10 in 1 minute with an endless supply of balls really wouldn't be that far fetched.


It's not farfetched until you throw in that it's a 10 year old. Think of hand size here.

And in the video you posted, the dude in the red ski cap "traps" just about every ball that comes to him against his body.

My 7 year old isn't a super athlete, no, but the bigger problem would be that his hands aren't big enough to control an NFL-sized football for one-handed catches. OBJ has freak-sized hands. That's the main reason he can do this.

He trapped a bit of them, but he still caught a good bit of them clean without using a 2nd hand or the body. They were also going for speed and throwing the ball harder than if they had more balls. Would easily have 10 in a minute.

We practiced these catches all the time as kids with a NFL ball. Also, a NFL ball would be easier than a college ball

NFL footballs are easier to throw and catch
