Football player who went viral for befriending boy with autism signs with NFL team

Travis Rudolph made headlines last August when he sat next to Bo Paske, a sixth-grader with autism who always ate lunch alone.

The Florida State University football player was visiting Paske’s school when he sat with him to eat his pizza, and melted hearts everywhere.

Go Giants!
