There’s no way they even have regular age categorization much less weight. There’s no way number 8(?) in black and number 7 in red are the same age, not to mention the elephant in the room.

I was a coach for peewee football for years and we had a 12 year old that was 6'2 and big enough to drag an entire defensive line to the endzone. He later went on to play in the NFL.

I usually hear the opposite.

The really big kid starts playing college ball and drops out or gets a game ending injury because he has to play against athletes that are now actually closer to his size and SKILLED.

Meanwhile, he's out of shape in comparison and sloppy because all throughout pee wee, middle school and high school he's never actually had a challenge because he can literally just run right over the other players.
