 Right my friends, welcome back to the latest and greatest edition of the 96th best player in the NFL for the year of 2022. This is a series I've been bringing to the channel for five years. If you're here for the first time, I'd be surprised. If you're here for the last time, well, shut the door on your way out. Actually, you know what, it's, okay, so the version, you know, shut the door on your way out. It's quite a, you know, derogatory term, I don't know if it's derogatory. It's just a term that you'd say to someone, if you really don't give a fuck, all right, if they're going to leave, they don't like what you're doing, well, shut the door on your way out. Well, you know, if you're on that boat, you could at least like the video on your way out. That's the first and last time I'll say that. But what we do have on our hands is a new entrant into the list, number 96, Jimmy Ward. He's a safety for the San Francisco 49ers. And he is, indeed, coming in at number 96 on the top 100 players in 2022. This is a video series I have been looking forward to. I hope you guys have too. You know, I'm not going to make any claims about knowing too much about the game of football, but, you know, each and every year that goes by, I just get that little bit more knowledge. And so hopefully one day, I can actually call myself a real fan. So yeah, really enjoyed this series in previous years, and I'm enjoying this one thus far. But we're back at the 49ers, and let's see what's up with Jimmy Ward. Oh, Jim. Jim's the nader. Me the best in the world. Yes, sir. Me the best. Yes, sir. Don't take nothing left, number one. Jimmy Ward, medalist for first time. He did it. That's well deserved. I love Jimmy. I had the whole team. I mean, he's like a glue guy. Now, I tell you what, something that puts me off, instantly, not puts me off, but sort of throws me off is the fact that safeties can now have single digit numbers. I always saw the safeties as being in the 20s and 30s. I like it. I like the fact that any player can basically be any number now. Or can they? Actually, I don't think that's right, but you guys will tell me in the comments section below. Let's get into it. I like the number. I mean, there's only one number one, right? Whether it's the NFL Top 100 Series or whether it's a squad of 90 football players, there's only one number one. He has that dog that you just can't teach. Jimmy wants to hit people, man. He's physical. You know what I mean? I think that's what you need. Interesting hearing that from an all-star safety in Tyrone Matthew. Don't come out with all that timidness for a time to hit a ****. I don't play games. I won't shy away from anybody. Yeah, that's just my mentality. Nine times out of ten, I'ma hit him. Okay. Oh, imagine sitting there with that kind of confidence. Tell you what, nine times out of ten, I'ma hit him. Well, what happens on that one time out of ten, mate? What do they do? Oh, definitely hit him in that respect. Oh, two of my favorite players just got taken down. Jamar Chase and an old, you know, third down machine, Hunter Renfro. Yeah, he, okay. All right. Okay. All right. Yeah, this has been a few hits, man. Hit after hit after hit. Seeking missile. Athletically gifted as any free safety in the league. Athletically gifted as any free safety in the league. Well, with that in mind, let's look at some stats. Okay, so he's been in the league for a few years. He's been a 49er the whole entire time, which I really enjoy. July 18th, 1991. He's 31 years of age, 5 foot 11, 195 pounds. Played college football at Northern Illinois from 2010 to 2013. Got picked up in the first round with one of the last picks, picked number 30 in the 2014 draft. He's been at the 49ers ever since. He's never made a pro bowl. But he does have a total of 372 tackles, three sacks, 36 pass deflections, which we've seen a fair few of there, four interceptions, four force fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and two touchdowns. Will we call them pick sixes? I'm assuming we will, unless it was a fumble, which he jumped on. He went 447 at the 40 yard dash, 424 in the 20 yard shuttle, 689 in the three cone drill, 38 inches in the vertical, which is elite, 10 foot five in the broad jump, which is getting there, bench press of nine reps, and a wonderlick of 17. Alright, let's continue. Oh! Oh, I tell you what, that doesn't happen often. I don't see that happening often. Sorry about that. We've got to start that over. I forgot, I got like 30 of my arms. Really? Hang on. Alright, so if someone says they've got 30 alarms, and I don't mean to stop this video, but that means they're onto it. That means they've got basically their entire diary in their phone, which, you know, being that technology is the way of the world at the moment, that's the way to do it. I'm wondering what that alarm was. When the 49ers defense sounds the alarm, it's often free safety Jimmy Ward, who answers. In this division, we call it the Wild Wild West. We've got some great DBs in this division. This ball's intercepted by Jimmy Ward. I remember that. I remember that exact play. And it is dropped, it is intercepted by Jimmy. Oh, and that was one of his return touchdowns. Jimmy Ward in the perfect spot. There's a lot of physical safeties out there, and I think he's probably the top of the list. It's stuff that you beg for in a football player, and it's him, it's his natural makeup. He don't try to do it, it's just him. What a play, and one that they absolutely needed. Tell you what. Wait! Well, what's up, bro? You're looking right in my eyes right now. Look, if a guy like Trent Williams can give, you know, a guy like Jimmy Ward a glow-up like that, I really, you sort of, you have to believe him, because, you know, Trent Williams has been in the league for 10 years. He is probably my favourite offensive lineman, and he knows a player when he sees it, and he's also just been made the first offensive lineman ever with a 99 Madden rating. If that's wrong, tell me in the comment section below. I'm pretty sure that's right. But that was cool, that was cool. The hard thing is, guys, is the hard, you know, the hard thing is, is when you don't follow a specific team, like closely, and you sort of try and spread yourself across the entire league. It makes it hard, it does, but I do my best, and that's all I'm trying to do, guys, so hopefully you've enjoyed it, and like I always say, support the channel down in the description box below, and I'll see you in the next one. Peace.
