Feel Good Friday: 9 year old signs to Cleveland Browns...no, but really

 

 

The NFL has done a lot of amazing things in the past—but this one takes the cake for awww-worthy.

When 9 year old Dylan Sutcliffe, a little boy with a disease that attacks the neurons in his body, told the Make-A-Wish Foundation that he dreamed of one day playing for the Cleveland Browns, Make-A-Wish and the Browns teamed up to create the most memorable day of his life.

On Wednesday, the Huffington Post announced that the Browns offered Dylan an amazing one day contract filled with official press releases, private coaching sessions, an offseason practice with the team, and even his very own locker complete with his name and jersey number.

Not only is Dylan the youngest Browns player on the roster ever, but he's the perfect fit for the team.

In a press release on Tuesday, the Cleveland Browns general manager, Ray Farmer, stated, “We’re excited to add another quality player to our roster as we prepare for the 2015 season.  When we first connected with Dylan, it was clear he was a competitor who had all of the right attributes to be a contributor to our team.”

Farmer wasn’t the only one with positive remarks about Dylan.

Dylan’s favorite player, Phil Taylor, shared his excitement over having Dylan as the newest member of the roster and said “It’s huge for our team to have Dylan with us now".

It was huge for Dylan, too. When asked about how he felt about being a part of the Browns, Dylan replied that it’s A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

Kudos to The Make-A-Wish Foundation and The Cleveland Browns for making a little boy’s dreams come true!
