The 26-year-old football player referred to Law as a hero after he allegedly saved some kids from a burning building in a West Philly neighborhood.
While being interviewed, Law recounted the details during the fire and helping the children escape.
During the interview, Law said he was "catching kids" being tossed from the window, unlike the wide receiver during Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.
Some Twitter folks applauded Agholor's ability to take some constructive criticism.
This proves that no matter how spicy you think your comeback is, nothing beats being a good sport and taking it all in stride. This is how you rise above and inspire people. Much respect sir.

This is how a real man handles shade. No ego. No need to insult and one up. Just brush it off your shoulders and celebrate a hero. You Sir, are a star!

In addition to preparing to catch some throws, Agholor still needs help locating Law. Twitter, do ya thang.
Original: Even in the midst of a heroic moment, this man could not miss a chance to take shots at Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor.
When a fire ravaged a building in West Philadelphia, former firefighter and Eagles fan Hakim Law jumped in to help save dozens.
During an interview at the scene, Law explained to a reporter what happened while airing his grievance about his beloved team.
“I see a guy hanging out the window screaming that his kids was in there,” he told CBS 3 in Philadelphia.
“My man just started throwing babies out the window, and we was catching them, unlike Agholor and all his mishap,” Law added.
The sentiments must have been fresh after the Philadelphia NFL team suffered an at-home loss against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Many fans gave a side-eye to the Eagles wide receiver who, according to the New York Post, has made vital errors during the team’s past two games, putting them at 1-2 so far this season.
During Sunday’s game against the Lions, the Eagles dropped seven passes, two of which could have resulted in touchdowns.
Steve Lindsay of CBS 3 Philadelphia described Law’s take as “the most Philly soundbite” on Twitter.
The Eagles are currently ranked No.2 in the NFC East and are set to play the Green Bay Packers on Thursday in Wisconsin.
