It’s the holiday season, and two offensive stalwarts for the New England Patriots clearly are in the spirit of giving.
During their flight back to Foxboro, Mass. following a 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola teamed up to surprise one college football player with life-changing news.
Justus Parker, a defensive back for Texas Tech, walked on with Red Raiders in 2015, but he’s quickly become a staple of the team’s defense. And Monday, Gronkowski and Amendola, a Texas Tech product, helped surprise Parker with the news that he’s been put on scholarship.
Check out the scene in all of its awesomeness below:

It’s safe to say Parker was as surprised as anyone by the video.
