What happens when you become history’s youngest male track and field Olympic gold medalist? Well, even seasoned professional football players give you props. That’s exactly what happened when 4x400m relay gold medalist Quincy Wilson visited a packed M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens posted a video that showed how the 16-year-old impressed both the Ravens stars and NFL fans.

The video clip featured stars such as Kyle Van Noy and alongside the audio of what the players discussed as Wilson stepped on the field with the gold medal around his neck. However, this wasn’t the audio you get to hear on TV, but what the players said among themselves. “He ain’t go no mustache, and he’s in the Olympics… that’s gangsta!” said a Raven member, off camera.

Meanwhile, Van Noy found it hard to believe that Quincy Wilson was yet to graduate from high school. “How old is Quincy? 16? I don’t know how you go to school after that. That’s crazy,” the 33-year-old pro footballer commented. However, the linebacker wasn’t the only one in awe of the Bullis School student who made history.

The off-camera voice who called the 400m specialist ‘gangsta’ also said how Wilson earned an Olympic gold medal before his driver’s license. “He’s barely driving. That’s wild,” joked the Raven player. However, there was a good reason the Baltimore players were so delighted to see Wilson. After all, the track and field star’s appearance punctuated their victory against the Buffalo Bills.

The Olympic gold medalist stepped on the field, and the Baltimore Ravens humbled the Buffalo Bills. You could even spot the scoreboard reading 14-3 in favor of the Ravens as Quincy Wilson waved his hands in a Ravens jersey and the gold medal around his neck. The Ravens ultimately ended the night with a dominant 35-10 on the scoreboard.

However, the pro athletes weren’t the only ones who were beyond impressed. “When professional athletes give you mad props… Gotta respect it,” a fan commented on the video. Others also joined in praising the prodigy.

Fans shared Van Noy’s reaction after watching Quincy Wilson on the field

“Van Noy not lying. How do you go back to school after accomplishing something like that? I know he washing the other school’s teams.” predicted one track and field fan. The fan had good reason to believe he would dominate on the track. It may take some time to adjust to the celebrity status Wilson has reached. However, the 1-year-old is the one to beat in his age group.

The youngster is the U-18 world record holder across 400 meters. Barely a week ahead of Paris 2024, Quincy Wilson clocked a 44:20-second 400-meter sprint, bettering his record, at the Holloway Classic. While Wilson admitted that “we would be in last place.” After the slow start at the 4×400-meter relay heats, the pressure of the historic moment got to him.

And that’s why many were confident about Wilson’s future. “I am so proud of @_quincy_wilson. He’s going to be a great track and field star,” commented one fan. To put things into perspective, the men of Team USA have competed in the Olympics for 128 years, yet no one achieved what Wilson did. So it’s safe to say Wilson will only improve with time.

Meanwhile, others continued the conversation about Wilson returning to high school. “I’m wearing the medal to class daily like it’s part of the school uniform,” joked one Instagram user, putting himself in the 16-year-old’s shoes. While that may not be possible, another netizen pointed out how Quincy Wilson has become the unofficial ambassador for Potomac, Maryland.

“He’s only 16. Bro put the city on his back more than his own backpack for school,” commented one fan. However, in that case, the Olympic gold medalist has represented not one but two cities. That’s because while the athlete moved to Maryland to attend high school, he’s from Chesapeake, Virginia. While fellow Olympic gold medalist Masai Russell and athletes such as Angel Reese also joined Wilson on the field, it was clear from everyone’s reactions that the 16-year-old was the center of attention.
