Zach Mettenberger: Modern Football

Obviously, Brandon has never been the most talented or athletic individual compared to his football peers. Throughout his entire life, Brandon was told that his football career would amount to nothing. He was told that he was too “short” and too “fat” to ever be good. Instead of listening to what everyone had to say about his future, Brandon decided to defy the odds and determine his own fate. Determined to strive for excellence, Brandon persevered through adversity and refused to let the negative remarks of anyone bring him down. Through hard work and dedication to the game, Brandon continued getting better until he could reach the next level and make it to the pros.

Tebow began to gain national recognition as a highly touted recruit during his junior year. He became well known for his football abilities, as well as for being an intense competitor with a will to win unlike any other. These attributes lead top-notch college football programs to his doorstep in an attempt to recruit him for their school. As a junior in high school “He ran the 40 in 4.69 seconds and the agility shuttle in 4.16 seconds. He bench-pressed 185 pounds 38 times, and he jumped 32 inches from a standstill. His Sparq Rating-a statistic that combines measurements of speed, strength and power-was 96.9, off the charts for a quarterback” (Staples). It is clear that Tebow had a unique set of skills, which combined with his height and weight seemed to be unparalleled. Florida, Alabama, Michigan LSU and USC all offered Tebow a scholarship to play football

One of the player in New York jets of the National football League, named Michael Vick, he is an American football quarterback. He was the best American football team player, who got awarded for many prizes and trophies. Every time he played football for his team’s match, he played well, which made him to gain one hundred thirty million per ten year. He got praised from other football team members and from his fan. He was accepted to be a good football player from many people and he put hard effort to achieve in his life. However, he lost a lot of money he have earned before and people started to dislike him after he secretly made some trouble for six years that he should not do as a star player of America. What kind of fault did he make?

Nfl wide receiver Julio Jones, who recently with his team the Atlanta Falcons to the Superbowl is the role model to many, but wasn’t always a Nfl player. Julio Jones grew up in Foley and “is a product of Foley High School in Foley, Alabama”, where his football career started. In his high school career, he was rated a five-star recruit by Rivals.com. He was constantly swarmed by recruiters from top colleges and his success shows

Marshawn Lynch (as you saw in the last page) is my favorite football player. He plays for the Seattle Seahawks, he’s number 24 and is a running back. His numbers in rushing yards are amazing, he has over 9,000 yards just by running and 74 touchdowns. He has 9 receiving touchdowns with 1,900 yards. He is known as “Beast Mode,” for breaking many tackles and running through whoever’s in front of him. He got sponsored by the candy called skittles, he would eat them before his games, on the side lines, and even after the game. He loved them, and obviously they were his favorite candy Skittles realized this and decided to sponsor him. He retired May 21, 2016, at the age of 30.

Different quarterbacks have different strengths and weaknesses, and each one is better suited for a particular playing style. Quick and athletic quarterbacks for example are able to go on a run before throwing passes, while others prefer to stay behind their offensive linemen and pass the ball. Others are better at throwing the ball long distances, others short. Their whole skillset is defined by attributes such as acceleration, strength, throw power etc. When selecting your team, bear in mind that your quarterback should suit your playing style. Remember to always check his stats and make your decision based on whether he is the right player for you or not.

Dustin played football and did track during his high school career. He did shotput and discuss and is still a phenomenal thrower. In football, he played was a lineman. He tells me his team did a specific play where one game he tackled someone so hard it made him go airborne. That same play was what caused him to have a messed up neck.

“I got bored,” head coach Dana Holgorsen joked. “I looked over to the sidelines and I said, ‘He’s made a whole bunch of plays, he’s made a whole bunch of plays, he’s made a whole bunch of plays and he’s made a whole bunch of plays, they never played together, so I said to Jake (offensive coordinator Jake Spavital), ‘Get those guys out there.’”

