It really doesn't get better than this. NY Giants pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux has a bright future, and the former No. 5 overall pick hasn't forgotten for a second about the people who have helped him get to where he is today.
At the top of the list? Well, it's got to be momma Thibodeaux. The NY standout is incredibly close with his mom, which is why this is so special. Thibodeaux took to Twitter to share a video of him surprising his mother with a brand new home. His mom was understandably overcome with emotion. You will be too watching this clip:
It started with a dream, turned it into a goal.

Kayvon Thibodeaux surprising his mom with a house is incredible to see
Just awesome. In the video, Thibodeaux shared a little bit more about his story. When he was younger, he ended up living with a different family during parts of high school, and then he made the move to Eugene, Ore. to start his college career.
Because of this, Thibodeaux said there was a period of about five years where he and his family wouldn't be able to get together for the holidays. They simply didn't have a living room or dining room to get everyone together in. Of course this wasn't easy for him, especially as a young man. That's why Thibodeaux wanted to make sure that never had to happen again.
How did he do this? By putting the pen to paper on an amazing new home for his mother and the rest of his family to enjoy for years to come. Thibodeaux has become a fan favorite because of his strong play during the second half of his rookie season.
Now, though, people are appreciating his humble ways as well. This kid is even easier to root for. As for his mom, this is a life-changing moment for her that she'll never forget. She has her baby boy to thank for that.
