2016 RB is Big in Japan

[scruf]

2016 RB Latendre "Dre" Paylor, 5'10", 170, 4.45, is putting up big numbers (a league record 27 carries for 445 yards and 5 TDs after rushing for 2000+ as a SO) overseas in the American football leagues (DODDS). Here's him in action this year against Edgren HS running for 149 yards on 12 carries:

He camped at Oregon last year and was recognized as one of the Top 5 backs there. He has elite speed and change of direction and plays above his size. A Barry Sanders-style (I said "-style" not "-like") who will be fun to watch at the next level. Will be moving back to the states for his SR year.

Honestly, is this peewee league? Look at the left tackle on yellow team. Lol

K. Just finished watching all the highlights. My kid could be a star in that league and he is in 7th grade. Lol Very, very poor competition.

I live in Okinawa and the high school competition level is very low.  The high school teams here are at a AA level in Arkansas.  He may be one of the few stars but probably hard to tell with the opponents he's playing against.

Who cares when he can dance like Barry sanders or emmit smith that's rare talent.
