Stephon Gilmore, Jayson Tatum exchange jerseys and encouraging messages

Two of Boston’s most important pro sports figures.

Without the likes of Tom Brady and David Ortiz around, it’s hard to crown Boston athletes as the best in town.

But, Stephon Gilmore and Jayson Tatum are two players that have likely earned that title. Gilmore, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, is a Super Bowl champion who’s earned First-Team All-Pro honors and Pro Bowl nods in the last two seasons. He’s the most important player for the New England Patriots and he’s become a fan favorite.

Tatum, 22, is already has made the NBA All-Star team and he’s the future for the Boston Celtics. He just earned a well-deserved five-year $195 million deal and his future is only looking up.

Both of these elite figure swapped jerseys, along with writing some personal messages.
