Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett shared a heartwarming moment with Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Roger Rosengarten during their Week 18 finale. After a Ravens play, Rosengarten asked Garrett to swap his jersey when the game was finished, a tradition that has become popular among players in recent years.
Garrett, who is a star player and a top contender for the Defensive Player of the Year award, responded kindly to Rosengarten’s request. “Hey, you’re in the league, y’all winning games, y’all looking great, you ain’t never a nobody,” Garrett told Rosengarten. “I got you.”
Rosengarten, who is a rookie and has started in 14 of the 17 games he has appeared in this season, was touched by Garrett’s gesture. “It was just me and him walking after Derrick’s big run for a touchdown. I was like, ‘He’s right next to me. Why not? No one else is around.’ Actually, the whole world saw it,” he said.
The two players, who are on opposite sides of the popularity spectrum, showed that even though they are rivals on the field, they can still show respect and kindness to each other off the field.
