Nearly two years after being diagnosed with pediatric brain cancer at age 5, Hoffman ran for a 69-yard touchdown in the Cornhuskers' spring game. His father Andy said he's "Cautiously optimistic" about Jack's prognosis, and that doctors will remove the port under Jack's skin that delivers his chemotherapy next week. "He associates getting rid of that chemo port with getting his life back, his little boy life back," Andy Hoffman told the World-Tribune. If that's somehow not enough good news for one day, there's also this: The Hoffmans expect their Team Jack Foundation will help raise over $1 million for pediatric cancer research by the end of the year.
