Blind And Deaf Montco HS Football Player Goes On 'Ellen' Show, Gets Surprise Of Lifetime

A blind and deaf high school football player from Pottstown received the surprise of a lifetime on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Monday.

Marvin Pearson, who plays quarterback and running back for Pottstown High School, was a strong advocate for individuals with disabilities during his interview.

"It's time to prove to people in the stands, to the world, to everyone, that people with disabilities can do anything you can do," Pearson said.

Pearson's favorite NFL player and role model is Drew Brees, whom he praises for overcoming his shorter stature to become one of the best quarterbacks in the game. Ellen presented Pearson with two VIP all-access passes to a New Orleans Saints game, where Pearson will have the opportunity to meet Brees.

But that wasn't all.

Pearson said he is considering either Temple University or Kutztown University for college. Ellen then presented him with a $10,000 check from Shutterfly to go toward his school expenses.

"You are the most inspirational person in the world," Pearson told Ellen.
