New Orleans Saints superfan Jarrius Robertson is now an official member of the team after signing a contract Tuesday on "Good Morning America."
The 14-year-old, who has a rare liver disease called biliary atresia that affects his physical growth, attends Saints practices and games regularly, even occasionally trash-talking their opponents.
Saints head coach Sean Payton invited Robertson to join the team in Kansas City this weekend and serve as their social media correspondent. His first order of business? Interviewing "Good Morning America" host Robin Roberts:
