In recent times, the spotlight has been shining on Baby Gronk, the 10-year-old football prodigy whose TikTok posts have captivated the internet. However, it’s not just his impressive skills that have been making waves—it’s the relentless push for fame by his father, Jake San Miguel, that has drawn criticism and caught the attention of NFL star Rob Gronkowski.
Gronkowski was asked about Baby Gronk and his father’s efforts to make him a viral sensation. In response, Gronkowski didn’t hold back, expressing his frustration with the situation. He stated, “He hit me up 500 times… It’s just awkward, annoying… I feel like he’s overdoing it, for sure.”
Gronkowski’s comments shed light on the excessive nature of the San Miguel family’s pursuit of viral fame for Baby Gronk. One can say that the young athlete’s talent is undeniable but the continuous media appearances orchestrated by his father are definitely an “overdo”.
