400-Pound High School Running Back Is a Force of Nature


Tony Picard is a 400-pound high school running back in Washington state.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Aptly nicknamed "Big Tone," Picard plays for White Swan High School in Yakima, Wash. He's a senior, and about 6 feet 4 inches tall. His highlights — nay, the very concept of his existence — went viral over the weekend after ESPN college-football analyst Brock Huard tweeted this surreal photo of Picard in action:

The highlight reel, above, has since been viewed 1.8 million times since Saturday. Picard is quite the load to handle for undersized high-school football players, making it easy to understand the YouTube clip's appeal.
As for his prospects at the next level, Picard told Northwest Prep Report that it's his "dream" to play college football. Further adding to his unique status in the football world, Picard said he's part Umatilla-Nez Perce and part Sioux. He's not just a novelty act, either; Picard has reportedly rushed for more than 700 yards and 15 touchdowns this season.
We'll keep an eye on where Picard lands as far as college goes. But if you can't get enough, here's another highlight reel that hit YouTube over the weekend:
