Delaney first came in contact with the Eagles during their annual Ronald McDonald House camp in upstate Pennsylvania. Diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia known as Burkitt's lymphoma in February, Delaney had been in and out of The Children's Hospital in Philadelphia for treatments in the months before the camp.
"I was not feeling well at the time,'' Delaney said on "TODAY" on Friday. "I realized I wouldn't be able to feel normal for a long time."
Delaney took the field at the Ronald McDonald camp with his friends while wearing the jersey of his favorite player, Eagles running back LeSean McCoy. The team was greeted with a huge surprise, when McCoy and quarterback Nick Foles, showed up.
"Best day ever — unexpected and awesome,'' Delaney said. "I'm definitely gonna remember this for the rest of my life."
"It was great to see Colin out there,'' [camp counselor Andre] Sabelette said. "He went all out."
Colin will be on the bench for Sunday night's 3 point win over the NY Giants. Follow us on Twitter for exclusive stories, Subscribe by Email, or Return Home
