I mean definitely best in the game. Definitely Hulio. Who's your favorite wide receiver to watch? I watch a lot of Hulio. He's a beast. Man that dude's a dog. He's just a true dog. He's like a real life alien almost. Man he looks like a freak. He brings the ass from a smaller beat. Even his eyes bro his eyes he's got eyes like no one else in the league and he is he is a beast. It's just absolutely insane here. One of the stuff he's able to do is just it's a mommy daddy thing. God give him ability. He got no food on his plate. He knows how to separate his job from his life and that's something I've always respected about him. Definitely by example. Yeah I must say we hear absolutely nothing of Hulio Jones' personal life which I will say the best of the all blacks rugby players it's exactly the same. It's a complete and utter separation from their professional sporting life and their personal life and I think that is healthy. That's Hulio Jones you come and work every day so how am I going to come and put my best before it every day. And not only that you see it as your job. You know you are being judged every single day. You know there's young guys coming up every single day that want to take your food off of your family's plate and that's the attitude you've got to have. Now rugby players are competing for you know the best of the best rugby players might be competing for a million dollars per year whereas these guys are competing for what 20 million a year. It's a bit different. It's a bit different but the fact remains the same. You know the guys at the top of their game the guys who are the legends really really well respected and you know who've been in the league who are veterans who've lasted in the league not been in the league actually lasted in the league because it's not it's not easy to stay in the NFL is it. It's not easy especially not as a skilled position. Let's continue. Last year only one of the top 17 leading receivers entered the season over the age of 30 Hulio Jones. Only one look at that 2019 NFL receiving yards leaders. Which ones have we seen so far? We haven't okay we haven't seen Michael Thomas. We've seen Hulio now. Chris Godwin I think we've seen him. Travis Kelsey we've seen him. Kenan we've seen him. Amari Cooper yes. Jarvis DeAndre Hopkins no. Cooper Cup yes. Mike Evans yes. Darren Waller he was one of the first guys actually. Stefan Diggs there's a couple there we haven't seen I'm not sure that they're going to be on the top 10 but what a list. What a list. Look at the smile on the guy. In a second only to Michael Thomas. Mike Thomas uh Mike Evans. It's a tall sub man uh me. Chris Godwin and Michael Thomas. Hulio's always in there too. Hulio's always in there too. Hulio just set the falcons playing ties with Seaman record. On a 15 yard touchdown yet. He the best. He the best hand down. Best of Seaman in the game. Nobody mess with Hulio. Let's check him out. Okay bam bam. Okay fuck I love Darius Slade. That's gonna take the shot for Hulio. Over the shoulder catch five girls. This round running. Look I don't even care if he got caught on. I love Darius Slade and I love his his. I hope he has no off field antics that are going to ruin my opinion of him. But as far as Darius Slade as far as his attitude in this series. You know nothing beats it. He's always got a smile on his face. And he's always amped for everyone else having success. I absolutely love it. This gives him a bigger advantage. Have this opponents. A lot of guys are great rubber runners. But it's a difference when you see Hulio because you feel him. I'm like okay he's climbing on me. Hulio's climbing on me. Dog man. Hulio does a great job on the route. He gets on top. I'm gonna tell you what it takes a big man. To genuinely be happy for another man. That is having more success than him. It takes a big person to genuinely feel that. You can say you feel that but do you genuinely feel that. Are you genuinely happy with what you're doing. And where you are in life enough. Content enough. And happy enough. And at peace enough. To genuinely try and lift someone else up. That's doing better than you. Then try and bring them down to your level. Now that is a good question. Think about that. We have a big big problem with that in New Zealand. It's called toll puppy syndrome. Every defense that goes against him knows that they have to know where he is on the field. Because at any moment he can go off and make a big play. In 2019, number 11 became the fastest player in NFL history to reach 11,000 yards receiving. Best received steal. And you have to go. Yeah. He messed with you yet. Not yet. And the thing about it is he's not here in the battle but he knows me the best. He's the best I ever seen. I'm serious. I know we just did that. I want to hear him talk. Oh my god. What have we got here? We've got the king. It's Derek Henry. I'm not going to say anymore actually. I want to get into this. I've got to shut this thing off. Julio Jones, do we look at his stats? Do we look at his stats? Why not? I want to know how long he's been in the league. For some reason I reckon it's about 12 years. He's got 11,000 yards now. He's been in the league since 2011. He's made seven pro bowls. Two time NFL receiving yards leader. Two first team all pro selections. Three second team all pro selections. He now has not only 11,000 receiving yards but almost 13,000. He's got 12,896 receiving yards in the regular season plus 834 receiving yards for the post season. So this guy, this guy is not done by any length of the imagination. In fact, I reckon at this point, Julio has just passed the halfway point of his career. I reckon he's going to be around until he's at least 37, 38. He's six foot three, he's 100kg. He's a Falcons player and he most likely will be for the rest of his career. If he is, I'm happy for him. If he does get traded away, well that's just the way it works. What was his last deal that he signed? September 7th, 2019 he signed a three year 66 million dollar extension making him the highest paid wide receiver in the league. Okay, so he's staying. In the next one guys, we've got Derek Henry. Need I say more? Probably not. He is the most devastating running back at the moment. People just don't know how to deal with him. He is that big, that much bigger than most running backs that people just do not know what to do. He's a mid four fives, 40 yard dash, but he's six foot three and a half and 250 pounds. And when I think about a running dynamic, just steamrolling running back, or what could have been a steamrolling running back, I think of Jonah Lamu. I really do. As far as Derek Henry is, you know, Jonah Lamu was the hybrid of Derek Henry and DK Metcalf. And when you think about that, just imagine what type of player he was. You know what I mean? He was my hero. And I know that Derek Henry is going to be a hero to a lot of guys coming up. And I also know that any wide receivers coming up, Julio Jones will be your hero. So that's what these guys are. They're heroes. They're absolute heroes. You know what I mean? Sporting, sporting heroes. And with that in mind, they do have a massive responsibility to be good people, to use their platform for good. And I suppose, and I suppose I tend to think the same kind of things for myself and my platform. As long as you're using it for good, to make change, positive change, it's all worth it. And with that being said, that's the end of this video. If you've enjoyed it, if you're a Julio fan, please hit that like button. If you're excited that we're in the top 10, definitely hit that like button. And to be honest guys, even in the top 20, I've seen some view counts on some of these videos, probably the lesser known guys, or the less spectacular guys, of under 300,000, under 250,000. Derek Henry has almost a million views on his video. A million views. That's saying something. Guys, thanks for watching. I'll see you in the next one. Have a great night. Peace out.
