Stickles did his best to pump up the crowd and was outstanding at doing so. Even Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes recognized Stickles for the awesome energy.

Shoutout to Kyle Stickles for bringing the energy!!!!!

That’s how to announce a pick.

Prior to heading to Kansas City, the Ghent, New York native made a stop at the Jets’ practice facility. The 13-year-old boy was diagnosed with bone cancer at age 11.
