his fellow wide receiver adam tealon let's have a look you mean so so his general play didn't improve but his gritty did uh what's a gritty well as far as i'm concerned gritty is an american power retailer that formerly sold energy to people in the state of texas but as far as adam tealins gritty uh okay here we go he must have he must have pulled it out in a game and then next minute he's on the pat mackefy show uh discussing it and uh apparently his effort on the field wasn't that good but in practice he's unbelievable um the gritty is a dance move that jefferson helped make popular while attending lsu and winning a national championship in 2019 so he's taken it from his teammate rookie wide receiver justin jefferson what is the gritty well i've seen i've seen that i actually quite like that that as a that as a touchdown celebration no taunting involved make of it what you will but it's funny what does the gritty dance mean to get gritty okay it's a fortnight it's a fortnight move the get gritty fortnight act out is a crossing act out which means players will actually want to move very much like justin jefferson when he's cruising into the end zone while jefferson doesn't while jefferson didn't concoct the dance he subsequently made it as famous as he did his own during lsu's title season in 2019 gritty dance fortnight okay you can you can get the gritty dance on fortnight uh belongs to chapter two season six no idea what that means the gesture can be purchased in the fortnight item shop for 500 v bucks is that a good deal i'm not sure tealon seems to think so he's very crafty of a receiver and honestly he stressed me out you know everybody can do that having a good release having a good stim have a good body movement and body control and being able to catch the ball too but he's able to do all at once and that makes a great wide receiver right release speed agility great body control and the ability to go out and catch it hey play fast that's all that matters have fun doing you wouldn't be nervous we've been doing this since we were kids in 2020 adam feyland caught 14 touchdowns only davante adams and tyree kill caught more it's another touchdown for adam feyland now adam tealon is always going to be a wide receiver that i remember due to the fact he didn't have the easiest path to the nfl did he he went undrafted he went to minnesota state man kato university his receiving yards went from 225 in his first year to 1176 in his final year he played four seasons of college football 46 games 2800 and two receiving yards 20 receiving touchdowns or 49 for the 40-yard dash a three cone drill of 677 which is ridiculously fast 36 inches on the vertical 10 foot in the broad jump and he went undrafted did not receive an invitation to perform at the 2013 combine but he did attend a regional combine in chicago where he performed well enough to warrant an invitation to the super regional combine held in delis there he showcased his athletic ability completing the 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds and impressing in the three cone drill with a time of 677 a mark that would have placed him in the top 20 at the nfl combine he went undrafted attended a rookie trier in a valuation session with the minnesota vikings on may 6th 2013 they signed him to a three-year 1.48 million dollar contract four months later they waived him as part of their final roster cuts but was signed to the practice squad the next day he saw some pre-season action as a wide receiver and on special teams next year in the pre-season opener he had one catch for 15 yards and three punt returns including one 26 yard return after a strong pre-season performance in both offense and special teams he earned a spot on the 53 man roster to start the 2014 campaign made his nfl debut in the season opener in a road game against the rams on september 9 in week five he called his first nfl pass finishing the game with four receptions 57 yards that led the team in receiving he was named nfc special teams player of the week in week 13 and scored his first nfl touchdown on a special teams play in which he blocked carolina panthers in which he blocked carolina panthers punter brad nortman's kick and returned the ball 30 yards to the end zone okay carolina punthers and that was all in his first two seasons he's come into his own his first pro bowl appearance was in 2017 he did it again in 2018 but hasn't made it since look he is a definite top 100 player he's one of my favorite wide receivers to watch and uh let's continue the red zone what's the elin's playground all but one of his 14 touchdowns came in the rest look at that runs backwards into the end zone i reckon i've seen that before i reckon i've seen this exact move it's in sync look guys we've had the pleasure of watching the 2020 tokyo olympics recently and there's one sport that this very move reminded me of and that's synchronized diving so i think what really makes him great is the catches that he makes when someone is on him i can just we saw mark he's god wouldn't do that remember watching adam feeling it seems almost like every other week you know someone's tight coverage on him and he's still able to make like a ridiculous catch oh another one-handed catch Kenny that was a great catch uh with with contact and and difficulty difficulty level is definitely a nine out of ten it was only a nine out of ten i'm a difficulty nine out of ten nine out of ten i i seen some difficult ones that i'll give you're gonna tell them that i'm telling that right now when i go in there adam feeling come off i'm gonna tell you that now don't you love it i certainly do um look they teased us with that video the first guy we saw was dk metcalf we had to wait a whole two and a half minutes to see him again what number will he be on the list only time will tell will he be in the top 20 i wouldn't be surprised i would not be surprised but if you were to think of him as a star wide receiver for the seahawks and you think there's got to be at least one star wide receiver on each and every team that's 32 players so it ain't easy doesn't matter what position you are doesn't matter what team you play for it ain't easy to squeeze on this list and i tell you what these these top 100 guys should be very very proud if nothing else anyways that's enough of that other video complete uh here we are a fifth through the list we're at number 79 number 79 terran armstead left tackle for the saints thanks guys it's been a pleasure and i'll see you in the next one peace out
