A video has surfaced of an adorable 87-year-old grandma receiving her favorite football player’s jersey shortly before the start of Super Bowl 50.
For her 87th birthday, a grandmother in North Carolina was gifted a Cam Newton Super Bowl 50 jersey. After the video was posted on Facebook, it received about 2.4 million views and over 50,000 shares.
In the video, the grandma is seen opening her gift, a ‘FedEx’ package, which her grandson sent to her. The man filming the video, presumably her grandson, then asks her ‘If anything big is happening this Sunday?’
When she looks confused and the man then asks her if she knows anybody who is going to be in this year’s Super Bowl, she just says ‘Oh my guy, number one.’ The grandmother then proceeds to do the ‘dab’ dance that the Carolina Panthers quarterback has popularized.

The grandmother then puts the jersey on after a woman who looks like her granddaughter helps her open the gift.
‘Is that your favorite player Cam Newton?’ asked her grandson.
‘Yeah! Sure is!’, she said.
The video ends with her grandchildren saying: ‘We love you grandma, Happy Birthday.’
