There are over eight billion people alive right now, so everyone is bound to have several near-exact lookalikes. The popular term for that, of course, is a “doppelganger.”
The Nati King account on X (formerly known as Twitter), began a viral thread by choosing a doppelganger for several active and retired NFL stars. As of midnight Monday, The Nati King had selected lookalikes for 20 players.
The Nati King began the thread by comparing Buffalo Bills’ star quarterback Josh Allen to Dug the dog from the 2009 Pixar-Disney film “Up”. That was followed up by a comparison of San Francisco 49ers’ backup QB Sam Darnold to Syndrome from “The Incredibles”.
Two more spot-on doppelganger from the first two “Home Alone” movies: Cincinnati Bengals’ signal-caller Joe Burrow and Macaulay Culkin’s character, Kevin McCallister, and Las Vegas Raiders’ quarterback Derek Carr to Daniel Stern’s character, “Marv”.

Going back to more animated characters: Las Vegas Raiders’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo to Flynn Rider from “Tangled” and Los Angeles Chargers’ signal-caller Justin Herbert to Kristoff from “Frozen.”
For good measure, how about this one from the Morning Huddle that shows a strong resemblance between Minnesota Vikings’ QB Kirk Cousins and Ben Stiller’s character, White Goodman, from “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.”
