Monday was a good day for Travis Hunter.
Not only did the Jacksonville Jaguars rookie play a part in the team's 31-28 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with a ridiculous 44-yard catch in the third quarter, he reunited postgame with a woman who he bonded with during a flight earlier this year.

Back in May, a courteous young man helped Sandy Combs put her bag in the overhead compartment before takeoff, which stuck out to Combs as she recalled in a Facebook post.
"He offered to put my bag in the overhead compartment and helped me with my tray," Combs wrote. "He was always polite, saying 'yes ma'am' or 'no ma'am. Anyone would be proud to have him as a son or grandson — so polite."
As the other passengers began boarding, many walked by and were congratulating her seat mate. That piqued Combs' interest in who she was sitting with. As she asked the young man who he was, she noticed the Jaguars pants he was wearing. That's when he revealed that he was Travis Hunter and had just been drafted by the team.
Combs asked for a selfie and sent the photo to one of her sons and got an immediate reply.

"Charles immediately answered," Combs told "Good Morning Football" in May. "He never immediately answers when I call him. Never. He said, 'Mama, how did you sit next to Travis Hunter?' I said, 'I'm in first class.'"
Combs, wearing a Hunter jersey, was in Jacksonville on Monday night to watch the Jaguars improve to 4-1. She also saw her one-time seat mate make three catches for 64 yards and play 64 snaps on both offense and defense.
