Every Time This Footballer Scores, He Gives His Blind Mom A Touchdown Ball To Let Her Know He Scored

There are various ways of celebrating after scoring, but none more beautiful than National Football League player DeAndre Hopkins customary celebration with his mother.

Instead of dabbing or going on a freak dance after scoring, Houston Texans' Hopkins finds his mom, Sabrina Greenlee, in the crowd and hands her the touchdown ball ¡ª which is exactly what he did in Thursday night¡¯s game against the Indianapolis Colts.

In the video that has now gone viral, the wide receiver can be seen running with the ball after scoring a touchdown toward his mother. Greenlee triumphantly holds the ball over her head with a giant smile on her face as her son runs back out onto the field.

It is a special moment for the mother to share her son's victory sand especially important for Greenlee as she is not able to see the game.

Greenlee lost her vision in 2002 in an acid attack when a woman threw a combination of lye and bleach on her during a domestic dispute involving a man Greenlee had been dating. She remained in a medically induced coma for several weeks.

What a special touch. In the modern sports where celebration are bizarre, sometimes offensive, and even vague - this is a wonderful way to celebrate scoring a touchdown.

In the game that DeAndre Hopkins scored a touch down, Houston Texans went on to win 20-17.
