 hey what is going on guys welcome back welcome back to another video and welcome to rugby player reacts to the NFL's top 100 players of 2023 this video is indeed the final piece of the puzzle for me at least and uh what what what this video also marks is the beginning of the top 100 series being published on the channel so for anyone who has come on as a member so far i want to say thank you so much um you know as little as two dollars a month you've had access to all of those videos that i've put out so far and basically over the last four weeks i've just had one mission in mind and that is to create this series and it takes it takes a good month it does four weeks and uh you know the first couple of weeks first 10 days first first 10 or 11 days were spent shooting the videos and then over the last three or so weeks i've been editing them pretty much as fast as i can i couldn't have gone any faster if i tried so um at the current moment i have edited all the way down to number 20 those extra 20 videos i'll edit in good time but basically my plan guys from here on out is to publish the videos two per day for the next 50 days and for anyone interested for anyone who's been here over the years for anyone who's coming back i want to say just huge amount of thanks um and i also want to pat myself on the back you know because i'm i'm proud i'm proud of the the product that i've created and i really hope that whoever's watching can look past the extreme level of talking that uh in some videos kind of got the best of me i'll go down rabbit holes and i won't stop until i'm finished so look for those of you who do watch every single one what the hell is wrong with you no i'm just joking thank you thank you one and all it's been a pleasure it's been really rewarding to do this again i always enjoy it i always come into the the top 100 series having not looked at anything to do with football over the off season and i kind of do it on purpose i'm not going to lie i kind of do it on purpose looking forward to when the series drops in and this year i got on to the series as fast as i could so the final piece of the puzzle as i mentioned at the start is i'm gonna say i'm gonna say four players four players that i am just absolutely disgusted at the fact that they didn't make the list i'm not gonna lie four players that i thought wholeheartedly i thought any like any day of the week they're gonna make the list but unfortunately for the year of 2023 they did not the first the first player that came to mind that i was looking for as we went down the list that was involved actually in the interviewing process he gave a few pieces of information about other players are the running backs especially the first player on my list of players that i can't believe didn't make the list is jonathan taylor and i mean regardless of whether you've seen him play all you've got to do is look at his high school and college football statistics and you kind of you kind of start to paint a picture he's been in the league for three years in his second season so this 2023 list covers the 2022 season the season prior 2021 jonathan taylor jonathan taylor was first team all-pro pro bowler nfl rushing yards leader nfl rushing touchdowns leader and won the Burt bell award which i'm assuming is for the player of the year presented by the maxwell football club okay so look 2021 he was absolutely balling and we expected it right but for whatever reason and you know people who ball out like that have a fantastic like breakout year the next year that they're on the the next year that they played really doesn't matter what the fuck they do their peers have gained that much respect for them over that previous season that they include them on the list anyway but for whatever reason jonathan taylor was left out and i can't believe it because it's not as if it's not as if he he had a terrible year he only played 11 games but like i said he garnered that much respect from the year prior i thought i thought look 11 games doesn't really matter how many yards he gets although he still did get 861 i thought he's he's a i thought he was a lock to get on that list but apparently not so he played 11 games 192 rushing attempts for 861 yards bringing his total rushing yards through three seasons to 3841 he got four rushing touchdowns last year bringing his career total to 33 so look his production was down of course 23 28 receptions for 143 yards so all-purpose yards he did eclipse a thousand but look at the end of the day i just thought that there's there's just no way he can't make the list but apparently not so that was i'm gonna i'm gonna say if i was jonathan taylor i'd feel kind of i'd feel kind of let down i'd have a bit of a chip on my shoulder coming into this next season but that was player number one player number two is an obvious way tom brady where the hell was tom brady on this list it was his final season he went from being i think he was i think he was was he number one last year by the way before we get into tom brady jonathan taylor was ranked fifth on the list during 2022 so let's go to tom brady now i'm led to believe that the only reason tom brady didn't make the list this year is because he's retired and effectively they're ranking players in 2023 but they're actually taking the statistics and the gameplay from the year of 2022 so that means that tom brady should still be eligible to make the list even though he is retired and i thought the fact that they've drawn that line the fact that they've cut him out just because he's retired what are you guys doing in my opinion that is absolute bullshit um and that just seems wrong he was actually yes so he came in number one last year so jonathan taylor number five kept off the list but he's still playing tom brady came in at number one yes he's gone and retired but he still played a a a 20 how many seasons 21st season was it how many seasons one 20 23 23 seasons so he played 17 games the team went 8 and 9 they did make it to the playoffs but they lost he went from a career high in his 22nd season in the league he