Jeremiah Moon spent his college football days playing for the Florida Gators. During his sophomore season, the linebacker gifted a young Gators football fan, Jacob Long, a pair of fame-worn cleats.

The football star and fan also took a photo together to capture the moment. "I guess I was feeling good," Moon said earlier this week as he recalled the exchange. "I was just feeling generous."

Six years later, Long made it clear he did not forget Moon's generous gesture. Moon went undrafted out of college, but ultimately signed with the Baltimore Ravens. The team cruised to its sixth straight win this past Sunday, and after the game, Moon was a part of an unexpected reunion. 

Long is now a lance corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps and serves as an aviation mechanic. He participated in the pregame flyover crew ahead of the Ravens New Year's Eve game against the Miami Dolphins.
