Brenden Adams - World Tallest Teen

Some people don't have to do anything to gain fame. Brendan Adams is one of those people. Brendan Adams is only 14, and his mother didn't want him to play middle school football. She was afraid he might get hurt.

Brenden Adams is 7 foot 5 inches -- making him the world's tallest teen, according to Guinness World Records.

Brendan told Melissa Luck, an executive producer for KXLY4 in Spokane, Wash., "It was my 12th chromosome that broke in half and flipped over and reattached," although doctors do not know what exactly caused his rapid growth after birth.

Still, he is extremely limited on the football field. "He can't run, he can't really jump," his coach Kevin Wetzel told KXLY4. "There's not a whole lot he can do. If you want to get him some action, you have to be creative."

So Wetzel designed a play specifically for him. He goes out on a five-yard buttonhook play and the quarterback just floats the ball up to him. Even the next tallest player on the field can't jump nearly as high as Brendan can reach.
