Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz just gets it. Any smart quarterback knows that you have to take care of the offensive line, and they’ll, in turn, take care of you.

Smart quarterbacks in the NFL just get it. It would be wise to take care of the guys you need to take care of you. Rumor has it that, once upon a time, Dan Marino bought his offensive line Rolex watches. Fast forward, and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz decided to do the same thing with Christmas approaching.

He got his bodyguards some pretty cool Christmas presents of their own.

It must be nice to play along the ‘O’ line for the ‘Birds’.

For Wentz, it’s all about building both family and comradery. He’s taken teammates home with him to train. He’s bought them rifles and taken them on hunting trips. This year, he decided to open the purse and get them something else he thought they might enjoy.

Take a look.

It’s hard to pinpoint an exact dollar amount, but YETI cups and coolers along with BOSE sound systems are enough for us to put this nice little package in the category of ‘thoughtful’.

2018’s been tough, but thanks to Wentz, some of his teammates can forget that for a few hours as the hoist their brand new YETI cups and take down a beer or two. On Sunday, it’s back to work as they face the Houston Texans. Then, it’s Christmas on Tuesday and the season finale versus the Washington Redskins just one day before New Years Eve.

It’s going to be a busy week.
