Let's get on Ed Rear.

Coach Balichick's favorite defensive player besides who's that guy from the New York Giants Jewels that he loves as.

Well, Lawrence Taylor.

Lawrence Taylor always gets a hard on for Lawrence Taylor.

But he had another fall.

He got about like three quarters chub for Ed Reid.

We used to call Ed Reed ed Reid Belichick.

So let's see what AI asked to say.

Well, you couldn't blame coach Balichick because Reed was a baller.

He was a ball or athletic, all right.

Start the clock.

Ed Reed standing at five foot eleven and weighing two hundred five pounds at replay safety for the Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, and New York Jets.

The Jets when he played for the late late twenty thirteen, they must have been one season.

One season.

Drafted twenty fourth overall, he just probably wanted that, you know, final chuck, because why would he go to the Jets in twenty thirteen.

All right, we'll talk about that later.

Drafted twenty fourth overall in two thousand and two out of the University of Miami, he was known for his high football IQ play making, abillity, and unmatched leadership.

He was a game changer, finishing his career with sixty four interceptions, fifteen one hundred and ninety interception return yards cool and seven defensive touchdowns.

He was a nine time Pro Bowler, two thousand and four NFL Defense Player of the Year, and is an all time NFL leader in interception return yards.

I was gonna say that right when I heard that number as well, It's like that has to be an all time record, I ran, No, one must be close.

He played his entire career with the Baltimore Ravens.

Oh wait, wait, say hey, a you just said he played for three teams in the first sentence, and now the last sentence, he played his entire career with the Baltimore Ravens.

That ain't true, and help bring them their second Super Bowl victory with a win over the forty nine Ers and Super Bowl forty seven.

Now, he played for three teams, Houston Texans and the New York Jets.

But he had his.

Best you know, career years obviously with the Baltimore Ravens, and then just finished off with the irrelevant years.

Didn't matter.

He's roughly Baltimore Raven for life, Miami Hurricane player for life, the U.

I mean, he's known.

He put the He helped put the U on the map and also helped, you know, put that defense of the Baltimore Ravens on the map as well.

This is why Lewis was there, Yeah, Ray Lewis.

I mean, that's why they were known as.

The toughest defense in in the NFL.

Ray Lewis.

Ad Reid and what's his yeah, t sizzle Drouse, Oh loading nada man, that dude, Oh my gosh, he's like Vita vea basic three hundred and sixty pounds, just massive, blows up holes you can't move them.

But what's the first thing you think of about ad Reid when you hear his name, Jules.

First thing I think of is cover for red area.

Him blowing me up.

I'm sorry, he blew me up in that.

Remember when we played the first I'm sorry I asked you this question.

Yeah he uh, he did blow you up?

Remember that?

Yeah, we were playing there, uh he oh yeah, he lit me up.

But you got right back up though, I did.

We ended up scoring you a tough SB Jules, but that nah, he tough son of a gun.

He was just the first thing, like he was just everywhere, Like what's that one?

There's that one thing.

Two thirds of the earth is covered by water, the other third is covered by Ed Reid.

Like that.

That is what I think of when I think of Ed Reid.

Got to compete against him from a very young age at my rookie year, and that's when we were going.

They were coming and beating us in Foxboro.

We were battling them in the AFC Championship.

You remember those early years we battled him.

That was like our Denver in the back of our career where we were going playing the toughest, you know what I mean.

It just was always a battle, and Ed Reid was just a very unpredictable dude to try to get a beat on.

He bade a qbs in the mistakes all the time, all the time, all the time.

You ever meet him.

I never met Ed Reid, No, never have man good because I really never met him on the field either, which is a good thing.

I played my rookie year, but I really didn't play that much versus Baltimore Ravens my rookie year, probably twenty thirty plays.

I never really had a chance to match up with him, and then he was kind of onto the next teams, like those irrelevant years on those teams of just not really playing versus some But I just remember him in the heyday though, which was good.

I'm glad that his heyday was before my heyday because I probably wouldn't have had a heyday then if there's had Reed still in his heyday when I was there.

But just what I really loved about him was just his range.

Yes, he was a guesser and he baited quarterbacks and the mistakes, but also he bait him in the mistakes and then have that range to cover that mistake that the quarterback is making.

Yeah, he would get you to throw that deep ball and act like he was out of coverage, but he was so fast and athletic he would go and get that deep ball and make that interception.

