New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon has a new pregame ritual of sorts.
Since the start of preseason, he's made it a point to get the crowd involved, tossing a football around with fans in the stands to get the juices flowing.
Judon likely has no idea what it means for those on the receiving end of his passes, though. Especially someone like Nolan Urick.
"He just was so excited and just had to tell me all about catching that pass from him," said Lisa Urick, his mother. That made his whole night."
Nolan is a 31-year-old autistic man from Belt, Montana who also happens to be a massive Patriots fan.
