Jaguars' Sen'Derrick Marks takes 18-year-old cancer patient to prom image

Jaguars defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks may be 28 years old, but he just went to high school prom and it was for a fantastic reason.

On Wednesday, Marks surprised 18-year-old cancer patient Khameyea Jennings by bringing roses to her hospital room and asking her to prom. She of course obliged and gave Marks specific instructions for how he needed to dress if he wanted to accompany her on her special night.

Marks was up to the challenge. He showed up on Saturday wearing a white and gold suit, just like she asked. Forget the cliché limo, the football player whisked Jennings away in his smooth Lamborghini, ensuring it was a night she'd never forget.

Jennings looked like a regular princess in the luxurious car while wearing a white and gold gown with a tiara (a gift from Marks) perched on top her hair. The high school student was diagnosed with liver cancer on Mother's Day in 2013. 

All Jennings wanted was a night to be normal, but with Marks' extraordinary efforts, hopefully it was better than any "normal" night.
