Mecole told his mom, Danyell Hardman, 45, he was taking her to brunch and then bowling, but after their meal, he actually took her to the Georgia home he had just bought for her, his father and his five-year-old little sister.

The 21-year-old NFL rookie shared the moment he revealed his generosity in a video posted on Twitter on July 18, writing: ‘I been dreaming of buying my mama a house since I was 8 and now to finally do it words can’t explain how happy i am [praying hands emoji] I love you ma x1000000000 [red heart emoji] It’s my turn to take care of you now [praying hands emoji].’

Mecole didn’t leave dad out, either, taking care of Mecole Hardman Sr., 46, with a brand new tricked out Dodge Challenger in the garage.

‘I’m just blessed,’ Danyell said in the video, while standing beside her son on the steps of the new family home.

Mecole, who will now don number 17 for the Chiefs, was ecstatic at his mother’s reaction to the purchase of the red brick home with white two columns framing each side of the front porch.

‘Whenever I get a chance, I’m going to bless my parents,’ he said.

Mecole played football at the University of Georgia before turning pro ahead of the 2019 NFL season.

The Chiefs selected Mecole in the second round of this year’s NFL draft with the 56th overall pick. He has since signed a four-year deal worth roughly $5 million, although just $2.3 million of that is guaranteed.

He knew right away he wanted to use his newfound riches to give his family the kind of stability he had dreamed of providing since he was eight years old.

‘It was a long time coming,’ Mecole told Today Home. ‘We never really had a definite home.’

Mecole said that was because his family moved around a lot when he was growing up, preventing them from putting down roots in one particular place.

To pull off the surprise, Mecole said he tricked his mom into thinking he was going to fix up the home she and his father and sister were already living in.

Then, he asked his dad what house she had her heart set on, and he went and paid for it.

‘I wanted something bigger and better for them, better for my little sister,’ he said. ‘I wanted her to grow up in great house and great neighborhood.’

Mecole told his mom he was taking her to a group bowling outing after brunch, and said she fought him getting into the van.

Then they pulled up to the house, complete with a second story, basement and swimming pool in the backyard.

Danyell stepped out of the van with a blindfold covering her eyes and took it off to take in the sight of her new abode.

She immediately covered her face with her hands and burst into tears as Mecole handed over the keys.

‘She was shocked,’ Mecole said. ‘It was fun. She loved it.’

Friends and loved ones were already there with red and white balloons to show their support of the Hardman family and celebrate the occasion.

‘Let ’em flow, let ’em flow,’ one woman said, referring to Danyell’s tears of joy. ‘This is worth crying about, trust me. That’s a lot. It’s a blessing!’

Danyell took Mecole’s thoughtful gesture to heart, sharing how the meaning behind made her feel.

‘It makes you feel good as a mother to know that your kids would go to this depth to let you know you did good,’ Danyell said.

Now when she’s not in the stands cheering on her son, Danyell will have a very comfortable place to watch every single NFL game.

The Chiefs open their season on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Florida on September 8.
