Cardinals defensive linemen show up on Japanese social media account

L.J. Collier had talked about taking a trip to Japan,with his love of animeand other interests, and thanks to social media, a Japanese Tick Toker and a chance encounter on the street, we got a taste of that trip.

Collier and fellow Cardinals defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson -- whose combined 600 or so pounds is quite the sight on the streets of Japan -- were seen by a social media poster who calls himself Kunie. Kunie documented the encounter on video, also asking to take photos of the veterans.

This is the time for players to decompress. The search for a new Cardinals coach could impact their futures in Arizona but the guess is that they aren't thinking a lot about it as they check outthe area of Narutoand wherever else their travels might take them.

Regardless, Collier and Tomlinson are great ambassadors for the Bird Gang, officially or not.
