Thomas Rawls reaches out to young fan after seeing Instagram video

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.
