[@frankrambo506]

this guy is no joke,he scores like 2-3 touchdowns a game with over 200 plus yards

[@forknspon]

This is absolutely awesome, 1200 Rushing Yards and 20 Touchdowns isn't something to shrug at either. That is pretty damn impressive, no matter the level.

[@ronaldomendoza7578]

Fork Spon For real, most guys can't even do that with hearing and eyesight, This dude did it with just his eyes.

[@killshark234]

Fork Spon 1465 yards and 25 tds actually

[@georgeman9602]

Agree

[@jkey3835]

In school he's much more intimidating in the good way.

[@masonyeahyeah4784]

S Whatever yes. And he seems like a very nice guy

[@TheTexansForever]

Seattle's stadium wouldn't effect him at all, the perfect secret weapon.

[@MC-bd5ub]

Greg Willard Seattle had a deaf fullback.

[@willbiggar24]

Greg Willard chiefs station is louder

[@tylercheam44]

well now it is

[@Bubs-_-]

What do you mean

[@saintrodgersdomino7384]

@@willbiggar24 nope lol

[@dylanrogers2085]

He deserves to play college ball because he's good and he should take advice from Derek Coleman

[@lanceallen8766]

I agree, he works extremely hard to be able to know the plays. He deserves to play in college.

[@cres4x]

@Insert Name Here No, you're right but it's spelled Gallaudet.

[@soodshrey]

@Insert Name Here they're d 3, that's actually where he plays now so that's pretty cool

[@johnmackshighlights8103]

He probably could have played D1 maybe d3 but probably not because of audibles

[@thescourges]

Insert Name Here fun fact, gallaudet invented the pre-play huddle, because the other team could see them signing.

[@chupapi5154]

Anyone else think this guy looked like he could be related to gronkowski

[@danthonymitchell1278]

his awareness has to be completely perfect for him not to be able to hear the ball snap .

[@rainbroanderson9413]

he can see it

[@Spurkpvp]

U cant hear a ball snap

[@wannaspritecranberry309]

Danthony Mitchell The QB stomps his feet

[@CaptainJesse]

Silent snaps happen all the time. We do it to try and catch a defense not looking at the ball. Good ole Kyle here will never have the problem of jumping off the cadence

[@JamesFuller1]

Here is a great man. What an inspiration to us all.

[@garrettwolff486]

This dude is absolutely amazing he can run it up the gut or bounce outside. Imagine if he didn't need an interpreter and he could hear he would be even more AMAZING then he already is. He is really college potential! Good luck in the future Kyle! #kylelasherFTW

[@masoneddinger319]

I played him In the State championship in 2017 and He was the hardest back to tackle

[@not677]

Bieng deaf has its advantages for example you dont have to hear the annoying people in the crowd

[@colinbock4357]

but you also can't hear the play call

[@not677]

True but some people are really fucking annoying lol

[@DuffyBlanco]

Or you can have the best of both worlds and get a cochlear implant!

[@robertkane1490]

Colin Bock It ain't so bad in high school

[@arminius.]

i couldnt think of a username so true so then you won't be so nervous when the clock is at like 30 seconds and the crowd is screaming

[@martygi]

Keep going Kyle...your an inspiration man....all the best from Ireland

[@MuppetVT]

This kid is a diamond in the rough. Can he hear play calls or verbal communication by the team? No. But that also means he can't hear fans of opposing players trying to get in his head. He's the perfect player because he just plays his game and doesn't listen to anyone talking bad about him.

[@nikoallen2700]

Yo this ninja deaf and doing all this shit. I can't even get up to get the remote from 2 feet away. This dude is amazing, hope a collage wants him. He's very good.

[@plat2991]

hope he makes it to the NFL

[@brandencote630]

Plat I don't think that school give scholar ships

[@CaptainJesse]

No school gives NFL scholarships. Heck most highschools don't have football scholarships or any that I'm aware of. But I think he'll make into a college no doubt. And he's already been noticed by the nfl. So who knows well see in a couple years. #23 best number you can get.

[@johnmackshighlights8103]

I hope he dose 2 but I think that they would haft to work on how to do audibles and stuff like they

[@bradlygilbert41]

@@CaptainJesse "NFL scholarships." Do you know anything about football?

