Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam made sure to make time for one of his biggest fans ahead of the Bills–Dolphins wild-card game on Sunday: 9-year-old Sophia Benintende.
Benintende is battling a form of cancer called sarcoma, and her favorite player is the rookie Elam. She’s met the cornerback before, but Sunday’s game was extra special.
In a video posted by the Bills, Elam hugged Benintende and then presented her with custom shoes decorated in Bills colors. Elam signed the shoes before giving them back to Benintende. The 9-year-old couldn’t wipe the smile off her face.
