Washington rookie RB Derrius Guice surprises mom with new ride

Jul 12, 2018, 7:04 AM

Whoever said the season of giving was only around Christmas hasn’t met Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice.

On Monday, the second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft surprised his mother Beulah with a brand new ride in Baton Rouge, La..

It’s not just any ride, either. It’s a white Jaguar SUV.

And what’s a good surprise without some champagne?

Guice pulled out all the stops to make the moment special, including a white bow on the hood and a mini bottle of champagne to christen the vehicle — and everyone around it.

But this wasn’t Guice’s first time giving back.

Guice recently helped out an LSU student with a $1,000 donation. She is a fifth-year senior whose scholarship expired after four years of school.

Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette stepped up as well, offering to pay for the rest of her tuition.

So, what’s next for Guice?

A new house for his mom.
