Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua presented a heartfelt gift to a significant individual in his life.

During Mother's Day 2024, the 22-year-old wide receiver gifted his mother a brand-new car, and tears welled up as he handed over the keys to what appears to be a Genesis GV80 SUV.

The emotional moment that the Rams filmed for their YouTube series "Behind The Grind" featured Nacua explaining the significance of the vehicle to his mother.

Nacua mentioned that the new SUV was his mother's first car since his father gifted her one just before he passed away from complications of diabetes in 2012.

Penina Nacua has been a constant presence at the Rams games, wholeheartedly supporting her son during his sensational debut season.
