Blind fan, 13, to make Ravens' pick in Braille

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Mo Gaba, a blind 13-year-old fan of the Baltimore Ravens who is battling cancer, will make draft history this week.

Gaba will become the first person ever to announce an NFL draft pick off a card written in Braille. He'll call out the Ravens' fourth-round pick (No. 123 overall) from the Ravens' Draft Fest on Saturday.

Gaba, who lost his sight at 9 months old, received the news while he was calling a local radio show and coach John Harbaugh surprised him by dialing in on the other line.

Harbaugh shocked Gaba with the invitation to announce the pick.
