TACOMA, Wash. -- Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls shared Christmas with a 9-year-old Tacoma girl this year, after a video of the girl opening a gift to find Rawls' jersey went viral.


A season-ending ankle injury sidelined Rawls earlier this month. He is recovering from surgery at home in Seattle.

On Christmas morning, he was battling emotional demons, trying to understand why his season had been lost in an instant.

"I said, 'Why? Why do I have to stay in this bed, with no energy, feeling down on myself?' " Rawls said, fighting back tears. "Because I have every reason to feel blessed."

LOVE to see a player get emotional like that! Sometimes crying can earn my respect. One wouldn't be like that unless they were touched by the response from the little girl. That's awesome.

Funny story though - when Any OTHER 20-something year old man tries to contact a 9 year old girl through instagram they are told to 'Just have a seat over there'.
