Think Stephen Paea is ready for the season to start?
In the middle of his photo shoot today, the defensive lineman, with proud Tongan roots, broke out into "The Haka," a traditional New Zealand tribal war dance.
The dance has been a tradition since 1888, started by the New Zealand football team that has since been carried on by the rugby squad, the All-Blacks, which Paea dreamed about playing for at a young age.
Paea has since taken the dance to the football field, leading on-field pregame hype huddles. You can already imagine what Sundays will sound like with his voice yelling throughout FedExField.
Here's Paea doing a full version of the dance.
