“The Biggest 12-Year-Old Football Player in the Nation” Jeremiah Johnson, a 12-year-old running back from Fort Worth, Texas, has the internet dumbfounded over his size and maturity. The athlete became a viral sensation after a photo of him sporting what appeared to be facial hair and a tattoo surfaced on social media following the 2022 Youth National Championships. Johnson is 5-foot-11, 198 pounds, according to a Twitter account. One person tweeted, “Aint no f–king way this person 12,” while another added, “I demand Jeremiah Johnson’s birth certificate. And not the ‘I am 12’ kind from the ‘Benchwarmers.’”
