Madden San Miguel, better known as Baby Gronk, is a football prodigy and a social media influencer who has accumulated over 320k followers on his Instagram accounts. The 10-year-old kid’s social media accounts are being managed by his father Jake San Miguel, who recently opened up about the endgame of the marketing of his son.
During a recent interview with The Athletic, the former high school football player Jake San Miguel talked about his son Baby Gronk and the pros and struggles of being a social media influencer at such a young age. Baby Gronk is a prominent name on social media and has been seen with many celebrities and athletes, including the LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne.
“I do marketing, man,” Jake said in an interview with The Athletic. “I manage everything, I know a lot of people, I have friends who played in the NFL, I have friends who coach in the Power 5. Former teammates from my high school team. I know people who run social medias for a lot companies.”
Furthermore, Jake also made it clear everything they do on social media is purely for content. Jake claims that Madden is actually a very advanced kid and plays five different sports. According to Jake San Miguel, Baby Gronk is a better baseball player than a football player. Baby Gronk’s ultimate goal is to play in the NFL. However, Jake knows it is very hard to even get into the NFL, let alone make it big in the league. That’s the reason Jake is marketing Madden at a very young age.

Jake San Miguel wants to make Baby Gronk a millionaire soon
Jake San Miguel, the father of the Internet sensation Baby Gronk, claims that he is marketing his son at a young age so that he wouldn’t have to worry about finances later in life.
“By the time he’s a senior in high school, he’s a millionaire and above and he’s well taken care of,” said Jake. “That way he can live a good life without struggle or worry. It’s the insurance behind sports. You don’t have to go pro anymore. Like Livvy Dunne, she’s set for life already because of the internet.”
Madden San Miguel has been an Internet football sensation for a long time, but his recent celebration with one of the most popular college athletes Livvy Dunne led to him going viral on social media.
Many people criticize Madden’s father Jake and accuse him of using his 10-year-old kid to get famous on social media, but it seems like Jake doesn’t care about the haters and continues to build a brand for his son’s future.
