In a perfect world, Ravens running back Justin Forsett would have loved to buy his offensive linemen Rolex watches this year for Christmas. They helped him run for more than 1,000 yards this season for the first time in his career, so luxury watches would have been a fitting gift. But unfortunately, Forsett doesn't make as much money as a lot of NFL running backs—his 2014-15 salary is $730,000—so he decided to get his linemen something else instead: Big-screen TVs.
"To say you ran for 1,000 yards, that's something I've wanted to do since I started and it's been a big goal of mine," he said yesterday. "I know a lot of guys have bought Rolexes and more lavish gifts, but my bank account doesn't work like that. So I did what I could and those guys appreciated it."
Of course they did. 55-inch televisions might not be Rolexes. But they'll still get plenty of use at the homes of the Ravens offensive linemen. So it was a really nice way for Forsett to say, "Thank you."
