The family had been long-time fans of the safety dating as far back as his six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.
It was Soape’s mother, Holly, who contacted Harris to ask whether he would take Audrey to the dance. To her amazement, Harris said yes. Prior to the dance, Harris bought Audrey a dress, shoes and makeup.
Audrey said it was pretty special that Harris took the time out of his schedule for her:
“A normal player would probably be like ‘I don’t have time for this. I have to be focused for next season or the playoffs. But he took time out of his schedule to take me, so that was pretty special.”
Needless to say, you don't have to be an Eagles fan to cheer on Harris for making a young girl's father-daughter dance one she will never forget.
