The 13-year-old boy who was bullied and beat up by a "wolf pack" of teenagers in Pennsylvania last month received a surprise visit from his favorite football player on live television.
Nadin Khoury was walking home from school on Jan. 11 when he was randomly accosted by seven teens who attacked him for 30 minutes. The incident was filmed by one of the assailants, which helped propel the sickening incident into the national spotlight.
On Thursday, a resilient Khoury appeared with his family on "The View" to discuss the incident and bullying in general. Near the end of the segment, he was surprised by Philadelphia Eagles players DeSean Jackson(notes), Todd Herremans and Jamaal Jackson(notes).
Jackson, the Eagles star receiver, is Khoury's favorite player. After coming out on set and hugging the middle school student, Jackson gave Khoury the jersey off his back (literally) and let him know that if he ever needed help, he and his two lineman had his back. Herremans later mentioned that the Eagles would give the family tickets to any Eagles game next season.

Complete douche on the field but just bumped him up a couple of notches in my book after watching that video.

I'm sure he's thrilled.

I think you're a Cowboys fan (iirc) and you hate him, rightfully so.
It's just really funny, because he does act like a jackass on the field, but he's a really, really solid guy off field. No trouble making... lots of charity etc. Pretty funny.

Everyone assumed Favre was an awesome guy for about 15 years because he was a "warrior" on the field and "played the game the right way"
