The #1 Ranked QB That Threw his Career Away. Blake Barnett's Story (update)

Video starts at 4:36 you are welcome. Matt likes to Yap about nothing at the start of every video as we all know

The reason Jalen Hurts stayed for the whole season was so he didn't get his schoolwork interrupted. Student first, athlete second. Worked out pretty well for him.

Some people will never understand being good at something.But your heart just isn't in it anymore

This is not meant to be shade in any way; he seems like the kind of guy with solid, wealthy parents and probably didn't need an NFL payday to do just fine in life. Seems like he made the right decisions he could at the time and has turned out to be a solid dude. You love to see it.

Being a rich pro football player is not the pinnacle of success! The dude happened to play football and be good at it! He also happened to be a great husband, father, and grill master! People need to stop projecting what they think a successful life is! He looks happy, his family looks happy, and he looks to be successful with his business! The rest of yall who hate on him can kick rocks

People who live in cold states never want to realize most athletes don’t want to live in cold states 😂

Great kid came to terms with his career and moved on with his life nothing but respect !!

When he committed to Notre Dame, he was 4th, but when he decommitted and committed to Bama, he became number one without any improvements. shitty rankings

It takes a great deal of character to be humble enough to know when to walk away from anything...

He's a winner 🏆

That was the problem with going to alabama in the saban years. You better perform and do it quick

kelly bryant former clemson qb went to missouri haven’t heard a thing since

Great job! Never heard of thisguy before but I have a lot of respect for him after seeing this well made video.

Matt, I have been following you for sometime now. First thanks for this video! I always wondered what happened to Bama starting QB who was ahead of Jalen Hunts. As I recalled that year Bama Offensive Line was not good. Blake was suppose to be a stud but without blockers he looked suspect! If Jalen Hurts first read wasn't open he would just run. Without a QB spy that threw off the defense and made Jalen looked like a stud. With Blakes injury he did what was best for him and his family. Once again thanks for everything you do. ROLL TIDE!

You can say what you want, but Barnett was just making excuses. He came from money, and when it was shown that he was clearly overrated from the rankings, he moved on 3 separate times before an injury said, "im done." Dude never had any real love for football and you can see that.

I remember that game clearly, when the camera showed a close up when Bama had the ball, he had a deer in the headlight look. I knew he was done

Yo matt ima need ncaa 25 content😏

Bama fan here and a big Blake Barnett supporter. I was so disappointed when he didn't win the starting job at Bama. Lane Kiffin was a great OC but he always favored the running QBs and not the pocket passers. As for Saban, I would point out that he had great relationships with other offensive players such as Hurts, Tua, Mac Jones, D Henry, etc, so I think that's not a fair statement. But Barnett is winning at life because he has a gorgeous wife and family, and he's got a good career. I'm glad he's doing well. The NFL may be flashy but it comes with a price, so I don't blame anyone for not having the desire to play in the NFL.

He alluded to the fact he didn’t sell out multiple times.. IF TOU DONT SELL OUT FOR YOURE PASSION.. SONEONE ELSE WILL!!
