Rookies surprising their loved ones with amazing gifts once they get to the NFL is nothing new, but that doesn't mean we ever get tired of seeing it. Tennessee Titans defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat is the latest first-year player to do something special for his loved one.
According to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com, Sweat purchased his mom her "dream house" in Houston, and she was surprised with the incredible gift on Friday.
"I just want to thank you a lot for all you have done for me," Sweat said to his mom in a video message. "I can't be more thankful for a mom like you. Everyone in the world already knows you're special to me. I just want to say: I love you, I love you, I love you. I want to thank you for everything you've done for me since I was a little kid with my other two brothers."
"Mom, I just want to say: I finally got the house you wanted," Sweat added. "Dreams do come true. I can't appreciate you more. And, I hope you love your new home."

Sweat has detailed in the past how much his mom sacrificed for him and his brothers growing up, which included working three jobs and sometimes going without eating so she could feed her boys.
"Without my mom, I wouldn't be here today," Sweat said. "I can't say in words how much I appreciate her."
The Titans drafted Sweat in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft and the hope is that he can be a starter in his first year. So far, he's been having a strong training camp as he looks to cement his role in Year 1.
