Way to go, Josh! I’m also pleasantly surprised that they made a Dobbs jersey - referencing that video when he couldn’t find one available at the Cardinals’ pro shop.
This is really a great thing and a life-long memory and impact on this youngster. When I was 10 years old I met Dale Murphy (he was an all-star outfielder for the Atlanta Braves). He was standing around for 10 minutes waiting for the team bus and took much of that time talking to me and creating a memory I would never forget. It was so amazing meeting someone I always watched on TV and was a professional baseball player. These NFL players have the opportunity to really make a difference with children.
That’s cool as hell. What did y’all talk about?
I was sort of star struck. He is really, really tall and I think I just kept looking at him while my mom talked to him mostly. But, even at that age I could just feel he was a really good human being. If you look at his history he was always a good player and a good man in his community.
I’m 35 years old now but I was diagnosed with alopecia when I was 8 or 9. I was a lot bigger than most other kids at the time so I didn’t get bullied too often. But growing up was a lonely journey because alopecia wasn’t widely known back then. People thought I had cancer or something that was contagious and I lost friends over that.
I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of Dobbs as a role model for kids with alopecia. He’s so insanely gifted on the field and a force of positivity off the field. What a great guy! I hope any of our youth struggling with alopecia sees him and realizes there are no limits to what they can achieve.

FFS, you gotta be kidding me.
Dobbs is awesome
Damnit Dobbs, I’m trying to hate the Vikings. Stop being such a great guy!
Dobbs is my boy

How Minnesota is it that they somehow found an even nicer guy than Cousins to replace him.
He did something like this with a Cardinals cheerleader with alopecia too. Just a great guy and ambassador for the league.

Josh Dobbs is the NFL hero the world needs right now
Josh has a condition?
Man, what a difference it has to make for this kid to have someone he looks up to that he can also relate to. He’s going to be the most popular kid in school this week.
Jada Pinkett-Smith be like 👀
Haha, exactly what I was thinking.
If I remember right a Dr went over her condition and just ruled it as regular hairloss with a brow lift scar.
Starved for attention that one.
