Most NFL players have had their minds on draft week, but Sen'derrick Marks' mind has been on prom week.

Marks made headlines this week when he asked cancer patient Khameyea Jennings to her school's prom this weekend. The Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle surprised the 18-year-old at Wolfson Children's Hospital. Watch her stunned reaction in the video above.

Despite her disbelief, Jennings didn't take long to think about the details: She wants him to wear white and gold (Jags' home colors) and wear his hair down. Done deal.

Marks just better be careful if he busts a move. He's still recovering after tearing the ACL in his right knee in the Jags' final game of the season.
