NFL Rookie Misses Meeting to Play in Snow

I think you'll agree with me when I say that there's nothing more adorable than a kid getting to play in the snow for the very first time...even when that kid is a 300-pound defensive lineman.

Baltimore Ravens rookie Timmy Jernigan recently showed up late to a team meeting, which is usually a big no-no in professional sports. More often than not, pulling something like that results in an apology and a fine, but head coach John Harbaugh had to cut Timmy a little slack when he found out why the player wasn't there.

22-year-old Timmy is a Florida native had never seen snow up close, and while his team was meeting inside, Jernigan lost track of the time as he played in the snow. It wasn't until after he built his very first snowman that he realized he was late and showed up at the meeting.

Luckily for him, Coach Harbaugh is an understanding guy. He said, "It's all good; he had a fun time. He had never seen snow before. It was just fun watching him enjoy it. He was like a little kid."