had a career high 5,316 passing yards it came down to 4,694 yards in his final season which is his highest except for the year before that was his highest amount of passing yards since 2015 so it's not as if he was dropping off by any means in any statistic he was still going strong he still played a full season but they've done him dirty they've done him real dirty in this instance in my opinion tom brady should have been on the list doesn't matter if he's retired or not and did we really know whether he was going to stick to his retirement or not no we didn't so that my friends was probably the biggest snub you could ever fathom on this list the great the goat tom brady so that was a real disappointment one running back one quarterback the third player on this list is actually an offensive tackle um a left tackle for the philadelphia eagles and his name is jordan mylata and the fact that jordan mylata in his fifth year in the league going from strength to strength uh one of the tallest heaviest and most impressive offensive lineman in the entire league i feel like he was snubbed somewhat as well i feel like jordan mylata certainly deserved to be in that you know 80 to 100 range i feel like he's he's he's worked his way up there um but in saying that we did have the center jason kelsey we had a right tackle lane johnson on the list both both players were on the list so where the hell was the left tackle in all this come on man it's a team the offensive line isn't just two players it's five and jordan mylata pretty much takes up the space of two so look the fact that jordan wasn't on the list this year was pretty disappointing you know i've followed him since 2018 made it into the league 2019 was his first season 2020 2021 22 i think now he's coming into his fifth year he's just signed his second bag became the highest paid australian athlete in the world behind ben Simmons and actually it might be behind dania riccardo too but either way he is going from strength to strength and i believe wholeheartedly that all going well if he stays healthy he's going to make the list next year so jonathan taylor tom brady and jordan mylata so the final player on my list of players that should have made the list but didn't in my opinion is dk metcalf and dk metcalf has been on the list pretty much every single year since he came into the league i feel like he is in his fourth or fifth year now and before i continue let me look up his stats from last year so yes he's been in the league for four years he made a thousand right hang on hang on guys wait let me get this straight top 120 okay fifth wider uh okay he came in at number 52 on the top 100 list in 2022 and in 2022 metcalf became just the fifth what this is this is at the end of the 2022 season which is if you didn't know the season that these selectors or these sorry the players use to vote and rank these players right so in 2022 metcalf just became just the fifth wider in league history to record 300 receptions 4 000 receiving yards and 35 touchdowns in his first four seasons and last year 90 receptions 1048 receiving yards and six touchdowns now the year prior 2021 75 receptions for 967 yards and 12 touchdowns yes he scored more touchdowns but he got less yards and he was still ranked number 52 on the list so unless there was a whole heap of new wide receivers that came through and just started balling out and dk metcalf kind of got just um forgotten about in the most for the most part you know he wasn't even mentioned by anyone on the list it's just i don't know it's just it just seemed wrong it seemed wrong the guy still got a thousand receiving yards in fact he's only got a thousand yards twice um 1303 in 2020 and 1048 in 2022 and look guys maybe it's just me being a fan and had you know having been a fan from the start from the literally the first time i ever saw him run that 4 3 3 in the 40 yard dash look i don't know all of those players that i've mentioned mean something to me and i think that's probably why i feel just so ripped off just absolutely ripped off that they haven't made the list but look at the end of the day the NFL is a cutthroat business and uh there's a lot of money being thrown around and there's a lot of players in the league and you know if i was put in a hot seat in front of the camera being interviewed about certain play you're gonna forget some you're gonna forget some i feel like dk and jonathan taylor and jordan malata were just simply forgotten tom brady though come on come on how can you cut that guy up either way guys that was um that was it that that's the final piece of the puzzle for me as far as this 2023 top 100 series i've put a hell of a lot of work into it this is my final video and i hope you guys have enjoyed if you agree with me or not please let me know down in the comment section below if you have been a channel member and um you've enjoyed these videos so far please let me know down in the comment section below i want to see more green in the comment sections because as we know if you are a channel member your name comes up in a bold green color none of these videos that i've created have made any money the NFL have been extra strict this year they haven't let me away with anything i believe wholeheartedly that i deserve to monetize those videos due to the fact that they fall under the fair use uh policy when using copyrighted material i have made not just a reaction video i have made a very in-depth reaction video around each and every one of those top 100 videos and look if i did want to push it if i wanted to take it to court if i wanted to take the giant the giant that is the NFL to court i reckon i'd probably win but um well i'm just a small fish in a big pond is that the analogy does that look i'm out of here guys i'm about to head back to ala springs i've spent the last four weeks here in new zealand it's been a blast uh it's been very productive it's the only reason why i was able to get these videos done and i just want to say thanks for rocking with me for another year and i'll see you next year i suppose if not sooner
