MINNEAPOLIS – No one has ever told Obadiah Gamble not to dream big.

So when he came up with the idea to invite Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to his birthday party, 6-year-old Obadiah never looked back.

“I was making up songs in the bathroom, and I thought, ‘Hey – maybe I could invite Teddy to my birthday party,” Obadiah says, laughing.

The musically inclined first grader created a song to invite Bridgewater to his party, even having his own Twitter page to post the videos and tag the quarterback. Two months, three videos and one music video later, Bridgewater gave Obadiah the birthday present of a lifetime: although he can’t make Sunday’s party, Bridgewater surprised Obadiah with a private visit at his home Wednesday.
