WATCH: Carson Wentz, the Dutch Destroyer and a dream come true – SC Featured – ESPN Stories
Warning: you WILL cry while watching this incredibly touching story.
Earlier in the week, ESPN ran a feature about the reasons why Carson Wentz wears a “Dutch Destroyer” wristband at every game. Carson, who pretty much seems to be the greatest guy on the planet and could probably be elected mayor of Philadelphia tomorrow, chose to honor one of his biggest fans, Lukas Kusters, who died from leukemia in June.
