AT mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, Kansas City Chiefs stars were met by a true hero.

Make-A-Wish youngster Jackson celebrated being given the all-clear from cancer after seven rounds of therapy by meeting Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and many others at the Chiefs training facility.

In a truly heartwarming video shared by the Chiefs, Jackson could be seen awaiting the back-to-back Super Bowl champs in a black Kelce jersey, Kansas City baseball cap, and a Chiefs pendant necklace.

Mahomes was the first over, shaking the youngster’s hand as he asked, “How you doing man?”

Kelce joined shortly after saying, “What’s up dudes and dudettes?” before adding, “Thanks there brother” as Mahomes handed him a sharpie.

“Give me some love man, Whats up? You’ve got the 87 on too!” he said, high-fiving Jackson and the two kids, Liliana and Weston, beside him.

Liliana happened to be wearing a Chiefs red t-shirt with “Go Taylor’s Boyfriend” along with No. 87 on the front – in reference to pop sensation Swift who went public with Kelce in September 2023.

Both Kelce and Mahomes posed for photos, signed the kids’ merchandise, while the tight end also gave them his gloves.

The kids also had the opportunity to meet running backs Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and defensive tackle Chris Jones.

Pacheco even let Weston try on his helmet.

Head coach Andy Reid also came over to say hello, putting two baseball caps facing opposite directions on Weston’s head, saying, “Then they don’t know if you’re coming or going.”

Fans quickly flooded the comments section on X, formerly known as Twitter, with praise.

“I could not pick a favorite part of this video if I tried,” one fan commented.

“Everyone treated them with such warmth and kindness. The world needs more of this.”

A second called them, “Ambassadors of Goodness.”

As a third replied, “Congrats to Jackson and thank you Chiefs!”

While another added, “This melted my freakin heart!!!!! Those kids are precious!! I loved that that girl wore her ‘Go Taylor’s Boyfriend’ shirt.”
