Braylon Hodgson, a 13-year-old Montclair native who was battling a rare cancer, got a lift from a visit to the Jets.
It is the kind of scene that plays out several times a year around professional teams, often enough that a cynical player might go through the motions. The Jets did not that day. They made Braylon feel like the most important person in the world, sending him home with an autographed Rodgers practice jersey and a ton of happy memories.just four snaps into the 2023 opener on a much-anticipated Monday night, an injury that had an end-of-the-world feeling to it for thousands of fans.
He came from a family that loved sports — his older sister, Aven, is a multi-sport athlete at Montclair High, while Ryder is a star golfer at Bergen Catholic — but he would be happy doing just about anything as long as it involved hanging with his friends. In other words, Braylon was a normal kid. The treatment at Stanford started in January and involved using CAR-T cells, or immune cells that are harvested and reprogrammed to fight a specific type of cancer. Braylon received 30 million of these CAR-T cells as part of his chemotherapy, the first child ever treated with such a high level.Braylon suffered two brain hemorrhages and was too weak for a second dose.
Hodgson was born into a Jets family, with his father having season tickets back in the team’s Shea Stadium days. He idolized stars from the 1980s such as Joe Klecko and Al Toon, but he also endured moments like Vinny Testaverde’s injury and Mark Sanchez’s infamous Butt Fumble.He wasn’t sure if he wanted to pass the fandom down to another generation, but it only took a few trips to MetLife Stadium before Braylon was also hooked.
Braylon Hogdson and his friends poss with Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers following a June practice at the team's Florham Park headquarters. “Not as an athlete — as a human,” Lazard said. “I was a kid once. I know people that I looked up to, whether they are in the pros or someone who is deemed in society as successful, their words and moments can go a long way.”Ryan Hodgson had heard stories about Aaron Rodgers that weren’t always flattering, so he wasn’t sure how long the four-time MVP would spend talking to his son.
