*Talk about having an old soul! Jeremiah Johnson is a 12-year-old running back from Fort Worth, Texas, who has the internet going crazy because his facial hair makes him look like a grown-a** man.

The young athlete became a viral sensation after a photo of him sporting facial hair and a tattoo hit social media.
