Football Player Puppet
When my eldest son was a toddler, he had imaginary friends. Instead of made up characters, they would be famous sports stars. His football puppet at that time would probably have been Drew Bledsoe (from the Patriots before the GOAT), Big Ben or Chris Fuamatu-Ma’afala (both from the Steelers).
