Good morning. Welcome to Kid News. I'm Tori. It's Tuesday, October 26, 2021, and we begin

with a 15-year-old quarterback hoping to reach the NFL. The big difference is Jason Bracy

from Modesto, California is blind. He lost his side as a young child due to an illness,

but he grew up loving football with his father describing every detail of a game on TV.

When Jason was 13, he contacted all the local coaches in the area to give him a chance.

Obviously one coach did, though David Nichols was a little skeptical at first, but Jason

was determined. He memorizes every play and his father stands on the sideline speaking

to him through a walkie-talkie to narrate what's happening on the field. Jason has proven

he's a force to be reckoned with, leading his team to victory last month by scoring a

running touchdown. Along with his perseverance and talent, Jason credits his father, friends,

and team for helping his dream become a reality. Adding, I especially thank my coach for

giving me the chance to put on the pads and helmet and prove what I can do on the field.

Speaking of football, the group of NFL quarterbacks who have thrown 600 touchdowns has

exactly one member. In fact, Buccaneer QB Tom Brady now has 602 TD passes after a solid

performance Sunday against Chicago. For Brady, though, that accomplishment wasn't the only

highlight of his day, as the game ticked down he jogged over to the sideline to speak to

a young fan who had a sign which read, Tom Brady helped me beat brain cancer. The QB put

one of his hats on the young fan's head and shook his hand. Nine-year-old Noah Reeb

was overwhelmed and buried his head in his hands as the tears began to flow. Brady

said later at a press conference, it puts a lot in perspective with so many going through

really tough times, and he along with many other players just try to make a difference

anyway they can.
