Eight-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl Champion Tyreek Hill is arguably one of the greatest route runners of his generation. But when it comes to talking a big game, even the “Cheetah” himself might have finally met his match.

Enter Baby Gronk, the 12-year-old social media personality who isn’t exactly shy about letting the world know he’s “better” than the NFL’s best.
Baby Gronk—real name Madden San Miguel—just told Tyreek to his face that he was the superior wide receiver. And the Dolphins star responded the only way he could have to such an outrageous claim — with laughter. And some signature Tyreek Hill logic.
This interaction was shared online by San Miguel himself, starting with him confidently making the outrageous claim that he’s better. Tyreek, face-palming through most of the video, felt the need to throw a reality check his way.
“(Better than) Me? You haven’t even played against real competition yet. I haven’t seen you play against one Black guy,” shot back the Dolphins WR.
While Baby Gronk tried to insist he has played against stronger foes, the Super Bowl winner wasn’t buying it. “You only play against white boys,” Tyreek piled on.
Still undeterred, Baby Gronk doubled down: “Bro, I’m better at it than you. I have better routes, I am faster, and everything… I can destroy the defense.” And that’s when Hill couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“Who told you that? The grill in your mouth?” Hill asked, laughing incredulously.

As expected, the conversation between the two has spread like wildfire on social media. And expectedly, NFL fans were more than a bit teed off by Baby Gronk’s antics.
They even thanked Tyreek for humbling the social media star, which many thought was the need of the hour. Some also called out Baby Gronk’s guardians for letting the kid waste a ‘golden opportunity’ to converse with a star NFL wide receiver and instead use the meeting for a shallow, attention-grabbing antic.
Kid needed to get humbled

Whoever is guiding this kid is a straight up fool!
Imagine getting to meet one of the most elite wide receivers in the NFL and disrespecting him like this.
Hopefully this is all for social media, because this kid’s mouth is writing checks his ass can’t cash!

I mean someone HAS to do it. His dad is doing TOO to make his confidence like that. What kid should be having jewelry like him on his neck? His dad is exploiting him for his own benefit, nothing else but

Others, meanwhile, wondered how Baby Gronk got famous in the first place.
Why is this kid famous? Lmao

To be fair to Baby Gronk, he’s no ordinary 12-year-old. With nearly 700,000 Instagram followers, sponsorships, and viral fame, he’s more than just a youthful football player—he’s a social media phenomenon.
That being said, while his name might be inspired by Rob Gronkowski, and his confidence levels are through the roof, it’s safe to say he won’t be running better routes than Tyreek Hill anytime soon.
An actual match-up between Baby Gronk and Tyreek Hill would be laughable. But what could be an intriguing face-off would be between the 12-year-old and YouTuber and even brasher social media personality iShowSpeed—something most Gen Alphas would be hyped for.
