Adam Reed is a 17-year-old Florida high school football player who is 4-foot, 5-inches tall. Despite his small stature, he's the man the team looks up to. Steve Hartman reports.
get this dude into a new special team for 4th & 1 conversions, he gets the ball after the snap and is picked up by the biggest/strongest guy on their team, to be thrown over the line of scrimmage for just a couple of yard -> success!
john doe I know normally the shorter you are (me being 5”2) the more “scrunched” up you’ll be. Like you’re body can’t stretch it’s body fat like taller people can. Taller = skinny; shorter= chubby
I'm going to show this video to my little boy. My kid is tough, but if can show the heart this guys has. My boy will be amazing on the field. Thank you for sharing the video.
I feel what he is going through, it’s hard to play sport especially when your small ... I’m 4’9 80 pounds and I’m 14... I just have to work harder than everyone in Football and Basketball . But when it comes to track it is something I actually enjoy doing and not worrying about sizes . I do mid distance (800m 2:12 + 1600m 5:10) Credits to this mann
I have exactly the same problem the guy in the news story had. When I was 14, I played soccer and was the shortest (4’9 and weighed about 78 lbs) player on the team, but I was the fastest as my coach said and I believed bc I made some good plays. I was always told I was too short and light to play highschool football but this story has inspired me to get stronger and hopefully grow and maybe I’ll have a chance! I’m 16 now and I’m about 5’3 so I’m still short for my age and I’m projected to be 5’6-5’8 but nothing can stop me
thats a type of guy i will love on my team good heart, believe in him, and trust all men, and never let size full him.😏 all respect to him. keep it up lil dude.

Truth be told the high school team he played for American Heritage is a top 10 football team in the nation,so even though he doesn't start or play that much he still be plays during practice with them... very impressive
your right do what ever I'm small and I get it done on the football I'm 4 foot 7 and I'm playing with people like 5foot but I'm not going to be a whimp and not do what I love to do

My type of friend strong 💪 and willing to prove everyone wrong as he should cause he's no different from the nexts person maybe because he have to push harder but that makes him a even better person ,so yes he's no different
He got 5 yards on a run, that’s not bad. I’d honestly give him more touches. Maybe a couple times on special teams as a punt or kick returner? Maybe he’ll make somebody hesitate on the tackle get some extra yards. He can take a couple hits for sure.
"nothing ever told me i couldn't" broke my heart. kick some ass bro
Agreed
y e s
5 yds on a run play is a win in my book
2
true
LyonoX 3 yards is good
I agree
Yeah man. Make 4 yards a play that's a touch down
" nothing never told me I couldn't " . ♥️
He's so tiny but his face is so mature
...well yea hes just short. pretty sure height and facial structure arent correlated...
Acaidia the testosterone from playing sports for years probably hardened his face
Like gary coleman
Ye
I can never complain about my genes again man keep it up
People shouldn't compare like that. It leads to other problems in life that could never end.
Josh Story ikr
Josh Story you suck bad at basketball in real life
Josh Story favts
Kevin Heart must watch this vid a lot to boost his confidence.
Lol
And Katt Williams
the coach can't be that smart, somebody his size. I would use him for sooooo many trick plays
+rickdog02 lol No Bs
You have to ges
Noah Ward I see a play they do that in nfl play call”hide the midget” this guy can literally go through a guy leg
Noah Ward he could get killed out there taking a full speed hit think about it.
@@krystalsperfectteeth8194 if u look closely when he ran they didn’t even see him
They need to put him in punt return
Yea he could be like a Darren sproles
He needs to gain like 30-50 lbs of muscle
+Brent W but he can't process gh so If he was to start taking gear he still wouldn't grow much
raymond quao for real cause he dat quick and can dodge hella tackles
Riley Bouzoumita 🤦🏾♂️you don’t know anything about football
He should work on just straight SPEED because no one would ever catch him lol
get this dude into a new special team for 4th & 1 conversions, he gets the ball after the snap and is picked up by the biggest/strongest guy on their team, to be thrown over the line of scrimmage for just a couple of yard -> success!
Lmao that would actually be hilarious to see
+Moarxweird GAF best idea ever lmao
+Moarxweird GAF seriously though i cant stop laughing because i keep picturing it in my head
+moarxweird GAF, heaved over everyone
Moarxweird GAF HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

john doe I know normally the shorter you are (me being 5”2) the more “scrunched” up you’ll be. Like you’re body can’t stretch it’s body fat like taller people can. Taller = skinny; shorter= chubby
Well He has to bulk up because He's going to take Big Hits
I feel really bad bro. I pray to god this man gets his chance somewhere in college or hopefully beyond that✝️.

He could be like David Johnson! 4th string running-back now a starter and beasting.
I wanna be like this kid someday, he is nothing but awsome
Thats what Im talking about, dont ever let someone tell you can't achieve, you gotta love his attitude!

Truth be told the high school team he played for American Heritage is a top 10 football team in the nation,so even though he doesn't start or play that much he still be plays during practice with them... very impressive
I didn't even view him as an underdog because of the confidence he displayed...
That linebacker just picked him up and set him down. haha
I want to be in the NFL, right now I'm 4'10 at 13 years old and once I watched this video I got so much motivation
An inspiration to all

I really like this dude. He is good too
This dude was wicked quick

Hes now Kevin Hart stunt double. So proud of him.
Love to see him get drafted in the NFL. I'm not even joking.
He’s adorable
He so cute but has a big heart

that kid is a beast, if you ask me. and 5 yards is good in my book.
He still has more yards than I’ve gotten in my entire career as a player
This brightened my mood considering the cavs lost yesterday
so im from austria we dont use "foot" but im pretty tall. But this dude would totaly destroy me i feel bad man
good man
I would start him. Just imagine how hard it would be to really tackle him. Or how low you'll have to get to put a real hit on him.
I’m 5’3” and I’m a halfback on the JV team
who'd that girl at 1:23??
If he's 4'5, I'm 4'5
Ariana DelaSinloa woah
Ariana DelaSinloa i’m 4’7

Keep the same energy in real life
He looks like bow wow
Who cares who small still get to your dreams in life
To think this school has one of The best football teams in the nation
So 2 years after that they beat my school baker county high in the state championship
Direct snap, and short yards and red zone
