NFL players often get stopped for a quick picture opportunity by fans, but this past week, Minnesota Vikings‘ quarterback Kirk Cousins had a much different fan interaction then usual. On Wednesday in Holland Michigan, Hope College juniors Hannah Pearce and Breck McCloskey were on their way to campus gym for a workout when they walked past Cousins without realizing.

Pearce and McCloskey were searching for Kirk to provide extra credit. They found him leaving, but Pearce offered him a seat in their class, and Cousins agreed to help.
