Look: NFL players celebrate Fourth of July in weird ways

Christopher Hanewinckel / USA TODAY Sports

On July Fourth, NFL players' social feeds are usually filled with pics and vids of fireworks, food, and vacations.

Not this year.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was grilling what can only be described as some strange-looking buns.

Jacksonville Jaguars star Leonard Fournette flew across the pond to take in Wimbledon ...

... then found some steps to sit on.

Rookie Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice was at the catfish market with some luxury cars.

Fellow rook Calvin Ridley chose the holiday as the best occasion to sign his contract with the Atlanta Falcons.

And a couple of players showed they take no days off, with Robert Griffin III going through drills ...

... and Chicago Bears guard Kyle Long hucking medicine balls.

Thankfully, we've always got Drew Brees to bring us a quintessentially American post from his family outing.

Happy 4th of July. God Bless America!

And retired vet James Harrison was preparing what was surely a meal for one.
