The Pittsburgh Steelers are snapping up real estate all over the country.
A day after running back James Conner posted a video of him surprising his mom with a house, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster did the same for some members of his family.
Smith-Schuster posted a 20-minute video of the backstory and surprise to his YouTube channel on Monday night, reminding viewers that he grew up in a house with 23 people and didn’t have his own bed until he got to college. That experience motivated him to buy a big house for his family.
“Now that I’m able to live my dream and play in the NFL, I think it’s everyone’s dream to take care of their family at some point in their life, especially when it’s their parents,” Smith-Schuster said on the vlog. “For me, myself, I’m buying my mom and dad a house. It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid.”
This is one of the biggest accomplishments of my life and a dream come true! I've wanted to do this for so long, finally being able to do this is just unbelievable to me. Check out the video! ➡️ https://t.co/7sNIZ1J5S0 pic.twitter.com/qysVCWgUhn

Smith-Schuster told his mom the news earlier this year on FaceTime, revealing that he bought his parents a six-bedroom, five-bathroom house with a pool in Yorba Linda, California -- their favorite of three finalists.
He surprised his brothers and sisters a couple of months later, flying from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles on June 19.
He told his siblings they were coming over to his Airbnb for a swim, but in reality, they were coming over to pick their rooms and design them.
Smith-Schuster, 23, is in the final year of his rookie deal with the Steelers.
