Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was featured on SportsCenter Monday, but not for his athletic ability this time.
Chase granted the wish of six-year-old Brixton Woods through the Make-A-Wish Foundation by bringing him to Cincinnati to show him around the stadium and hit the griddy with his favorite player.
“This really touched me. Appreciate Brixton and his family,” Chase said on Twitter after it aired.
While in the hospital, Brixton’s parents decorated his room with Bengals furniture and memorabilia so he could feel more at home while he was going through treatment and watching Cincinnati play.
Brixton is in remission from leukemia and can now say he scored a 99-yard touchdown in Paycor Stadium on a pass thrown from Chase himself.
