Steelers Running Back Surprises Dad With a New Truck

If thereâs one thing 2020 needs, itâs good news. Whether itâs wholesale, life-improving developments, or simple gestures or sweet moments between a couple people. Anything thatâs not terrible becomes good amidst the backdrop of a tumultuous time. This is why Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner was celebrated for sharing the surprise he had in store for his dad.
Conner, a talented running back who has morphed into a fantasy football stud (at least when Pittsburgh has a healthy offense), decided to say thanks to his dad in a big, four-wheel kind of way. He surprised his dad with a brand new truck, and of course, made sure to film his reaction to the news.

Itâs a low-key start, as his dad is in a state of shock and disbelief. Itâs a really awesome moment though when you can see it really hit home, and his reaction ramps up with a celebration, a laugh, and a huge hug.
The video was well-received, as the touching gesture between an appreciative son and his dad quickly went viral, picking up north of six million views. It was even a hit with some of his colleagues, such as Ravens running back Mark Ingram.

A great dad moment, coming just days before we all presumably get a new truck from our kids on Fatherâs Day.
