 Ah the champ is here the champ is here and by the champ I mean Hunter Renfro what is going on guys welcome back to another video today's video I'm gonna react to some American football as a rugby player I'm here in Alice Springs Australia I was born in New Zealand I lived there until I was 19 I began university but it was too much for me at that age and I had a shitload of debt so I decided to leave the country traveled across the Tasman and landed in Australia and Alice Springs believe it or not which is right in the center so that's a bit about me now we're gonna learn a bit about Hunter Renfro now Hunter Renfro I'm looking up just for shits and giggles to be honest it's not because a lot of other people have recommended him in the last video I looked up Josh Jacobs because a lot of people had recommended him and because he's a running back today we're gonna look at a wide receiver at the same team the Raiders who have unfortunately played their final game in Oakland or maybe that's fortunate I actually don't know some Raiders fans some hardcore Raiders fans will have to let me know down below in the comments section and I'm sure you will but with all that being said I want to see Hunter Renfro because he stood out to me as being very very unassuming in the that's all I've seen of him I have heard a couple of people say he's got very very surprising surprisingly good footwork and so I'm looking at him and I'm thinking I bet you've got amazing game speed and game awareness you know game speed as far as track speed might be a little bit slower in a 40-hour dash might be a little bit slower around some cones but you put him in a game you get the ball in his hand and he's gonna really really surprise you that's what I assume I'm gonna see and that's what I hope I'm gonna see so with that being said let's get into it Hunter Renfro I want to see his story I want to see how he got where he is I want to see you know his his journey to college how he got picked up all that stuff hopefully they're gonna have a few specials on him we saw some ESPN specials on Josh Jacobs in the last video so I mean I have no I've never looked him up let's do it now see what's on offer what Hunter Renfro was mistaken for Derek Carr's son by security you are fucking joking aren't you they taken the piss Derek Carr's his age I would have thought they'd say Hunter Renfro was older than Derek Carr but anyways alright that'll be a good watch Hunter Renfro Clemson football highlight so we to Clemson that's pretty good okay shit okay here we go now it's getting interesting two years ago guys way before the the NFL Hunter Renfro from walk-on to hero what is the true definition of an underdog how about an undersized walk-on receiver with tremendous dedication courage and dot dot dot that sounds absolutely amazing I'm gonna watch that first definitely but I'm gonna do something that I would be absolutely disastrous if I didn't and that's turn on the screen recorder so now that we've done that now that we've turned up the sound the bloody washing machines on in the background it's really annoying me my sister put it on and it's about to finish right now no it's not okay guys let's get into this this is the perfect video man the perfect video I assume it's before it came out before his either final season or final two seasons maybe this is after his first season at Clemson better read the description how about an undersized walk-on receiver with tremendous dedication courage and heart who became a legend in one of the biggest moments in college football history hear the story of Clemson hero Hunter Renfro okay let's do that some bat shit it's a petonk short this is what life's about just hanging out with the people you love just being able to relax and kind of kind of reboot and rebuild for other season coming up it's 5 4 win by 2 playing the seven we're up we get to here we win so let's go finish it in college and I get to come back to a place like Myrtle Beach and the beach and go hang out with family here it's a great time and I go became a raider what a legend let's go where are you buddy there you are I come from a fairly large family we got three brothers and two sisters so five siblings so I'd always be competing with brothers sister growing up three brothers two sisters we have six kids ten years apart moving a small house growing up a close family hunter likes to compete all of our children are very competitive and like I said fortunately you just never gave up around that they could be competitive with hunter always growing up one of your receiver we ran off option offense at soccer today that was 85% of our offense we knew he was a gifted athlete oh plan running back to what did they say quarterback it's got some pace there see game speed game speed baby yeah I think just growing up I just love football I tell people it started in the backyard just being able to play receive in the backyard I really enjoyed it I just had to play quarterback because they just put one of the best athletes quarterback to run triple option but I knew before that I always wanted to play receiver in college imagine that a wanting to play receiver but having to go quarterback because they played the triple option but I mean whenever he kept the ball whenever he kept the ball it was dangerous wasn't it so this is high school soccer team six or seven high school coaches then would send me text messages all the time about on a rent throw at soccer state so I really heard a lot of good things about it oh man that gives me shivers really really got five or six coaches reaching out to you of course he's gonna get connected with with Clemson then that's awesome you know all these athletes need is just a few a couple of people to just back them you know just believe in them open up some doors for them give them a chance see what they're made of but he did have a breakout high school career so I mean he did it all on his own 2012 Zoneman Trophy Hunter Renfro 2012 where was I in 2012 I was here in Alice Springs I was selling cars believe it or not and hating it 155 pounds I said he was less than 200 before I didn't realize it was 155 but that is at the end of high school so let's see what his weight's at now we brought him in on an official visit and laid it out like this is the opportunity at Clemson you're you're not ready to play at Clemson he had some other smaller offers so he decided to back himself good shit Renfro look at that Clemson poor on your chest how does that make you feel and that's exactly what he did nice I really just wanted to be able to play with the best and that's something that brought me to Clemson is being able to play with the best every week and just know I can play with them and besides that just a lot of prayer and Coach Winnie had a lot to do with it just his godly leadership and just being able to kind of plug right in there and learn from some of the best coaches but also the best man in the nation bro this guy's awesome okay one number two I cannot wait to see this moment one of the greatest moments in college football history I may have actually seen it already and and number three I can't wait to see some jokes I have a feeling I have a feeling his footwork is gonna be very very surprising and maybe the footwork's involved in this greatest moment in college football history but anyways I am not gonna pause this one more time we're gonna watch the rest of this and look at all their shoes they're real orange looks quite cool I probably dropped seven out of the 12 balls they threw me I just couldn't catch it I was just nervous I remember going off the cracks for that day thinking well maybe this receiver thing is kind of hard and I thought maybe I should have gone to gone to Charles and Southern play quarterback but I kind of settled down a little bit and just worked through scout team on my freshman year going against guys like McKinsey Alexander Robert Smith TJ Green Jay Runkers you know we go against them every day and compete and they were the number one defense in the nation that year so I knew I could compete against them then I could hold up against anybody you know hundreds and a guy that really just embraced his role whatever that role was he did it to the very best of his ability so I think he earned the respect of our team because of what he did on the scout team that first year into the day this is a program that the best players gonna play and it doesn't matter if you're a walk-on fifth-year walk-on or a true freshman a 50 a walk-on imagine that that's what you see oh shit damn I knew that was there I knew what he was doing there I knew he was pulling out that scholarship oh man that's so cool and I just remember just feeling relieved my parents that helped me out a lot and just knowing that he's not tall is he and also the reassurance of my belonging and feeling like I contribute to the team here we go second left who's that Deshaun Watson I remember just lining up and knowing I had Tay outside of me and he was gonna do his job and try to get a corner route and the guy ended up tackling him but coming off getting behind today that's it me and seeing him run down the field like you just hit a three-pointed win the game the job that Renpro did you know and how he set the defender with his release let me see this I was actually look before you discuss that mate I'm gonna discuss it myself now what do we call that do we call that a mesh or a screen when one guy goes behind the other set a look at this release actually nearly gets caught up on his other teammates the back of his leg and you've just got to go underneath them man and the guy is a tackling him shit man oh he was gonna do his job and try to get a corner route and if Renfro's defender didn't stumble because of Renfro's great footwork then he may have covered this a little bit better but Renfro got lucky his defender stumbled he managed to get outside but that's some good footwork man watch this the guy is a tackling him but coming off patiently and just getting behind Tay Deshaun hitting me and then seeing him run down the field unlike he just hit a three-pointed the job that Renfro did you know and how he set the defender with his release with the stem off the ball and then his ability to stick a foot in the ground open his hips and accelerate that's what makes it special stick a foot in the ground like there's anybody love it on our offense that Deshaun is more comfortable throwing to in that situation than Hunter Renfro and I saw him do a great job at the top of his breakpoint and whenever he got open I felt very confident flex the ball to the race I remember just standing in about 30 minutes after the game knowing we won the national championship just looking around seeing all the fuck that was a national championship game and just knowing how blessed we were as a team and me individually to have that moment maybe I have seen this moment more natively that team which was part of the company something set out works so hard for the teammate you always you know want to be around guy you want to be around don't he don't say much he's just quiet humble spirit yeah he's just a guy got a ball a little family knows that people I think people like I do think there's some super story is he's a crazy good athlete but just a guy he rises that he'd be my friend I tell you it's going one day and I think the most important thing to hunter is he loves playing ball he'd love to be able to do that but just some family we're a real close family we enjoy each other and we've got crisis in our lives and that's what's important to us I think he's a guy that's just just gonna continue to grind over the next two seasons grow physically and as he does again his his natural assets and strengths that he has are just gonna shine even brighter I mean we're already on to next year I think it's something that I can appreciate 20 years down the road but for the next two years I gotta be locked in on what we have to do to go one another one tell you what man he's got all the right answers very very impressed with old hunter Renfro and that took us up to the end of 2017 no possibly the end of 2016 when did Clemson Nash um fuck they won it last year too okay how many times is Clemson won Clemson has won three national champions and Clemson has won three national championships in football the most recent coming in 2018 with a victory over Alabama let me see which one they're referring to with old Renfro 2016 so that must have been at the start of 2017 and this video came out in August 2017 prior to the start of the 2018 season something like that anyways let's get back into a bit of Hunter Renfro that was a little that was actually a great look at his college football career or