When it comes to NFL-themed Halloween costumes this year, we can expect to see a lot of people dressing up as Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. But in Miami, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is proving to be a popular option.
McDaniel himself could not believe it.
A day after a video went viral showing a young Dolphins fan dressed up as McDaniel and recreating the head coach’s hilarious sprint away from the NBC cameras, McDaniel was asked for his thoughts on kids dressing up as him. Reporters also wanted to know what goes into the perfect Mike McDaniel costume.
And in true McDaniel fashion, he was taken aback that he could even be a Halloween costume.

“Was I faster than the kid?” He always asks the important questions.
McDaniel’s reaction was great, and he found a way to give credit to his own players for his popularity amongst young fans. After all, if the team wasn’t playing well, you wouldn’t see kids dress up as the head coach. He simply refused to believe that it was true, and reporters offered to show him the video.
That’s when you know you’ve truly made it.
Fans loved McDaniel’s reaction as well.
