The Detroit Lions did some early recruitment after a video of a 31-pound baby went viral on TikTok.
Mom and user Madison Peltzer posted clips of her baby, with the video gaining over 10 million views on the platform. She revealed that her six-month-old son is in the ’99th percentile for everything’ with his weight.
After seeing the clip, the Lions’ social media account quickly chimed in on the conversation with a one-word comment.
‘Dibs,’ the team’s TikTok admin wrote.
In another video, Madison acknowledged the comment, writing ‘@Detroit Lions, give us a few years & we’re there.’
Peltzer previously revealed that her son is exclusively breastfed and weighed 9lbs and 2oz at birth.

‘Welcome to the Detroit Lions little man!!’ one fan wrote.
‘Future Lions lineman,’ another wrote with a handshake emoji.
‘Bro will be going to the Lions,’ added a third.
The Lions finished the season with a 15-2 record and are favorites to win the NFC after losing in the conference тιтle match last year.