You want to know how good ad Reid was, how calm jeueles, how good he was.

What ad time I have to do in the playoffs in twenty eleven in that AFC Championship game.

What did he have to do?

Because that read was just that guy.

I remember he used to have to put in his on his wristband because you know, for extended plays sometimes if you had to check with me, you'd have a lengthy verbiage thing.

So we put it on there.

Yeah, I bet you he remember he had the reminder that said fine number twenty because he was just that big of a focal point of that defense he was, you know what I mean, that's how much it wasn't just fine number twenty, It was fine.

Number twenty on every play, every locato, and throw the ball the other way?

It what didn't say throw the ball any way?

But you gotta find him.

Yep, you gotta find him.

You gotta know where he is.

You got a base to playoff of him.

You gotta alert it, you gotta lerner aar.

When Tom's doing that, that means he doesn't like where twenty.

Is exactly without a doubt.

And I remember plays where Tom used to talk about, you know, he'd watch Ed Reid and Ed Reid would be on the ground and he's got like the deep third and he'd be on the ground in the ball, lying on the ground like a goddamn lion, and then get up and sprint back there and go pick a ball like that's kind of instinct.

That he had.

But what I loved about Ray also because early on my career I was a return I was a special teamer, and whenever we played against the Baltimore Ravens on all units, he was a fucking problem on our punt return or our punt team.

He had the up and under on the field goal block.

He had the up and under like he used to block kicks, scoop scores, he returned kicks for touchdowns.

He just was an all around fucking unbelievable football player that young football players need to watch and not try to emulate, because not everyone can be Ed Reid.

Not everyone can do that, but like understand that, Like this dude's like a freak.

What would you say is the better safety between the two ultimate safeties in the AFC North, Troy Polamolo or Ad Reid?

That's so hard.

They're different players.

I think of Ed as more of a deep safety, like a free I think of Paula Malu more of a like a strong safety.

So I think they're different.

Both just electric football players that you want to play with, Like I would love to get to play with them because the amount of practice against them that you would get, like it would make you a better football player, sure would.

Iron sharpens on what do you think?

It depends on the scheme.

It depends on the defensive coach, what their mindset is.

Like you said, if you have a scheme where the safeties you know, are blitzing more and making more plays in the backfield and acting more.

Of like a linebacker, you got to go with Troy Polamalu.

But if you have a scheme where it's more about coverage, you got to go with ad Reed, no doubt about it.

I mean, this guy could cover any part of the field at any given time, even if.

He's on one side.

If he has one half of the field, he can go to the other half and give help to the safety once the ball is release so fast and just so quick.

And what's so great about him too, is just as ball skills man.

He would like tip that ball to him like all the time for an interception like and then wide receiver skills.

Post in or exception and he'd be throwing you throw the ball back.

They always you always had to be alert for a lateral or remember he stole the ball from his teammate to pick it when he was about to fall down Out of players who didn't play for coach Belichick, who do you think is on the mount rushmore of guys that he loves?

Because I for sure ed Reed would be obviously Lawrence Taylor.

We just talked we played for him, but that we didn't play that we didn't play with What do you mean we didn't like that coach that that didn't coach?

Yeah?

Maybe that so because he coached Lawrence Taylor.

He coached Lawrence Taylor's out of there, but he's still on there.

He's still he's still on the Lawrence Taylor all right, I would say.

Ed Reed might might be number one.

Then the guy that Coach Belichick never coached, never dreamed of coaching.

Sorry, Devin mccordy, we got you back.

You want to rate dudes on dudes?

Well, Coach Balichick love that, oh got him.

Who else would be on there?

Who else did he love?

Probably like a pun?

I mean, well, he coached Cam Newon.

He loved Cam Newing.

I always talked about Cam Newing, you gotta contain him in the pocket.

But then he coached Cam Newon, So that one doesn't really count, but it was him.

Love Peyton Manny, no doubt about it.

Love another guy at a legend played way back in the day, Jim Brown.

Bill Bill loved Jim Brown.

He whenever that is, that is such a good pool because anytime there'd be just guys slap we'd be slap digging in the locker room and Bill be coming in with his little fucking towel.

You know, you go to the treadmill with this binder and his towel.

You're going to watch some film on the tread and guys be arguing about shit.

You know, Bill sometimes would say something.

He'd be like, hey, you know what I mean?

And I remember someone guys were arguing about top top running backs of all time.

Oh it's this guy.

