The Jets held their annual Green and White scrimmage on Saturday night, where the offense and defense simulated a game in front of fans at MetLife stadium. The team took the opportunity to give one particular fan a lasting memory with the team.

New York let A.J., a child with cerebral palsy denoted as the SNY Play Ball kid, carry the ball for a touchdown on the goal line. When A.J. scored, the entire team circled him in the endzone to celebrate. A.J. spiked the ball and the team chanted his name, while A.J.’s mom entered the circle in tears thanks to the gesture.
