    Definitely no shame in that career. Football got him into a school and he got to play a game he loved for four years longer than most. He met his wife through football. Maybe a couple of inches taller, a few pounds heavier or a few tenths faster, the story would be different. I’m sure there are thousands of amateur sports athletes that could be said about. Me, personally, I’m happy for him. Looks like he’s living a good life.

    This is so common. When me and my cousin were 11-12 he was a RB and really quick and a highlight reel. I was fast and had good hands and was more of a natural athlete. By time he was in HS he was only 5-7, slow, and chubby and played backup center. I grew to 6-5, 220 and ran a 4.6 40 and ended up playing D-1 football. Anything pre-puberty is pointless for scouting. The body just changes or for some…doesn’t change much at all.

      100%. Some kids hit puberty earlier than others. I also had a friend we used to swear was going to the league. Man was 5'7 185lbs in like 7th grade. He used to abuse the opponents in the games. Run for like 8 TDs a game... Fast forward to our senior year and his ass was 5'7 185lbs and wasnt even on the football team anymore.

    Good Video, really broke down just the basics of being a Star at a young age, but keeping your head on straight and not letting all the Hype go to your head, that is probably why Cody didn't Crash and do stupid things like so many do when your dreams meet reality and your career comes to an end. You said it best, Cody is a guy that loved playing ball, was super good, but it just wasn't in the cards for him to be an NFL player, just a good college player. He still did better than probably 90% of the kids that play, and the best thing about this story, Cody kept his head on straight the whole time.

    You gotta remember, the stats between Woodhead and Cody. Back then , it was more popular to run the rock and have a stellar defense. But within the past 5 to 10 years, passing the ball is the new cool trend. So I'm wondering if that affected Cody's stats, And even nowadays, the RB position has been unappreciated by the nfl as of late. So I'm wondering if Cody just got caught in between the transition of football trends. During the Reggie Bush days , rb's were highly sought after. But fast forward til now and even top RBs have to fight and prove they're worth a decent contract

    • @KWillo
      @KWillo 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    As a high school football coach the last 13 years, 170 lbs at 5’6 is pretty damn solid for a high school. But… I wouldn’t recruit him in a power 5. Like you said, a smaller D1 could have used him, but he just lacks the explosion a D1 guy has. Also, watching his High School highlights doesn’t look like the competition was great either. Lot of kids get thrown to the wolves at a young age and I’m happy to see how well he handled the entire situation. He seems to have his act together ( just based on the little research I’ve done).

He definitely ran like he was 5-10 and 200lbs like a cannonball on top of being able to change direction. Due to his size and strength people would actually miss a lot of tackles or get run thru.

    Listen. I hate that they weighed this kid down with so many expectations. At the end of the day, we weren't all meant to play college ball. You see, college recruiters are looking less at how well you do against High School level competition, and more at what they think they can build out of you for the college level. You can overcome being too small or too slow and be a GREAT High School player. I was. But at 165 lbs, 5'10" with a 4.9 40...no college cared how good I was on the High School level.
    That's just the way it is, and college recruiters usually know what they are doing.
    You play for love of the game. You play for your brothers on your team. You play so the game and the coaches can teach you to be a man, and impart lessons on you that you can use to succeed in life. If you happen to be big, or fast, or both...then you get to play a little longer, that's all. Instead, I joined the military and put myself through college that way.
    Not playing college ball is not a failure. That is all I am getting at. And this guy playing D2...hell, that is a major success!
    Now, yes there are exceptions to the rule. But I ppromise you that any player that made it to the NFL at THAT size has something extraordinary about them in another area. You do not overcome being 5'6" by being just above average in other areas of your game. But the exception to the rule aside, the vast majority of people that size are just too small to play on after High School.

    I remember my son being so bummed because one of his friends was very similar to Cody at age 12 when they were playing Little League baseball.
    His friend just completely outplayed his peers. His friend then had this identity as being the “next big thing”. But his friend stopped growing his senior year in High School ending at 5’7” / 160lbs, his pitching career was over.
    My son got an academic scholarship to a great college and his friend struggled while attending JuCo because it was hard escaping all that attention and accolades that sports provided. But now he’s doing okay, living a normal life and happy. That’s all that matters.

    I was at nationals that year, we heard a rumor about him while we were down there and my team watched him play for maybe 15 mins before we had to go warm up for our game, he was very shifty but a lot like our team that year, the blocking didn’t stop till the whistle blew. Not taking anything away from him just saying his team had the same rule ours did, if the ball aint in your hands a defender better be

    In grassroots sports, performance ultimately comes down to who hit puberty first, then who hit puberty the hardest - in that order.

    Sproles is the most famous of all the names you mention but the smaller back is the exception. Physical size in a league where "O" lineman are now 6'8" and 379 lbs is a detriment to guys like Cody. I'd told him to play in the Canadian Football League like Doug Flutie and Warren Moon and see what happens. He could easily have played D2 and people have played NFL and CFL ball from D2 schools. Cody is like many star Little Leaguers. They are stars in their younger years but get out grown as they age. It's the roll of the dice. You see it a lot in Little League baseball. A kid is great but ages into someone good but not a spectacular.

    Most young phenoms plateau at some point and don't get to the elite level. Depends on factors like early development that gives them an advantage over peers, but that development must continue. Late development can sometimes be better than early development, in some cases an average athlete will overtake and even exceed the early bloomers.
