10 year old Jimmy Derwin NJ QB

[yessirking]

The DFW metroplex is filled with these kids. Many of them end up hating the game and their parents, many of them end up great players but 5'9" and peaking in 8th grade.... but a small set of them end up pretty special. Hope he grows well and continues loving the game. A full childhood of that is a heck of a gamble.

Lindell Stone, Virginia's QB now, was *unbelievable* as an 11 year old.... probably the best I've ever seen at that age.

It's a real fine line between pushing a kid to be great and pushing a kid away

Double edged sword. Quickest way to take the fun out of something is turn it into job with extreme family pressure with an associated cost. 10 is too young imo. High school age is appropriate to start. Camps are ok earlier than that.

I hear you. I was saying it tongue in cheek. You have to let kids be kids, after all, football is still only a game.

Does said PR person make a good Arroz con Gandules? Asking for a Boricuan friend.

 

[ChinstrapCane]

It's to record his football games and practices to send to private schools.

Let’s call him a videographer then.

 

[TheMatador]

Hired a PR person as in Public Relations or as in Puerto Rican?

Well, what’s he going to do with a Puerto Rican? Have him cut the lawn and trimb the shrubs? He has no use for a Puerto Rican. No offense to Puerto Rican’s but kid just doesn’t need one.

(Best friends son) His Dad is a big Notre Dame fan, but I’m always in his ear about how It’s All About the U.

But what's his 40 time bro?

Kosar could make it 40 yards? I thought he would fall down like a drunk giraffe by 30 yds.

Kodak could make it 40 yards? I thought he would fall down like a drunk giraffe by 30 yds.

I was being Kind....Lol

But made up for it with Brains...

Soon kids won’t be hiring just PR people....they’ll hire consultants in strategic communications.

Alabama bound. The school has ties with Santa; they have taken recruiting to another level.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Can he play corner?

If so, he's gonna have to take a bunch of correspondence courses, and I don't even know if we have an IC for him.

 

[Yamayama]

Not sure I would be posting the first and last name of a ten year old on a free message board, but maybe that’s just me.

Biggest reasons these schools in NJ and colleges stay away from kids are parents. Almost impossible to project a 10 year old.

 

[Canemang]

He's my best friend's kid, has him with a private trainer, and just hired a PR person. He wants him to attend Bergen Catholic once he gets to HS. He only turned 10 in June and is in 5th grade.

Your friend needs to relax and let his son be a kid. Plenty of time for the personal training stuff.
@ a ******* PR person for a 10yo no one outside of his family and friends ever heard of.

Bama using Santa as a bagman. Kid will find a number of stuffed stockings on Christmas morning....

 

[S.CarolinaCane]

PR for a 10yr old QB? Yikes.

Bruh,the world of youth sports is getting crazy. You should see some of the money being poured into these baseball complexes, and all the parents think their kid is going pro when they turn 11 or 12
