A 7-year-old’s touchdown went viral as he fought cancer. Six years later, he’s playing for real.

Even if you haven’t heard of Jack Hoffman, there’s a good chance you’ve watched him run.

 

Jack was 7 years old, 4-foot-3 and 75 pounds when he suited up for his home-state Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 2013 spring game. His stirring, player-assisted 69-yard “touchdown” that day became something of a phenomenon, helping raise awareness of pediatric brain cancer, with which he had been diagnosed two years prior.

 

It has been more than six years since what his family refers to as “the run.” Jack, now an eighth-grader, stands at 5-foot-8 these days. This month, he made his true debut on the gridiron, playing center for the West Holt Junior High football team in Atkinson, Neb.
