Video: Best 9-year-old LB may be in Norfolk, Va.

Talent can sometimes be precocious. And sometimes it can reveal the future.

We don't which it will be in the case of 9-year-old Brian Pope.

But we know that the linebacker for the Norfolk (Va.) Saints of the Pop Warner League was taught tackling technique by somebody who knew the game.

At a time when middle school kids are getting recruiting mail, Pope might want to get a post office box.

(Thanks to Cameron Smith of Prep Rally for the video assist and for the info that Pope is a straight-A fourth-grader)
