What happened: The Buffalo Bills hosted Leo, a young Make-A-Wish recipient who underwent a kidney transplant on April 7, 2021. His wish to meet quarterback Josh Allen, safety Damar Hamlin and the rest of the team came true, with the day capped by Leo running in for a celebratory touchdown. The visit was coordinated with Make-A-Wish Western New York.

Why it matters: The moment underscores the franchise's offseason community work and the bond between players and young fans in the Buffalo region. It carries added resonance given Damar Hamlin's own widely followed medical recovery, making his presence at a transplant survivor's wish day especially meaningful.

What to watch: The Bills continue their offseason program as they build toward the 2026 campaign, with community appearances by Allen, Hamlin and teammates expected to continue through the summer.
