LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The USC football team celebrated a little boy who they said is the definition of "fight on."



Taylor Hammond, 10, has been battling leukemia for four years.



Earlier this week, he was a special guest at the team's practice and was even outfitted with a custom jersey and hat.



Taylor played catch with quarterback Sam Darnold and even caught a pass and ran it to the end zone for a touchdown.



The players lifted him on their shoulders for the celebration.



Taylor was also given a football signed by the entire team.
