Z-Man Ravens' Tee Kid tonight

The Z-Man will be the Tee Kid of the Ravens-Redskins game Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium. The Z-Man, of course, is Zach Morris, the 13-year-old Dundalk lad who, despite having cerebral palsy, just finished a season of youth football.

I wrote a column about Zach a couple of weeks ago.

The Ravens' Heather Blocher, the team's marketing and promotions coordinator, says Zach and three guests will be on the field during player warm-ups, get to stand behind the media line and "literally be an arms' length away from the players." They will stay down on the field during all the pregame festivities. After the game-starting kickoff, Zach gets to run out to midfield to retrieve the kicking tee and bring it back to the Ravens' sidelines.  He will also get some mug time on the Smartvision boards.
Props to the Ravens for recognizing this boy's accomplishment.
