8 Year-Old Football PRODIGY | Jaylen Huff Highlights

six months of Instagram turned into 27.3k followers man [Music] push wait and a video of a local father practicing football with the sun outside of their family-owned gym in Phoenix City has now gone viral now has over 9 million views I just turned my TV on I saw myself on the knees it's 5 a.m and we meal prepping for the day basically uh everything you see is uh weighed and bounced out for him this portion right here this is my side eight ounces of a ground turkey and this Hillside uh five ounces of meat and I've been starting my days off like this man since I can remember Pop's uh military so you know being a military brat everything is time synced I want to set schedule so it's gym time now time to get the day start let's grind [Applause] [Music] things have changed with the way this world is social media and how that view with these kids and everything back in the day they had to take flights and drive out to the colleges and go look at this kid now they can just go to Instagram YouTube or whatever and just look at the highlights and go okay yeah well he's cool I'm gonna sign him and sign that pretty much they say I'm the hype of the gym when I come to the door I agree to everybody man I'm loud and I'm nauseous what's up baby basically family since we got this gym over here he's what's going on man this is my papa rolling hoverboard this is this is a big gym Mini Me is how I describe Jalen he's a perfectionist get to the gym eat I like to watch highlights of Marshawn Lynch Derek Carey Ezekiel Elliott and Odell Beckham Jr I'll be training and that they know it's time to hit the run so you got to reach out runs you need to go ahead and change it to your um workout clothes and tights if it wasn't in him I wouldn't be pushing him to do the best that he's doing now I'm used to holding the football so I don't have fun with it if you don't do it you're gonna drop the ball every single time I can name 50 players who also Wilson the Baldwin tire lock it Marshawn Lynch Thomas Road and some he determined to do he want to be great and you know my son is all nine as well he's the same age and now they're getting to the age where they ask questions well how can I be like Cam Newton so you know if your son asks you those questions is your your job as a parent to you know put him in the right opportunity to be successful you got to be in your stand cause you can't move clap man let's go now keep in mind he's only been playing running back man for the last six months I could say six months and to see the stuff that he's doing now it blows me away I've seen him on the field directing people asking where are they supposed to go it's like a switch goes on when he hits the field but when he comes off the field he re-transitions and he just want to be an eight-year-old kid at that point look at his first posterior one day I want to be on it because all these people are in the field I will look at that poster it reminds me it wasn't harder and harder make him get better I have to watch things and teach him I'll be on the treadmill just looking at YouTube like what can I teach him what can I do this what can I do I would look at other celebrities footwork videos and then I'll start putting all of them together trying to make my home at the end of the day I finished off with a running back agility drills different kind of drills and techniques try to use my surroundings of what I got do something simple like went to a tire shop and I got a whole bunch of tires that I'm gonna use I think I already have this beat so I just gotta keep moving my feet and see if you break tackles you give them a little feed you if you don't keep going keep going [Music] that's a thin line between over training and training and me as a trainer knows that the passion that uh that his father has for him is like no other I see this look on his face there's gleaming his eyes and I can see nothing but love and happiness but when it comes to his father and the whole roundness of an athlete he knows how important uh education is as well as this thing called football right now while I'm cooking the foods and stuff I call words out as I'm going you're here you spell them and go over the definition but for him to be just eight years old and to be on in a magazine man that's crazy if you do social media you have to use the parent have to strictly strictly be in control of that I won't look on my Instagram every day but my dad says I can't why does he say you can't because there's some bad people saying bad stuff about me that I don't got no fast feed or stuff but I do he only sees what I allow him to see when he wants to look I have to filter do all his pictures comments just so I can you know keep the positive thing in him we didn't have all this technology you know we had the VCR tapes and all that so now it's like you can get exposure real quick and fast you can go viral you know if the right person shares it you know it can help you out big time is football his thing I think it is I think it is it's calling but that's Jalen decision as he gets older but I do see him playing on Saturdays at the Collegiate level Sunday's at the pro level the sky's the limit for this young man foreign [Music]
