Mostert returning Williams' Super Bowl jersey
Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams could've easily been MVP of Super Bowl LIV after racking up 133 total yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns in the 31-20 win.
While Williams might've lost out to Patrick Mahomes, he displayed award-worthy sportsmanship after the game, chasing down San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert and praising the fellow undrafted player for his postseason performance.
NFL Films captured the exchange, which included Williams asking to swap jerseys with Mostert - a surprising move considering it likely would be the most important memorabilia of the Chiefs running back's career.
“Don’t let this be the end of our journey.”

But on Wednesday, Mostert announced he would be returning the jersey to his former Miami Dolphins teammate.
Contemplated putting this on eBay 😂 but this belongs to YOU and yours! You did your thing. Hand this down for generations! PROUD OF YOU BRO! Much love. #undraftedRBs @TooLoose26 pic.twitter.com/RL4oIgtQhr

During a Monday appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Williams laughed about giving away his jersey and revealed he didn't consider its importance until his mother asked him where it was.
