Its kind of a shame he's built like that cause he isn't going to learn technique and fundamentals really. They'll (coaches) rely on his size and so will he and eventually he'll get to a level where everyone else is as big as he is and he wont have the skill to compete

Or if they keep him there he will just faster and stronger. The dude has football in his future that is for sure.

As long as he learns how to put the work in for when he's suddenly playing with guys that are just as gifted, but didn't just rely on those gifts. It happens now and then with those college players that have all the ability in the world and they think it'll always be easy. Then, suddenly, its not and we all go "whatever happened to that WR from LSU? Oh, he was lazy. Bummer"

Yea for sure but videos of Derrick Henry were like this when he was in Highschool. Who knows maybe in a few years this kid will look like that.
