Who knew Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell was in the market for scouting giant babies?
We wouldn't blame him, considering the Lions have offensive tackle Dan Skipper, who towers at 6'10, the tallest active player in the NFL.
When you see an opportunity, you pounce, and that's what appeared to happen when a six-month-old giant baby hilariously went viral after the Detroit Lions social media account recruited him as a future NFL star.
On Sunday, a mom named Madison, a.k.a. TikToker @madisonpeltzer, showed off her big baby boy with the caption:
"He’s in the 99th percentile for everything 🫠 we love a chunky baby!!!!"
The accompanying video showed her carrying her "chunky baby" with a text overlay that reads, "When your six month old is 31 lbs."
Well, it seems that the NFL team prophesied great things to come for the chunky child after seeing Madison's TikTok clip because they just called "Dibs" in the comments.
A screenshot of the interaction was shared by the Instagram accounts for espnW, ESPN, SportsCenter, NFL on ESPN, and SportsCenter NEXT.
Fans were here for it.

Madison responded to the Lions with a follow-up clip, telling them to get ready.
"Give us a few years & we’re there," she wrote in the caption.
One day, the potential future NFL star will look back on this and revel in his origin story.
