Smith thrilled with fans in Hawaii

One of the biggest thrills for Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith was getting to spend some time with a young fan wearing his jersey from the Make A Wish Foundation after Friday’s 45-minute Team Rice Pro Bowl practice on Oahu’s north shore in Hawaii.

“It’s awesome,” said the fourth-year pro. “This is what this game is about, is coming out here and kind of giving back to the fans and having this many kids from the Make A Wish Foundation come out here and one of them is even wearing your jersey, it’s humbling and it’s great to be able to put a smile on their face.
