Are you ready to feel old?<\/p>\n

Or, at least older than you already do?<\/p>\n

In 2013, a video went viral<\/a> on Vine \u2014 and yes thinking of the now-defunct Vine might be enough to make you feel old \u2014 of a young boy in line at a Popeye\u2019s, reacting with some side-eye as a stranger filmed him in line. You have probably seen the video thousands of times, if not more, as it lives on as a meme as well as a reaction gif on all corners of the internet. <\/p>\n

Well, the young man in question is a bit older now.<\/p>\n

And he just finished his freshman year of college football.<\/p>\n

Dieunerst Collin is that young man, he put together an impressive resume during his high school playing days. Collin was a First Team All-Conference, All-County, and All-Division selection in just his one year as a letter-winner. He also participated on East Orange High School\u2019s track and field team. After winning a New Jersey state championship<\/a> back in 2021 with, Collin enrolled at Lake Erie College<\/a>, a Division II program.<\/p>\n

Now that he is in college, something else should follow.<\/p>\n

An NIL deal from Popeyes:<\/p>\n

After all, Collin brought a lot of attention to Popeyes over the years, and it is the least the restaurant chain can do for him.<\/p>\n

For his part, Collin is ready to talk business:<\/p>\n

Popeyes, it is time to do right by Collin. <\/p>\n

Perhaps Collin\u2019s time in college will set him on a path to NFL stardom. But if not, he certainly seems to have a life planned for his post-football days. According to his bio on the Lake Erie website, Collin is majoring in Sports Management, with a minor in Comedian Studies.<\/p>\n

He is also pursuing a career as a sports analyst.<\/p>\n

So before we hire him at SB Nation after he graduates, it is time for Popeyes to do the right thing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
