*Talk about having an old soul! Jeremiah Johnson is a 12-year-old running back from Fort Worth, Texas, who has the internet going crazy because his facial hair makes him look like a grown-a** man.
The young athlete became a viral sensation after a photo of him sporting facial hair and a tattoo hit social media. The youth football player was crowned MVP at the 2022 Youth National Championships over the weekend in Miami, The New York Post reports. Johnson plays with Dallas Dragons Elite Academy (DEA) team, which won the championship game.
In a Twitter video, Johnson confirms that he is indeed 12 years old but not everyone is convinced.
Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill tweeted, “If that 12-year-old really 12 my son not playing football, these kids built different.”
