Carson Wentz thought outside of the box when it came to what to gift his offensive linemen for Christmas. Wentz reportedly bought them customized shotguns.
We’ve seen an array of gifts from NFL players this season. Russell Wilson got his offensive linemen TVs and plane tickets. Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz must’ve had a pen and paper handy as he thought hard about what to get his offensive linemen. Wentz’s O-line are receiving customized shotguns. Wentz is making a different name for himself.
The rookie quarterback endeared himself to the men up front by buying each of them a Beretta shotgun for Christmas. Each is personalized with the player’s number engraved on the butt of the gun.
“This is an awesome gun. I’m excited about it,” said Allen Barbre, a fellow hunter. Barbre believes the Beretta model is a Silver Pigeon, which retails around $2,000 a pop. “I don’t know if I’ll shoot it, though. It’s pretty nice.”
Wentz is still playing the role of Santa since he hasn’t delivered the gifts just yet but the players are excited to get them.
“I haven’t really held a gun or anything before,” rookie Isaac Seumalo said. “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.”
