Muhammad Ali's grandson Biaggio Ali-Walsh seems to be following footsteps of his grandfather by although making name in a different sport, football, but with the same speed.

The American former professional boxer's 16-year-old grandson is turning heads on the American football field as he scored scoring 10 touchdowns and ran nearly 600 yards from just 49 carries and became a standout player as Bishop Gorman claimed their sixth straight league championship, the Mirror has reported.

Sean Manuel, Ali-Walsh's coach believes that his student is one of the quickest young footballers he has ever seen as he has a game-changing speed which is obviously gifted from his 73-year-old grandpa.

Ali-Walsh is also well aware of the fact that being a grandson of one of the greatest sportsman of all-time will have people suggesting that he has only achieved what his granddad has because of the name, but in actual the budding football ace is determined to make a name in sport off his own back so nobody can say he only got their because of his grandfather.
