I found this video while searching around on Monday and saw how sick Cody Paul was. Cody Paul plays for the Los Alamitos Griffins Pop Warner football team. The video was posted in 2007 when he was 12. He is now 15 years old and I was unable to find out if he was playing high school ball or even if he was still playing. If you can find any of that information, leave it in the comments section below.
Thanks to jdanvers for the pop warner football picture.
It took 9 dudes to tackle him! WTF! He could probably beat me up….I’m scared.
And their quarterback has got an ARM. Threw it like 50 yards. Think they could beat a few high school teams (::cough cough English cough cough::).
I said this already to Josh, yeah he’s alright for a 13 year old playing against other kids that have no real idea what they are doing. I knew a bunch of kids that had moves like that playing Pop Warner, so I say whatever about the Pop Warner stuff and wait to see what he does later in life against people that have an idea about how to play football.
P.S. Here’s a link to his high school football team’s website. He’s a sophomore now playing on Varsity and doesn’t have any stats as of their first 4 games.

So he’s a sophomore playing on the Varsity team. He’s learning the system that he’s going to dominate for the next two years.
Most of the top players in college and even nfl started all there years in highschool. Im just sayin that even though your a sophomore, if your good your good.
jeremy i understand what you are saying about great players starting all of thee high school years but im going to have to disagree . im currently 15 playing varsity in the florida 6A division high school for miami central , i also played varsity as a freshman and got significant play time. im am not surprized by the fact that i will not be starting this year inthe fall because of the surrounding talent . if you go an play for any old scrub team and start all your years cause your the only athlete . i wouldnt count that. im even apart of the top 100 2013 college recruits . but im not starting its all about the surronding talent !
He’s 13 years old and plays for Los Alamitos Griffins, who have gone to the Pop Warner Superbowl two seasons in a row. Anybody with minimal football brains can see the real talent here is the coaching. Look at the blocking schemes taught to the o-line, the receivers and especially #20. I’m not saying Cody isn’t good, he is. But this entire team is packed with talent.
From the coaches mouth himself —-
“Cody is NOT 8 years old, he is 13 years old. The film fottage you’re watching is from our season last year (when he was 12years). They are of our first Regional game agaiinst Valencia Park (San Diego, CA); and our 2 Pop Warner Superbowl games vs Holliston Panthers (Red and white) and the San Marin Colts (Green and Yellow). We won all three of those games to go 15-0 and become the 2006 Pop Warner National Champions D-2 PEE WEE level (Warner Bracket).
The coaching he received and the players surrounding him were just as great. The prior 2 years, Cody played for another team, along with #20 that first year, and they amassed only 2 touchdowns in those years. The offensive line in front of him were outsized all year, and yet they were able to open up holes that a Mac-truck could go thru untouched. They were, and are, ALL awesome.
In closing please, know that Cody was a part of a GREAT team that did amazing things (last year was our second trip to Florida (back to Back) to coompete for the national Championship). All the players and their families made the coaching experience beyond phenominal. I am pleased, to know and have worked with them all. I do sincerely hope that this serves to clear up any misconceptions about Cody and the rest of 2006 Los Alamitos PEE WEE GRIFFINS!
SIncerely,
Christopher Austin”
I agree, no one man makes a team. I agree, he has great blocking in a great system. I am still slightly confused on the game film, but you did clear things up greatly.
I could be wrong, but you seem extremely offended at the fact that people are giving Cody a lot of credit and not as much to the team. Everyone knows that football is a team sport, but this video itself was solely based on Cody Paul himself.
Matt, maybe you should read around a little. Cody Paul got injured in the first game of the season. He was playing and right early on the game was up for him till he gets back from injury. It happens dude, doesn’t mean he sucks. Wait and see how he goes by end of season and judge then.
I never said he “sucks”, I said I’ve seen kids play like that in Pop Warner and was waiting to see if his skill will extend to playing against other bits of talent. And I was only posting that he was on the team with no stats as of the 4th game. Not sure what you were inferring from my previous comment.
Haterade!
I coached Jr. high and High school football in S. Louisiana many years. Watched Joe McKnight (now at USC) come up from 10 years old. I coached a 12 year old phenom tailback who was equivalent to Joe at that age that only became a better than average slot reciever in high school and never played at the next level. The point is you can not, I repeat, can not tell what a young Cody Paul will be at 18 years of age. Might be great, might be average, might never hear of him again.
I agree with you Coach, but from the ability he’s shown to cut back on a dime, he reminds me of a wes welker type that would be great at returning kicks in the open field. But yes, once he turns 18 and starts to train, lift and grow into his body, he may become slower and less agile.
hey listen im a jv qb playing at lansingburgh and cody paul sounds like a poatato chip to me yea he’s good but i agree with matt
haha, if only cody paul could see this…. oh wait!
is this really cody paul
dont hate this kids like 10.
wether hes gunna be a badass in highschool or not.
HES a stud.
i too am a sophomore running back playing on varsity
the speed of the game is SOOO much faster. but with the extra year he has too develope on that slope of the game come senior or even junior year youll hear his name again forsure.
This kid is unreal, he will def become a beast in high school, those cutbacks are natural vision, you cant teach that.
That’s the same thing that had me drawn to him Schwilliam. Thanks for stopping by.
I think Cody is a great runningback who can probaly get pass me. I played defencive tackle and linebacker for my last 2 years in football (2006 – 2008). I wasnt big at all, just very aggresive. Im 13 now and only weigh 101lbs!!!. Im in full-time weight training right now on my upper body and alot on my legs. Ive gotten 35% faster and i plan on going to runningback next season in my Westlake football return.
