Tom Brady is a champion on and off the field.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback surprised Noah Reeb, a 10-year-old boy from Utah who just beat brain cancer, with tickets to Super Bowl LVI. Reeb, who was diagnosed with brain cancer last February, previously attended a Bucs game in October where he carried a sign that said, "Tom Brady Helped Me Beat Brain Cancer." It caught Brady's attention, and he gave Reeb a hat, according to People.
In a video the NFL shared on social media, Brady shares how he surprised the 10-year-old with Super Bowl tickets. Reeb is seen with his family sitting on the couch watching Brady's message.
"Earlier you held up that sign that I helped you beat brain cancer. Well, listen, your fight — you've inspired so many people, including myself, but millions of others also. The NFL and the Bucs look forward to sending deserving fans to the Super Bowl each year and fans that have incredible stories like the one you've had. So as a thank you, I worked with both the Bucs and the NFL to get you and your family Super Bowl tickets this year in LA. We certainly hope to be there but I know you're going to be there. It's gonna be really cool for all of us. Glad to see you're doing well, take care, man. And enjoy the tickets. Let's go," Brady said.
Reeb replied, "Thank you so much," and signed off with a "Let's go Bucs!"

This isn't the first "meeting" between Brady and Reeb.
In March 2021, Brady sent Reeb a video where he wishes him well.
"I just want to let you know I'm thinking about you. I'm with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hang tough. You're going to be great, I know it. Get well soon and take care," he said.
Reeb and his family also appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show the following month where they discussed how much Brady's support meant to them.
