Two dreams came true Thursday night, when Sam Prince, a Make-A-Wish New Jersey recipient from North Caldwell, announced the Giants' pick of Kayvon Thibodeaux. They celebrated exuberantly together, dancing and screaming.
Thibodeaux, known for his own outsized personality, celebrated exuberantly with Prince, dancing and screaming before the pair joined NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for a photo op.
Prince, who was born with multiple congenital heart defects and received a life-saving transplant when he was just 8 years old, has become a passionate advocate for organ and tissue donation and hopes to be a sports broadcaster some day. He learned that his wish would come true earlier this week from New York Giants legend Eli Manning, General Manager Joe Schoen, and Head Coach Brian Daboll.
An ESPN crew was on-hand to capture the big surprise for a feature that will air as part of the ESPN"My Wish" series in July.
