CeeDee Lamb Invites Boy with Down Syndrome to AT&T Stadium – A Heartwarming Gesture That Moves Cowboys Fans to Tears
Dallas, October 8, 2025

Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys has touched the hearts of the entire football community by inviting Blaze Mayes, a 23-year-old boy with Down syndrome, to visit AT&T Stadium and personally covering all expenses for this special trip. Lamb’s act of kindness not only showcases his compassion but also spreads a spirit of love and sharing within the NFL community.
In 2018, Mayes, then a junior at Aledo High School, ran onto the field during the Texas 5A Division II state championship game, receiving thunderous applause from 40,000 fans. His coach called him the “heart and soul” of the team, a legacy solidified by a statue at his school.

“When I heard Blaze’s story, I knew I had to do something,” Lamb said. “He showed the world that dreams can come true, no matter the challenges. I want him to know that his dreams matter. The Cowboys will be his second home.” Lamb’s sponsorship ensures that Mayes and his family can attend a game.
During the visit, Mayes will get to enter the team’s locker room, meet Dak Prescott, and take photos with the entire team. As he steps onto the field, thousands of fans at AT&T Stadium will stand and applaud, creating an unforgettable moment.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) have called this the “most beautiful act of the season,” with the account @CowboysFaith writing: “CeeDee Lamb is not just a star on the field; he’s a star in our hearts.”
Lamb’s invitation underscores the inspirational power of football. As the Cowboys prepare for Week 6, Mayes’ visit will serve as a reminder to the team and fans that courage and dreams are what truly define the Cowboys.
