Here's proof that the NFL can bring a grown man to tears.
A young father wearing a Seattle Seahawks jacket had a random encounter with the girlfriend of Seahawks running back Robert Turbin. She asked to take a photo in his jacket, so he obliged, and asked if he could get something signed. The man's phone died before the two could reconnect, but Turbin's girlfriend still made good on her promise.
It takes a little while for the man to open the box with help from his toddler son, but the moment (2:35) he sees the gift, he crumbles to the floor with joy.
