The Buffalo Bills recently shared a story that focused on a brave young boy and a great gesture from rookie quarterback Josh Allen.
I try to watch all the content put out by the Buffalo Bills on social media.
It is a great way to learn more about the team and is just fun viewing in general. Then I viewed something yesterday that nearly had me weeping. In a good way.
The Bills recently shared this story on social media:
Never ever give up.

How Josh Allen and Cade formed a friendship that means more than most. #NEGU pic.twitter.com/uytgCjsbUa
If you haven’t watched it yet, please do. It is an amazing story showing a whole other side to Josh Allen and what he has already done in his short time in Buffalo.
The story features Allen’s friendship with Cade, a young boy who has dealt with some serious medical issues in his young life. Yet he has fought through it all and was invited by Allen to come to Buffalo and speak to the team, hangout at practice, attend a Sabres game and also a Bills game.
Cade’s parents talk about how inspirational their son is and it is impossible to not get a bit choked up when they talk about him.
We often see commercials about how NFL players are involved in the community. But rarely do we get in-depth looks at the personal connections between players and individuals outside of the game.
The Bills were smart to make a short video about Allen and Cade not just because it provides some good PR, but because it gives Cade a platform to inspire others.
So if you have made it this far and haven’t watched the video yet, I recommend you do. Just be warned, you may get a bit emotional. Once again, in a good way.
