UFL & YouTube Star Deestroying Fractured Neck On Tackle, Possibly Out For The Season | Pat McAfee 

what kinda park to they need to take though...i mean you can walk through the park and you can jog in the park...you can picnic in the park...or you can just put the car in park....i dont know how that helps a kicker.

they teach kickers to be the LAST line of defense and go for the legs. Not to run full speed past your team and run head first into a guy

@@jwhite601you’re so hilarious bro sheesh 🤓

I'll go to the park

Look at some Pat highlights 😂 he did some shoulder headish tackles. ​@@work4whatyouwant477

He broke his fricken neck😂

@@blakeszafran4987 From tackling someone?

@@blakeszafran4987 He's halfway to an Olympic gold medal!

@@Gaming.Labs_GL Yes because he lowered his head so his head made first contact that force has to go somewhere

@@Qballl How are we supposed to tackle?

Could’ve ended up like Jason Street.. paralyzed and best friend starts boning your gf.. Now that’s laying it on the line!

@@user-zp4xp3hq8i yall are hell man🤣🤣🤣

Everyone who has ever played football has seen Friday night lights bro.

@@Killacam1992 Well you'd think, with a lifetime of playing football, at least at some level he laid a tackle and got told, "Dont lead with your head"

@@steffenh4775 of course he did that’s why he literally took ownership of making a poor tackle and leading with his head in the post..

Also remember don’t shoot head first!

Riddle speed flex all the way

Can't believe we got the CEO of Riddell in these comments! Or are you just one of his cronies that's paid to toss out a bunch of "data" that no one cares to follow up on?

@@ultimatechickenhorsesweat2614 every kid an ankle biter now lol

Ankle bitter for life bro bc why risk hurting yourself? If anybody getting hurt it’s the guy I’m hitting I’m sorry in advance but it’s the name of the game.

yes because it was in the title of the video that it will happen

you're so hilarious, a real knee slapper har har har

Looks like he deestroyed his cervical spinal column

Kurt Angle won a gold medal in the Olympics with a broken neck.

That’s what the pansy ass doctors who get paid to be pansies and complain will tell you. Ballers just ball out with broken necks 😂

To be fair, AJ is not a normal human.

​@@eddieprieto6511 yeah well he was lucky. If you do enough damage that your spine slips it will cut your spinal chord and end up paralyzed for sure.

He didn’t know he broke his neck til they did a MRI on him. He did note he a a tingling feeling going down his left arm that got worse as th game went. He played the entire game, including a kickoff afterward where he tried to kill the game clock but left the Showboats with 1 second.

More like a peewee football player

That why most kickers run them to the sideline and not tackle, his teammates would’ve had him, I respect it but it’s not uncommon to protect yourself as a kicker, if you want to risk a tackle go for it, but running them to the sideline is the best you can do even if no one is behind you

All he had to do was put his head across the player

​@DG-420 That was the 1st thing noticed. He never made an attempt to get shoulder across.

Yea he coulda just pushed the guy out of bounds.

😂🤣😂

well hes been away from hs ball for close to 10 years just bad habits happen just gotta fix it up

He didn't forget. He went for it. He wasnt trippin off that.just bad form. You're talking like he got trucked and got his neck broke. Nope he was the one in the mix

☠️☠️☠️

Take this down bruhh🤣🤣

Loser

Dawg......😂😂😂😂😂😂

You’re a clown

He broke his neck. Out for the season, might be the end of his NFL jurney and your making jokes like that? Ur weird bro.

​@@plyy3601yes, he should have learned how to tackle. He had his chance and blew it. Oh well life moves on.

He's gonna look like a bobblehead running those routes ☠️

​@@Reflextive7034seek therapy dawg

What old people in nursing homes. 😂 this dudes to much of a liability. He’s done

I mean he was never a really good kicker anyways and then their was another kicker in the UFL setting records on field goals lol he was doomed from the start

Nah that was a freak accident how do you figure he's a liability? He plays with his heart.

@bruceleez5292 it's just like how the colts are terrified about Richardsons future. People that play like that get hurt unnecessarily and a team would rather have given up another 3 yards then risk their kicker all season.

@@bruceleez5292freak accident? He dove headfirst into the guy, if that’s how he tackles it’s gonna keep happening

Yeah but this dude was also telling everyone “it would be a pay cut to join the nfl… idk wanna play for them anymore”.

If a regular defensive player had made that tackle using their head, I doubt the result would have been a broken neck

Sucks that he is probably feeling like he needs to prove something. He has heart but the pressure of his second game probably didn't have him thinking calmly. That injury was imo easily avoidable just went all neck no brain lol

Way to not be funny.. that's fucked up.

​@@aaronmoes6572not more fucked up than dees neck 😂😂

Calm down​@@aaronmoes6572

Poor Rich Boy

@@aaronmoes6572get over yourself

He ran off moving his head around to see it was still attached 😂😂😂

All black kids are not the same lol 😂 that was ISHOWSPEED

well he doesnt play defense bruh lmao he can play wide reciever if he wanted to but dont he plays offense not defense so no wonder they never taught tackling on the offense maybe have common sense

WR lol dude he is a youtuber.. All of this is clickbait haha sorry your boyfriend isn't going to make it to the NFL...

