PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Eagles running back Miles Sanders has been in the NFL just over one month, but the Penn State product is already taking care of his family. The rookie bought his mom a brand new car.

Sanders posted a picture of his mom with her new car on his Instagram and said, "You deserve the world Momma."

"You deserve the world momma, everything you've done and taught me help me be the man I am today, my gift to you ❤️ I dreamed to do something like this, I Love You," Sanders wrote in the Instagram post.

The Eagles drafted Sanders with the 53rd overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft out of Penn State.
