The Pro Bowl Game brings a sense of relief and whips the vacation mode in after a grueling regular season and the playoffs for some. And this year’s fanfare in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium made things extra special. Understandably, the celebrations came in full swing. And Aaiden Diggs was part of it all.

Dallas Cowboys secondary Trevon Diggs’ son Aaiden put on a show on the sidelines when he did the ‘griddy’ steps. However, the NFL world was at a loss regarding the exact identity of Aaiden’s dance partner. Only known as Johnny, fans were wondering if he was the son of a past or present NFL player.

The real stars of the weekend,” US Nike Football’s official handle commented. However, the majority of the fans were still not entirely sure about Johnny’s exact roots. “Who is Johhny,” several fans asked in the comments. Well, from the looks of it, Johnny is not related to any NFL player or coaching staff. He is, in fact, a Super Jets fan who was lucky to get the most-expenses-paid trip to Sin City for the Pro Bowls.

One fan noticed Aaiden’s swashbuckling kicks as well. “Aaiden with the Travis Scott Jordans,” the comment read.”Diggs fit goes hard,” another fashion love commented. “It seems like the son is making more money than his daddy this pro bowl. I see no problem with that tho. Baby gotta earn these new shoes,” another fan said about Diggs’ Jordans.

Aaiden Diggs has seen the spotlight before

Super Johnny also had the opportunity to have a one-on-one personal interview with Aaiden’s dad, Trevon Diggs. And little Diggs was also present there, enjoying some ice cream. For those wanting more information on Johnny, he even goes on to confess that his dream is to one day become the Commissioner of the NFL. So it’s more of a Goodell problem.

However, this is not the first time Aaiden Diggs stole the show from the sidelines. The 6-year-old even worked with HBO two years ago as a part of their sports documentary series, ‘Hard Knocks’. Little Aaiden had given a pumped-up interview from the stands about his father, Trevon.

Aaiden also joined the cornerback in a press conference when he matched his father’s height by standing on a chair. “Dallas is gonna win the Super Bowl today because this is my favorite team,” he had said in the heartwarming video posted by the Cowboys. However, that prediction didn’t come true for the Diggs. But he will be back rooting for America’s Team next season, and maybe some more ‘griddy-s’ are on the way.
