Mac Jones is in the first year of his rookie contract and making far less money than many of his teammates and peers. But that didn’t stop the New England Patriots quarterback from showing his offensive linemen this holiday season just how much he appreciates them.
Patriots guard Ted Karras told reporters on Friday that the team’s offensive line got a “big haul” from Jones on Christmas Eve. Karras didn’t go into detail, but he said Jones surprised his protectors with a “myriad of items, each one cooler than the next.”

“It’s one of the best efforts (I’ve seen) — especially from a rookie — to show appreciation and wish us a merry Christmas,” Karras said. “I’m very thankful to him and very glad to be his teammate this Christmas season.”
We’ve seen some awesome gifts from quarterbacks to their teammates over the years. The gifts always go a long way, and it obviously didn’t take Jones long to realize that.
