Jared Lorenzen - there was no other talent like yours. U did the unthinkable and got yourself a ring. Forever known as a legend. Jared Lorenzen 1981-2019❤️

21:47 -- Fun fact: Prior to the OT rules changing in '21, Eli Manning and Jared Lorenzen were also involved in the two longest games in college football history -- Manning at Ole Miss in 2001 and Lorenzen at Kentucky in 2003 (two years and two days apart), with QB Matt Jones and the Arkansas Razorbacks beating them both. Ole Miss was finally beaten after 7 overtimes, and Kentucky after 6, but I remember both games well as a Hog fan who first got into football heavily in high school between 2000 and '04. Arkansas 58, Ole Miss 56. Nov. 3, 2001 - Oxford, Miss. ... Arkansas 71, Kentucky 63. Nov. 1, 2003 - Lexington, Ky. ...

as someone who goes to school in highland heights i get chills seeing his photo everyday in the trophy room reminding myself to stay fit

This is one of the best made sports videos on RU-vid. Ending it with Jared Lorenzen was a great choice. Got a sub in me now.

As a college student studying special education, I love that you talked about Caden Cox. You were very well-spoken using person-first language among other things. Proud of you for that and applaud you for it!

What a fun video. Makes me want to rewind the clock and look at myself to say, "what's your excuse, dork?" True inspiration these men are.

The last one made me cry 😭 R.I.P Jared Lorenzen

We had a cat on my High School football team. he was 6'8", over 400Lb. But in our case, he had one of those helicopter moms. She was at every practice, bothering the hell out of the coaches at the end of practice...all of that. The effect was, she turned this monster of a kid...into a complete wimp. Coaches tried to start him anyway, just because of his size. But you would see it in the film every Monday morning. For about one series of downs, the D-line would respect this kid and try to maneuver around him. But after about 3 or 4 plays, he had always exposed himself and they realized he was the weak link in our line. They'd just start going right at him and he'd go backwards like he was on skates. When he was in the game, the defense knew that every play we ran was going to the other side. Halfway through the season coach gave up on him and parked him on the bench. The lesson, to all of you wanna be soccer moms whose sons opt for football: Step aside, and let the coaches make a man out of your boys. You can take the biggest kid on the planet and turn him into a wimp by overprotecting him. Helicopter Moms...you are crippling your kids.

Let's not forget Kenny Walker of the Denver Beoncos in the 90s. He was the first deaf person on defense.💯

What a respectful ass ending. This is why I love nfl fans. We’re bonded through hardship and own struggles of playing the sport ourselves. Rip Jared!!

A full ride to a D1 school is an amazing accomplishment for anyone for real. To get one as a player with one arm is next level ! Very Impressive ! All of these stories are impressive. There should be more content like this. Well done Man.

I love hearing stories like these. It only proves NOTHING can stand in the way of your dreams except your own self.

Incredible video! The man with no legs that accomplished so much I really admire that underdog story! Absolutely incredible! ❤

that was roughing the passer, she "killed" him😂

Wow I remember when someone was too tall to join the nfl

I’m just laughing at the thumbnail🤣 also mad the thumbnail wasn’t included in the video 😂

"this 7ft giant was too big for the nfl" proceeds to talk about everything but the 7ft giant except for like 90 seconds of the video.

The Jake Olson story brought a tear to my eye. Love it

Rest easy jared. Your legacy stays in our hearts on the Feild ❤️🙏🏻🔥

amazing video. I don't even follow football and I enjoyed the hell out of this. Excellent, short, sweet, but not too short narratives of each player and then just ending on that last guy, Jared. Made me want to do better/try harder. Much appreciated.

Thank you for this video, as European I never watched NFL but this gave me chills, RIP Lorenzen

When you've maxed out your Human Spirit!!! This video made my day! Thank you for uploading!

Let’s go my Steelers nation!

18:05 I love how they all gang up on him lol

It's insane how i feel like i cant go on when things compared to this seem so insignificant. These people have the heart of true warriors. I wish I was at least half of relentless as these women and men.

I remember seeing Jared on the news because I live in the area he lived in and it was so sad rip

Thanks for sharing this, very inspirational!

James Connor.❤ I'm a Steeler fan, & I will never have anything but live & respect for that man. Glad to see him playing well in Arizona.

1 HOUR GANG🔥🔥

Missed opportunity to put Shaquem Griffin in there. Dude actually played in the NFL with 1 hand, and got to play with his twin brother on the Seahawks.

Jared was the best QB i played against in highschool. No one could get a hand on him, super elusive, cannon of an arm. Started both QB and on defense. His blue birds destroyed our home coming our senior year. Was an honor to play the game with you, sir!

That legless guy brought me to tears, what an inspirational human being.

Derrick Coleman is also the only legally deaf NFL player to have a Super Bowl Ring

Jared Lorenzen is quite the story. RIP Pillsbury Throwboy.

Jared played against my High school when I was younger in state playoffs, I watched him every game in blue, he was the most exciting QB a Kentucky highschool or college has ever had. Even though Tim was the best to play IMO at Kentucky as bringing the most excitement and second best UK QB on the list it was Jared.

Pillsbury Throw Boy is the best name EVER

That short guy looks like Tyree Hill he's beast af

These legends inspire me.

All these peeps are legends fr

The 4 ft guy looks like a mini Tyreek Hill with short hair 😂

When the narrator said, "Tom Dempsey knew his foot was a literal brick", and then Tom kicked the football a gazillion miles; I had so much happiness in my heart, and I was immediately overwhelmed with an overflow of joyful emotion. I really loved this video so very much. Each and every person who magnificently appeared, one by one, are truly inspiring, and are an amazingly awesome reminder of a perfect creation by our Loving God in the Heaven above. May God Bless each and every one of their miraculous souls with everything that is filled with happiness, peace, joy, and especially Love.

