Seattle Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman -- the first fully legal deaf player in the NFL -- surprised two of his biggest fans, twin 9-year-old hearing-impaired girls, with tickets to Sunday's Super Bowl game.
Coleman appeared on Good Morning America Thursday to present the girls with the tickets.
The Seahawks player made headlines earlier this month for starring in a touching Duracell ad, which highlighted the obstacles he had to overcome to play in the NFL.
After seeing the ad, the twins penned letters to their football hero. Their dad, Jake Kovalcik, tweeted the letters at Coleman, who responded back with his own letter.

@JakeIsMobile Your girls are awesome! Read them my letter back when you can! Thank you for the support! Means a lot! pic.twitter.com/9x5tQQwNbk— Derrick Coleman Jr (@DC2forlife) January 22, 2014
"Even though we wear hearing aids, we can still accomplish our goals and dreams," Coleman wrote.
Doesn't matter who wins the big game, Coleman's already a winner to these girls.
