First Posted: 02/24/11 01:22 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:35 PM ET

Get ready for another trick shot video! This time, the 8-year-old Daron Bryden shows off his accuracy. That's right... he's an 8-year-old! Bryden, who plays in a youth league in Manchester, Conn., performs three trick passes on a basketball court. The Manchester Sentinals quarterback tosses the ball in a trash can from several feet away and even makes a shot from half court. Scroll down to watch the video. Maybe you will be more impressed with Bryden than Johnny McEntee and Alex Tanney.

This only matters if he gets to 6'2". Otherwise he'll have a great high school career.

Awesome! I don't care that it took extra throws to make those. Anybody who has been around sports knows that that kid has an excellent arm. It's not often an 8 y/o can throw with that kind of accuracy and distance. Good luck to him.

that's nuts. Hopefully he doesn't throw too much too early while his arm is still developing!

Thanks.. He throws right mechanics that wouldnt ruin his arm. He has his qb coach he trains with Travis Meyer from fivestarquarterbacks. He sees his coach once a week and practice 2-3 depending my work schedule. he loves to practice! I never play football before in my life!

Like any other trick shot video, it's unclear how many takes were required for each shot. Still, very impressive for that age. Let's hope he grows enough to be able to play later on.

Thank you. It took Daron 5 shots for half court. Took him 2 shots for sneakers and 11 shots for 30 yards in the bucket. He hit the bucket few times before it finally went IN the bucket. Glad you liked it. His QB Coach is Travis Meyer from fivestarquarterbacks.com

h r his grades?
06:21 PM on 02/24/2011
His grades are great (3rd grade) and is a hard worker. He does his homework right away when he gets home from school. I told Daron school is more important first because it would help him gets in college and play college football!

Your funny! Believe all you want my friend. Or come down to American School for the Deaf to watch my son Daron practice anytime. Your welcome to come!

Maybe not fake, but I could look pretty impressive too if I tried something a million times and edited the successful attempts together. I'm sure he missed way more than he made...not hatin though. Good luck to him in the future, but yes, like amplow I'm wondering how his grades are...
