After the Giants fell to the Dallas Cowboys in their season opener last week, a video of a young Big Blue fan went viral. The child, wearing a Giants jersey, tried to get the autograph of Cowboys defender Demarcus Lawrence following the game.
The Cowboys defender wasn't having it.
Lawrence told the kid to "get the right jersey" and blew him off.
Here's the video of the child-snub:

But since then, Saquon Barkley has come to the rescue.
The Giants' running back has invited 11-year-old Kamil Bautista, who resides in McAllen, Texas, with his family, to a Giants game at MetLife Stadium. Per TMZ Sports, Barkley is flying Bautista and his family to the Big Apple for the Nov. 10 Giants - Jets game. They will also get a "meet-and-greet experience and VIP treatment" from Barkley, along with tickets, according to the report, too.
Bautista was wearing Barkley's jersey during the Lawrence incident. Good on the Giants' rusher for going the extra mile.