Good luck Tre. I’m sure the hard work will pay off. Keep us updated, we’d love to hear about it.
THAT KID IS SO BAD. I WOULD DEF BEAT HIM IN ANYTHING
All right its obvious the kid is good but i played football back then to and i was doing the same things he was doing. hes going to be a alright player. small D1 school. but you cant judge him as an heisman winner already?? come on now the kid is nice though
cody paul is a sohpmore at los al high he plays jv rb
It seems like cody has a lot of potential and there is no doubt in my mind he has talent. Lets just hope he has a mentor to point him in the right direction and that his career flourishes past high school tailback.
I’m not saying he wasn’t good at that age, but all that he really did was out run kids his age and make occasional good cuts. just saying you guys think because hes on varsity as a sophomore and what not that hes going to be GREAT, not completely true, I’m sure he’ll be an okay player. Theres a lot of talent these days and they’re kids like him all over are amazing in pop waner and then everyone catches up.
i think he is an awsome player he is better than most players on some of the collage if he keeps up the good work heck he could be the next hiesman
My son is a Freshman and played varsity for football this year.
He also got a 4.5 on the 40 yard dash…I was wondering if anybody knows Cody Paul speed? I think the speed is the one of the biggest factors in making it big, you can have all the talent..but if your not really fast it doesn’t matter.
I didn’t find a 40 time for Cody Paul anywhere in my time looking for some information on him, but he is definitely quick and fast. I do agree with you that speed kills. Without speed, most colleges won’t give you the time of day, even as a lineman.
I dont know what he’s doin now but this kids mixtape highlights are crazy!!! He’s got over 5million hits on youtube! I think some of yall are sippin to much haterade!!! lol
that little dude is bad ass i wish i was as good as him i play for popwarner to
Ok,this is Cody Paul. Sure many of you think im hardly doing anything, but I put the sports first. My blockers also are doing great,and I might be nowhere without them, but I still say you all should lighten up on me because I’m doing good along with my blockers. We are an all around good team. Thanks to coach Chris Austin, we are an outstanding team.
what is your team name i’m 11 I play jr midgets for schentady
I don’t understand why people get so upset sometimes. It’s Schenectady and it’s in New York. As we stated, Cody Paul plays for the Los Alamitos Griffins in California.
I played ball back in pop warner all the way through high school and blew out a knee. Dude, the kid has mad skills running the ball. Ask any running back, receiver, TE….anywhere….speed and vision are the keys. 12, 13, 14 yrs old..who gives a sh!t. If he had vision then, imagine once he learns more of the game, what he’s going to do. Stop hating on the kid because you didn’t make it in JV ball or where ever it is you haters played. Go back to doing your research on youtube and see where the early video’s of LT, Chris Johnson, or any other NFL top back are located. You’ll notice, there really isn’t much of a difference between Cody and them except….Cody’s did it faster. Just sayin’….
look up nick tozzi on youtube you mite like wat u c and the kids a beast
better thyan cody paul acctually
Cody hit me up on facebook
I mean im just finding out bout dis Cody Paul n im on youtube lol no1 is on ur level ur stupid good its amazing
He has very good blocking that allows hom to run effectifly. Without it he would get smashed.
I’m way better than Cody. Look at my hghlight reel on youtube. I’ll smash him.
please leave us the link and we’d be glad to check it out and possibly even give you a post if it is that good.
they say cody paul is now playing high school ball and he has switched to qb from rb on youtube you should type in “cody paul playing high school football”
cody seem to be a good player but there is know allstars in popwarner. for the next level he need to put some muscle on his frame. i notice hes not a complete back just outside.
yes he plays high school ball
OK i know cody is good, but i think its ridiculous how much fame he’s getting. its impossible to tell if he’ll make nfl by looking at him in youth football. i agree that people should just chill out about him
I think it’s exciting to see a little kid run like that period. I think even if he ends up working in the mail room later in life he had a great fifteen minutes of fame from this highlight video… I think some of you feel short and are jealous. I played on a full ride scholarship CD ant UTAH state…no NFL but educated…this kid is definitely better then I was at his age. maybe he peaked? Maybe he will be undersized? But any baller knows this is GOLD to have a highlight tape like this…no matter how old you are or where you are now…Most of you dont have anything like this yourselves
Thank you so much for that previous comment. I agree with you 100%, especially coming from a college athlete. There have been so many people minimizing this kids talent at that level of his life and I just couldn’t believe all the negative attention he got from this.
I’m happy to see someone else feel excited and proud of this kid. So what that he’s older now and plays for a high school team that he didn’t start on last season. He’s a young kid with great moves and from the looks of it, a passion for the game. I wish more people felt the way you and a few others have and would give Cody credit where it is due. Thank you again for your thoughts.

Totally off topic, but Arlen Specter, senator from Pennsylvania and Spygate antagonist of B.B. just lost re-election in the Democrat primary. Karma’s a b-tch, baby.
Hey what’s up my name is nate I played with northwood Ram from baltimore MD back in 00-01 and 01-02. We won pop warner two yrs in a row. The second year we blow everybody out but like 2 team by 3 TD’s or more. But anyways its a lot of player like cody true. But cody is rare just going off this video. Yall need to stop hating and congratulate. Shorty is nice and I put money all yall kids on here him age he probably run laps around u on the field. And if you play offense. He will run all over your team defense. Since yall want to talk about teams too lol. That is all
