My dad told me that I didn't owe him or my mom for raising me, that was their job, I didn't ask to be here. He said you keep your money, if your momma need some money that's my job, I didn't raise you to raise me. I made sacrifices for you, you make those same sacrifices for your kids, you don't owe me a house a car or nothing. Now that's what a real man sounds like. 👏

The ESPN reporter was wrong for blitzing that kid with those questions like that

[bigdaddyroy]

The reporter was wrong but by answering those questions at that time with the class that Copeland did will speak volumes to a nfl team looking for a solid player that is mature and handles things well under pressure

Welcome to Maryland Jacob, stay focused n do your thing, we got u.

[Kjai]

He actually just transferred to Maryland!! As a Marylander we welcome you! I just pray Baltimore doesn’t pull him in!!

[msdrika]

Glad someone finally gave mom’s side of the story. Thanks for sharing

[ScarySnippet]

I hope for the best for this young man. I love hearing stories like this. Jacob go out a kick butt!

She shouldn't have walked away, no matter how she felt about his decision...
Imagine accomplishing something so huge in your life and your Mother is disappointed...

That sounds crazy!

She’s a good mother. She doesn’t want to see her son in prison or dead.

Mother leaving MAKES ALOT OF SENSE NOW.

Before I came here I looked up his bio and as he was from Florida of a single mom. And I only have one child and there are threatening outlets in my community that want to take hold of out kids. I wouldn’t want my child to stay in it either so I half understood her frustration and I understood his pain at the end of the day. I was happy she was able to help herself out her feelings and still support her son and ensure his safety.

Yet the video of her leaving is still out there being bigger than the real reason!! This needs to go up more

The cold-blooded gang violence is on another level in FL. The younger generation of boys are extra reckless- all over social media, bragging about killing their *enemies* - (whatever that word conceptually means in the eyes of a teenage boy).
The pre-frontal cortex hasn't even fully developed and these *kids* got a gun in their hand and zero concept of future consequenses.
Trap Lore Ross's YouTube channel does an excellent deep dive into Florida's youthful gang wars and goes over the albums with self-incriminating lyrics on SoundCloud.
One thing is devastatingly true- most lack fathers or that one "uncle" figure to role model after and knock some sense into them. Tragically, It's always the unaffiliated members of the community that get caught in the cross hairs and suffer extreme collateral damages! Victims of geographic proximity 😥💔

So what this shows, is anyone that thought the wrong, like I did, should realize they were ignorant on believing their inner narrative. I appreciate you helping me see my wrongs, and I hope the best for this family.

Mom could have had a wave of overwhelming emotions come over her and didn't want to burst into tears on live tv. I personally respect her for the fact she cared about her TEENAGE son.
It's too easy to judge. That's why you all do it out of the comfort of your couch.

[trefadez]

Everyone tried to look at his mom like she was a bad person but in actuality she cared so much she was mad.

[goudaguerrilla]

Imagine making the biggest moment of your kid’s life about yourself.

[JimDJules]

2:50 idk why the reporter asked those questions I mean you can obviously see that that was someone close to him and that they were both hurt.

[DSDaly]

Sad. As a mom you hold it together then express your disappointment afterwards in PRIVATE. She took his special moment and made it about herself and completely ruined it.

After all that he still ended up on a championship team in the NFL
