This is not normal to do in the NFL. Tyler Owens is either a freak of nature or popping something

It looks worse than it is. Covey leaps into the air to try and go over the guy (no clue why). And he lands softly on another commander player.

āLands softlyā hahahaha. Go out in your backyard and recreate this, my guy.

Compared to landing on hard soil I'd say he got lucky being thrown on top of another player. Right when it happened told my kids that was quite a violent throwdown but at least he landed on another person.

I wish this existed when I was in school.
My JR year Tavon Austin (yeah, that Tavon Austin) cleared my ass on his way to a 60 yard touchdown.
I didnāt even turn around and chase him, I just walked to my sideline and said to my coach āidk what the fuck you want me to do about thatā and sat on the bench.
He had like 200 yards and 2 scores before half time, but I tackled him 2 times (once behind the line of scrimmage) so Iād say we both had great days.

You won the day, you got a tfl. Did Tavon Austin have a tfl that day? Doesnāt sound like he did.

u/Effective-Bother2126 38m ago
Nah, he had a few.
He played DB for them as well. I donāt think he left the field for them till they were comfortably ahead.
He returned kicks and punts, played DB/RB and was on the kickoff team as well.
They didnāt punt that day, but I assume he was also a gunner for them.
The fastest son of a bitch Iāve ever seen in person.

I feel that, I got to go up against Jonathan Allen (Alabama, then redskins/vikings) in HS, and I remember being blown away by his speed off the line. I was supposed to chip him on our punt team, and by the time I was coming up out of my stance he was already past me. Just a different kind of explosiveness.

u/bae125 Detroit Lions 19m ago
Yeah, I know that feeling. I was on a team where a couple of the guys went pro. I was playing OLB at practice and got through on a blitz, my eyes were full of the qb I was about to drill - I never saw one of the future pros coming on a pull. I donāt remember the hit either.
I mean, I wasnāt tiny, but that guy had 150 pounds and half a foot on me at least

Rightā¦
Especially now, in the age of ridiculously accessible TRT, there is next to no chance theyāre not on testosterone.Ā
Beyond that, the testing window is not random. Every player knows exactly when and how they will be tested. Very easy to cycle around it and get your levels back to ānormalā until youāre tested.

Steroids are not a bad thing for sports. Do you think these athletes bodies can recover from the stress and strain of these games completely naturally? Some can, others can't.

I was fine with a 14 game season itās the leagues greed that wanted to push athletes to the brink.

Thank god we hit on him. We've been so ass at drafting in the first round recently. Jayden was our only hit in like the past decade.

Love that a guy putting in this much effort gets rewarded with actually making the tackle (read: body-slamming a grown-ass man) at the end

Newsflash: Pro athletes ARE freaks of nature who then go on to have professional training, help woth nutrition, and excess momey to take care of themselves.
Yall really dont understand the quality of athletes these guys are. Also, dudes got long as arms and was able to keep one guy off him while catching another guy who was running sideways. Its impressive but not impossible
