For Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles, it was a "small gesture."

To those who run the Twitter account for the Sam Cali Invitational, it was "the best Christmas gift ever."

Bortles sent an autographed jersey along with a signed note to the family of Cali, who died in June 2016 just before beginning his sophomore year as a member of the Rutgers wrestling team. The note read:

Dear Capt.. and Mrs. Cali, and Michael:

It is with sorrow that I learned about the tragic death of your son and brother Sam.
