What should Santa bring the guy with the stickiest mitts on the team and a family fan following that rivals the Nebraska football student section in size?

The “World’s Best Receiver” mug seems too obvious. Maybe some fancy coffees with “roasted secondary” labels? No. That’s too cheesy. A guaranteed draft pick to any NFL team but the Browns? Now we’re cooking with gas.

I know! Santa, if there’s any way you could find room in your sack for one last WesterKatch, it would give No. 1 the record for most catches in consecutive games! He’s currently tied with 36 and no doubt with his roommate (gotta get as much use out of that while I can) at the helm, Armstrong will be looking his way.

Also Santa, Jordan’s been very good during press conferences this year and he had some Conor McGregor swagger following a touchdown against Maryland. Perhaps if you could see your way to securing him some tickets to the next UFC bout that features the rough and tumble Irishman?

If there’s one thing the holidays doesn’t have enough of, it’s mixed martial arts.

Oh and I know that sometimes Armstrong’s passes that unfortunately go a bit over his head, so how about some extra long sticky hands just for the bowl game? Surely you can talk the refs into allowing it just this one time. You do have a naughty list, after all.

It would be a shame if they happened to get coal in their stockings.
