Steelers running back James Conner awesomely surprised his mom with a new house.
Star Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has been in the giving mood of late, and his parents have to be smiling from ear to ear. In June, the Pittsburgh speedster surprised his dad with a brand new truck. His dad’s reaction was absolutely priceless.
So, how would Conner top that? Well, he didn’t forget about his mom. Over the weekend, Conner decided to step things up a notch and bought his mama a new house. As you might expect, her reaction was incredible to see.
Welcome HOME Ma! You’ve sacrificed so much and we can’t thank you enough! You’re the reason I go to work day in and day out, to finally give you a place you can call Home. I Love you❤️🏡💪🏽💯🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/c25KyOphAo

James Conner’s mom was overcome with emotion after he bought her a new house.
Her expression tells you everything you need to know. Conner’s mom was overcome with emotion as her baby boy showed her around the new home. As soon as she realized what was happening -which to her credit was almost instantly- the tears started flying. Can you blame her? No chance.
Conner has showcased over the years just how close he is with his family. His mom and dad have been by his side through the highs of being drafted by the Steelers and becoming their starter, to the lows from when he was battling cancer.
Conner was able to beat cancer, and now is one of the toughest running backs to bring down in the league. He knows none of that would be possible without his parents.
