Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall shared a special moment with a young fan Thursday night after being carted off the field with a toe injury.

Hall was on his way to the locker room when he met 12-year-old Brian, who offered to say a pray for him, according to NFL analyst Shaun O’Hara. To show his appreciation, Hall tossed the boy his game jersey:

Special moment just happened in the tunnel @mlstadium Brian here, a 12 yr old @redskins fan just saw @dhall23skins in the hallway & said "Hey DeAngelo, I'll say a prayer for you." Hall said thanks kid, I needed that....and then threw him his game jersey. #TrueStory #powerofprayer #thatjusthappened #MeanJoeGreene #classy

O'Hara hash-tagged the above photo with #MeanJoeGreene, a nod to the classic commercial in which the former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle gives a bottle of Coca-Cola to a young fan:
