    Might be a duplicate thread, had a quick browse but didnt spot anything. He's fourteen years old. One of the most naturally gifted athletes I've ever seen.

    His fullback #20 is savage aswell. All the footage is taken from the Peewee superbowl playoffs, so they arent playing crappy teams...

    Pee Wee means diddly. Come back to us when he is doing the same in his Junior and Senior year in High School then repeating the same in a D1 college for 4 years. Long Road ahead of the kid yet. Good Luck to him.

    kid is probably a high school senior at this stage. tbh I suspect the fb will be a better player.

    I seem to remember seeing this and he was 8, then 10, then 12 and now 14. It's only been a year I think since it was posted

    There's no doubt the kids got talent - for a kid - but the hype around this video is unreal!!

    Reminds me of when Noel Devine burst onto the scene a year or two ago with a HS highlights reel that blew people away. Now, while still a good player, he is not achieving anywhere near his HS 'standards' that a lot of people expected. Now if his video had not of been put on the net those standards would not be in place and he might be seen as a better football player but people just expected too much from him at the next level.

    I have a feeling that this video was put up by Paul Cody's family in an effort to get high schools etc. to notice him and to get a head start in the goal of becoming a professional. If it is, heck I can't blame the family I'd do it myself but at the same time they could be set up for a big fall if the kid doesn't deliver! Pressure on a kid of 14 playing football... who'd have thunk it!

    The 8,10,12 were the ages he was in a fair few of the videos. The last proper vid he was in he was 12 his last year in pee wee football. He is actually now 15. I called a coach friend of mine in California and the kid is still a talking point but it all depends on how he does in Varsity Football and then from there College ball. My coach friend said yes the kid has talent but dont forget at pee wee level some kids are bigger and stronger than others so it easy to look better.

    As for Noel Devine he play WVU right now and played in last years Fiesta Bowl as a freshman and holds the Fiesta Bowl record for the longest run 65 yards. Kid has got a future if he puts his head down and keeps working at it. What hampered Noel Devine was his GPA he ended up doing summer school to increase his GPA so WVU could accept him. Search him in wikipedia im sure there is a profile of him in there.

    What a clown just like when he was in high school fool didnt look after his grades so much for his hype. He will most likely fook himself up before he even get near his senior year with WVU.

    But wait a minute - how many of the kids playing against him will even make it to a college side, so the standard of that Paul guy is incomparable to any RB in the NFL, who were probably ALL doing that in their Peewee league. The chances of any two people in the same town making it to the NFL are ridiculously remote*. So in that context it's not nearly as impressive as what some of the NFL boys do.

    *Unless the town happens to be LA or NY or somewhere like that - or your name is Manning.

    Thing is Pee Wee superbowl or not they are all kids under the age of 12 and still have high school and college ahead of them. I still cant believe people create so much hype over these guys.

    according to the blog on which the Paul family post on its the all-american pee wee superbowl, so its national standard, not state or county. So its the best standard he can play against at his age.

    McGuffie is a hero, hope he doesnt go the Devine way, all the ****e hes been in, I cant imagine what the talk is going to be like come draft considering the stuff McFadden is getting now and the contract stuff hes likely to have to sign up to.

    Hadn't seen that before. Great elusive runner but some nice blocking schemes to help him. I'd have liked to see a bit more power running it it but the kid can run. Nice.

    But Pee Wee is Pee Wee no matter the level undeveloped Pre teenage non muscular bodies yeah know they are all pretty much on the same level. Speed and size would be any kid pre 13 main strengths really. Only when they hit late teens and hit the gym big style will it really make a difference.

    And as for Devine he is on his last chances at WVU. Im pretty sure that clown will wise up as he goes into his sophmore year.

    13-14 is where the Polynesian and African-American kids tend to begin to accelerate in terms of physical development. when he's 17 you'll have an idea of whether he can compete or not.

    Others will know better than me but i think there's height and weight upper limits in pee wee. i seem to remember certain NFL players not being able to play until high school as a result. Hands up if i'm wrong.
