Brendan Adams towers over other players.
That's right; the tallest teen-age boy in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records is playing football this year. In middle school. "This is the first year my mom's let me play," Adams told Melissa Luck, an executive producer for KXLY4 in Spokane. "She thought I was gonna get hurt or something. It's my favorite sport and she said this is an opportunity she didn't want me to miss."
