My sign, accompanied by the yelling of my grandmother, caught the former Patriots linebacker's attention. With a good laugh, he asked to take a picture of the sign and tweeted it out to his 22.6k followers.

Most recently Matt Chatham, was seen wearing my t-shirt on the alumni duck boat, at the Super Bowl LI Champions Parade in Boston, MA.
