Kelmer has spent decades working as a bus driver for the Mount Laurel school district in New Jersey. As a means of repaying him for all the kindness the 66-year-old driver has shown them over the years, dozens of parents and students alike pitched in to buy Super Bowl tickets for Kelmer and his wife. They also bought personalized jerseys and airfare.

The whole package cost about $5,000 – but it was worth it just to see Kelmer’s face when they surprised him at the last stop of his bus route on Monday.

Upon seeing the news cameras, parents, and kids all gathered outside of his bus, the Eagles fan couldn’t help but tear up over the astounding gesture of compassion.

“This a special dream come true,” Kelmer told CBS News. “I’m ecstatic. I am ecstatic!”

But that was only the beginning.

The amazing play would have been dramatic enough, but everything that followed was a wonderful series of events in which one man’s humility along with his excitement made for some unforgettable moments.

First, the play:

Finally, to top it off, when he was interviewed after the game, and asked how he felt, Keenum responded, “It’s probably the third best day of my life; the day I gave my life to Jesus Christ, the day I married my wife, and probably this one.”

Keenum’s story is a great one; prior to leading the Vikings to the NFC Championship game, which they haven’t won in 41 years, he played in college at Houston, where he set the NCAA record for total passing yards, touchdowns, and completions.

Then he hit the skids in the pros. Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Houston Texans, Keenum spent the entire 2012 regular season on the practice squad. In 2013, Keenum was placed on the Texans’ 53-man roster as a third string quarterback behind starter Matt Schaub and second-string quarterback T. J. Yates. He went 0–8 as a starter for the Texans in 2013. In August 2014, Keenum was waived by the Texans and claimed off waivers the next day by the St. Louis Rams, then waived by the Rams on October 28, 2014.

On December 15, 2014, Keenum was signed off the Rams practice squad back to the Houston Texans. In March 2015, Keenum was acquired by the Rams again from the Texans. He suffered a concussion in the 11^th game of the season but did not come out of the game; he then led the Rams to three consecutive victories. In 2016, after leading the team to three straight wins, he was eventually replaced by Jared Goff.

But then, after signing a one-year contract with the Vikings for 2017, Keenum replaced Sam Bradford at quarterback after Bradford was injured, and became the starting quarterback in Week 2. He led the Vikings to a 13-3 regular season record, then executed his heroics on Sunday.

In today’s college football landscape, it seems there are as many student-athletes making headlines for law violations than those scoring touchdowns. But there is one off-the-field story making the rounds that’s restoring the faith of sports fans.

While several members of Florida State University football team visited Montford Middle School in Tallahassee, Florida, they were encouraged to interact with students during lunch. That’s when junior wide receiver Travis Rudolph noticed a child eating by himself.

“I had got some pizza and I asked if I could sit next to him, and he said ‘Sure, why not?” Rudolph said in a video interview with the university.

“I just felt like we had a great conversation. He started off and was so open. He told me his name was Bo, and how much he loves Florida State, and he went from there.”

As it turns out, eating lunch alone is a common occurrence for Bo, who has autism. According to a Facebook post from Bo’s mother, Leah Paske, she asks her son everyday if he ate lunch alone and the answer is usually the same.

“Sometimes the answer is a classmate, but most days it’s nobody,” Paske wrote in the viral post which garnered more than 10,500 shares. “Those are the days I feel sad for him, but he doesn’t seem to mind. He is a super sweet child, who always has a smile and hug for everyone he meets.”

Rudolph admitted he wasn’t aware that Bo was autistic.

“To find that (out) it was just, you know, heartbreaking that he’s in that situation but I’m praying for him and I feel like he’s a great kid, overall,” Rudolph told FSU.  

In a separate interview with WCTV’s sports anchor Kenny Morales, Rudolph made it clear his friendship with Bo wasn’t a one-time thing.

“He’s a cool person, I’ll hang out with him any day. And for the mom, if he needs my (cell) number, he can get it,” the athlete said.

As for Leah, she never heard of Rudolph before his kind gesture, but she and her son are now fans for life.

“I’m not sure what exactly made this incredibly kind man share a lunch table with my son, but I’m happy to say that it will not soon be forgotten,” she wrote in her post.
