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!
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.
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 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.

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

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
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
It's good to be supportive and all, but it's better to be honest and realistic. This guy could never a reliable asset in a competitive game. His body is simply not made for the mechanics.
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
" nothing never told me I couldn't " . ♥️
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
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
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

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.
Your kid sucks
I feel really bad bro. I pray to god this man gets his chance somewhere in college or hopefully beyond that✝️.
yo he is one ripped dude for his size tho
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
MUCH RESPECT FOR REAL, his attittude will take him a long way in life
this made my heart smile
hearts don't have mouths
+Survival Kid And you don't have a heart

I honestly would like too see him running track and field
He could be like David Johnson! 4th string running-back now a starter and beasting.
Why would you dislike this????
why is there 63 dislikes? this is soo Motivational
I thought I was too small for football at 5’4”, guess not this little guy is living proof wow props to you. What a little beast.
He touched a million more hearts than a football.
yea footballs don’t have hearts
@@chillx1539 you couldn't have read that more wrong.
The news anchor is out here talking about him like a make-a-wish kid
🤣😫
Nothing told me I couldn't
....great 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
respect 💯
That linebacker just picked him up and set him down. haha
Thank you
He was actually good in that one play, maybe he can be a 3rd down conversion guy.
That’s the biggest man I’ve ever seen. Respect ✊
he kinda looks like earl thomas
He got heart man that's respect 👍👍👍
Because you a little that don't mean anything you can do anything you want to do. And keep up the great work that you are doing.

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
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.
This brightened my mood considering the cavs lost yesterday
I'm the short guy at school as well. Anyway ,
My friends: tip towing down the school hallway
Me 0:17
that kid is a beast, if you ask me. and 5 yards is good in my book.
He’s really quick
No shame in being short!
we have a guy like him same size yesterday he ran 15 yards gave us that 1st down
who'd that girl at 1:23??
This man is lit af
He’s adorable
I'm tall for my age so I was 4 when I was his height
No you weren't.
Heart of a lion!
Poor kid - must have a hard time at Amusement parks. He's got great arms, though. :)
He still has more yards than I’ve gotten in my entire career as a player
Wait, what was the point to add a scene of a decorated plate at the end? 🤔😂
That’s was awesome man
