Watch New York Giants' Daniel Jones gift high school football player Super Bowl tickets in heartfelt surprise

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones gifted high school student Alex Brown with tickets to the Super Bowl in a heartfelt surprise.

Brown is a quarterback at Red Bank Catholic High School in New Jersey who totaled eight touchdowns in a playoff game in November just one day after his mother died of breast cancer complications.

Jones called Brown from the Giants' locker room to surprise him with three tickets to Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles next month and congratulate Brown on his 58-34 playoff win.

Brown threw for six touchdowns and rushed for two against Morris Catholic. Two games later, Brown led his team to a state championship game that was played in MetLife Stadium, home of the Giants.

"We want to recognize you by giving you three tickets to the Super Bowl," Jones said via facetime to Brown. "For you, your dad, and your brother."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady also acknowledged the achievement, commenting "Proud of you" on Brown's post on social media.
