In 2016, the internet fell for Super Bowl referee Clete Blakeman [1]. This year, everyone had eyes for sign language interpreter Kriston Lee Pumphrey.
The handsome interpreter took the field during the national anthem, which was performed by Luke Bryan [2], and "America the Beautiful." While the country singer [3] certainly delivered a swoon-worthy performance, many people on Twitter couldn't help but comment on Kriston.
According to the National Association of the Deaf, Kriston currently works as a news anchor [4] at the Deaf Professional Arts Network. He also cofounded ColorFest, a conference for deaf and hard-of-hearing college students in the LGBTQ community, as well as allies.
Ahead, we've rounded up some of Twitter's more over-the-top reactions, as well as some pictures of the Super Bowl star. Enjoy.
