Thank you so much guys Enjoy the video Right guys, how are we and what is going on? My name is Jacob, and I'm a rugby player I'm a huge fan of American football and with that in mind There's a guy that's been on my newsfeed for For so long But I haven't I've just decided to put it off put it off put it off until now, okay? His name is Teran Beckham. He is what I'm led to believe an ex-pro football player taking on the game of rugby and Actually playing now. I've got two Two videos saved okay this one he's you know I wish I I wish I had have been following the journey from the start There's too many videos to watch now There are two that we're going to do today one titled my first rugby match pre-game talk and training and the next ones actually his highlights from the game So before we get into this I'm going to look him up. I'm going to get some stats I'm going to get the story and then we're going to have a look and I've been looking forward to this man A lot of you guys have recommended him. I've been putting it off putting it off, but today's the day so let's go Odell Beckham Jr.'s cousin Really? What's his name? Yeah, Teran Beckham. Okay. He doesn't have a Wikipedia. I'm 2016 Teran Beckham hasn't played football for five years Teran Beckham fell through the cracks of the collegiate recruiting process as a three-sport athlete the running back didn't concentrate purely on football and remained Ignorant to the entire approach It hurt my progress as far as being seen by scouts and getting better looks by colleges But it allowed me to grow more as a player especially as a running back Because I never served as a I'm happy. I've got a chance to see what I can do my first full season I played almost every down in every game. Honestly, I wouldn't change anything even though I lost connections With what could have been okay, so that's where he transferred out of Dallas in high school to Maryland in his final high school season in his final high school season the senior ran for more than 1300 yards and scored 17 touchdowns yet. He drew little interest from college. Okay, this is back in 2016 How old is he? Teran Beckham Wikipedia, how does he not have a Wikipedia? What the fuck? What do we got here? He's a model a Fitness model who shares the skills and influences many from a social media and YouTube platform. Okay, so he's a youtuber effectively But an absolute beast born on the 28th of July 1992 Well, all right then let's see what he's made of When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a hero Sometimes things don't always turn out the way Reading ladies and gentlemen, I just honestly he does actually he does kind of look like oh, yeah, it doesn't he wonder What position he's playing? Tell me he's in the back line, please This guy's a running back coming into the game of rugby Keep that in mind To play rugby Never thought honestly that I would play you know just me coming from you know down sexist football guy You know my goals always, you know NFL now There's one thing that comes to mind when I'm when I I think of anybody doesn't matter if you're an ex football player Basketball player you could be an ex tiddly winker To understand the intricacies of the game of rugby especially around the rock It's hard for even me as a full as a you know lifetime rugby fan to understand So I'm very interested to see, you know, how like how he how he does really overall, so let's listen never was thinking outside of the box and this opportunity that came to me is Once again, it's an emotional experience I'm talking about first game in two days. We leave tomorrow to New Orleans We play no la on the game will not be televised on anything. I think it's just like it's who's he playing for or something So hopefully I can get some game field. He's playing for an MLR team. He's playing no Right for myself. Maybe I could just kind of like analyze Myself for the video, but I don't think I'll have like full-on games feel So that being said, I'll try my best to get what I can for you guys To to show you pretty much my gameplay So I've been training basically for two weeks and a little bit over two weeks now two weeks It's still trying to learn I've actually been hopped around now. Now this video came out two weeks ago So he's been training for four weeks effectively a few positions Not really few just like center center and wing. No, I Know I would be playing wing wing coach pretty much I'm confident honestly, I'm actually confident just run the fucking ball man I'm confident in my passing. It's actually the all the passing. See, I didn't even think about that now Let's hit let's see what a football player thinks about passing a spiral pass with a rugby ball The fact that when I get the ball is more so of what do I do? Just run but it's like I'm looking for a run and attack and maybe pass up somebody else or should I just run try to bulldoze through We'll do what I can but this is interesting guys very very interesting thoughts that we just don't have as you know Lifetime rugby players But then again put me on a football field and be looking for blocks rather than just running on your own That's totally different, you know So I understand this guy's pain Score the try and if I don't get tackled I'll get down trying to get the team back football So it's just a lot of things going in my mind and it's like I'm slightly scared. Why would I say scared? I'll say nervous because It's definitely got the body for it in a long time Colorado very very long time since I've been in a competitive look at him. He's huge, you know to be at a professional level, you know finally it's 230 pounds I'm gonna say especially for a new the totally new sports not like professional