Miles Sanders was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles less than five weeks ago, and the former Woodland Hills High School and Penn State star running back signed his NFL entry-level contract less than three weeks ago.
Perhaps his first major purchase wasn’t for himself.
Sanders bought his mother a new car, as detailed in a post on his verified Instagram account.
“You deserve the world momma,” Sanders wrote. “(E)verything 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”
The post was accompanied by several photos of Mar Sanders in front of a maroon Lexus SUV with a large red bow on the roof (or, in one case, on her head).
I love you mama❤️ https://t.co/Iye0OxZgM3

Sanders signed a four-year, $5.35 million contract after he was taken No. 53 overall in the second round by the Eagles last month.
Sanders had 1,274 rushing yards and nine touchdowns as a junior last season for Penn State after he had backed up All-American Saquon Barkley his first two NFL seasons.
Sanders was a five-star recruit out of Woodland Hills, where he had 4,573 rushing yards and 59 touchdowns.
