After a 12-year-old from Yukon, Oklahoma, hand-wrote letters to executives of 32 NFL teams, he was shocked and delighted to receive a personal response from the owner of the Carolina Panthers, who have undoubtedly made a fan for life.

When Heather Pope's son Cade was home-sick from school the week before Christmas, he was "kind of bored" and "needed something to take up his time," so he asked his parents if he could write to every professional football team. On December 26, Cade sent 16 letters to the NFC teams.

On January 5, Cade sent 16 letters to the AFC teams. A letter to Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was in the first batch.

Cade wrote, "My family and I love football. We play football and watch NFL games every weekend. My parents are St. Louis Ram's fans. My brother is a Kansa's City Chiefs' fan. I don't have a team to cheer for yet. I am ready to pick an NFL team to cheer on for a lifetime!"

His mother Pope said, "With Christmas and different activities it took him about three weeks to hand-write all of those letters." "He didn't really have one team that he wanted to hear from," she said. "He just wanted to see what kind of response he'd get. "Last Thursday, His mother received a box from the Panthers. Cade was still at school, but she texted him a photo. "I asked him to guess which team it was and gave him a hint that they were in the playoffs. The Panthers was his first guess."

When Cade came home he opened the package to find a handwritten note from Richardson.

The team owner wrote, "We would be honored if our Carolina Panthers became your team. We would make you proud by the classy way we would represent you."
