Saints RB Mark Ingram Visits Superfan Jarrius After Surgery, Plays NBA 2K

Last month, New Orleans Saints fan Jarrius Robertson underwent surgery for a liver transplant, according to ESPN.com's Mike Triplett.

The 15-year-old, who also stole the show at the NBA's All-Star Weekend, has biliary atresia, which has stunted his growth.

On Saturday, Saints running back Mark Ingram offered encouragement after visiting the notorious trash-talker:

“Never had a brother but I met my lil bro last year pregame! We was turnt!” the 27-year-old wrote. “His energy and perseverance is an inspiration! Love you brother I pray for you and the Lord is covering you! God bless @jarriusrobertson! P.S. I smacked lil bro in FIFA and in 2k!!”

Jarrius really appreciated the visit:

Other faces of the Saints, such as quarterback Drew Brees and head coach Sean Payton, chimed in last month:
