Miami Dolphins linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. is an excellent gift-giver. Forget about all of the players who gift each other expensive watches, jewelry, or technology. These athletes can afford to buy those things on their own. Walker gave each of them something they would treasure not for the monetary value but for its sentimentality.
Anthony Walker gave each player his high school football jersey. It must have taken a village of people a lot of time to track down the schools and points of contact to make this happen. He probably was not enmeshed in those details.
It does not matter. The big reveal to his teammates and their reactions were priceless.

Miami Dolphins Players Proudly Wore Their Gifts
In addition to the surprised reactions, players immediately put on their high school jerseys and proudly wore them around the locker room. One thing makes us curious about the gifts. Odell Beckham Jr. was waived on December 13. Did Walker have a high school jersey gift ready for him? If so, did he give it to him anyway?
The moment of levity for the players receiving Walker’s gifts was a pleasant change from a stressful and trying season for the Miami Dolphins. They are 6-8 and five games behind the division-leading Buffalo Bills.
The Dolphins entered the season with high hopes which have not materialized. Can they still make the playoffs? Technically, they are still in the playoff hunt, but they need a lot of help and good luck to make that happen.
To make playoffs, Dolphins need:
1️⃣ Colts to lose 1 game
2️⃣ Chargers to lose 2 of 3
3️⃣ Ravens/Broncos lose out or Chargers collapse as stated
4️⃣ Win all 3 remaining gamesCurrent odds: ~6%.
