Thanks to wide receiver Brandin Cooks, the team custodian for the Los Angeles Rams and his son will be in Atlanta this weekend for Super Bowl LIII.

According to Mike Jones of USA Today, Cooks arranged for Alfonso Garcia and his son, Josh, to receive two tickets to Super Bowl 53 Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, as well as flight and hotel accommodations for the trip.

"Oh, man, Alfonso – the guy is special, man," Cooks said in the USA Today article. "I just felt like it would be special for him to see that he is a part of this success as well, and I wanted him to be able to be at the Super Bowl with his son to enjoy that."
