Calder Hodge is a 14-year-old quarterback from Magnolia, Texas, but he’s not your average quarterback. Carter was born with fibular hemimelia, a birth defect that left him without tibia bones in both of his legs, and had to have his legs amputated when he was just 2 and a half years old.

However, that hasn’t stopped him from trying to turn his dreams into reality.

On Friday, the Magnolia, Texas native was in attendance at the Detroit Lions’ instrasqaud scrimmage and it ended up turning into the best day of his life pretty quickly. It all started when Marvin Jones asked Calder to throw him some warm-up passes and it only got better from there.



After completing his warm-up passes, Hodge was approached by Lions quarterback Matt Stafford, who asked him to come onto the field to run a play. Not only did Calder complete the pass on his first snap at Ford Field, but he threw a touchdown, too.



Calder is a baller.

Calder’s dream is to become the first double amputee quarterback in the NFL and he got one step closer to his dream on Friday thanks to the Detroit Lions organization.
