Collin Dieunerst, 19, of East Orange, recently reached out to the chicken chain on social media saying, "I just want to talk business."

While the athlete became one of the first and most recognizable memes a decade ago, he has also made a name for himself on the football field.

In 2021, Dieunerst helped lead his high school team to the New Jersey state championship. He has since gone on to play for Lake Erie College as an offensive lineman.
