New Orleans Saints superfan Jarrius Robertson will be honored with the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the 2017 ESPYs on Wednesday night in recognition of the obstacles he's overcome while battling a rare liver disease called biliary atresia.
Ahead of the awards show, several Saints players - including Drew Brees and Mark Ingram - and other sports personalities came together to congratulate the 15-year-old in a video shared by the Saints' Twitter account.
