Besides the make-up and wig, the QB's thought him to be a danger of taking their job. Everyone talks about loving competition until your coach says that the QB talent on the team isn't enough, so we're bringing in the "Transfer." The new guy is talking smack about their teammates, so emotion was probably clouding their minds.....These same loyal guys must have been messed up thinking how good Goff actually was and what that might mean for their season...lol
Watched it again, it’s even better the second time around. They did a GREAT job pulling this off.
In addition to LoyalRam’s valid points, I’d also add the following things which helped “sell” it:
—#18, Tavon’s cousin, killed it. Great job firing ppl up to get pissed.
—coach had Jared run the stairs in the bleachers, further confirming that he was the new guy “transfer”
—ridiculous headgear further hid his face a bit
—key point: Most of the guys—the 40+guys on the sidelines— never saw Jared up close until the very end.
Awesome video, awesome prank. Goff’s insults were hilarious. This video is going to show up a time or two during broadcasts this fall, for sure.
