Saints superfan Jarius Robertson to be honored at ESPYs
  • 7 years ago
Jarius Robertson, a 15-year-old New Orleans Saints superfan, is set to be honored with the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ESPY's this year. The Jimmy V Award is meant to be given to someone who has overcome nearly impossible obstacles and embodies the former coach's famous words "Don't give up. Don't ever give up!" Robertson, who suffers from biliary atresia, a liver disease that impacts physical growth, signed a "contract" last year to be the Saints's official hype man. "When I first heard the news I thought I was dreaming! The ESPYS? For real? The past two years have been a blessing in so many ways for me and my family."
