In the spirit of the holiday season, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has once again made headlines for being one of the most generous teammates a football player could ever ask for.
Rodgers gifted the entire Steelers’ offensive line with Can-Am Maverick side-by-side off-road vehicles for Christmas. This move is just one of many that the future hall-of-famer has led to build up some camaraderie within the team during the most crucial part of their schedule.
As the Steelers push through the 2025 season, it’s clear that they’ll need more than just sheer talent to win the AFC North. Of course, Rodgers is 42-years-old and on the last year (or two) of his NFL career. We have seen these acts of kindness before, especially given Rodgers’ history of leadership through appreciation.
The Ultimate Holiday Surprise
The gifts, revealed through social media and news reports, came from Mosites Motorsports, a Pittsburgh-based dealership specializing in powersports vehicles. Each Can-Am Maverick X3, a high-performance off-road machine, carries a price tag between $20,000 and $35,000, making the total act of kindness cost somewhere around $200,000.
The Can-Am Maverick X3 is no ordinary gifs. It’s a rugged, high-speed off-road vehicle designed for adventure, featuring powerful engines, advanced suspension, and seating for multiple passengers.
Rodgers purchased these from Mosites Motorsports, who shared a video on social media captioned, “This Christmas, Aaron Rodgers gave his offensive line the gift of horsepower. Safe to say, it delivered.”
The delivery was timed perfectly for Christmas, adding a festive touch to the surprise. Social media clips show the linemen reacting with joy, some even test-driving the vehicles immediately. This gesture not only provides practical fun, but the “horsepower” aspect was particularly clever, as the line revs it up in protecting Rodgers from sacks and pressures during games.
A Tradition of Gratitude
Rodgers has a well-documented history of gifting his offensive linemen extravagant items, dating back to his days with the Green Bay Packers.
In previous years, Rodgers has given offensive linemen ATVs, high-end electronics, and even custom suits. This pattern continued when he joined the New York Jets briefly before landing with the Steelers in 2025, where he aims to lead the team to playoff success.
Offensive linemen are crucial to a quarterback’s safety and success, but they’re the ones in the trenches without all of the endorsement deals. Rodgers has publicly stated in past interviews that he views these presents as a way to say “thank you” for their hard work.
By continuing his gifting tradition, he’s integrating his personal style into the Steelers’ culture, potentially enhancing team chemistry. Earlier this month, Rodgers had all of the Steelers’ offensive players and coaches over to his house for his 42nd birthday party, where they ate cake and watched film before an important game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Impact on Steelers’ Morale
The reaction from the Steelers’ offensive line was overwhelmingly positive, with players sharing their excitement on social media. One lineman reportedly described it as “the best Christmas gift ever.”. The dealership’s video captured genuine smiles and high-fives, amplifying the holiday cheer.
In a season where the Steelers have faced ups and downs, gestures like this can strengthen bonds and improve on-field performance. You can’t help but remind yourself that a gift like this will go a long way.
Put yourself in the offensive linemen’s shoes. If Rodgers got you an awesome gift, wouldn’t you want to keep protecting him? Heck, you have to imagine what he would get the entire team if the Steelers won the Super Bowl.
Ultimately, Rodgers’ gift reinforces his reputation as a thoughtful teammate, countering past narratives about his personality. As the 2025 season winds down, this could be the spark that propels the team forward, blending holiday cheer with winning some important football games.
