From luxury cars to personalized shotguns, NFL quarterbacks & running backs get creative when taking care of their offensive linemen.

Here are 5 of my favorite gifts ever.

Time for a thread

1) After the Patriots’ 2007 season — a campaign which ended with a 16-0 regular-season record before losing in Super Bowl XLII — Tom Brady gifted each of his 5 starting linemen brand new Audi Q7 SUVs.

The cost?

Valued at ~$40,000 each, the generous gift was worth about $200,000

2) After the 2012 season, which saw Adrian Peterson rush or 2,097 yards — the 2nd-most in NFL history — the Vikings RB gave his linemen a Minnesota-Esque gift.

What was it?

Personalized Arctic Cat Snowmobiles.

At more than $8,000 each, the gift cost Peterson $40,000+ in total.

3) Skittles teamed up with Denver Broncos QB Trevor Siemian in 2016 to provide his starting offensive linemen with a "unique" gift for Christmas.

Each player received a customized Skittles parka jacket.

The best part?

Each jacket came equipped with a Skittles dispenser.

4) In 2017, after rushing for an NFL-best 1,200+ yards and earning his third career Pro Bowl invite, Le’Veon Bell gifted the Steelers offensive line Hublot Watches.

The cost?

Around $13,000 each. https://twitter.com/LeVeonBell/status/944588940832591873

5) After signing a record $140M deal in 2019, Russell Wilson gave back to his offensive linemen.

Wilson gave his 13 offensive linemen $12,000 each of Amazon stock — or $156,000 in total.

Even better, Amazon’s stock is up 75% — making the original $12,000 gift worth ~$21,000.

6) In the end, this list could have included many more infamous gifts — including Ezekiel Elliott’s ATVs, Lamar Jackson's Rolex Watches, or Carson Wentz' personalized shotguns — but I had to draw the line somewhere.

The more important question is…

What did I miss?
