Scott Thornhill

Scott Thornhill, the executive director of the American Council of the Blind, was diagnosed with a retina disease at eight years old and slowly lost his vision over time.

This is his first time at a Super Bowl.

Thornhill will be using a one-court device, which looks like a tabletop version of the field.

Fans hear the real-time play-by-play as they feel the ball move.

Thornhill played football through college and says it'll be an emotional, full-circle experience for the game to be fully accessible for him again.
