Newton grants wish, meets sick boy at hospital

Cam Newton spent part of his day off at an Atlanta Hospital granting a Christmas wish for a young Auburn fan with a severe heart condition.

10-year-old Austin Deckard, who was diagnosed with advanced pulmonary hypertension, received the visit of the Carolina Panthers quarterback just one day before to undergo a risky procedure.

The Auburn Tigers posted on Twitter the priceless reaction during the exchange.
