Blind, deaf football player learns on 'Ellen' he's going to meet Drew Brees

Marvin Pearson has been completely blind and deaf since the fourth grade, but he never let those disabilities stop him from doing what he loves.

The Pottstown, Pa., teen, who wears a cochlear implant to help him hear, recently scored his first touchdown for his high school's varsity football team, and appeared on "The Ellen Show" to share his inspirational story.

Little did Pearson know, host Ellen DeGeneres had a big surprise for him: an opportunity to meet his favorite NFL player, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.