the first part of it oh this is going to be great Hunter Renfro explains his journey from walk-on to the NFL the silver and black show okay well this is going to be me looking at Hunter Renfro's journey in the next video we're going to look at his Clemson highlights and in the video after that we're going to look at his Raiders highlights and that's going to be Hunter Renfro done but this is a 20 minute special sit back relax grab your popcorn grab your coffee let's go welcome to the silver and black show in this week's overview brought to you by Hawaiian Airlines Jim and I get you ready for a matchup on the road against the jets I sit down with go-to receiver Hunter Renfro and head coach John Gruden joins Chris Townsend to break down the challenge of the mall Adams all that and more on the silver and black show starting right now just win where is he no like actual where is he up there down here or down here I don't know where he is I thought that was Hunter Renfro Derek Carr's first career start September 7th 2014 okay three straight wins the playoffs within reach and the Raiders are back on the road to face the New York Jets welcome to the silver and black show I'm your host Nicole's alumus alongside our two-time Super Bowl champion Jim Plunkett Jim it's a good time to be a racer because they're turning out these games that are so much fun to watch what have you seen over the last three weeks well I think a lot of big plays have occurred over these last three weeks good solid defense when they needed it around the goal line to stop a drive and maybe possibly type the score right I'm really sorry mr. Plunkett but I am gonna have to skip we want to see Hunter Renfro today leave you on bow and Jacobs we looked at Jacobs who's this John Gruden good old John Gruden we love a bit of Gruden don't me when he wants better execution I want better fucking execution he gets better execution there we go this is what we want Dyson Steve big and fast those are the most coveted attributes in today's NFL for GM Mike Mayock he wasn't as concerned with those when he drafted Hunter Renfro in the fifth round what are you trying to say just come out and say he's small and slow but he's actually not excuse me he's not gonna outrun you is that right my eyes and speed big and fast those are the most coveted attributes in today's NFL for GM Mike Mayock he wasn't as concerned with those when he drafted Hunter Renfro in the fifth round Hunter is not gonna out run you or out jump you but he will outwork you and he will out thank you and that's the exact player that's a fit for head coach John Gruden Hunter Renfro one of my favorite stories in the NFL and the silver and black were so lucky to have you I know we talked in the preseason let's start at the beginning of your story two national champion is he feeling intimidated by this woman I think I might actually if it was me you catch the game winner from Deshaun Watson you're part of what's Deshaun Watson putting the league on notice what is life like for you right now it's been a whirlwind it's been a lot of fun it's it's it's wild to me to think six years ago I was paying for my school I was a walk-on I was wearing number 35 which no receiver really wears 35 that's better be worth 25 but just a lot of change it's a lot of excitement for me I've been blessed to be a part of a bunch of special people at Clemson obviously who helped mold me to who I am and thankfully I've been a group of good guys around here that's helped me tremendously it doesn't matter what number you're wearing as long as you're putting up numbers yeah that's true obviously Clemson fans love you so much so that they're naming children after you is this true have you met babies named Hunter yeah yeah so after we won the national championship back it was in January and so that following August I guess between that time a lot of a lot of parents had kids and so I met six or seven babies that had either rent throw or Hunter so wow a lot of cool connections and definitely family atmosphere that's incredible let's go back to last week the 27 yard catch because I know my household the kids were going nuts take me through that plan the 27 yard catch are we gonna see one of his highlights from this season let's do it man the corner ball of the top yes so yeah the big third down I guess conversion over the top Derek did a great job I really not a first progression on my play I'm kind of third or fourth progression so Derek did a good job just being a good football player and it popped open and hit me over the top and I really was trying to catch and score and I tripped a little bit so damn you recorded your first touchdown at Houston in front of Sean so he's got a touchdown yeah that was special oh wow okay so just to show him what's in the quarterback from Clemson who threw that national championship winning pass now plays quarterback for the Texans and he scored a touchdown against them how fucking cool is that guys there's not much better look at this look at the step out of the tackle quick slam breaks the tackle breaks another one and he's away a lot of Clemson guys there and coach when he always talks about godly sometimes God just wings at you and so there's a picture of me and him after the game kind of hugging and it was fourth down 13 to go and then you add his passing stats his rushing stats and my receiving stats from that game and they have to 413 yards and so just little things like that it's just it was just a special time for me obviously and today we get that touchdown him and all the other Clemson guys and teams pretty cool and then to come back here Raider Nation pick up your first touchdown an important one what was that like yeah it was it was a big one it was it was so he scored one at home oh I like that it was cool for me because oh through the leagues we needed it to go win the game that's what's important to me it's just be able to go make plays yeah rain for as we sit here week 12 was there a specific week or game or the light switch just turned on for you I think I think the Chicago game I had me four or five targets I didn't catch and it was right before the bye week and I knew I was able to go home that next week and and I remember being on the sideline of that game nice footwork right covered if I'm gonna do bad I'm not gonna do bad going my hardest playing my best and so that was kind of moment I had so much failure during that game I felt like that I was there hard forget all this I'm gonna do it my way I'm gonna do it as hard as I can I'm not gonna be scared of anything and when it clicked for me in that game I felt like Green Bay I was able to kind of get some things going even though I didn't have a big statistically good king but just be able to learn some things and not play oh my god he did well to keep that special relationship that you have with Derek car because we really saw that on our you guys purple for the games right yeah we do yeah we do it was funny we it was a second game of the year what better way to make sure you get into the nucleus of the team make sure you're appreciated and looked at by the quarterback when you're the third or fourth option you get a carpool with the quarterback we're going to play in Kansas City at home and we drive by security yeah and I'm in the front passenger seat and he's in the front seat and Derek kind of says hey waving through and he looks in the window and says hey you got your son with you today and I look at him and I'm like do I look that young in my old or my younger than him and he's so we have a good time about that now fucking out coach green and what it's been like having a coach with you know such a great reputation I sure you went to the week yeah just his football knowledge I think where he separates himself there's two things really his football knowledge is second to none it's unbelievable just the amount of film he watches to how much he cares for his players and how much he cares about winning I mean nobody gets more excited after the end and it's not because he's like oh look at me that excitement and that passion would be absolutely infectious but I wouldn't like to see the bad side of it when you have a big loss although it's just part of it isn't it the highs and the lows of NFL football he's so happy for his team and so happy for the guys you were born in 1995 so who did you grow up watching who were the NFL stars that you modeled your game so I'm a big college fan I love college football and so I was always in the back there playing football rather than watching the play me and my dad did love watching paid men in those teams Indianapolis Colts with Reggie Wayne Marvin Harrison and those guys and so we always liked them and then grown up for me getting in the middle school high school watching Sammy Watkins Deandre Hopkins they have a plague in those guys this year has been unbelievable to me so that's who I grew up well and I'm sure admiring the Manning family your family has a lot of similarities because it's a football family your dad as a coach have several siblings what was your household like in your upbringing so we we have a bunch of good stories I like to credit my mom for for teaching me how to play receiver because she was so for erratic and just throwing the ball everywhere she was diving down the door best athlete but my dad give her some credit she's out there with you yeah she's a good mom my dad we did triple option offense and that's kind of his background so he'd have us out and he never forced football on us he was always just having fun and if I grew up I never want to play football yet no problem but he would have us out there blocking the trees in the front yard and running the offense and just having fun with it so I think just watching him and my love for him and just his love for the game kind of married up what can Raider Nation expect from Hunter Renfrow that's a good question hopefully give it to him bro someone who just goes and tries to earn it every day hopefully I don't we always have a saying in Clemson don't don't let last year's home runs count this year last games touchdown this year and so just kind of start over and go earn it every day that's something that I I appreciate when people just go earn it they're not giving anything they have to go earn it every single day so that's something oh man that was sick that was fantastic Hunter Renfrow okay so we've got honestly it's the exact guy that I thought he'd be which is great because that means he's an absolute legend in my books he's literally like 23 years old played quarterback in high school was a walk on at Clemson threw him in the weight room for the first year which actually sounds like a lot of fun to me and you know he's he's got a mind for the game and I reckon he'll probably be in the NFL for a long time to come and I wouldn't be surprised if he stays at the Raiders now who gets a carpool with the quarterback in your first rookie year now it's those kind of things that will keep a guy around a team I think but I might be wrong he may get traded I don't think he's the kind of guy to get complacent and start looking for offers else elsewhere though I think I think he'll most likely stay at the Raiders for at least a few years in fact let's just see what his was it a four-year rookie deal I assume the 149th pick in the fifth round the 17th of 28 wide receivers one of three Clemson players taken by the Raiders and the only offensive player drafted from the national championship team so he won two national championships okay so here we go yep 510 weighed 155 pounds he took a red shirt in the first year threw him in the weight room put 10 kilos on or like 20-something pounds went back to the coach and received his scholarship so he put in the work and made it count well he's got a 35 inch vertical jump that's that's nothing to be ashamed of I've got to say but Hunter info that was today's video if you see this man imagine if come under info actually saw this he's the kind of guy I would absolutely love to meet up with you know in the off-season and throw down you know throw some passes throw some balls practice some routes you know run through some cones possibly some punts some pun returns all sorts of shit man all sorts of shit I'd absolutely love it so Hunter info or anyone that does know Hunter info hit me up on Instagram let's organize something all right so that is enough of Hunter info's story for today in the next two videos we're gonna look at his highlights let's see some footwork baby it's all I can say have a great day everyone it is Saturday the 21st of December Christmas is in four days so I want to say whenever you do see this video Merry Christmas and have a happy new year peace out everybody
