NFL stars across the league celebrated the holiday season by presenting their teammates with gifts.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued the tradition of giving presents to his offensive line as a form of appreciation for protecting him throughout the team’s impressive 14-1 campaign.
Mahomes provided Kansas City’s lineman with Rolex watches, Oakley sunglasses, Lucchese boots, a pair of Normatec recovery leg sleeves, Whoop bands and “an item or two from Louis Vuitton” in Yeti coolers (via TMZ).
Cincinnati Bengals signal-caller Joe Burrow went in a different direction with gifts for the team’s offensive line, letting his teammates chose their own authentic Japanese Katana swords.
Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers presented his lineman with 10 new Toyota trucks, allowing his teammates to pick which of the vehicles they desired.
Daniel Jones opened the year as the New York Giants’ starter under center, but he was eventually benched and requested his release from the team before joining the Minnesota Vikings.
Jones didn’t forget about his old teammates, though. He sent limited edition bottles of Clase Azule tequila to all of the offensive linemen that were previously on the roster with him, per ESPN’s Jordan Raanan.

Daniel Jones with a class move. He may not be the Giants QB anymore but … he sent all the offensive linemen who were on the roster with him a limited edition bottle of Clase Azul.
Jones was benched and released by the Giants last month. He’s on the Vikings practice squad.
Philadelphia Eagles stars Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley teamed up to buy each lineman a personalized golf cart for the holidays. Each cart included the last name and number of the intended recipient.
