Arrr! 'Tis a tale of kindness from Ravens' matey Jeremiah Moon, six years gone after a jolly game of Florida Gators. The fan, much obliged, now returns the favor. Methinks this be a tale worth sharin', mateys!
In a heartwarming story, former Florida Gators football player Jeremiah Moon was reunited with a young fan, Jacob Long, whom he had gifted a pair of fame-worn cleats during his sophomore season. Moon, now signed with the Baltimore Ravens, had gone undrafted out of college but found success with his new team. Long, who is now a lance corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, participated in the pregame flyover crew at the Ravens' recent game against the Miami Dolphins. After the Ravens' victory, Long was able to spend some time with Moon, and the linebacker signed the same pair of cleats that he had given Long six years ago. Moon shared the story on social media along with pictures of their previous interaction and the recent reunion. Long's mother had reached out to the Ravens to share the story and had sent the cleats to the team. Moon described the moment as "full-circle" and expressed his admiration for how much Long had grown since their first meeting. Moon had faced injuries throughout his college career but had returned for one more year at Florida before joining the Ravens. Now, as the top seed in the AFC, the Ravens will enter the NFL playoffs.
