If you think something is nice, you might say, "That's cool." But if you think that thing is the best of its kind, then you might say, "It's the coldest."
That is the reason a Green Oaks High School (Shreveport, Louisiana) wide receiver went viral after an interview earlier this week. His name? Decoldest Crawford.
The sophomore wide receiver did an interview with KTAL to preview the upcoming season for his team, but once Twitter users saw his name flash across the screen that quickly became the topic of conversation. Multiple national media outlets wrote about Crawford's unique name or made a post about him on social media.
So where did the idea for his name come from?
"My mom came up with my name," Crawford told 247Sports. "She named me this because she knew I would be the best athlete out of everyone in the family."

Crawford, listed at 6-foot-1, caught 18 passes for 203 yards and three touchdowns last season, per MaxPreps. Green Oaks made the playoffs for the first time in two seasons. Crawford enters his sophomore campaign with reported offers from Southern University and Southern Miss, and the wideout is expected to be one of the team leaders this season.
"I expect it to be challenging because everything don't supposed to come easy," Crawford told KTAL. "So we have to work to win. I got faith in us to win the district championship."
