One of the best NFL traditions we love to see is back once again for 2024: Quarterbacks and — occasionally— running backs thank their offensive lines for all the hard work protecting them and blocking for them by handing out some seriously expensive gifts during the holiday season. They usually go viral and we all love them.
So it’s time for our annual tradition that comes with it: we rank the gifts based on awesomeness (last year, Josh Allen won for a second straight year with ATVs given out). With Christmas Day approaching, it seems like a good time to roll out the rankings.
Let’s rank at the stuff we saw the O-lines get in 2024:
4. Daniel Jones, Minnesota Vikings (but this gift was for the New York Giants)
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.

Shoutout to Danny Dimes, who sent his former team’s O-line some Clase Azul tequila bottles. Truly classy.
3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes left each of the Chiefs’ offensive linemen a gift package for the holidays, featuring:
• Rolex
• Oakleys
• Yeti cooler
• Lucchese boots
• Normatec recovery boots(📸: @Chiefs, @heykayadams) pic.twitter.com/tSH6YXlzDK

His O-line got a whole bunch of coolers filled with stuff from air compression machines to help with recovery, sunglasses, watches, WHOOP bands … the list goes on.
2. Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers

Dude got each of his lineman a Toyota truck. This would win in any other year, but …
1. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
Epic gift alert: Joe Burrow gifted his offensive linemen authentic Japanese Katana swords.
They are all unique. Each sword comes with its own story, from certain towns or battles. He put them all in a room and had them pick theirs out.
“Joe does a great job at buying gifts…

HE GOT THEM KATANAS! Just for the coolness factor, this one wins.
