Former Oregon Duck Christian Gonzalez buys parents a new house

One of the goals of every athlete who ultimately reaches the professional level is to be able to provide for their family and give back to those who have helped get them to where they are.

Former Oregon Ducks cornerback Christian Gonzalez was finally able to see that dream come to fruition.

On his Instagram this past weekend, Gonzalez shared that he bought his parents a new house. Here’s what he wrote in the post:

“Mom and Dad, I told you guys when I started this football journey at 5 years old I was going to put you in a place you couldn’t imagine. You guys deserve this and even more. I love y’all!”

Fit with beautiful hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and a pool in the backyard, it looks like a beautiful house. As a first-round pick with the New England Patriots a year ago, Gonzalez signed a four-year contract worth over $15 million. It’s great to see he’s putting it to good use.