It's this guy.

I think he said, Jim Brown.

You guys don't know, fucking Jim Brown's best football player.

Like he loves Jim Brown, loves loves Jim Brown.

What about Ed Reid's you know college days, he was, he was the guy at the U, like he exemplified what the U was all about.

Top hard and nose football players that gave no damn, no damn out there out on the field, gave it.

They're all And this just represents him in just one play.

What you got jewels about that?

I mean.

Miami versus Boston College two thousand and one.

Miami was up twelve seven late in the game and Boston College was in the red zulue.

Do you remember this play?

Yeah, one of the most famous college football players of all time.

He got deflected into what one of his defensive linemen, ad Red, strips the ball from him and takes it eighty yards to the house and they ended up winning eighteen to seven.

Flashy like their defense, Like just just fun flash playmaker.

Yeah, put it in.

He's also like a speech giver.

You know, you look at this one speech.

I'm sitting there.

They're up twenty one to three at halftime.

He was pissed at Miami's effort because they were like national champion hopes.

This is when the U is the freaking U.

He you go and and Ed Reid, I'm hurt.

Don't ask me if I'm all right.

I'm putting my heart in this ship.

Let's go, man.

And what happened?

They go and blow him out forty nine and then what what happened?

End of the year?

Lose the rest of the season.

They won the national championship BCS National Championship.

That is two thousand and one.

The U was the you who didn't love you.

He's on the Mount Rushmore.

You guys too, isn't he?

Ray Lewis m h I mean what what offensive guys?

Michael Irving gores there.

Shocky, there's a couple.

There's a bunch of tight ends.

What about Andre Johnson, Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne Warren sap oh man, this goes on that.

I want to hear what people think.

Who's on that big vv?

How can you forget about big Viude?

Greg Ols?

I mean you when we were kids.

Man, you know what.

I love the U.

Dude.

I got an offer from the U to go play tight end there.

Yeah, I wasn't gonna go there.

Was was at the very and I just thought like I was complete because I got the offer from the Like, it just made me satisfied, like, yeah, I could play at the U.

But I'm not going there, but I could play that I got the offer.

I was, you know, very happy, but you when I was when I you know, when you're in eighth grade and you do that thing where you write a letter to yourself and then your teacher saves it and then sends it to you and you're a senior in high school.

Mine's went along the lines of something like this, like, it's good to see that you're probably going to be signing your your commitment letter to University of Miami.

I hope you enjoyed the sunshine.

I wanted to go to the U so bad.

I wrote to myself in eighth grade to fucking myself in the future.

And little that I know, I was ending up at JUCO and yeah, I didn't didn't go to the end.

And then Kent.

It was kind of it was close to close because that was in yours.

That was close.

That was close.

Run it up at Kent.

It was like that lot of we can't do the U, but we can do the Kent, which is kind of near Miami.

But the Miami Ohio yea, yeah, So it was never offered to go to Kent, and then you would still you would still be in the junior college right now.

To go beat beat you you manifest to play against Joey Paul Mulo have manifested play against Miami of Ohio Baby.

Miami, Ohio grade school.

My friend went there him twice and let me tell you, we had a good time.

And my jersey is up on the wall and it got stolen.

It was right next to Big Ben's jersey.

Forgot the place we went to, oh Man Miami House.

I went Sean d it.

I played against Sean McVay when he went to Miami Ohio.

He's that young.

Yeah, no, no, he's that young.

He's both because he's the head coach.

I know, but he was a head coach ten years ago.

I think he got any twenty.

What position did he play?

He was the receiver slot.

He had a catch against us, Yeah, just one, though I don't really remember.

Now, I guarantee you remember me.

That's what we're talking about, all right, I let it go time.

What kind of dude is Edrie oh Man?

I mean, definitely a wizard, because you got to know the game of football, especially on the defensive side of the ball, in order to bait your quarterback into throwing the ball so you.

Can go make an interception.

But he's absolute dog too.

When he made that interception, brought it to the house, stripping his.

Lineman in college, so he can go for an eighty hour touchdown not returning as well as the most electric returns in most yardage return in the NFL history.

Player, When you're the superstar on defense and you're still playing in the kicking game, that's fucking dog.

That's when you know you're a legend.

That's a dog.

That's when you know you're a football player.

Is well, mental toughness, always motivated.

You knew that.

You knew Ed Reid was motivated.

Heart and soul of the U.

