Saquon Barkley is universally regarded as one of the good guys in the NFL. Not only does he possess incredible talent, but he also is well respected for his involvement with the community and giving back to fans.

That was the case on Sunday, when the New York Giants running back made one young fan’s holiday extra special. After scoring a touchdown against the Washington Redskins, Barkley delivered the football to a Giants fan he found near the front row.

It was a really cool moment in an exciting game between the Giants and Redskins. Below are a few clips from the game and Barkley’s delivery to the fan:
