Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner took over a McDonald’s drive-thru window in Renton on Tuesday, handing out complimentary cans of Red Bull to customers.

Barner acted as a McDonald’s employee for one hour at the 73 Rainier Avenue S location from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., according to a news release from Davis Elen.

The Super Bowl-winning tight end was also joined by Seahawks mascot Blitz and Alan Finkelstein, the President of the McDonald’s Western Washington Operators Association and local McDonald’s owner-operator.

Together, they announced that McDonald’s will be introducing a Seattle Seahawks Bobblehead Meal to its menu that will be available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner beginning at 5 a.m. on Sept. 9.

The meal includes McDonald’s fan favorites with a special Seahawks 12 Bobblehead figurine, while supplies last, at participating western Washington locations.
