Can you feel it? Football is upon us, from the piercing yell of a Telemundo call to that slight chill the air gets when the calendar turns to August, even though it’s still hot as blazes most of the time. The season is right around the corner, finally, and all the work we put in, the sacrificing, the toiling of watching sports that we like but don’t really like that much, and going to weddings, and spending time doing work around the house is finally going to pay off.

We are getting the sport that we put all our energy into even when our team is not even sniffing a bowl or the playoffs back. And nothing’s going to stop us now. Take it away, Starship.

But we can’t just roll right into football season without getting ready. We need a preseason too. And that means reading as much as we possibly can to get as hyped as humanly possible. Depth charts, rankings, lists, analysis, previews, camp reports, hell, even highlight videos. Every piece of content must be devoured as if we are a parasitic alien hell bent on using up every natural resource on a planet and moving on across the galaxy until there is nothing left but darkness and carbon.

Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. Here are 15 pictures of babies doing football stuff that are sure to get you completely jacked up for the season. Football’s almost here, folks. Hold onto your butts.

This baby can’t even right now. Football season is coming soon, and he is ready to get after it. At least he has his helmet. The NFL is really concerned about head injuries and promoting player safety these days.

This baby is pondering the existence of spending an entire week of preparation on validating his happiness one way or the other based on the result of a three-hour event he has no control over. He’s also hungry as heck (for knowledge, for a win, and for apple sauce).

I know at least one person who would’ve given the ball to Beast Mode on the goal line in Super Bowl XLIX.

Oh, hell yeah. Look at how much grit and moxie this baby has. So much wonder in his eyes. The promise of a brighter tomorrow. The Browns are still going 4-12, you doofus. Enjoy being miserable.

This baby is definitely a Patriots fan and will grow up to send threatening messages to a courtroom sketch artist or a priest or the guy in the drive-thru at a Dunkin’ Donuts.

How are you going to get a scholarship and get drafted in the first round by your precious Steelers if you can’t even pick up the dang ball? Get in the weight room, son. You don’t see Franco Harris skipping leg day.

Okay, so the caption for this picture in Shutterstock is, “Cute Young Mixed Race Boy Playing With Football Outside On Picnic Blanket.” No, really.

He does have some really cute elbow pads on his sleeves though.

Hand in the dirt already. Folks, we are looking at one of the earliest pictures of a young PFT Commenter. Even if he is wearing a basketball shirt. Blame his parents.

Don’t get sucked in, pal. There are so many wonderful things you can do with your weekends rather than spend countless dollars following around a team that doesn’t even cater to the fan experience at all. They don’t care about you. You are a number and a demographic to them. And when you’re sucking down your Oikos to offset all the bottles of the World’s Most Refreshing Beer you drank after you watched the game on your Vizio, you’re going to wonder where it all went wrong. It’s not too late for you. I still believe in you. This nation still believes in you.

Oh my goodness this is so freaking cute. I take back everything I said earlier. Football is wonderful and great, and every baby should grow up to be a football fan.

Nolan Nawrocki has already written a scathing scouting report on this quarterback where he cites the kid’s arm angle and the fact that he once skipped two-a-days to check on his mom who was in the hospital for blood clots as a reason that he’s not quite dedicated to the game enough.

Really not sure how this recent team photo of Eli Manning got in here. Sorry about that.

If this doesn’t get you amped up for the season, nothing will. I’m ready to throw some brats on the grill, get my satellite dish ready and drive four hours to sit in a parking lot for another 12 hours. Roll Tide.

Okay, yeah. Babies doing football stuff is adorable. The season’s almost here. Can’t wait.
