This Little Dude With Dwarfism Going Viral Is Probably The Best Reason To Root For The Falcons You'll See This Super Bowl

Fox Carolina – When the Atlanta Falcons take the field at the Super Bowl on Sunday in Houston, one of their smallest fans will be cheering them on back home: Wyatt Keeton, a 17-month-old with dwarfism who’s melted hearts everywhere.

“We like to think of Wyatt as our little underdog, just like the Falcons have been an underdog this season,” said Wyatt’s mom, Jennifer Keeton, 34. “Nobody gives them a lot of credit or thinks they’re going to do much. Wyatt, just like the Falcons, is going to prove them all wrong.”

Dressed in his No. 11 Julio Jones jersey, Wyatt’s cuteness was on full display when his parents sat down to share his story and to speak out for the little people of America.

Asked about a touchdown, Wyatt launched both hands over his head, the referee’s signal for a score. Told to show his muscles, he flexed and grunted.

“Are the Falcons No. 1?” he was asked.

Wyatt, who speaks only a few words so far, wagged his index finger in the air.

This one caught my eye while scanning for stuff to blog today and I thought it was kind of a nice thing to share. I’m sure there are adorable little Pats fans out there too who’d be just as good going viral (excluding noted little shit Patrick McGillicuddy) but it’s kind of nice to hear about a little guy who’s had a tough fight growing up being aware enough to get amped for his team. You can read the full story on Wyatt’s condition and upbringing and you’ll definitely see why this is at least one solid reason to root for the Falcons this weekend even if it will greatly affect t-shirt sales margins for your favorite pseudo sports blog with a Comedy Central show.

That said I have some fears I’m going to be feeling bad for lil Wyatt on Sunday when Matt Ryan reverts to vintage Playoff Matty Ice mode and gets washed by a Bill Belichick coached team who’s ready for everything Atlanta can throw at them. But until then, here’s hoping it’s a good day for Wyatt or at least one memory that he can easily repress and move on from.

Also he 1000% looks like the little boy duck from Darkwing Duck and that takes the cake for me, love that guy:
