Sup everyone and welcome back to another "Rugby Player Reacts" reaction video!


My name is Jacob McDonald and I am a New Zealand born rugby player that has fallen in love with the great game of American Football. What I haven't done is turn my back on my own sport and it's my goal to bridge the two as much as I can through videos like this.


This sport is straight up fun. I've enjoyed every minute of discovering the world of American Football and it's rich history and for the past almost 3 years I have been bringing that journey of discovery to my YouTube channel, in it's entirety.


In this particular series of videos I have given my unbiased, unfiltered reaction to each and every one of The Top 100 NFL Players of 2020 and their individual player videos that are released each and every year on The NFL YouTube channel. This is the 3rd year in a row that I've done this series and I can see it becoming an annual thing no doubt.


In this video I take a look at EARL THOMAS who is an NFL SAFETY that plays for THE BALTIMORE RAVENS!


He was officially voted by his fellow NFL peers as Number 75 on The Top 100 NFL Players of 2020 list. Last year he did not feature on the list.


You can find the original video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF5Xsoi_QjE&list=PLRdw3IjKY2gk7bnzZHoqOu0kdnG96s5Di&index=26


At the end of the day I am a fan of sport. A huge fan. I am a fan of athletic ability. Raw talent. I am a fan of moments in sport that make the hair stand up on your neck.. (mine are right now) 


I love seeing bonds made between Fathers, Sons, Mothers, Daughters, Coaches, Players etc. I love seeing juke moves that make your jaw drop, blistering out-and-out speed, crunching blocks, runs and tackles that make you cringe. I love it all. 


It's only now having watched the sport for almost 3 years that these plays mean more than just the impact you see. I can start to notice the parts of the game that get missed in the lead up to a big play like that and that makes the game so much better.


I'm not saying I know everything. I never will! And neither will you lol.. But man this journey has been a fun one so far and I hope it never ends!


There was a reason I was meant to search up YouTube that fateful day and embark on this mission to bridge the two epic sports so that we can enjoy both, just like I do.


The story goes, on a fateful day back in May of 2018 I decided to bring up YouTube and search for exactly what the title of this video says. 


I wanted to find a rugby player out there that had taken an unbiased interest in American Football and could then give me some of their thoughts on the game and what the differences were.


To my surprise, that video did not exist ANYWHERE!


It was at that moment I decided to take it upon myself to be that person. I was going to be that rugby player that decided at 27 years of age to switch sports and dive DEEP into learning all I could about this new exciting sport.


I remember it well. I download my first screen recorder, turned on my camera, picked up my balls and went about creating my very first "Rugby Player Reacts to NFL" reaction video.


Thanks for watching and much love!
