'Tiny Titan' Madden NFL 15 glitch goes viral

We've heard of rookie hazing before, but maybe never something quite like this.

Former Iowa linebacker Christian Kirksey is on the "Madden NFL 15" video game roster as a member of the Tennessee Titans. (Accuracy check: He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the third round of the NFL draft, for what that's worth.)

But anyway, in case you didn't know -- he's supposed to stand 6-foot-2 and 235 pounds.

In the game? ... Well, pint-sized doesn't even begin to describe it.

Try 1 foot, 2 inches. Yep, 14 inches.

The glitch exploded on social media, with users posting their fair share of humorous plays and actions performed by Kirksey.

Check out one example below.

This little tackle isn't too bad, either.

For his part, Kirksey took the accidental slight in stride.

Poor Christian Kirksey. The former Iowa linebacker has been downsized by about 5 feet from his 6-foot-2 frame in the "Madden NFL 15" video game.
