Santa's little elves weren't so little on Thursday, as four defensive linemen for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hit the aisles of a local Walmart to pick up toys for needy children. Wearing their jerseys and each tipping the scales at more than 300 pounds, the players picked an assortment of children's presents, which they donated to Metropolitan Ministries for its annual toy drive.
