Mics caught Justin Herbert and Grady Jarrett sharing a classy moment during Chargers-Falcons

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett proved how opposing players can still be classy in the heat of battle.

As their teams faced off in Atlanta on Sunday, Jarrett got a quarterback hit on Herbert after he attempted a pass. Rather than take him to the ground, Jarrett kept Herbert upright by holding onto him after the hit to prevent an injury.

Herbert expressed his gratitude to Jarrett after the moment, one that shows mutual respect in competition. Good on both of these guys for handling things the right way, even if one of their jobs is to hit the other.

Justin Herbert is as classy as they come.

Thanks Grady Jarrett for holding him up after the hit.
