Baltimore Ravens receiver and former Pro Bowler with the Panthers—Steve Smith Sr.—will be taking an autistic teenage girl to her senior prom.

Aubrey Bridges, of Charlotte, North Carolina, suffers from a rare disorder called Vein of Galen Malformation, which affect the blood vessels in the brain, thus causing auditory processing delay and speech apraxia.

Hey Aubrey, Steve Smith here. I want to know if you would let me take you to the prom
