Some guys just have athlete in their blood, and BJ LaFell BJ LaFell 5'11" | 155 lbs | ATH Shadow Creek | 2029 State TX definitely fits that description. LaFell’s dad Brandon was a former NFL wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, and now his son looks to do the same. BJ is a stud scrambling QB and DB for the Thorton Thundercats. Along with playing on the gridiron, LaFell is also a star on the hardwood as well, shining in junior high basketball. LaFell demonstrates great leaping ability, effortlessly jumping over defenders who get in his way. LaFell also uses that jumping ability to contest passes as a corner, leading to him being a PBU machine. While LaFell may be a better runner than pure Quarterback, no matter where he plays he will be a weapon to be feared.
