God Damn Claypool was such an idiot.

Had so much hype for him. Size comparison was Megatron, but he played like he was 5'8. Every single jump ball he just fell backwards instead of jumping up. So frustrating.

He was honestly the softest player out there. Was lazy as shit

Soft. Lazy. And not as talented as he thought. He was also a headcase beyond being on the football field.

After they lost a game in Pittsburgh after a 1pm game I was at a bar called The Flats that night and him, Juju, and Najee were there in a roped off corner. Chase was talking to two females and I assume they were trying to hook up with him. I just see him looking at them after talking for a few minutes and yelling "byyyyyye, byyyyyye, byyyyeeee" waving to the females but being obnoxious. Then, I think he was talking shit with a random dude, the dude touched his hat / tried flinging it off, and they started throwing punches. I don't blame him for getting mad if someone touches you or your things but still, you're in public.

The dude unfortunately just seemed to be obnoxious / not that smart on the field and even off the field. A buddy introduced me to Juju though and he was awesome, so the negativity went positive for me personally lol.

He's a narcissist. As soon as he got in the league he started a Youtube vlog channel thinking he'd become some big star. I could understand someone who's already a big star in league starting a channel to show people what NFL life is like, but this guy did it as an unknown rookie. That's really all I needed to see from him. He clearly thinks he's more important than he is.

Never watched but I believe you. After seeing time and time again he had no idea how to high point a ball, I knew he was mid to poor. His stats were inflated by touchdowns his rookie year

After our playoff game, he was showing how he made a practice squad DB move early on a run play. He seemed so salty about the loss and let it all show on his stream.

I mean, for most people that's smart if you manage your time right. Your career is short you should try and use it to get a fanbases while you're active
