FOXBORO — Patriots offensive linemen will soon have presents left by their lockers.
Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye said Tuesday that he and backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett will be giving their offensive linemen Christmas gifts soon.
That’s become a popular trend around the NFL. During his endorsement deal with Uggs, Tom Brady used to give his offensive linemen slippers around the holidays. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy recently gave his offensive linemen new Toyota SUVs and trucks through a sponsorship deal.
“Oh, for sure. You have to give those guys some love,” Maye said. “All the hard work they put in throughout the season. I got something for them coming up soon, and I’m looking forward to showing my appreciation for them, me and Jacoby both.”
Players were asked what was their favorite gift growing up. For Maye, it was an electric motorbike, for Henry, it was a Shaquille O’Neal jersey, for defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr., it was a Playstation, and for Mayo, it was a mountain bike.
