Former New England Patriots running back Kenjon Barner wasn't expecting to receive a Super Bowl LIII ring from the team, but that's exactly what came in the mail this week.

Barner - now a member of the Atlanta Falcons - was released three times during his two months with the Patriots last season, with the final cut coming in November. Although the rusher wasn't part of the playoff run, team owner Robert Kraft decided to send Barner a championship ring anyway.

The 29-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a photo of the letter and ring he received from Kraft.

Barner then decided to gift the ring to his father, who was just as surprised as he was.