Well, I mean there's so many hearts there.

Yeah, yeah, there was so many hearts.

But one of them one of the heart and souls of the U.

One of the heart and souls.

So dogs, dog, dog, stamping damp it dog.

We'll start with former teammate of mine on Inside the NFL Ray Lewis, scary s o B.

Let's see what AI has to say about him.

All right, we got some dude synopsis here.

Scariest dude Number one is ray Lewis.

Let's see what AI has to say.

Let's ay, I gotta say.

Ray Lewis is widely regarded.

Ray Lewis is widely regarded as one of the greatest middle linebackers in NFL history, known for his intense playing style and leadership on the field and off the field, he overcame personal challenges and became a motivational figure, often speaking about discipline and perseverance.

Lewis had significant impact on the Baltimore Ravens, leading them to two Super Bowl victories and earning the Super Bowl MVP and two thousand and one.

Wow Wow, I was twelve years old in two thousand and one, Jules, how old were you about?

Fifteen?

Fourteen, fourteen fifteen.

Notably, he is the only player in NFL history with over forty career sacks and thirty interceptions instinct.

Additionally, he was a twelve time pro bowler and a two time NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Ray Lewis for you, ladies and gentlemen, brought to you by AI.

I think the AI is pretty right.

I worked with Ray as soon as I retired on inside the NFL, and in those pre production meetings he would speak and I felt like I wanted to run through a goddamn brick wall.

Every time he would speak.

He sounded like a pastor with the mix of craziness and a mix of a gladiator quote.

Don't Ray, don't think I don't know where your quotes come from.

We went to Rome together and I figured out that all of Ray's motivational quotes come from the movie The Gladiator.

It was crazy, he's I remember playing him.

He knocked me out of game.

First off, what game was that?

And what year was that he knocked you out of the game?

It was Remember when Dion Branch came back for the first game back?

So about was it twenty thirteen or fourth year or this year?

This was like twenty twelve, eleven.

Or twelve, Yeah, it was two.

Branch came back left on the team on eleven.

Yes, yes, two thousand time.

My rookie year.

Randy Moss was traded after the fourth game of the season.

And then didn't we trade for We traded back for Dion Branch right that year, So it was my rookie year.

It was your rookie year.

Yes, twenty ten, the same season that Randy Moss got traded.

Yeah, and he hit me on under in the red area, and I remember hello, Di Nada like picking me up and saying, hey, buddy, you're you're luck your sidelines that way.

That was.

That was at Chilotte Stadium at yes, and it was twenty ten ten.

It was he lit me up and then the year before.

This is my second year in the league.

Year before, in the playoffs, he scored and I on a scramble in the red area, Tom darted it to me.

I caught it in and I got a touchdown.

And Ray was right behind me, and he needed me so hard in my left butt cheek that like I got a crazy hematoma and I looked like I had j low booty on more like my butt was just I had one big butt.

It was so fucking crazy.

If we would have we got smoked that game, but I wouldn't have been able to play the next week because I had like internal bleeding.

It was fucking nuts.

So that dude has scared the shit out of me.

What do you think about?

First off, A, I hit it, hit it on point.

But they didn't, you know, talk about all his characteristics that he brings to the table as well.

Yes, a great motivational speaker, great player, you know, all the accolades, two time Super Bowl, chain apient whatever, twelve time pro bowler, But they didn't talk about the characteristics that makes him himself vicious out in the field, vicious, absolutely vicious, intimidating one hundred percent.

I would put my hand down, and I was already scared of Ray Lewis when he was lined up in front of me.

I was when when you're scared of a player, you're kind of already beat as well.

Just that's how intimidating he was.

Just a nature of just the way he carried himself and energy that he brought to the table.

You did not want to mess with Ray Lewis, no doubt, no ants, ifs or butts about that.

Now.

He was not just scary, but he was also like one of the smartest football players you fucking played, very intellectual it like we I remember we'd be in a three by one, like a Trip's formation, and he'd be sitting there calling out like all I watched this hook, watch his hook like he'd be calling our plays and he would I remember talking to when we worked together, and he would study all of our our TV copies so he could hear Tom's signals, he could hear all the line front signals.

So anytime we would play the Ravens with Ray, we kind of knew that he knew everything.

We had to change everything because he was such a smart, hard working guy that did anything it took to fucking go out and win a game.

If that meant sitting watching five hours of all the TV copies to just to get one little signal from something, That's what ray Lewis was doing.

