Jarrius Robertson didn't get to watch his New Orleans Saints win Sunday, but it was a special day for him nonetheless.
The 14-year-old, who has a rare liver disease called biliary atresia that affects his physical growth, joined the Saints in Kansas City after signing a contract with the team Tuesday to serve as their social media correspondent. He even got to ride on the team plane.
Robertson documented his adventures on Twitter:
Landed them boys safely in Kansas City
