The viral video of the kid dubbed “Mini Cheetah” captured the attention of the Cheetah himself, Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frank Crawford III, who dons a Hill jersey and goes by Lil Franco or Mini Cheetah, went viral for his speed, jukes and spins against neighborhood kids. The video posted to\u00a0<\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a>\u00a0has amassed more than 215,000 views as people were enthralled with the youngster’s ability to get past the opponent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, a player with this skill set and nickname made Hill take notice. He\u00a0<\/span>stopped by a game in the Miami area<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to surprise Lil Cheetah and the rest of the players — and got his own surprise in return, as Crawford presented him with the Nickelodeon Valuable Player (NVP) award for his Week 1 performance and poured slime on him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon Hill’s arrival, the group of kids immediately swarmed. A video circulated from accounts including Bleacher Report and the Dolphins’ page of Lil Cheetah’s highlights and of Hill meeting up with the kids, presenting Lil Franco with a jersey, agreeing to a race with all the young athletes, and giving a wholesome message to the star of the show.<\/p>\n

“I’ll see you at the next level.” Hill said. “I’ll be coaching you, alright?”<\/p>\n
