A lot of quarterbacks buy their offensive linemen expensive presents when they have a great season. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers delivered his offensive linemen a bundle of crap on Wednesday.
The offensive linemen — all of them, including the non-starters and practice squad guys — and the backup quarterbacks got new TVs, tablets and headphones from Rodgers. They found them in their lockers.

That’s the 55-inch Samsung Curved if you’re keeping score. Not quite as good as the 60-inch, but whatever.
Naturally, the guys were pretty happy with their haul, probably no one more so than rookie center Corey Linsley.
“I mean that’s just his characteristic, a characteristic of who he is,” Linsley said. “It’s not that I expected that by any means, but it’s like when he does something like that, it’s like, ‘That’s Aaron. That’s who he is.’ “
The line has done a hell of a job keeping Rodgers upright this year. They have allowed only 29 sacks so far this season.
That’s obviously where Rodgers drew the line at gift giving on the team this year. His receivers got nothing.
