NFL Quarterbacks Take Christmas Gift Giving To Impressive Heights
Have you unwrapped your Christmas gifts yet? The hope is you have, so there's no envy or disappointment when you see the gifts NFL quarterbacks got their teammates this year.
Here we go (average annual salary in parentheses):
Let's start with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes ($45 million):
Mahomes is playing on Christmas Day as are his Kansas City Chiefs teammates. They visit the Pittsburgh Steelers.
And they should all be in good spirits because the Chiefs' QB supplied his offensive lineman with tons of expensive booty earlier in the week.
Mahomes led off with a classic in that he got all his offensive linemen Rolex watches. But that is not all.
The Christmas stocking from Mahomes included Lucchese boots, a Yeti cooler, Oakley sunglasses and Normatec compression sleeves for their legs.
Nice haul.
But not quite as punchy as the gift 49ers offensive linemen got.
Brock Purdy ($934,253): The San Francisco 49ers have been disappointing this season and are out of playoff contention.
But he went nuts at a Toyota dealership, purchasing 10 vehicles for his 10 offensive linemen – that includes reserves.
Purdy gifted his big men five Toyota Sequoias and five Toyota Tundras.
"Insane," one of the lineman said.
"Oh my God, I can't believe this," another said.
And we know what you're thinking. How is a guy on a rookie contract – one slotted for the last player selected in the 2022 draft class – able to afford such expensive gifts?
That's a very obtuse question to ask on Christmas Day.
Russell Wilson ($42.5 million from Denver contract): They say a gift card is not a thoughtful gift because it can be kind of impersonal. Well, how about a $10,000 gift card?
Wilson's package to his offensive linemen included a Louis Vuitton duffle
