Broncos RB C.J. Anderson surprises grandmother with new car (Video)
Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson put part of his recently received playing-time bonus to good use.
Anderson, who broke out with 849 yards rushing last season, decided to surprise his grandmother with a brand new Honda CRV EX outside of her home in Vallejo, Calif.
Lucky for us, the moment was caught on film. Grandma was thrilled.
“I always told her that when I got to the NFL that I was going to buy her a new car and new house,” Anderson told the Denver Post. “She’s done so much for me. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for her.”
Anderson wasn’t selected in the 2013 draft but made the Broncos’ roster out of training camp as an undrafted free agent. He had only seven rushes for 38 yards as a rookie but took advantage of added playing time in 2014 with 849 yards and eight touchdowns.
Now that he’s carved out a spot in the league, Anderson is giving back to those who helped get him there.
