Sydney Frost had no idea her 33-pound baby boy, Carson, would become the internet’s newest sensation when she posted a playful TikTok earlier this month. The Texas mom jokingly “dialed” the NFL on Carson’s round tummy to the beat of Claudia’s “Phone Ya”, tagging teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Detroit Lions. Her caption read: “Dialing the NFL now… Breaking news: No contract for these rolls yet. Coaches, what’s the holdup?”

Within days, her video exploded to over 17.3 million views, and even NFL teams joined in on the fun. The Detroit Lions commented, “You have our attention,” while the Philadelphia Eagles quipped, “We’ll take this one in 20 years thanks!” Fans of all kinds, from baby product brands to major sports teams, flooded the comments section, making lighthearted “recruitment” pitches for the chunky, lovable baby.

The NFL and fans can’t get enough of Carson

One commenter from Tennessee Football declared, “We’ll take him,” while another from Gallagher Chiefs, a rugby team in New Zealand, joked, “How do you feel about moving to NZ for rugby 💪🏼?” Baby gear company Graco chimed in with, “He’s getting drafted this year. Calling it.”

Frost, a mother of three, told Today that Carson’s robust size isn’t too surprising considering her husband is 6’3” and his brothers are 6’8” and 6’9”. While Carson is only five months old, he’s already wearing clothes meant for 18- to 24-month-olds, weighing in at 33 pounds. But Frost reassured everyone that her “linebacker” baby is perfectly healthy. “His pediatrician said his weight is within normal limits considering his other measurements,” she explained.

Fans are loving the “chunky” linebacker baby

Fans have been utterly captivated by Carson’s rolls, and Frost’s sense of humor keeps the content coming. In another TikTok, she joked, “Motherhood can be back-breaking work! Especially when your baby is CHUNKY LIKE THIS!!!” Comments poured in, with strangers calling him everything from “a precious chunk” to “the babiest baby.” One commenter joked, “Ma’am… put him down… he’s late for work🤣 OMG he’s so adorable 🥰,” while another quipped, “My 5-year-old is barely 36lbs. 🤣 He’s tall and skinny.”

"The Eagles need him in uniform by Sunday."

Beyond the laughs, Frost shared how much joy Carson brings to everyone they meet. “We have strangers coming up to us and asking, ‘Can I just squeeze his legs? Is that OK?’” she told Today. Carson’s magnetic charm has made him something of a local celebrity, with fans lovingly dubbing him a “future MVP” and “cutest linebacker in the league.”

Could Carson join the NFL in 20 years?

Sydney and her husband, who also share two daughters, are no strangers to jokes about their growing family. While Carson’s eating habits are on par with his sisters’ at his age, his size is certainly unique. “My husband’s family is super tall, but the broadness? That’s from my side,” Frost joked.

@sydney.frost8 “Looks like the Chunky Baby NFL Draft is in full swing—33 lbs at 5.5 months! Any takers, @NFL @Detroit Lions @Denver Broncos @Dallas Cowboys @New England Patriots @Packers✅ @Houston Texans @SanFrancisco49ers @Stealers @Philadelphia Eagles @NFLonFOX #FirstRoundPicktureMVP” @Madison ♬ NFL theme - Free Diddy

Carson’s viral moment couldn’t have come at a better time for NFL fans, as the league is gearing up for Super Bowl LIX on February 9 in New Orleans. With playoff buzz in the air, fans online joked that Carson could fill in for struggling teams. One commenter teased, “Chiefs better dibs him! We need a left tackle!” Another added, “The Lions really could’ve used him last night. What were y’all doing, come on.”

Even brands and celebrities got in on the fun. Papa Johns commented, “He’s ready 🥺,” while Rice Krispies Treats declared, “That’s a baby boss 😭.” NFL Draft TikTok might just be the internet’s favorite new niche.

As for Carson’s future, Sydney seems content to let the NFL and fans speculate. For now, the Frost family is simply enjoying the hilarity of raising a “chunky” baby who’s captured the hearts of millions.

Will Carson make it to the NFL draft in 20 years? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: This baby’s MVP-worthy charm is already a winner.

Vintage Hollywood bloopers are the behind-the-scenes gold we didn't know we needed

Hollywood’s Golden Age often feels untouchable—a world of glamour, poise, and polished perfection.

Jimmy Stewart, a bit of swearing, and delightful chaos

One standout moment in the video features Jimmy Stewart, Hollywood’s quintessential everyman, seen botching a scene after misunderstanding camera directions. The result? An endearingly confused Stewart fumbling through his marks with his signature charm. "Oh, you're following me? I didn't know that!" he quips as the crew laughs. And, of course, like many of his fellow stars, his polished “Transatlantic” accent disappears the moment the scene falls apart, revealing his more natural speaking voice.
