Aaiden has been spotted cheering his dad on during Dallas Cowboys games. When Aaiden was 4 years old, he appeared in the HBO sports documentary seriesHard Knocks, where he was interviewed about his dad while sitting in the stands during a game.

“My dad’s named Trevon,” Aaiden said before leading a loud chant for “Tre-von Diggs!” He then gave a motivational speech to his dad from the stands, shouting, “Believe in yourself! Make sure you do good! Break those ankles!”

In 2021, the NFLshared a videowhere Aaiden and Trevon react to their appearances inHard Knocks. “My dad is the best cornerback in the world. He makes picks for me and I love it,” Aaiden said.

“I said, ‘Okay, I’ll try,’ and it just happened,” he added. “[The Giants] threw the ball and I got a forced fumble, so I said, ‘Here you go. This is good enough.' "

His favorite quarterback is Dak Prescott

Trevon isn’t the only player Aaiden cheers on. During one episode ofHard Knocks, Aaiden shared that his favorite quarterback is the Cowboys' Dak Prescott. “Imma train for Dak Prescott,” he said. “He’s myfavorite quarterbackin my whole entire world. I want his phone number.”

Right after, Prescott walked into the room to surprise Aaiden, who didn’t recognize him. Instead, Aaiden confused him forPatrick Mahomes. The sweet moment quickly went viral.

TheCowboys shared a videofrom their 2022 training camp, where Aaiden was playing on the field when he spotted Prescott. “Oh, I see Dak, I see Dak Prescott!” he said. He ran up to Prescott to say hi, and Prescott threw a football for him to catch. Prescott joked, “You catch better than your dad already.”

Football runs in his family

Aaiden’s uncles —Trevon’s older brothers — also play football:Stefon Diggsis a star receiver for the Buffalo Bills and Mar’Sean Diggs played for the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

“I’ve relied on him a lot because he went through everything, he did the whole draft process, he did the whole college thing, the whole high school thing,” Trevon said of Stefon, according toThe Dallas Morning News. “He is my father figure. It’s just a blessing to have him, just to ask him questions.”

Aaiden is close with Stefon as well. OnHard Knocks, Trevon’s mom Stephanie said that Aaiden and Stefon have the two biggest personalities in the family. Aaiden also demonstrated how his dad and uncle warm up before sharing his own drills. Then, he showed off his elaborate “touchdown dance,” after saying he’s going to skip flag football and go straight to tackle.

He plays baseball

Though Aaiden is a huge football fan, he also plays baseball.

In April 2022, Stephanieposted a photo of Aaidenat his first game. “My grandson first baseball game,” she wrote. “He tried to get [an] interception. I told him wrong game. Lol!”

Inanother post, Aaiden was on deck, preparing to go up to bat. “Believe in yourself. You got this,” he says.

He’s not afraid to be honest with NFL players

Aaiden is not afraid to tell even the biggest NFL players what he thinks.

In an interview withSports Illustrated, Stephanie recalled how Aaiden admonished Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott at a birthday party. “Zeke, you don’t run very hard!” he reportedly said. “You don’t hit the holes very hard!”

He’s very thankful

In November 2021, Aaiden wished Cowboys fans a happy Thanksgiving ahead of the team’s game. “I love Thanksgiving! A day for food and family and football!” he said inthe promo video.

“Today I want to give thanks to all the quarterbacks that throw my dad the football,” he added. “You are all greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!”

He attended his first Pro Bowl in February 2023

Aaiden traveled to Las Vegas with Trevon for the 2023 Pro Bowl. TheNFL’s TikTok accountfeatured an interview with the tiny football fan ahead of the big event.

“This is my first time at the Pro Bowl, and I’m excited,” Aaiden said. “I met Kirk Cousins, Jaire Alexander, Ja’Marr Chase [and] Jalen Ramsey.”

He went on to share that his favorite NFL players (aside from his dad) are Stefon Diggs and Justin Jefferson.

“They’re both No. 1,” Aaiden said. “They’re really good and they have a lot of personalities. They’re just really good football players.”
