Jeremiah Johnson is a 12-year-old football player who shockedNFL Twitter when he won the 12-under MVP award at the Youth National Championships in Miami earlier this week.
When his picture posing with the MVP trophy surfaced on social media, NFL Twitter couldn’t believe the size of the preteen, who already has a mustache and a half-sleeve of tattoos.
Another video popped up shortly after of Johnson confirming his age to an older gentleman, who is also in disbelief of the 12-year-old’s physique.
“If they don’t go to the NFL, it’s racism,” the man says.
Johnson laughs it off before the man tells him that he’s ready to play in the league.
12-year-old NFL prospect
Despite the countless memes generated after the initial shock of seeing Johnson, the 12-year-old is likely going to stay on the radar of NFL teams.
Johnson obviously has a long way to go before being eligible to get drafted, but if he continues winning MVP trophies, it’s almost a given that he’ll end up in the league.
Johnson is a running back who will only continue to grow and possibly change his position into a linebacker by the time he’s an adult.
While it’s not a sure thing that Johnson will end up in the NFL, it is a near certainty that he’ll be terrorizing his much smaller opponents for years to come.
