It was a big day for new Broncos offensive lineman Garett Bolles and he celebrated with his 4-month-old son Kingston. After being selected by Denver Thursday in the NFL draft, the elder Bolles lifted his son up like Rafiki raised Simba in “The Lion King.”

And it didn’t stop there.

Young Kingston was the center of attention on the red carpet:

After Garett was drafted, Deion Sanders didn’t ask about the Broncos, he turned his attention to Kingston.

“This is my son Kingston, man. This is a blessing,” Garett told Sanders. “I couldn’t be here without him. He’s been the best thing to happen to me in the last four months. And this (the NFL draft) is the second best.”

The younger Bolles took the social media world by storm.

Garett seems like he enjoys “Lion King”-ing people.

And after all the festivities die down, they both may need a nap.
