The 49ers fell to the Chiefs 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV, but there wasn’t any animosity after the game between the teams’ running backs, Raheem Mostert and Damien Williams.
Williams left the post-game celebration on the field to track down Mostert in the tunnel for a jersey swap.
Mostert had 12 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown. Williams had a much bigger game with 104 yards and a touchdown on the ground to go along with four catches for 29 yards and a touchdown.
The two backs were both undrafted free agents that spent several years without a role on a team before landing with their current teams and carving out significant roles. They spent time together in 2015 with the Dolphins, although Mostert was cut in early October.
While the two players aren’t on the field at the same time, it’s cool seeing the mutual respect between them, and this is a classy move by Williams to leave the postgame celebration to find Mostert.
