One of the most touching things to see is when a NFL player buys his mom a new house or car. Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard recently did the former for his mother.
Byard tweeted out a photo of the house with his mom standing in front of it with a big smile on her face. The Titans safety said being able to buy a house for his mother was “a pipe dream” at one point, but not anymore.
When you come from where I come from, stuff like this is a pipe dream that only a few are able to accomplish. I hate that we couldn’t be there but I’m more happy that everything worked itself out. I love you mom and enjoy your new forever home! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/ueFD1bs8XD

The five-year, $70.5 million contract extension Byard earned prior to the 2019 season helped make buying his mother a house a pipe dream no longer.
The gift is well-deserved for Byard’s mom, as she raised a man who is a fantastic human being, on top of being a great football player.
Byard has emerged as one of the best players at his position in the NFL since being drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
He has more interceptions than any defensive back since 2017 and was a Pro Bowler and First-Team All-Pro in his second season. Byard has also become a leader for the Titans and an important member of the Nashville community.
Byard will look to continue his elite play in 2020, while also stepping up as a leader even more than he already for the Titans during his career.
