America became acquainted with his inspirational story of adoption as a teen out of a troubled life into the Christian home of the Tuohys, through the movie "The Blindside."

According to a Faithit report, Leigh Anne Tuohy, the 'real Blindside mama' recently posted a word of encouragement for Michael, as his team prepares for the big game, February 7th.

Accompanying a photo of Oher with herself and her husband, Sean, Leigh Anne cheered on her boy, posting the following on Facebook:

"Super Bowl Bound with this seasoned veteran!!! Michael Oher GREAT job babe!! You are my MVP, All-Star, rock star and I'm so so so proud of you!!! Keep grinding! One more game! #KeepPounding #GoPanthers"

It's not Michael's first trip to the pinnacle game of the NFL; he won his first Super Bowl ring with the Baltimore Ravens, the team that originally drafted him as a first-round pick.
