Josh Dobbs has quickly won over the hearts of Minnesota Vikings fans and has been the talk of the NFL.
He has led this team to two consecutive wins, hoping to be an adequate replacement for Kirk Cousins.
Dobbs might be winning fans over with his on-field play, but he also seems to be doing so off the field as well.
Jordan Schultz recently shared a video of a young fan receiving a signed Vikings jersey from Dobbs.
Josh Dobbs is such an amazing person! He sent this young fan, who also has Alopecia, a signed #Vikings jersey.
These are the stories that need to be told: Professional athletes are doing great things in the community every day. Let’s celebrate this!
Big ups to Josh and his new… pic.twitter.com/xlbbi0GlpV

As Schultz pointed out, this fan has Alopecia, the same disease that Dobbs has.
He has been very public about having Alopecia, which has given hope and encouragement to others with this disease.
By sending this fan a jersey, Dobbs showed his solidarity with him.
If someone with this disease can thrive at the NFL level, it demonstrates to this fan and fans everywhere that they have representation at a national scale.
Dobbs has shown that he is more than just a talented player, but someone that people can look up to due to his character as well.
Being tasked with coming into an NFL team and trying to win over a locker room is difficult.
However, through a combination of strong play and an ability to connect with teammates and fans, Dobbs has accomplished that.
Fans will now tune into Sunday Night Football in Week 11, hoping to see Dobbs work more magic against the Denver Broncos.
Can he and the Vikings come away from this game with their sixth straight win?
