One young Commanders fan asked running back Antonio Gibson for his jersey after a recent game. And he came prepared with an offer Gibson couldn’t refuse.

The Washington fan gave Gibson his Little League baseball card in exchange for the No. 24 jersey off his back.

“You got me a picture? I got you,” Gibson said.

“Thank you, Gibson!” the youngster said repeatedly.

What a moment.

Gibson and the Commanders are in a slump, losing five of their last six games, but moments like this with a young, passionate fan are what it’s all about.
