After scoring a touchdown in the Miami Dolphins win over the New York Giants this past Sunday, Tyreek Hill ran to the stands looking for his mom and attempted to give her the winning ball.
One fan, tried to snag the ball, getting caught up in the excitement. Once he realized that Hill was giving it to his mom, he immediately handed it over.
Hill, who understood the fans' excitement and was appreciative that he handed it over once he understood, decided to go out of his way to do something nice for him.
"I don't know if you guys remember the viral video with my mom after the touchdown celebration. So as I'm giving the ball to my mom, a lucky fella tried to steal the ball away from my mom," Hill said on his TikTok. "But today will be his very lucky day as I will be surprising him with some autographed signed items from myself."

Hill walked into the restaurant, going right up to the table the fan was seated at. And the fan's reaction was unmatched, beyond excited to see the Dolphins star receiver.
"You've got to be f***ing kidding me," the fan said. "You are the coolest f***ing guy. You are the coolest dude ever man."
And as Hill handed over a signed Miami Dolphins football, the smile on the fan's face said it all.
"You made my day that day. I didn't know your mom was behind us and if I wouldn't known, I would have stepped aside," the fan added when speaking with Hill. "The greatest football player in the NFL is jumping up right here and going to give a ball. And I said I'm going to jump up there."
The two joined together towards the end of the video to provide a little more context into what happened, with Hill starting it off on a joking note.
"He wasn't trying to steal the ball from my mom," Hill said. "He just wanted to hug it and make sure it wasn't nothing crazy."
And the fan jumped right in after, defending himself after receiving some hate for what happened.
"You haters out there, I was giving the ball to his mom," he said. "I didn't know she was there. But if I knew she was there, I would have stood out of the way for this man."
Hill's kind gesture surely made an impact on this fan, who was both starstruck to meet the receiver and astonished by his actions.
"He gave me a ball," the fan said. "He want out of his way to give me a football. This is totally awesome."
