Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls landed on injured reserve after suffering a broken ankle in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens.
But he still found a way to connect with a young fan for Christmas.
It started with an Instagram post that showed an excited young Seahawks fan named Sophie receiving a Rawls jersey as a present.
Rawls reached out to the girl and her family and invited them to the Seahawks' practice facility.
The meeting provided Rawls with a lift and left Sophie in tears.
Nice job by the rookie, who appears to have a bright future with the Seahawks.
