Carson Palmer makes O-line wear ridiculous Christmas outfits to get gifts from him

A lot of NFL quarterbacks and running backs buy their offensive linemen gifts around Christmas time to show their appreciation. These 325-pound gorillas have done their best to keep the guys throwing and running the ball alive, and many of them deserve more recognition than they get. However, pass protection isn’t enough for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer.

Rather than simply giving his offensive linemen gifts out of the kindness of his heart, Palmer is making the big guys work if they want goodies.

“To get their Christmas gift from Carson Palmer, the o-line have to wear his hand picked outfits all day,” kicker Jay Feely tweeted along with the photo you see above.

The onesie is always a humiliating great look, but the Christmas sweater/tights combination that Palmer made offensive guard Daryn Colledge wear was even better.

Let’s just hope the gifts Palmer is giving are as good as what Arian Foster got his offensive linemen last year. Anything less would be uncivilized.
