Wow, pretty awesome. I have one of his game worn jerseys. He has carved out a nice NFL career for himself.

One thing is sure the son does not have dad's physical length (yet). I am sure he is athletic. What position would he be playing?

He’s listed as an “athlete” at 6’ 175 lbs. He’s a rising Junior and plays CB and RB. Based on the photo, I question the 6’ status.

Class of 2024. How is that a rising Junior? This year would be Class of 2022, next is 2023. And Dre is 6'2. He isn't far off pops.

Wonder if he’s getting a Charger when he turns 16.

There’s no way he’s 6’ or even close to it. He appears to be only an inch or two taller than Saban in the photo. On a more important topic … Freshman in high school having babies may work out if you’re an elite athlete who’s talented enough, focused enough and coached enough to become a professional player. A player who can then also stay healthy long enough to sign a couple of NFL contracts. If not, it’s a recipe for the parents and the child to become three more sad statistics for blacks. The primary issues facing the black community … high numbers of out of wedlock births, high dropout rates, low graduation rates, low test scores, high percentage of fatherless homes, low numbers numbers entrepreneurs, etc. All of which are the most reliable indicators of incarceration and poverty. I’m glad things have seemed to work out for Dre and his son but they are the exceptions that prove the rule. Unfortunately, they set an example that the overwhelming vast majority of young blacks can’t duplicate.

I just gave you what the article said. He's more than two inches from dad.

Yes, I know … didn’t mean to imply you agreed!

 

[mando]

Pictures can be deceptive but he sure does not look like he is 6' and only 2" shorter than Dre.

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

Ok so 5’10 with better hands than Dre. Maybe change of pace RB, slot or Arenas type DB

My class of 2024 kid is still growing, so I imagine there’s likely more height to come.

I grew till I was 20 years old. Not sure why everyone else is up in arms about a 14-15 year old topping out, even when genetics show otherwise. If this was a girl, then that may be the case, but this kid has plenty of time left to grow.

It's not that he'll continue to grow, it's about how he/they claim he's 6' now when he isn't.

Old....let me see

Old means you were at Denny in 61 for the Bama vs NC State game when Roman Gabriel was the QB for State.

The NC State fans would chant Throw Gabriel Throw......got their ass beat anyway but so did every team Bama played in 61
