Giovani Bernard and his future mother-in-law donate famous minivan featured on HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’

One of the most memorable moments from HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ in 2013 was the Bengals’ second-round draft pick driving to practice in a minivan.

Giovani Bernard was only a rookie when he borrowed a minivan from his then-girlfriend’s (now fiancee’s) mother for training camp.

His future mother-in-law, Anita, just purchased a new vehicle, according to a report from WKRC, and she wanted to donate her minivan to someone in need.

Bernard’s fiancee’s mother, Anita, recently bought a new vehicle from the Mercedes Benz of Fort Mitchell, and decided to ask the dealership if they knew of anyone who would be in need of her minivan, as she would like to donate it if so.
