De'Mornay Pierson-El has bounced around different football leagues including the NFL, CFL and defunct AAF since he wrapped up his Nebraska career in 2017.
On Sunday, he scored his first touchdown in the XFL for the St. Louis BattleHawks and then dedicated the score to his grandmother, who passed away about a week ago.
Pierson-El scored the touchdown on a short throw to the flat after coming in motion and hauling in an accurate throw from quarterback Jordan Ta'amu.
Then he ran over to the sideline and handed the ball to his sister in the stands.
