A 9-year-old football fan had a dream encounter while traveling through an airport.
Nasir was strolling along the airport concourse in Detroit heading for his flight with his dad, Sulaiman Mausi. As a huge Detroit Lions fan, Nasir was wearing his colors proudly, with a Lions jersey bearing the number of his favorite player, Aidan Hutchinson.
Hutchinson, who plays defensive end, is a fan favorite and one of the league’s rising stars tipped by football experts at si.com as a future MVP.
However, as he made his way through the hustle and bustle of the airport with his mom Melissa, and sister Mia, Hutchinson was happy to go unnoticed in the crowd as just another anonymous traveler. Until that is, Nasir walked past wearing Aidan’s jersey
Though the young boy didn’t realize he’d just passed his idol, Aidan and his family recognized a die-hard young Lion, and the NFL star went into fan-friendly mode, deciding to make Nasir’s day.
