Vikings' Kyle Rudolph Says Media Member Sold His Signed Gloves on eBay

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph tried to do the right thing last Sunday and ended up getting swindled. 

After catching four passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in last weekend's playoff victory over the New Orleans Saints, Rudolph was asked by a media member, whom the tight end didn't name, for his gloves to auction off at a charity benefit. Rudolph, a nominee for the 2019 Walter Payton Man of the Year award, didn't hesitate to hand them over and even offered to sign them.

Cut to Wednesday, when Rudolph discovered the gloves were being sold on eBay, and it's clear the 30-year-old was not impressed by the move:

Interest in a game-used item is something you'd expect from the autograph line, not a postgame locker room media scrum. 

Fortunately, there's a happy ending here. The fan who won the auction tweeted at Rudolph and let him know he would donate the gloves to the charity of the tight end's choice. They'll now be going to UMN Children's Hospital in Minneapolis.