R.I.P Jared Lorenzen 1981-2019 he sadly died on my birthday july 3rd

These are very heart warming

This is exactly how I play Madden. For every player. Lots of menu work before you even start playing but it's fun! lol

Excellent video. Im not the biggest football fan mainly cause of the way the NFL operates but, I like these unique stories in sports. People overcome a lot to fulfill their dreams!

That dude with no legs is crazy man, can you imagine pitching to that dude strike zone would be ridiculous😊

Jared Lorenzen is a legend. Rest in Peace big man.

Chris Singleton made it to the NFL as a 1st round pick of the Patriots in 1990 despite only having one kidney. He donated the other to his twin brother while in college.

Now we need to find an invisible man.😂😂😂

It felt like such a sad ending to so many heartwarming stories.. Why you gotta bring me up and then drop me? This video has no right giving me the feels!

BANGER

Love your video and keep up the great work

30 minute gang👇

Man....put Dave Stevens in at RB1. Without knees....hell never be down by contact! All jokes aside.....fascinating story. True inspiration for anyone who complains that "life is tough". Definitely want to learn more about this amazing dude.

Dam Kody, you all impress me way beyond. im old Kody, all of you are outstanding, my friend at your age my god you really touched my heart it's a very sad story for me because of the hit that took you. But man, you have a special gift like others on this video, but my prayers will always be with you and the others, Kody.❤ you are definitely a wonderful young man. And like I stated me very old alot of injuries were I was told I would never walk again 15 years ago without crutches ever pain, yes, but it's all good she still loves me. May God bless you always.

That was awesome. These kids refused to take no for an answer

I'm seriously impressed with that blind guy.

I did not know Jared Lorenzen had passed away. That guy was actually pretty damn good at UK back in the day, and very entertaining to watch.

Back in the late 80s there was a guy in my gym that was so big and strong, I thought he could pick me up and throw me. He was at least 6'5 (cant remember but he towered over me and I was about 6feet) and weighed 450 pounds but was the strongest guy I ever saw. He went out for the Houston Oilers but they cut him quickly when they could not fit him in shoulder pads and it was found out he was on serious juice. Still, they said he was unblockable.

Dallas Cowboys had an All-Pro LT Flozell Adams who was def. Committed a lot of false starts but was rarely beaten off the line and rarely if ever held.

I live in Missoula, MT across the Clark Fork River from the University of Montana. I remember when Alex Hurlburt was here, 2022 was his last year.

Although it's very heartwarming, playing football with the guy with one leg is dangerous. If he's involved in a tackle and goes down, it's possible someone could get get impaled by that prosthetic running blade he uses. It doesn't have to be sharp or pointy to cause some serious damage. If that thing goes into someone's head or chest while a player happens to fall onto it and into another player, that's going to hurt real bad. That would be like a punt returner holding the ball in one hand and carrying a ski in the other.

These dudes that overcame their physical challenges are fing BEASTS!!!!

The one handed player was one of my coaches at a camp the Griz held. He was and inspiration and an amazing player

Jake Olsen 100% looks like he could be related to Gregg Olsen

Derrick Coleman is a legend🏆

I didn't know Lorenzen passed.😢 Very sad. I remember his rookie season. Thought it was way cool for such a big guy to play QB. RIP.

I remember this absolute behemoth of a man only being able to play in college and lower levels because he was exactly 560 pounds ah yes

Good job Cody, keep going!

But you ain't got no legs lieutenant Dan!!😂😂😂

Rest in Peace 🙏 Hefty Lefty Jared Lorenzen

Excellent, awe inspiring vid!!

we ❤️ rebound

when people say you can''t. all you do is move forward, turn your back and say ""WATCH ME!""

RIP big boi. Have fun at that big buffet in the sky.

honestly the day I heard Jared Lorenzen died it was a really sad day for me cause I had lost my dog the day prior and I loved watching his highlights just sad he couldn't get off the food every since he died I I've spent god knows how much money trying to pull a golden ticket in madden to make him Immortal with that Gold 99

RIP Jared Lorenzen

I know I wasnt the only confused one when he said Jason Carter at 8:13 😂

Rebound ur contents a W

As an Alabama fan, Seth McLaughlin, you see even a blind man can snap the ball better than you! Lol!!!!!!

The comedy gold of adding a female athelete to the list of handicapped atheletes! 🤣🤣

Dempsey played for the Saints.

the question whats the number on that bus after getting hit must of been asked at lease a few times lol

One hour Gang👇🏿

Imagine being to big for the literal NFL 💀💀💀

Junior should have played nose tackle. Linebackers would have loved him. Those schools didn't know what they had.

There was aguy I went to high school with that couldn't play football because his head was so big they couldn't find a regulation helmet to fit. Was about 6 4' and 280 but not fat and built like a viking. Nice guy with a big ol' jack o latern noggin.

12:20 he’s like damn… d…d… damn meme

...but what did "No-Legs" er...'run' his 40-time in? He's still probably faster than Dan Marino was lol

Believe in yourself have strength & confidence ❤️‍🔥

"His first season he was killing it, making field goal after field goal." - Not really. Dempsey was only 22/41 (53%) in his rookie year.

Respect to all of these footballers🙏🙏🙏

Rip Jared, you inspire me🫡

The one that surprised me the least was the 4' 9" running back. Short guys are usually super-agile.

Dave Steven's the legend

I needed a video like this today. Hell we need these every day. GREAT work.

Awesome vid

14:10 chills

Great video Rebound Football.
