Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery let arguably the biggest pass of the team’s 2018 campaign slip through his fingers in Sunday’s Divisional Round loss to the Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome — leading to a game-sealing interception — but he still had support from a number of young children in the Philadelphia area, despite what other Eagles fans thought about him.
A second-grade class wrote letters of encouragement to Jeffery, such as this one shown below.
Dear @TheWorldof_AJ, our second grade daughter is a huge fan and wrote you a letter in school yesterday. @Eagles #FlyEaglesFly #Eagles 🦅🦅 pic.twitter.com/N3bx7xLlQl

Jeffery was clearly moved by their gesture — so much so that he paid a visit to the second-grade class in West Chester. Check out this awesome surprise.

A great gesture by Alshon, for sure.
