Detroit Lions rookie defensive line Tyleik Williams took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal he has given his mom two incredible gifts.
Williams made two separate posts to his Instagram story showing that he has bought his mom both a house and a car.
"Love you ma," Williams wrote in one post.
Congratulations you deserve it all," the rookie said in another post.
Williams was drafted in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft by the Lions in April. He signed a four-year, $16.4 million contract that carries an option for 2029.

Looking ahead to his first season in the NFL, Williams is expected to be a starter for Detroit next to D.J. Reader and in between Aidan Hutchinson and Marcus Davenport.
That likely wouldn't have been the case if not for injuries to fellow defensive linemen Alim McNeill and Levi Onwuzurike. McNeill is recovering from a torn ACL suffered in December and may not be ready for the start of the season and Onwuzurike was ruled out for the entire 2025 campaign due to a torn ACL.
"I think Tyleik has made a lot of strides," Hutchinson said of Williams. "He was such a great prospect coming out, I think how he's been able to evolve as a player in this camp. I've been working really close with him because a lot of times we're next to each other on the field, so communication has to be on point.
"You see it on a week-to-week basis. You see the steps. That's really important."
Williams and the Lions wrapped up the preseason on Saturday and will now turn their attention to the regular-season opener on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the Green Bay Packers.
