lol, the record against UW
I love this man! Dudes also such a pleasure to see on and off the field!
I’ve been waiting 4 years to see John’s body of work and it’s better than I ever ever imagined. The dude built the nations top program from his first day on campus. great teammate, lethal player, first overall draft pick in any conceivable situation. Congrats on an incredible career. can’t wait to see the finale.
Here’s a story about this guy. JR never eats tomatoes. Doesn’t like how they look, smell, and most of all, how they taste. A pure tomato hater.
So it was late one night and we were eating in the cafeteria and this guy, let’s call him Marty, was trying to get him to eat a tomato, just because. But of course JR won’t touch the thing, he hates those little red vegetables with a passion. So Marty turns to me and says, with a glint in his eye: watch this.
Marty looks at JR and says, ya know, Johnny Buckets, tomatoes will make you better at frisbee. JR looks confused, and says, really? (JR is very gullible). Marty says yes, I mean it.
Then, and I kid you not, the most amazing thing happened. JR GOBBLED that tomato like a bear eating a hamburger. I’ve never seen a thing like it. It looks like he’s gonna puke because he hates tomatoes so much but he eats it in one bite because he thinks it’ll make him better at ultimate. Then he asks everyone at the table for their tomatoes and they give it to him because he’s Johnny buckets and how are you not gonna give him a tomato. Next thing you know he’s downing a bottle of ketchup. It was, honestly, the most inspiring thing I’ve ever seen. The next day he got 7 layout Ds at practice and was even more unguardable than usual. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think it worked.
So if you see JR at a tournament, chomping some tomatoes with a grimace on his face, you’ll know why. If that’s not dedication to his craft I don’t know what is. Buckets for Callahan.
John had so many clips that editing this made me run out of Hard Drive Storage
no way john is still in college and is stealing my callahan song. lfg boy
There’s no one scarier to guard and spirited on the field. JR deserves the Callahan a million times over!
So does he really squat 600lbs?
The list at the end is insane.
Most impressive clip to me is when he's just getting so aggressively fouled, arms and everything lol, at 3:41 but still maintains body position and boxes his defender out for the score. His jump cuts are elite, but this one hits diff for me.
Ain’t no way this dude isn’t winning this year. Deserves it too!
I feel for the UMass defender at 3:10. "I know I should catch it, please leave me alone"
"He has chromosomes in his body that belong to a bengal tiger"
The two most untouchable things are John in the handler set and the record John set at chicken finger friday for most fings downed. John lives "always compete" to the max
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start 🤝
John Randolph took me in and raised me when I was an abandoned lost child. He could’ve just fed me and left, but instead he taught my hunter-gatherer frisbee skills so I would be able to fend for myself and become the gamer I am today.

From the moment we caught John listening to Drops of Jupiter as pump up music for one of his track workouts, we knew he was gonna be different
The buildup and drop at 0:43 made my balls drop and grow wings #redbull
This is the best callahan video of the year from what I've seen. The cuts are so explosive and the fakes at the beginning so convincing.
Cracked
Whoever is editing Browns Callahan tapes needs a raise. Bangers
No brainer callahan winner. Been waiting on this video for 5 years.
Did not like playing with or against this guy. Regardless, you cannot deny he is the best male on all fronts in the college game right now.
was he called in or out at :36 sec? (just wondering considering a line judge was standing right there) slow mo showed he had his hand down first outside the end zone then his right foot touched…. and thus straddling the line..
I remember watching him play at nationals for high school, I can't imagine now.
congrats
Had the absolute privilege of meeting and trading shirts with him at U24s: one of the top players in the world imo, unmarkable, unshakable, and a genuinely lovely person. Give this man a Callahan already.
Bros out here cooking everyone in a hoodie
Just.. wonderful.
He won!
I won MVP over JR in 7th grade. This could have been me
