This NFL fan hadn’t flagged the athlete down to give him a present. Pikachu was just a bargaining chip so that the boy could ask for something from the player! Luckily, Williams was willing to play ball. He really wanted the stuffed toy!
“What do you want?” he asked the boy seriously.
He offered a couple of different options, but the NFL fan had his heart set on the player’s glove. So, Williams promised to make the exchange later. For the moment, he returned Pikachu to his owner, knowing he’d be back for him later. What an adorable negotiation!
According to the comments section on this sweet video, this isn’t the first time an NFL fan has made this type of deal with Jamaal Williams.
“When I was at the Lions training camp I traded him a Gaara action figure for his practice worn gloves,” one user wrote. “He signed them and made me sign the Gaara action figure.”
Another person added that this football player often asks NFL fans for their autographs!
“He has all the fans sign the items,” they said. “It’s so cool.”
A third user wrote that, on the day the video was taken, “He stayed out a long time after and gave so many signatures and more. The kids were very happy!”
Jamaal Williams seems to have a really sweet relationship with sports fans! It’s so wonderful to see a professional athlete going out of his way to make others feel special.
