Saints Super Fan Jarrius ‘JJ’ Robertson Receives Award At ESPYS [VIDEO]
The New Orleans Saints super fan, Jarrius "JJ" Robertson, received the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance last night at the ESPYS.
WWE Superstar John Cena told JJ's story of needing a liver transplant and how a recent transplant may have just saved his life.
As to be expected, JJ owned the stage. He thanked the New Orelans Saints, WWE, and the LSU Tigers for allowing him to live out his dreams. He also lobbied for a new contract from the Saints while on the mic.
His father, who has been an advocate for organ donors, encouraged all of us to become organ donors. As he said on stage last night, it takes a life to save a life.
Congratulations JJ, you deserve it. You have inspired so many of us.
Now, lets get ready for some football!!!
