  1. Yo this dude breaks ankles better than any NFL athlete I know. Browns or Jaguars should sign him up as a running back to make them win more games lol.

  2. The footwork isn’t shit, most of the comments say that they can all step like that but the vision he has after crossing one defender than switching up on the next two while getting a pass away to the winger without being touched is the reason I kept watching…

  5. OOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I play oztag I’m 78 kilo 11 year old wish I could step like that😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😮💯💯💯💯💯

  6. His side step is so precise and symmetrical. My left and right foot step are so different from each other but this guy is just top shit goated with his movement

  7. SJ's dad actually filmed this and warriors said he was too small in high school and practically didn't want him until they seen this video then the rest is history

  8. Such a shame he had a few nasty injuries that kept him out for some time. He never really got that confidence and blistering speed back. Nz develops the best steppers rugby/league/touch…. Its an art
