When professional athletes are at the top of their game, they are given massive contracts to sign with a particular team.
The amount of money that is given to athletes is unfathomable for most people across the globe, as they are often given tens of millions of dollars.
Some athletes let this money get to their heads, making vain purchases of several cars, lavish houses, or other extraordinary items.
This wasn’t the case for Los Angeles Chargers star, Derwin James.
James recently appeared on The Goat Farm Show, where he was asked about his favorite purchase from his NFL earnings to this point.
“Buying my mom a house,” James said without hesitation.

James could have easily spent his money on something for himself, and while he has certainly done that, he wanted to take care of his parents.
Parents make a lot of sacrifices for their children, especially those who grow up going to sports camps, often traveling all over the country.
It was James’ dream to make it to the NFL, and he wanted to make sure to pay his parents back, and then some.
James seemed excited, humbled, and honored that he was able to make this happen for his parents.
Getting a big check, a massive contract extension is what many NFL athletes are seeking, and when James got it, he knew how he was going to spend some of the money.
Hopefully, James can use this energy and excitement in the regular season, where the Los Angeles Chargers are counting on him to have a massive role on their defense.
