Sam Gordon – Best Athletes of 2014 | Complex

Sport: Football
Age: 11
Achievements: Scored 15 TDs while averaging 13 yards per carry; tallied 59 tackles and three INTs; hit like a girl
New Year’s resolution: Land another Wheaties box.
Quote: “I like defense, because I’m the smallest one out there, plus I’m a girl and I’m tackling all the biggest guys.”

Spike may not play with girls, but the rest of Utah’s Jordan School District has no such option. Sam “Sweet Feet” Gordon, a modern-day Ice Box and one hell of a running back, first burst onto the scene in 2012. During that season, while playing against all-male counterparts, she racked up 35 touchdowns and 1,911 yards on 232 carries. Oh,yeah, she also tallied 65 solo tackles on the other side of the ball. She was just nine years old. After her dad uploaded her highlight reel to YouTube, talk show appearances and the cover of a Wheaties box beckoned, as did a Super Bowl invitation from Roger Goodell and a hangout with the U.S. Women’s national soccer team.

Fast forward to 2014. Standing 4 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 70 pounds, Gordon, who took last season off to focus on soccer, had a seamless return to the gridiron. In her first preseason game she had three carries for 84 yards and a score. She finished the season averaging a ridiculous 13 yards per carry, and racked up 15 touchdowns on the ground. On defense, she recorded 59 tackles, three interceptions, and one fumble recovery. We really can’t wait to see what’s next.—Adam Silvers (@silversurfer103)
