Super Bowl LX is still a week away. But while the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are preparing to face offfor all the marbles for the second time in a decade, it’s officially the offseason for the NFL’s other 30 teams.
For LJ Collier and Dalvin Tomlinson , the offseason began with an international vacation in Japan. It’s there that the Arizona Cardinals defensive linemen had an endearing and wholesome interaction with a Japanese street photographer that has gone viral on social media.
The one minute and 26-second video originally posted to TikTok on Friday begins with a Japanese content creator that goes by “Kunie,” approaching Collier and Tomlinson while they were sitting on a bench in middle of a busy Japanese street. Kunie politely asks the hulking NFL players whether they speak English and then goes about explaining he wants to take their photos.
It’s clear by the video that the photographer has no idea he’s speaking to a pair of NFL players, shaking hands as he introduces himself and learns their first names. Kunie then exchanges pleasantries like he would with any other Japanese tourist, including asking where they’re from.