level while playing a sport what I know about it's it's a totally new sport. So it's just like Just the rules itself is very overwhelming On things that you can do in rugby and I'm just trying to grasp as much as possible So that you know, I can become better so I can help out my team I don't I don't want to just be a person that just gets the ball and run I want to know the game so I can help my team in Situations so I can understand what you understand the game better. You're able to do things outside of the box Then just your position and that's the goal I have for myself You know, I definitely do need to study more I've been watching hella games, hella film, hella highlights, hella players and watching hella people but I need to narrow it down to actually opening up my book more and Writing down stuff for memory purposes out of for just the rules the laws of the game and how to play it Properly fundamentals would be key for me to do better in these new sport of mine So I mean that man his coaches are going to be huge in his development But I mean he's in a professional environment, so you can't get better than that Dude, you guys are really showing so much support. I really appreciate everything You guys are commenting about doing and once again Don't take it personal or like get on me too hard about Prognunciation or things that I say often to defense stuff once again, I'm American rugby is not much of American sport yet And you know, I grew up playing football So those warnings and understandings are still implemented in my brain therefore, it's it helps me better understand certain situations or Or just just terminology. So as time goes on once again, I want to know it's for two weeks So, you know saying, you know attack instead of I mean offense instead of attack or defense instead of the bin You know, there's simple simple things simple changes that will how can anyone hate on them for that? Get a life guys, or even sorry to complain about me saying practice instead of training As a lifetime rugby player and fan from New Zealand the home of the all blacks I've said rugby practice many many times and rugby training many many times rugby training rugby practice Honestly, it's a flip of a fucking coin guys What are you doing? Anyway, this video's got 1.9,000 likes and six dislikes So we can't be doing too bad But it's those one or two comments, you know what I mean? Especially I can understand having gone into the world of American football tried to play, you know what I mean? And obviously Set a few things wrong or just felt scared felt nervous about playing about entering this new sport That those one or two negative comments do tend to stick in your mind. So I just hope that that Actually inspires him to keep going Two weeks bro The spirals other people football players coming in saying it's not it's not practice, bro It's training, you know, it's not off it. It's attack. Please don't say offense. You're upending me I Yeah, laugh it off I've been a youtuber for a while and you guys that have been here since the beginning have seen me in my highest and You for the last two to almost three years have pretty much seen a stagnant, you know position in my my youtube channel And it's pretty much bad and it's lowest For the last couple of years so to actually see growth and consistency with these videos is really Motivating, you know, it's motivating for me. I'm actually getting a little bit more fun, of course That's me serious, you know, YouTube does bring me fun So the more views and stuff that I get and likes and comments on the more reach that I get I'm actually getting subscribers again. I was at a to I was at 356,000 subscribers for over a year. Holy shit number not above or below 356,000 subscribers Wow, just stayed there for almost like like pretty much a year that is testing my subscriber number did not change mentally Um, that's pretty it's pretty frustrating for a youtuber to come to that point and still continue to Want to put out content as best as possible And you know, just just do the best I can but this new journey of mine Which you guys have wanted to see is something that you know has really helped my channel out so thank you for that and you know more videos to come from rugby from You know watching other people's highlights react into them to my personal practices and gameplay and stuff and just talk about it You know, I want to Boost this sport that gave me that has given me a chance on a professional level Yeah, I wanted to say that as well like obviously Americans probably respect this guy Respect his opinion being that he's been involved in football and if he likes the game of rugby If he genuinely enjoys it, it's only gonna be good for the game. So respect Because Period I don't know what they get much paid and I'm pretty sure that they get paid more outside of America But since football is the dominant sport in America, the rugby players really don't get paid much much at all And I'll make a video about that and the situation so people are asking how much you make and all that stuff and I just keep playing simple. It's not much like I do better off on My own It's a digital income that is the positive Excuse me. I'm sorry. I have the epic bar. I mean, it's a it's that's the positive of the situation is still a digital income It's more than what I was made you ate a what an epic bar is that is that a sponsorship, bro? Oh shit. Okay, so we've got we've got This is basically as Wikipedia in his words a Fitness and gaming influence born and raised in Dallas. My goal is to bring together a healthy and positive community where despite our differences We have a goal to beast out in the gym and live our lives happily.
