It's that time of the year. Offensive linemen from across the NFL are receiving gifts during the holiday season.
While some players, like Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, are dropping exorbitant amounts of cash on their big guys up front, others are sacrificing cost and giving presents that come straight from the heart. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is hoping to pass along his love of hunting to his offensive linemen by buying each of them a customized Beretta shotgun with their number engraved on the butt of the gun.
Since the shotguns are still being customized, the Eagles' offensive linemen received a text message from Wentz with a picture of what their gift will look like. As bizarre as this present may seem, they all appear to like their new gift. "This is an awesome gun. I'm excited about it," guard and avid hunter Allen Barbre told ESPN. "I don't know if I'll shoot it, though. It's pretty nice." Brandon Brooks, another Eagles guard, confessed that he was looking for this type of shotgun.
Meanwhile, Eagles rookie guard Isaac Seumalo, who has never even held a gun, is also looking forward to receiving the gift and some lessons from Wentz. "I haven't really held a gun or anything before," Seumalo told ESPN. "But I'm more than thankful for it. It looks sweet. Carson said he'd teach me how to use it and all that good stuff."