And he was just he was fucking.

Like we look at middle linebackers now, middle linebackers are two hundred and twenty five, two hundred and thirty pounds.

Ray Lewis was sidelined to sideline two fifty two fifty doing war dances before the game, getting the whole city of Baltimore some light.

I mean, he was their first first pick of that franchise.

Like he set the stage for what Baltimore has become.

You know, Like what he said in his things known for defense, tough team.

You know it's carried out throughout you know, Harbor Harboro inherited him, rose it to what it is now.

But there are tough fucking team.

And ray Lewis was like the wardaddy of the war daddies.

And he was the definition of a linebacker in the NFL in the in the decade of the two thousand era, no doubt about that.

Big, strong, intimidating, fast, took no shit at all.

He was the defensive captain.

He was the guy in the huddle that got everyone you know, in the right spots where they needed to be.

He was the one that was calling every single defensive player.

He was the absolute definition of a Mike linebacker, of a middle linebacker.

Mike linebacker is just a name for the middle linebacker for all you people out there, So Mike linebacker, middle linebacker, same exact thing, MLB.

But he was the definition.

He was the standard of strength, of speed, of agility of a middle linebacker.

And how giveness and how instinctiveness intellectual, just how smart he was the a build to know what plays were being called and how to fill a gap as well.

That I'm mother effort, That mother effort knew how to fill a gap and blow a gap up better than any linebacker.

In the history of the game.

And he set the example to all young guys, all players, all defensive players in high scoring college on how to play the linebacker position in the game of football.

There's no doubt about that.

And that was mean aggressive.

What else is there?

Julian fucking instinctive, Yes, just all of it.

And once again I got to experience and I got to be on a team, you know, with Ray and the way he motivated guys like his stories and like how he would you have to Like he told me once we're doing inside the NFL, he goes, you got to win the crowd to win your freedom.

I'm like, Ray, we're talking about football.

We're not in a goddamn We're not at the Colisseum right now.

Okay, I want to run through the wall, but we're not hitting nobody.

Yes, he would.

He would say something and I couldn't understand anything, but I got the point.

Like he would say something, I'm like, fuck, yeah, I don't.

Let's let's have the best fucking show.

Let's have a show, right, Like That's how Ray was, you know, and we we uh we went and did this convention over in Croatia together, and so I was like, great, let's you want to go to Rome after with me?

And so me and Ray went to Rome and to watch him go.

We went to the coliseum for a day and it was like watching a kid walk into a candy shop.

When he saw that Colisseum, like you could tell that it was like ingrained in them.

He was like, this is where the men that I am used to perform in the day of age of them.

He said, something like that.

To me, like race in one of his past lives.

I bet you he was a gladiator in the Colisseum Er.

Yes, hey, he I saw he He literally had a single tear when he walked, and he saw just how grand and old and how he was.

You could see him using his imagination for all the freaking fans and stuff and guys ripping each other's goddamn heads off, and it like he loved it.

Wait a second, do you think he was one of the gladiators back in the day or was he one of those lions?

No, he was, he was, he was, he both.

He he was lying heart, lying heart, but a gladiator.

Yeah, lion heart, lionheart like band damn.

Can't disagree with that.

Have you ever been covered by him?

I've been covered by him a few times.

I mean, obviously his game was stopping the run, but he was very smart in the zone coverage as well.

Hell of picks, yes, a lot of picks.

I mean what he has?

What thirty interceptions and over fifty sacks?

What was that?

Yeah?

The only person, the only one to ever do it.

And you know he's just very athletic for his size too.

Man, his arms are just massive.

It just looks like a guy out of like a magazine cover, you know, just straight off a magazine from front page cover, right off the stands and just put on the football field.

Gladiator.

He was a definition of what a guy and Madden looks like.

You know when you're playing the game, Matten, you know you just got taken right out of the video game and put right on the field.

But I got to clear up a little bit with ray Lewis.

I mean the guy you know, back end of his career when we were facing him, so we didn't really get the true ray Lewis, just like all of us in the NFL.

Yeah, he definitely let you up still.

But when you're in your prime prime, you're moving people, no matter what the situation is, you're moving people.

You're blowing up the holes all that.

So we didn't.

We didn't.

I never got like leveled by ray Lewis.

I definitely felt his power.

But here's a situation.

I was running.

This thing goes viral all over Instagram all the time where it's a clip of me running over Ray Lewis.

