Steve Smith took autistic girl to high school prom

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith made a dream come true in Cinderella fashion for 18-year-old Aubrey Bridges.

After Bridges saw a video of Smith dancing and noted he’d make for a superb prom date, the legendary wideout cleared his schedule and took Bridges on his arm for one special night to remember.

Bridges, who has autism and a rare disorder called vein of Galen malformation, got quite the surprise when a proposal video from Smith popped up after the Dream On 3 foundation connected the dots.

WBTV expanded on the special night:

Smith, still recovering from an Achilles tear, gifted Bridges diamond earrings and a necklace and danced the night away with her before the event named her prom queen.

Kudos go to Smith and all involved for crafting one of the year’s top moments. This is the most important part of sports at the end of the day, folks.
