These guys are American football players who play for the GFL. They receive an additional income by making YouTube videos about their lives in Germany.
I do know where they're from, but I'd like to know if they have accents specific for certain areas of the US, thereby making it possible to identify where they might come from. Regarding one of them, that would be quite interesting as he has lived in several states.

Those accents are the very distinct Portland (Oregon), Irvine and Bakersfield (California) accents, respectively.

Did you look it up where they come from, or have you really identify it by their accents? Tongue

One of them was born and raised in Texas. Can anybody hear it from his accent?

"NALF" had one sentence that sounded vaguely Texan, but it could have been a put-on.

Otherwise, they all sounded generically American.

That's interesting cause I'd thought he was from Texas cause he has a very "loud" American accent.
I was shocked when I discovered that he was born and raised in Oregon. But I'm not very good at detecting accents anyway.

We couldn't differentiate Swabian from Saxon from Bavarian the lot of us, don't feel too bad.

Anyway, those the Californian definitely sound Californian, and not the awesome kind, the silly SoCal kind that are just a step away from sayin' "gnarly"....~shudders~

The Oregonian I would've pegged to have come from Colorado.

Funnily, Conner - the blond ADHD guy from Orange County - sounds like a Californian to me, too. He looks, speaks and behaves like one of those Baywatch and Beverly Hills 90210 actors that irreversibly shaped the image non-Americans have of California. Wink + Tongue
