For Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, that meant showing his linemen how much he loves to hunt.

It is a long-standing tradition in the NFL for quarterbacks and running backs to buy gifts for the offensive linemen who do all of the grunt work.

According to Tim McManus of ESPN, Wentz bought each of his linemen a Beretta shotgun. On top of that, each shotgun is personalized with each player's number on the butt of the gun.

Left guard Allen Barbre told McManus that he believes the guns are a Silver Pigeon model. According to Beretta, the Silver Pigeon Sporting has a suggested retail price of $2,400. There are ten offensive linemen listed on the Eagles depth chart (not including the tight ends), which brings the total cost to $24,000, and that is before the customization.

Here is Silver Pigeon Sporting, via Beretta:

Wentz, who is from North Dakota, is an avid hunter. He even spent his bye week this season bow hunting.

While both Barbre and fellow lineman Brandon Brooks said they are already active gun owners who hunt and go clay shooting, for at least one of the linemen, this is his first gun.
