Madden San Miguel (born June 4, 2012), known by his nickname Baby Gronk, is an American youth football player and social media personality.

[17] Miguel's internet fame garnered the attention of rapper Boosie Badazz, who signed him to his marketing and sports management group in May 2020.
[16] The collaboration with Dunne resulted in a public backlash over the sexualization of a child, with Miguel's father Jake receiving criticism for stage parenting and monetarily profiting off his son's internet content.
Social media commentators focused particularly on a segment of the episode in which Jake feeds his son answers to questions including whether he would take Dunne to prom.
[16] Writing for The Irish Times, Dave Hannigan ridiculed the move, remarking "A kid fooling around online or serious brand pivot by a father worried about how much the world is appalled at his child exploitation?
On June 28, while appearing at Tight End University, Rob Gronkowski revealed that Jake had contacted him 500 times in the month prior while on Will Compton and Taylor Lewan's podcast.
Baby Gronk was illustrated as the personification behind the increasing trend of American parents forcing their children to commit much of their youth to sports, largely as a way to combat record-low college admissions rates.
