Before NFL players dominated the pros, they were once high school football prospects dreaming of making it big time. For the Miami Dolphins players, Anthony Walker Jr. gave them gifts that would help them reminisce about those days.

Through All Stars Miami, the veteran linebacker had replicas of his teammates’ high school football jerseys made. The Dolphins players enjoyed the meaningful present, as seen on the video shared by the FinsXtra account on X/Twitter.

“I wanted to give back to my guys, the team. I wanted to do something different for Christmas this year. So, I know everybody remembers their high school days when we first started getting into it. We’re taking it seriously,” Walker revealed as the inspiration behind his gifts.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was one of the players featured in the video. He smiled while opening the package containing a customized jersey of his alma mater, Hawaii’s Saint Louis School. The one-time Pro Bowl QB dominated with the Crusaders, finishing with 2,583 yards and 33 touchdowns in his first season.

Also featured in the video was offensive tackle Terron Armstead enjoying his customized Cahokia High School jersey. During his senior year with the Comanches, Armstead was an Illinois high school football All-Class 5A selection after helping his team finish at 11-2. He eventually became a five-time NFL Pro Bowler, three with the New Orleans Saints and two with the Dolphins.

Veteran defensive tackle Calais Campbell dapped Walker after receiving the thoughtful gift. The three-time All-Pro attended South High School in Denver, Colorado, and established a state record of 57 sacks. Campbell is also a six-time Pro Bowler who has played for five NFL teams.

Safety Jordan Poyer (Astoria), linebacker Jordyn Brooks (Stratford), and defensive tackle Zach Sieler (Pinckney) also appeared in the video. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (Episcopal) and fullback Alec Ingold (Bay Port) were cheerful while showing their high school football jerseys.
