“Happy birthday mama! Love you (and) you deserve your first official car! Enjoy it ‘Had to cop her the ’17 Jag,’” Watson said on Twitter.

During the press conference, Watson expressed how much his mother means to him, and how hard she worked while raising him as a single mother. He said his mother was his source of strength and the first thing he wanted to do was spoil her with her first car because she deserved it.

"My mom -- she's my rock. She's the one that raised me. Single parent mom with four kids and the struggles that we went through, it was tough," Watson said.

There were mixed responses from people on Twitter, with some people questioning whether he was already getting paid that fast or where the money came from to purchase the vehicle.

 

Regardless of how it was bought, Watson’s mother seemed excited about her new vehicle and riding in style this year as her son is expected to start in the Texans' upcoming season.
