Kwon Alexander is having an impressive season, the linebacker's first with the San Francisco 49ers. He signed a four-year deal in March worth up to $54 million after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Now, the Pro Bowl linebacker is thanking one of the most important people in his life for helping him in his journey. Alexander bought and gifted a brand new Range Rover for his mother, and shared the surprise presentation via Instagram.
The 49ers signed Alexander despite the fact that the linebacker suffered a torn ACL in October of 2018. The gamble paid off. He has registered 18 combined tackles, 0.5 sacks, four passes defensed, and an interception through four starts this season, and has become a vocal leader on the defense.
Alexander, a fourth-round draft pick by the Buccaneers in 2015, has recorded 398 combined tackles, 7.5 sacks, 26 passes defensed, seven interceptions, a touchdown, and six forced fumbles through his five NFL seasons.
