New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton thought Jarrius Robertson was a “rock star” before this week, but the 14-year-old Saints Super Fan became even more famous Saturday night.
Along with Payton and Harry Connick Jr., Robertson presented the NFL Comeback Player of the Year to Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson at the NFL Honors Ceremony at Wortham Theater Center.
Robertson is battling biliary atresia, a chronic disease in the liver that limits his growth. He’s had several surgeries already and is awaiting a liver transplant, but nobody would know it with the joy he constantly displays.
