Cornerback Jaylon Johnson recalled growing up with a gas fireplace, and wondering how Santa Claus would get down the chimney.
"In my head, I was watching the shows, and it was like, 'Yeah, he comes through the chimney,' and all that. I was looking, and I'm like, 'My chimney don't look like that. How he going to come through the glass?'" Johnson said."I was always trying to prove something wrong, so I mean, I definitely spoiled it," he said."I mean, honestly, I feel like my favorite gift was probably like a Nerf gun that I got back in the day.
"My favorite gift was the [Ninendo] Wii. So a lot of fights came from the Wii, but that was our favorite family gift that we got," he said. "It was in the back, and she [mom] had rolled it out, and she pretended like, 'Oh, yeah, this Christmas, I couldn't give you that,'" he said."'Oh, dang. If you couldn't afford it, I understand, mom,' and then she always comes through, and then here comes the bicycle. So that was pretty cool."
