Young Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan gets hurt, but leaves happy
Apparently, Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Matt Bryant wasn't the only one hurt by his final field goal attempt today.
The ball ended up hitting 7-year-old Bucs fan Kevin Jackson, who was walking by the stands behind the end zone. Jackson, at his first Bucs practice, got hit in the nose, and was taken to a first aid tent.
Jackson, wearing a Cadillac Williams jersey, stuck around for a little bit, and Bucs coach Raheem Morris - upon being alerted with what happened - brought him an official ball.
Morris asked Jackson if he cried (he admitted he did), but joked with him a little bit, and ended up making the second grader smile before he left.
