Broncos' C.J. Anderson surprises grandmother with new car

Published: Mar 23, 2015 at 07:23 AM

The Denver Broncos were pleasantly surprised by C.J. Anderson last season. Anderson ended up taking over the backfield in 2014 and ran for 849 yards. Not bad for a player who only started seven games.

Anderson fought his way into the NFL as an undrafted free agent. He also made a few promises along the way. One was to his grandmother. Anderson bought her a new Honda CR-V. Here's the video.

It's a touching moment for the family. It's easy to root for a humble player like Anderson.

Daniel Williams is a Digital Features Editor at NFL.com and now thinks C.J. Anderson should be in his own "Helpful Honda" commercial. You can follow him at _@danielwilliams_.
