I am your host, Jacob McDonald, and it's my absolute pleasure to bring you a man by the name of Stefan Gilmore. I will be reacting to him as a rugby player. And look, if anyone was wondering, have I played professional rugby? No. Am I a rugby expert? Probably not. Did I play rugby for 20 odd years? Yeah, yeah, I did. Did I play rugby last year? I did indeed. Am I playing rugby this year? No, no, I'm not. But I am reacting to the NFL's Top 100 Players of 2021. So guys, I hope that has answered a few questions. And what I also hope is that if you enjoy the video, you hit the like button. But apart from that, guys, all you've got to do is sit back, relax and enjoy. So we're going to roll the intro and crack into the video. And look, if I can just bring your attention to the screen here, we've got a Patriots fellow player, but on the opposite side of the ball. We've seen him a fair few times on this list already. And this is his opportunity to talk up his fellow teammate in the NFL, Stefan Gilmore. Let's have a look. Debye's probably talked the most trash in the NFL. You weak. Well, you got that weak ass face, man. Yeah, you badly going to need to. Well, I know that one does. But Steph is the opposite. Steph will shut you down and won't say a word about it. Isn't that awesome? Guys, let's let's just imagine that for a second. You get absolutely dominated on a play, but the guy who dominates you just gets up, brushes it off and goes and lines up for the next play. How would that make you feel? I think you'd end up actually being quite fond of the man. And that is exactly what's happened to me. He's a silent assassin. Silent assassin. I've maybe heard ten words from the guy since I've been here. That's insane. I mean, I know you're not practicing together. You're not in the same position and you're probably not attending too many practices together. But to hear that really does hammer at home that this man goes about his business. He don't need to tell anyone about it. He is the epitome of letting your actions do the talking. His name is Stefan Gilmore, and let's check him out. Stefan Gilmore. He's probably top three, top two corner in the league. Just based off of tape. Watching his ability to move left to right. He can recover well. He got good ball skills. Intercepted by Gilmore. He plays in the great system as well. Well coached. That's it, Steph. And he can step. High shot. That's the way to step up. High shot, Steph. That's it, man. You can tell that he's super well coached, super disciplined, and it's taken him good luck. Gilmore is a ballbarker. Comes up with monster plays. Takes away one side of the field most of the time you're going to see. He's always got eyes. Look at that. He's guarding man to man, but he's watching the quarterback. That is a hard thing to do. He's got a lot of things that when you cut on the film and watch him, you can take a lot from it and put it to your own game. He's patient at the line. He's feet. He's got really good feet. He throws sideline and that is intercepted. Intended for Kenan Allen, sailed it over his head. I was talking to him at the Pro Bowl Lack. I'll tell you what, guys, if I was a cornerback in the league, there's one man that I wouldn't want to be standing in front of. And that is Kenan Allen. So if Steph on Gilmore can shut down Mr. Wiggle Kenan Allen, he's doing a damn good job. Last year, he's really a guy that studies a game real well. How's this receiver lined up and split? He's got good hips that come in and out of brakes. Wings it to the right and that pass dangerously is incomplete. That's coverage. Damn it. As a receiver's running a route, he starts eliminating what routes they can run throughout the route. You know, if he goes past 10 yards, you know, it's only certain routes you can do there. So he's already kind of probability eliminating. That's awesome, man. I'm not going to try and break down what he's just said, but I do understand it. The ability to reduce the available route options in any particular play, which is split second stuff. Different routes a thing that a guy can run. Being complete. Gilmore was all. He wants to play. He wants to play press coverage all the time. He's the real physical guy. As a competitor, you respect that. I don't just respect that. I love that. That right there is special. And then it's completely up to the oh, shit. What do we got here? We've got Stefan Gilmore going about his business. He's going to punch this ball out like Iron Mike Tyson. Then he's going to stand up, brush himself off, and not say a word. That punch technique, you see how he gets his hand right on the ball on the top? He is determined to go out there and completely eliminate anybody and anything that lines up in front of him. He's one of those guys that nobody even tries. Nobody even throws at him. His mentality never changes. His persona never changes. He never lets anybody get him out of his zone. And when he's in his zone, there's nothing like it. Are we going to hit? Please. Oh, we've got one second to go. We're not going to hear from Stefan Gilmore. Come on. You make me wait 53 spots to see this man, and you can't even give me a snippet of his voice unless it's in this final second. And it's not. So what we're going to do is we're going to look up his stats. He's 30 years of age. He's 6'1", 200 pounds. First round of the 2012 draft. He went to South Carolina, played at the Bills for five years, then went to the Patriots, and he's been there ever since. He is a Super Bowl champion, but only one. Super Bowl 53 against the Rams in 2018. I actually remember watching that. That was the first Super Bowl I ever watched, and he did his job because it was a very low scoring game. He runs a 40 yard dash and 4'4", that's fucking quick. A three cone drill in 6.61 seconds, a 20 yard shuttle in 3.94. And I've got to be honest guys, I've been looking at stats all throughout the series so far. I've never seen a 20 yard shuttle in under four seconds ever. And I'll tell you what, a three cone drill, of anything under 6.8 seconds, is absolutely flying. And he did it in 6.61. In fact, that has got to be up there with the best of the best ever. So no wonder he can shut these guys down. He's got hops, he's got a 36 inch vertical jump, a 10 foot 3 broad jump, 15 reps on the bench, which means when he's coming up against these wide receivers and he gives them that push, that shove, I mean he's strong. He is strong, and he lets them know about it. On March 9th, 2017, he signed a five year, 65 million dollar contract, which brings him to the end of this season. 124 total games, he's an absolute veteran of the league. And look, he has actually come to think of it, one of my favorite players. And for me to say that one of my favorite players is on the defensive side of the ball, that means something.
