Social media sensation Baby Gronk’s fame hit another level this week thanks to a TikTok video featuring him with LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne.
Madden San Miguel (aka Baby Gronk) is a 10-year-old football player who has grabbed the attention of college football programs and is currently on a recruiting trip across the country, which is why he and Dunne came together.
Things began as fun until a profile on “Baby Gronk” and his father by The Athletic hit the internet.
Jake San Miguel, the father of “Baby Gronk”, says that his son is on an intense training regimen to become an elite football player, and not everybody agrees with what he is doing to his son.
“He’s a real athlete. He’s not a normal kid,” San Miguel said of his ten-year-old son. “He has been trained and programmed since he was 6 years old.”
Many folks had their opinion on the matter as one fan tagged future Hall of Famer J.J. Watt to get his thoughts on it.

“I’ve always said… Kids should play multiple sports and kids should be allowed to be kids. I’m not against advanced leagues, better competition, etc.,” said Watt.
“But no kid should be playing one sport all year & no kid should be training “like a pro” until at least HS. They’re kids.”
Baby Gronk boasts a substantial following of over 700k across various social media platforms. He has been in the spotlight for over three years.
With his continued presence in the spotlight, it is expected that Madden San Miguel will remain a prominent figure for years to come.
His social media following will only get bigger, meaning huge NIL deals will be in his future just in case his football career doesn’t pan out as his father hopes.
