After NFL games, players and coaches typically meet at mid-field to exchange pleasantries and catch up with friends from other teams before heading to their respective locker rooms.
Sunday afternoon, after the Cowboys lost to the Cardinals 28-17, Arizona receiver Larry Fitzgerald did the usual greeting of players at mid-field, but, in a move that was more out of the ordinary, he went out of his way to find Jason Witten, who was already heading back toward the locker room.
From the outside looking in, the two NFL stars just exchanged handshakes and went their separate ways; but after Fitzgerald went to social media later that evening, it was certainly something more - respect.
@dallascowboys @JasonWitten Have the utmost respect for him. A true gentleman, HOF player and brand ambassador for our league.

Class act from Fitzgerald to another in Witten.
