NFL fans were completely fooled by a social media post that made some wild claims about the “Hawk Tuah” Girl and the Minnesota Vikings.
The NFC North News X/Twitter account put out a tweet in which they reported that Haliey Welch would blow the team’s famed Gjallarhorn before their home opener against the San Francisco 49ers next season following quarterback Sam Darnold getting caught “shooting his shot” at the internet sensation.
“BREAKING: The viral “Hawk Tauh” girl is going to get the honor of blowing the #Vikings Gjallarhorn before Minnesota’s home opener vs the #49ers,” it reads.
“This comes days after Minnesota’s starting QB Sam Darnold was seen on Instagram “shooting his shot” with the new internet star. WOW.”
