It remains to be seen whether Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will make Super Bowl 56. Even if they fall short, there will be a special guest in attendance at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles: 10-year-old cancer survivor Noah Reeb.
Brady issued a video message to Reeb — whom he had met during Week 7 of the regular season — announcing he and his family would attend the game.
“You’ve inspired so many people, including myself but millions of others also,” Brady said in the video, “and the NFL and the Bucs look forward to sending deserving fans to the Super Bowl each year and fans that have incredible stories like the one you have.
“As a thank-you, I worked with both the Bucs and the NFL to get you and your family Super Bowl tickets this year in L.A. We certainly hope to be there, but I know you’re going to be there.”
After the message, Noah received a package containing Super Bowl tickets.
You might remember Brady first met Noah following a 38-3 win for Tampa Bay over the Bears when the QB made his way to the stands where Noah and his family sat to give him a hat.
