Former Los Angeles Rams running back Steven Jackson shared a special moment with current Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams on Thursday.

Williams was the Rams’ team nominee for the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Jackson, who was a nominee during his time with the then-St. Louis Rams, appeared at a team meeting to present the award to the St. Louis native, who grew up watching Jackson play. Jackson also presented him with a pair of gold cleats, an emotional moment for Williams.
