As the contents of the Christmas hampers that Patrick Mahomes gifted to the linesmen were disclosed online, social media users expressed their opinions on the matter. While some pointed out Mahomes is quite generous for gifting such expensive hampers, some others quipped about what he might be gifting to the referees.

One of the social media users asked, "What did he get the refs this year?"

"I wonder what he got for the refs that never call holding penalties 🤔," added someone else.

Another netizen chimed in, "Is this the package he gave the refs for all the no calls?"

Another fan praised the hamper saying, "Some nice gifts right there!"

"Damn. Imagine if they actually protected him what they would get," quipped someone else.

Another fan added jokingly, "They should all pitch in and buy him an ankle brace."

A user wondered, "Curious how many guys get this package? The 5 starters obviously. What about guys who play when someone is injured? Bottom of the roster/practice squad guys, any love for them?"

"Do they give him any Christmas gift? Or is it only him giving them?" asked another user. 

Someone else, meanwhile, added, "Not diminishing the gifts, but how many of those companies have endorsement deals w Pat? I know he definitely has one w Oakley. I'm sure he ponied up for the Rolexs but I'd venture to be the rest is from companies that he works with. Still nice sentiment. Merry Christmas."

"He’s a good human because I’d have given them coal for the way they were playing," sarcastically added another.

Someone else noted, "Should have bought them all Lego kits. Then maybe they would have an idea what blocks are."
