WATCH: Youth football player hits WWE-style spinebuster on opposing running back
Well, that's one way to tackle somebody

Youth sports are full of mismatches. Some kids develop a bit faster than others, leading to extreme differences in size, strength and athleticism among players in the same age group.
Usually things even out as players get older, but at any given point in time there can be a mismatch that gets exploited to the fullest.
Exhibit A:
This kid has been watching way too much WWE. And he's apparently a fan of Triple H.
It looks like the kid was trying to get low and make a proper tackle, but once he lifted the runner (who is about half his size) off the ground, he could have put him down on his feet, tapped him on the helmet and said "nice try."
That's probably a bit too much to ask of a young man in the heat of competition who's just starting to realize that he's capable of physically dominating opposing players.
One thing's for sure -- that running back is probably rethinking his football career.
