400-Pound Running Back: High School Player Tony Picard Highlight Reel Goes Viral [VIDEO]
A high-school football player from Washington is making headlines, but it isn't because he's been drafted to play for a top tier university.
White Swan Washington's Tony Picard is getting noticed more for his impressive stature and weight. At 6'4" and 400 pounds, the running back is a force to be reckoned with on the football field. His abilities are demonstrated by a highlight reel of the player that has gone viral online, according to UPI.
"It's so much fun to have him go out [on the field] as a captain and see him shaking hands before the game," Picard's coach Andrew Bush told the Indian Country Today Media Network. "They're just kind of staring, like 'Oh my gosh, you've got to be kidding me!'"
Picard is a senior at White Swan who has so far run for more than 700 yards and scored 15 touchdowns this season for the Cougars football team. He is set to graduate next year, but hasn't committed to any decisions for a school yet.
The highlight reel, which got 1.7 million views on Youtube in just two days, shows Picard in games on Sept. 27 and Oct. 11. He can be seen in the clip towering over not only his teammates, but the opposing team as well.
