Seahawks Santa – AKA quarterback Russell Wilson – came early this year.

Wilson surprised offensive linemen with curved HD TVs and presented first-class flight tickets to the entire team. The quarterback posted to his Instagram stories, which disappear after 24 hours like Snapchat, about the gifts.

“First Class flights for all the fellas … wherever you guys want to go man … Go Hawks … Thanks Alaska (Airlines)… Always the best!” Wilson wrote. “O-Line … for you big fellas … I know y’all like watching movies, TV, Netflix … I appreciate all that you guys do … All the hard work pays off.”

A Seahawks fan downloaded the social media story and tweeted it.


Safety Kam Chancellor also posted to his Instagram story, saying “O-Line getting TVs for Christmas… You a good Quarterback Russ (Russell Wilson) … I don’t care what they say.”

The Samsung Curved UHD TVs sell for $800.
