Dylan signed a one-day contract with the Browns. The youngster, who suffers from a rare neurodegenerative disease called ataxia telangiectasia, had told the Make-A-Wish Foundation that he’d always dreamed of playing with his favorite football team.

Dylan wore a Donte Whitner jersey for the event but Ray Farmer, Browns general manager unveiled a jersey with the No. 7 on it for Dylan, a number that was not used on the team. The team also had a locker ready for him, filled with team gear. Dylan’s locker was just right next to that of cornerback Joe Haden, who tweeted a photo of it.
