Green Bay, October 8, 2025
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has touched hearts by inviting Blaze Mayes, a 23-year-old Texas teen with Down syndrome, to visit Lambeau Field, covering all travel costs. The gesture honors Mayes’ inspiring journey, fulfilling his dream to experience NFL football.
In 2018, Mayes, then a junior at Aledo High School, ran onto the field for the final play of the Texas 5A Division II state championship, earning thunderous applause from 40,000 fans. His coach dubbed him the team’s “heart and soul,” a legacy cemented by a statue at his school.
“When I heard Blaze’s story, I knew I had to do something,” Love said. “He showed the world that dreams can come true, no matter the challenges. I want him to know his dream matters. Green Bay will be his second home.” Love’s funding ensures Mayes and his family can attend a game.
HEARTWARMING: Blaze Mayes was born with Down Syndrome, and all he wanted was to suit up for his high school football team.

Fans on X cheered, with @PackersFaith tweeting, “Jordan Love’s heart is pure gold! Blaze is one of us!” Mayes may step onto Lambeau’s turf, meet the team, and feel the Packers Nation embrace.
Love’s invitation underscores football’s power to inspire. As Green Bay prepares for Week 6, Mayes’ visit will remind the team and fans that courage and dreams define the Green and Gold.
