KALAMAZOO, MI – Tennessee Titans receiver Corey Davis doesn’t own real estate in the North Pole; he doesn’t ride around in a sleigh; and he doesn’t sport a white, bushy beard.
But he did make one West Michigan family’s Christmas season unforgettable.
Upon seeing a video of Travis Van, a 26-year-old Kalamazoo man with Down syndrome, overcome with joy after receiving a Western Michigan jersey with Davis’ name and No. 84 on it, the rookie wideout invited the family to Tennessee so he could meet his No. 1 fan.
“My son Hunter thought Travis would be really excited, so he told me to wait to give him that gift last so he could record it,” said Travis’ mother, Julie Van.
