SEC greats Jamal Adams, Mark Ingram making recovery a little better for LSU, New Orleans superfan Jarrius Robertson
Louisiana sports superfan Jarrius Robertson had a liver transplant last month, and two of his favorite players are helping to make his recovery go a little better.
Former Alabama RB Mark Ingram, who currently plays for Jarrius’ favorite NFL team, the New Orleans Saints, visited with the 15-year old fan this past weekend.

It’s well-documented that Robertson is a huge Saints fan, but we’re guessing for Adams, he might find a way to pull for the Jets, too, this fall.
The New Orleans native has battled biliary artesia, a liver disease that slows his growth. He received a liver transplant in late April.