[@CdnCwby09]

if Derek Coleman from Seattle Seahawks is any example there is no reason why Kyle Lasher will not make it to the NFL

[@supercam6230]

he looks like a younger rob gronkowski and i also like how he makes little noises when he's doing sign language

[@carlhancock4502]

kid is freaking awesome. ........I saw him at one of his football games

[@loganready6601]

this kid is amazing I feel like he could make the nfl

[@ModernManGamer]

Well I mean it's not the first time deaf people played football, hell the "huddle" was invented by deaf people

[@CaptainJesse]

Really? Where did you find that out

[@ishaankataria4742]

@@CaptainJesse google

[@mariofernandez2685]

This was inspirational.

[@benji23Xsav]

Bless this kid and the translator

[@Cgxmps_press]

He would be a secret weapon in the nfl, it would be hard possibly with the sign language but loud fans wouldn’t affect his play.

[@zannyke]

Sometimes I get nervous when any player doesn't switch carrying hands

[@johnpange7158]

Hes that good with no hearing, imagine if he could hear..... his awareness would be off the charts

[@JoshiesWorld]

Actually, no. When a person is a Deaf, their eyes become superior comparing to others who is able to hear and their perspective goes very wide so that they would be aware of their surrounding. Studies have proven that, you can find plenty of research online.

[@Tin-uc5ze]

JoshiesWorld so when one sense doesn’t work the other sense becomes better?

[@yoyomamaGaming]

I disagree also cause he wouldnt be putting in as much work to get better thats why most people dont use there advantages if being a normal person

[@butwere3-0wou]

Tin Usually. Basically it’s compensation for the lack of a sense

[@kylemiller4156]

Lowkeeu cuz he deaf his reflects are better

[@Keena30212]

awesome story....I think the huddle was actually formed at a deaf institution in Washington DC called gallaudet university. ..again I always argue sports is learning

[@jacoblayland614]

So cool seeing this in my hometown

[@joshnorman6654]

Hes from a town over from scranton ive seen him play a few times loved when he torched riverside lmfaooo

[@ryker4672]

Well the good thing is he can't hear the enemy teams trash talk

[@trollface7164]

I hope he plays in the NFL

[@blubbersquid4989]

That’s amazing. Truly is. Both of my grandparents being deaf this warms my heart to see.

[@matttuttle3847]

He needs to go play at Gallaudet University, would be a star for them.

[@flamingdagger7751]

bruh

[@shaunfanning9177]

Matt Tuttle he actually does I played against him in high school he’s a great kid and great football player

[@217BLASTA]

Brooke Rodney not even like you drive out of Dunmore and your in Scranton

[@jackcoleman143]

Kyle Lasher I know exactly what you are going through playing football and being deaf .It is hard not being able to hear the plays or the calls from the sideline let alone my own mom on the sideline cheering, when I make a play it can be tough with the rocky road of communication and the ability to have people understand what you are goin through like you is nice to hear.I live in PA too ha ha

[@ceceliamccullough5939]

Wow, you should be proud of yourself!! Stay strong, stay safe, love you

[@semtext44]

that got me tearing up at the end. go far, young man.

[@fallen6667]

So proud of him! What a fighter.

[@esp5589]

i got to school here. he's truly amazing

[@cmines73]

We had a player with deafness on our team who's interpreter joined as well. By the end of the season she was so into it haha and we basically did gain another coach.

[@DedeontheGo]

I love how sports are starting to shape up this is awesome especially for future kids as in the movie the replacements there was a guy whom was deaf ad well!!!!

[@nesenstaub5]

Amazing guy. Respect!

[@jaydenmayfield4037]

Major respect keep going

[@billyhughes2963]

My football couches make me set the bench even tho i am faster than anyone on my team. I am happy for him he has changed peoples lives by doing football and showing that even tho no matter how hard it is you can be blind, or deaf nothing is impossible.

[@nakedsphynxlake]

It just shows u that no matter what u wanna do . deaf blind? What ever if u put ya mind to it u can di anything. Cheers to the kid . he got a lot of heart.

Watching this in 2018, he is currently playing at Gallaudet University (a college for the deaf) as a freshman RB. His team (as of November 10th) is 3-3 on the season with Kyle having 7 carries for 31 yards and 0 touchdowns. He's averaging 4.4 yards a carry .