But let me get this clear out there.

I didn't really like technically run over ray Lewis.

I mean I did in the clip, and people just take it out of context because you know, on the film directly like with you know, you just take that three seconds of a clip and I am running over Ray Lewis.

But here's the deal.

Here's the situation.

It was a passing play and I was on a route.

He was dropping back in the coverage, and I was debating.

I had an incut twelve yard incut, and I was debating because he was dropping back, you know, doing his thing, trying to making it hard on myself because you know, you know, he's very smart of a player, knows how to drop back and get you confused of where he's going, so then it kind of throws you off your route.

So I'm like, do I go outside of him because he's dropping out of my out of my zone, out out of the area where I got to run the twelve yard incut?

Or is he going inside and I should go inside?

Or should I go outside of him?

You know what I'm trying to say.

So I'm debating, and I'm kind of stiff this game.

You know, I'm just running straight and I'm debated, shall go out?

Should I go in?

Shl I go out, should I go in?

And I'm running full speed at him, debating, and then boom, I just clashed right into him.

So he wasn't really paying attention to me, and he was looking back at the quarterback.

But when I clashed right into him on the passing route, he went flying backwards and I ran him over.

And then I like jumped up real quick and acted like I was wide open, so like I didn't really run him over.

No, I didn't get a catch either, So it was great coverage by him actually, like to the t if you ask me, But it's a clip where I'm like, no, it's like just taking off context.

I will tell you when I ran.

That sounds scary of a guy.

He is is where Rob over here ran his ass over.

Okay, I don't want to hear it right he got ran over.

No, I didn't run him in coverage and I just ran my route through him.

He's trying to justify running him over and did not make Ray mad at him.

I don't want Ray mad at me.

Tell you that right now.

But I was just running my route and it went through him and he was you know, he was on his on his heels backing up back pedaling and using his fly Yeah, he did go flying, but it was not like a run player or anything.

If that was a run play and I blocked him like that, well then that's off to me.

I would still go running.

I would still run to the other sideline because I'd still be scared of Ray Lewis.

But uh, I didn't technically run him over.

It was just a little mishap.

And Jules I got a question when he did that, you know, the war dance running out of the tunnel, the Baltimore fans going crazy.

Did you ever watch one of those war dances every time?

Were you like looking the other way like Coach no, no, Belichick, I'm not I'm not watching it because that's what Bill said.

Yeah, don't be paying attention to what they're doing.

Just worry about what you're doing.

But ray Lewis is war dance.

You had a peep, dude, that's that's a peak, dude.

You had to Coach Belichick had a Ravens weekend even though he's be like, look, we're gonna be going to Baltimore.

We're gonna have Ray doing his goddamn fucking war dance.

Like, just get your heads right, get your heads right for the game.

We're all.

You know he's gonna be doing that war dance.

You know he's referenced the war dance.

Wait, his war dance is called the squirrel dance.

Ain't no squirrel doing that?

Yeah, because Jewels, you're a squirrel, you ain't doing those type of dances.

I never heard anyone even call it nice war dance dance.

It was started by his friends in his hometown.

They named it the squirrel dance because it had the whole town jumping.

I get it now, I know.

But the squirrel dance, you're the squirrel.

Yeah, And I don't see a squirrel looking that scary.

No, squirrels are furry and cute.

Kine, it's and ugly.

No, Ray looks like he wants to bite your face off and do a war dance on your face after it's been bit off.

What about his vibe or overall Ray Lewis is or I mean the visor, what the you know, the little bands on his arm?

All that just a scary player over scar in that purple and black.

That's just a mean looking team.

It is all right, all right, time, let's determine what kind of duty is all right, ray Lewis.

What kind of dude is ray Lewis?

Is he a freak?

Of course, he's a freak.

I mean he definitely has freak of nature in him.

I mean he's gigantic.

He's a definition he's I mean of a middle linebacker.

He's a whizz as well.

He was so innovative for the sideline the sideline quarterback of the defense type linebacker.

He's a dude's dude as well.

I mean, positive attitude, the motivational speaking, getting everyone going, bringing everyone together.

I mean he's special, man.

That's special.

And on top of it, just being that phenomenal of a football player.

Man, That's what really made him special.

He had so many great characteristics that he brought to a team, not just being a good player.

I think he's a dog.

He's relentless, he's motivated, he's physically and mentally tough.

Dude.

Reason the best teammate ever