@@scubathesteve bro ik he is a youtuber bro but do you even know him he has played kicker in college and stuff yea but he is fast and can play wr if he wanted to bro look at his vids he could cook people bro he can play WR if he wanted to but he is a kicker ik and he never has played defense

​@@scubathestevewhat is clickbait? He is a good kicker and he deserve à spot in the ufl atleast

cool I was a kicker in college... What does that mean? He should stick to kicking haha! He shouldn't be trying to tackle people period.. If he could played WR he would absolutely be playing WR lol come on dude we are talking about amateur football here.. This is obviously just a hobby for the guy so no need to risk an injury! There is probably more competition at the age 50 softball league down the street from my house

His career isn’t over it’s just on pause once he is fully recovered and heals he is back at it

​​@@kaptainkaoz6656neck injuries never recover 100%. High risk he injures himself again.

Scared

Bro is 27 and tackles like a 12 year old. College football players and NFL players tackle with their heads all the time but they have also been playing football nonstop for forever and their bodies are conditioned for it.

It’s the same reason professional boxers can take grueling punches and hits to the head over and over again. They literally train their neck so they are conditioned for hits like that.

I'm right with you on that.

I think people are fans of his content, so that’s why they want him to do well… But as an actual kicker, I don’t think he is that spectacular. He couldn’t make it in the CFL, and he was only a kick off specialist at UCF before he left college.… He is far and above the average person as a kicker and is even better than a lot of D1 kickers, but I don’t think he is consistent enough to be a pro

Never asked

So what??

he played college football already lol

This has nothing to do with it 😂😂😂 he’s just never been taught how to tackle he’s good at kicking and hes a kicker 😂😂😂 when was the last time you saw a kicker with elite form

Not really. It’s just practice the right form. Kickers don’t typically get a lot of reps in making proper tackles of course.

Not sure what’s funny about a guy fracturing his neck

Depending on how bad the fractures are. I read that the fractured his neck in two places. There have been people who have recovered a broken neck in 3-9 months. Hopefully he heald quick but yeah he definitely done this season

Brahmas stock just decreased significantly

Mfer he’s never played defence of course he won’t know how to tackle

@@vinnievinnie-sj5kr I mean, as a professional football player, he should know how to tackle or at least not break his freaking neck.

@@BigBoyJay_69 mfer he’s a kicker🤣🤣🤣

@@vinnievinnie-sj5kr i've seen plenty of kickers tackle. I've never seen one break his neck. This guy didn't belong on the field.

Earned what respect? He’s a princess that never played a real position. That’s why he did it wrong.

@@PD-we8vf Even a punter/field goal kicker has an important position in the game of Football itself. They can change the tide of a game in a instant pinning the opponent deep near the end zone or even help win game due to a last second field goal. Sometimes on a rare occasion they also make tackles to help conclude a play on the field. As for the respect there are many reasons for why he has earned mine. One of those reasons has to do with his character and the journey of what it took for him to even get the opportunity to even earn a spot in the UFL. For those not aware Deestroying choose to forfeit his ability to play Collage Football due to a dispute with using his NIL ( NIL= Name, Image, Likeness ) with RU-vid videos.. ( Keep in mind with what's happened to EA Sports Collage Video Games today for example. With a recent court ruling EA must now get permission with using a player's likeness and the athlete be paid for there use. ) After making the choice of forfeiting Collage Football he went on continuing to use his influence with making RU-vid Videos earning a phenomenal amount of viewers. Later on Deestroying would go on to make these football contest videos allowing athletes to showcase an opportunity. One of those showcased in these videos would be Wide Receiver Jahcour Pearson ( aka Peezyy ) . As a result of these videos it would help Jahcour earn a spot in the 2023 XFL season to play XFL Seattle Sea Dragons. Deestroying was also involved in another influential way in the XFL 2023 season by making guest appearances as the season progressed. When it came time for the sudden merger of the UFL he had a chance to try out. He made it. He even beat a really good punter that surprised many just for him to earn his roster spot on the San Antonio Brahmas team. In one article I read he mention that even though he has his RU-vid career for him it wasn't fulfilling. His dream was to play in Professional Football and now he was happy to have it fulfilled at last. During an interview while on the sidelines for his first Week 1 game when asked about his preparation he said the following: "It changed a lot. I'm a real football player now," De La Haye said. "I don't just go out to the field and film videos, so, it changed a lot. I gotta get up, practice, take care of my body. Obviously, do my thing with the team and be professional." One of those professional things he did for his team was making a game saving tackle that helped in the possible prevention of a returning Touchdown by the opponent. The San Antonio Brahmas would go on to win this game. Who knows if that might have been the same outcome if Deestroying didn't make this tackle for his team. Now after reading this about Deestroying and if this the first time learning these things about him I truly hope you see why now that I will always appreciate his contribution to the sport itself. Thanks for reading.

Bad form from a princess that never played the game.
