San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin paid a touching tribute to his recently deceased son yesterday during his side's 31-21 win over the New York Giants.

Goodwin broke the news on Instagram that his son had passed away from complications during his wife's pregnancy. She had to prematurely deliver the baby at 4 a.m. on Sunday morning, hours before Goodwin took to the field to play the game.
