Young Eagles Fan Writes to Alshon Jeffery After Drop: 'You Are an Awesome Player No Matter What'

Second grader Abigail Johnson might have been as distraught as Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was on Sunday after Philadelphia's devastating divisional round loss to the Saints.

Jeffery dropped crucial a pass late in the game, which was intercepted by Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore. The turnover helped eliminate the reigning Super Bowl champions, and Jeffery—clearly distraught—lay facedown on the turf for a moment before heading to the sideline, where he watched the Saints' game-sealing drive.

After the sadness of Sunday's loss, Abigail penned a letter to her favorite receiver, sharing that she cried when Jeffery dropped the ball.
