Bears rookie J.T. Thomas takes young lady to eighth-grade dance

In one sense, it kinda screams pedophile to me. But in a few other senses. Its nice of him to do this for this girl. And it kinda strikes me as one of those potential fairy tale romances o.0

J.T. Thomas(notes) was drafted in the sixth round by the Chicago Bears, but the lockout leaves him without much to do right now. The athletic, hard-hitting linebacker out of West Virginia University is still in Morgantown, keeping in shape and spending time with his family.



Every day, Thomas helps his 7-year-old brother Jared get home from school. Riding the same bus as Jared is an eighth-grade girl named Joslyn Levell, who happened to grow up in Chicago as a Bears fan and now lives in Morgantown. Joslyn has spina bifida and uses a wheelchair.



With assists from the bus driver and J.T.'s stepmother, Thomas got on the bus one day to say hello to Joslyn. They hit it off immediately. From NFL.com:

I think this is a very touching story and I admire J.T. for making Joslyn feel normal and happy. Hats off J.T.!
