The pee-wee flag leagues in Dallas start at four years of age. Price was being sneaked onto the field for a team called the Cowboys when he was three.
“I was a foot tall,” Price said.
At age seven, Price joined the Redbird Raiders, a Pop Warner team coached by Ken Ewing. The two still talk often.
“Coach Ken” is a character, a coach at heart and a guy who wasn’t afraid to pass along to Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell, “You tell K.O. to put Myles at slot receiver and he won’t regret it because I promise you everything Justin Jefferson is doing, Myles is soaking it up and working twice as hard at it as Justin.”
The Redbird Raiders used to have Friday night sleepovers. The rest of the kids would be asleep when Coach Ken would come downstairs and see little Myles watching film at 3 a.m.
“I taped our games, filmed teams we’d play,” Ewing said. “One time, we’re playing our rivals, the Texans, and Myles is watching tape at 3 a.m. saying if they run that screen tomorrow, I’m picking it and going to the house.”
