As Philadelphia navigates through a hard time after the devastating medical jet crash in the northeastern part of the city, the Philadelphia Eagles WR AJ Brown has his mind on the city and the little boy who’s now a local hero. The wideout has left a heartfelt message for the boy including a promise to visit him after the Super Bowl.
Trey Howard, a 10-year-old Eagles fan, experienced a terrifying ordeal last week when a jet crashed in Northeast Philadelphia, claiming seven lives and injuring 24 others. The crash occurred near Trey, and he sustained injuries from flying metal debris caused by the impact.
According to his father, Andre Howard Jr., Trey heroically shielded his younger sibling by jumping on top of her to protect her from the debris as the jet went down near their family’s vehicle. The boy suffered head injuries from the metal fragments, requiring emergency surgery at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, as reported by ABC7 Eyewitness News.
The ten-year-old Trey woke up to perplexion over the day and whether he had missed the Super Bowl or not.
He asked me, ‘Daddy, what’s today?’ I was like, ‘Monday.’ ‘OK, wait. We didn’t play yesterday did we?’ ‘No, you didn’t miss the Super Bowl.’
Andre Howard Jr. disclosed
Trey also remained concerned about his sister, asking his dad, “Daddy, did I save my sister?” Andre admitted that made him emotional.
In an X post, the Eagles WR AJ Brown wished the young here a speedy recovery. He also expressed that he’s gearing up on Sunday for him and wishes to visit him with the Super Bowl championship.
Speedy recovery! You are a Hero young man! I’m going to come see you when I get back. Hopefully with some hardware. Playing for you on Sunday my man.