“Brett Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of professional football. You are judged by winning, and he’s won more games than any other quarterback who has ever played. But I will remember him just as well for being such a fierce competitor and outstanding leader. He was the face of the Packers and a great credit to our game. It was an honor to coach against him.”(Mike Shanahan, Denver Broncos Head Coach) Brett’s passion for the game, and winning history, together earned him the respect of the entire football nation. I am going to give you a summary of this incredible athlete’s life, covering both the ups and downs of his bumpy road to success. I am using factual

Michael Bennett has a reputation for outspoken views on NFL contemporaries. Those opinions are known to skew negative (See: Jay Cutler is "the worst quarterback in the NFL."). Which makes his adoration of former Texas A&M teammate Ryan Tannehill, only one of the most polarizing quarterbacks in football, all the more surprising. "Tannehill was the best athlete at our school," Bennett said, according to ESPN.com. "Better than Von (Miller). Better than me. My brother (Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett) would argue that, but Tannehill was one of the best athletes I've even seen. He ran a 4.4. He could do every type of dunk. He was just cool. He was just a smooth, cool guy.

JJ Watt’s journey to the NFL was not easy. He had to go through many struggles. Justin James Watt was born on March 22, 1989 in Pewaukee, Wisconsin and was the oldest out of his two other brothers. JJ Watt played football in highschool and in 2007 he went to Central Michigan as a tight end. Watt claims that growing up in Wisconsin meant liking the Wisconsin Badgers, so at a very young age JJ Watt had always idolized them and wanted to play for them. Unfortunately he didn't get a scholarship offer from Wisconsin, so when he played at Central Michigan. He knew his passion for wanting to play for Wisconsin, so he transferred to Wisconsin to play football, but since he wanted to play football he would have to sit out for a season. To keep him busy

His junior year was a little better with a record of 9-3 (“Doug Flutie” Stats 1). The Boston Eagles in 1983 were good enough to make the liberty bowl. They lost 19-18 to Notre Dame in the liberty bowl. Doug was still drawing very little interest from NFL clubs. His senior season would put him on the radar of all NFL scouts. His senior season was one of the best seasons a quarterback has ever had. Doug led the Eagles to a 10 - 2 record and a cotton bowl win over houston. His stats for that year were astonishing, he threw for over 3,500 yards and threw 30 touchdowns (“Doug Flutie” Stats

Well, Bucs fans, the long wait and suffering without NFL football is almost over. Next week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally start off the 2017 regular season with an away game in Miami. The Dolphins have a solid team overall. Their starting Quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, is out for the season, which caused the organization to acquire Jay Cutler, who worked together with Miami's Head Coach Adam Gase in Chicago. Oft-criticized Cutler will certainly play with a chip on his shoulder and try to prove all his critics wrong. He won't make it easy on our Defense and he worries me more than Tannehill would. Miami's young Running Back Jay Ajayi had a breakout season last year, keeping him in check will be a key to our defensive success.

They had let go of coach Ben Howland, and looked to assign a new man to run the team. Zach was a fan of Howland and was slightly let down with his dismissal. Yet, he still saw the school as the one he would love to attend. "I was really disappointed," said LaVine. "I had a good relationship with (Howland) and his staff. They know my game and I was really looking forward to going in there and helping them. I wish them the best. It's tough because I want to stay at UCLA; I really didn't have a second choice in my recruitment. We'll just have to see what happens. I'll have to see who they hire." Like he had told reporters that day in March of 2013, his choice depended on the newly-appointed coach. Throughout his time visiting schools, Zach established relationships with Coaches Lorenzo Romar (former UCLA coach and coach for University of Washington at the time) and Mark Few (coach for Gonzaga University). With UCLA as his #1 school, Zach still considered attending colleges in his home state of Washington. The Bruins went on to recruit Steve Alford as their coach. Steve was the father of Zach’s soon-to-be teammate and fellow freshman Bryce Alford. Alford had a positive reputation as a coach having led his former team, the Manchester University Spartans, to a nearly

Being a quarterback can be a hard job. You are usually making hard designs. You are constantly leading your team to victory. If you mess up, it could put the whole team at risk. That’s why quarterback is probably the hardest football position.
