Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, gifted his offensive line engraved Rolex watches valued at approximately $10,000 each as a holiday surprise. The gesture, which took place on December 24, 2024, delighted the players, with center Matt Hennessy sharing his excitement on social media. “Best gift ever,” he posted on his Instagram Stories, showcasing the elegant timepiece.
The watches presented to his teammates were likely the Rolex Submariner Date, a luxury model known for its craftsmanship and durability. Each watch featured personalized engravings on the back, making the gifts even more special for the players.
Teammates Join in the Holiday Spirit
Purdy was not the only member of the 49ers spreading holiday cheer. Hennessy also shared images of gifts from teammate Mac Jones, which included a Breville coffee maker and a humorous “Protectors of Glock Purdy Mac 10” T-shirt. Christian McCaffrey also contributed to the festive atmosphere with a stylish Bottega Veneta duffel bag for his friends.
During a press conference, Hennessy hinted at his own gifts for teammates, stating, “I don’t know. I’ve got something for them, but they’re going to get it after practice today. I don’t want to say. Yeah, no spoilers.” Such exchanges are common in the NFL, as many players treat their teammates to luxurious presents during the holiday season.
Hennessy’s enthusiasm for holiday gifting aligns with Purdy’s previous generous gesture in December 2024, when he presented his entire offensive line with new Toyota trucks, including five Sequoias and five Tundras. In a social media video, Purdy expressed his appreciation, saying, “Boys, I just want to say Merry Christmas. I got some gifts for you guys. Sorry for the wait, but if you want to follow me outside. Let’s go.”
Purdy’s Rise and Future Prospects
Purdy’s generosity comes as he continues to build his reputation in the NFL. Drafted last overall in 2022, he led the 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2024, where they faced the Kansas City Chiefs but fell short in a narrow defeat. The Chiefs went on to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl. Despite this setback, the 49ers have already secured a playoff spot for the upcoming postseason in 2026.
Reflecting on the team’s performance, Purdy praised his offensive line’s ability to work together. He noted, “I feel like guys are tying everything together and they’re playing together as a unit, so it’s been nice obviously to be able to get the ball out of my hand to help them out get into a rhythm.” Purdy emphasized the importance of their cohesion, especially during critical moments like third downs.
As the 49ers prepare for the playoffs, Purdy’s leadership and camaraderie with his teammates could play a crucial role in their pursuit of a championship. The quarterback expressed pride in his offensive line, stating, “I’m really proud of those guys right now.” With the holiday spirit alive within the team, they look forward to achieving greater success in the coming season.
