The Houston Texans wrapped up the end of a two-day joint practice session with the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday. Before their training camp started, though, head coach Bill O'Brien joined the Packers' tradition of riding bicycles into camps with young fans. He shared a touching moment with one named Raymond.

O'Brien didn't stop with just talking shop with Raymond. In continuation of the Packers' tradition, the Texans' coach hopped onto a bicycle attached to Raymond's wheelchair and rode with the young fan to the gridiron.

For both Raymond and O'Brien, their shared experience is a memorable one. Raymond got to a share a moment that so few get to do, for O'Brien, it was an experience that reminds him of home. O'Brien's son Jack suffers from lissencephaly, which translates directly to smooth brain. As a fetus, Jack's grooves in his brain never fulled developed; permanent damage that often leaves the child with a short life expectancy — rarely over double digits.

Jack is now 17 years old. He needs care around the clock, and suffers from daily seizures, eyesight issues, and cognitive issues. O'Brien and his wife, Colleen, work continuously to ensure Jack is in good health.

For O'Brien, meeting Raymond was a special moment, for the viewers, it was equally as special and a reminder that sports are cool, even when their figures don't do something on a playing field.
