Not only did he show up and make it a wonderful night, but he also covered the costs for everything.

"He made sure she had the dress that she wanted and the shoes that she wanted. She got set up with hair and makeup - just, the whole works. She just felt like a princess all night."

Audrey was super nervous to meet her idol.

"At first it was kind of awkward because we weren't talking yet. But then he kind of came up and started talking to me - I think about like, football and how my day was going."

"For someone to show up and to teach her that people do show up for you, it's just been beyond a blessing. Just the power of God and how he makes these situations happen has just been unbelievable and remarkable."

Harris on the other hand said that he was just trying to be a good person and support someone that was in need.

"[I was] just trying to be a human.”

"Trying to take off the helmet, trying to take off the cape of what I do professionally and just show some sympathy for that family and try to show some support there."
