High School Football Player with One Hand Broke an All Time Receiving Record

Kris Silbaugh is a high school senior in Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania, about 100 miles north of Pittsburgh. And he was born without a left hand. By the time he was five, he could already tie his shoes with one hand, and he made the varsity football team at his high school as a freshman. Which is even more impressive when you find out he's a wide receiver!!!

Kris is 6'3", and runs a 40 yard dash in 4.4 seconds, which is what elite NFL wide receivers run. And he's gotten really good at catching the ball with one hand. So he's not just good for someone with one hand, he's a one handed dominating force. No one on the field can keep up with him, and last Friday, he caught a 43 yard touchdown pass to break his school's all time receiving record.

The old record was 910 yards, and he has another eight games this season to tack on more. He also broke the record for most touchdowns by a receiver last year. Kris says he's just concentrating on the season right now, but he's started getting phone calls from colleges that want to recruit him!
