Just to see him play all through high school and then have a really good college career and then be drafted into the NFL, doesn’t happen to many people so we are very grateful and blessed because of that.
Whenever Mason is on TV, the old couple sit in a lounge chair and enjoy the game. However, they are worried about him getting hurt in the field. Carole, Jamie’s mother shared that she liked to watch the game with her husband. She further mentioned that they watched it with their friends when Mason got badly injured. So, they watch the matches alone whenever their grandson is on TV.
