A young Indianapolis Colts fan got more than he expected when linebacker Darius Leonard gave him his game-worn white gloves after Sunday’s 28-11 victory over the visiting Minnesota Vikings.

Inside one the gloves was a shiny bonus — Leonard’s wedding ring, USA Today reported.

Fortunately for Leonard, the lucky fan happened to be the step-nephew of Bleacher Report’s Tyler Brooke, who tweeted out a picture of the find and tagged Leonard in it. The Pro Bowl linebacker responded with a casual “I need that” along with four laughing emojis.

We’re guessing the South Carolina nativewill vow to more careful the next time he gifts his gloves to a fan.
