Ready to see the most adorable thing you'll see all day? This video, posted to Cleveland Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins' Instagram should do the trick. In it, Hawkins asks his 2-year-old toddler, Austin, who his favorite player is, and the answer isn't Hawkins himself:
Andrew Hawkins favorite player
Austin replies "Sanu and A.J.," and is referring to Mohamed Sanu and A.J. Green, Hawkins' two former teammates, from his days as a Cincinnati Bengal. It's hard to pick out the best thing about this video. For one, little Austin is so adorable that you can now proceed with the rest of your Friday with significantly more cheer than you might have before seeing him.
For another, who can't relate to this? Your child, in all of their innocent candor, declaring you cool, but just slightly less cool than someone else. That's what makes the caption to this video, "Only Hawkins fans allowed under my roof" so funny. It's clear the video is all in good fun, and if you spend any more time on Hawkins' Instagram, it's easy to see that he's a dedicated family man and all-around cool dad.
If you had a good week, you can now declare this a perfect way to end it. If your week was less than stellar, consider this the thing that makes it all better. Happy Friday!
