The 23-year-old NFL star is one of the most promising players in the league. Speed thought it would be a good idea to attempt running past the pro footballer. In a surprising turn of events, it did turn out to be a good idea.
Fans were left impressed with IShowSpeed’s skills to run past Sauce Gardner
A video of the 19-year-old streamer went viral immediately when he attempted to try and run past Gardner. Speed showed great agility to successfully achieve the feat. Although many will argue that Gardner would never let such a thing happen on the field in a more serious environment. This was a small victory for Speed that he will always cherish.
Meanwhile, fans were also left impressed with Speed’s skills. Over the years, Speed has worked on his physique and has become extremely fit. With over 20 million subscribers on YouTube, he also became one of the most famous streamers, globally. Although many do not love his antics, he has earned great fame and money along the way.
Moreover, fans now believe he has a place in the NFL to go after. One fan wrote, “Get Speed in the league ASAP.” Another wrote, “Speed has to be in NFL.” Meanwhile, one fan wrote what we all were thinking, “Speed lived up to his name.” Due to his widely known love for soccer, Speed’s love for the NFL has gone under the radar.
IShowSpeed is a Cincinnati Bengals fan in the NFL
IShowSpeed has shown on multiple occasions that he is a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL. Speed has even done freestyle rap videos about the NFL.
What made his love for the Bengals clear is the fact that he has a poster of a Bengals helmet in his room. Moreover, during a stream, he was asked if he preferred the Chiefs. He responded with, “F*ck The Chiefs” and added “Bengals All Day”. Although Patrick Mahomes will not be too happy to hear that, Speed has the right to choose which team he wants to be a fan of.
