In a move that’s equal parts hilarious and genius, TikTok creator Madison Peltzer recently shared a video of her son, who’s in the 99th growth percentile. Apparently, the Detroit Lions’ social media team was all in and decided to leave a cheeky comment: “Dibs.” No, this isn’t a joke — the Lions are jokingly calling dibs on a 31-pound baby.
Why the Lions Are Doing This (Sort Of)
Detroit’s all about thinking outside the box. This baby recruitment stunt shows they’re not just looking for athletic talent — they’re looking for unique personalities, and apparently, babies make the cut.
It’s all fun and games, of course, but it also speaks to the Lions' larger philosophy of being ahead of the curve. While other teams are scouting college prospects, Detroit is looking for players who are still in their cribs. They’re not waiting for greatness — they’re planning for it. (YES, WE ARE KIDDING!)
The Bottom Line: The Future is Bright (and Tiny)
In a world where every team is looking for an edge, the Lions are taking the scouting game to new, adorable heights. Whether or not we’ll see this giant baby on the field in 20 years remains to be seen. But if the Lions are this creative with their recruiting, we might just be witnessing the start of something big… and maybe a little bit chubby.
