For a lot of athletes, reaching the highest level of their sport is a dream come true, but many also want to give back to their families who helped support them on their journey to get there.
New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez was selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft and earned Rookie of the Month honors before missing the rest of the year with an injury.
Now, as he prepares for his second season in the league, he's giving back to his parents. A new Instagram video posted by Gonzalez shows him gifting his parents a new home.
Seeing his parents' happiness was incredible, as this was truly a life-changing moment for them.
Hopefully, Gonzalez can play a full season in 2024, and we'll have the opportunity to see just how good he can be on the field.
