When you have a 152kg teammate with the nickname "BBQ," splitting a dinner bill was always going to be a difficult minefield to negotiate.
Houston Texans rookie K.J. Dillon walked right into the ambush.
The 23-year-old safety was left to foot the bill at a team dinner that got a little out of hand.
Dillon was left staring at a check of $US16,255 (NZ$23,000) after a group dinner to celebrate the Texans' thrilling 21-20 comeback win over Jacksonville earlier this week.
With a 10 per cent tip for the service staff, Dillon is looking at a payment of around $18,000.
It was a truly happy occasion, right up until the bill got plonked in front of the West Virginia University product.
His teammates wolfed down $349.65 on sea bass with lobster and $105.90 for two servings of filet mignon.
Hennesy Paradis Imperial cognac was the beverage of choice - apparently. Between them, the group put away $7,700 of the rare cognac which can be bought in Australia for around $900 for a 700ml bottle.
Wow! Those Houston Texans can really get hungry... and thirsty. And rookie safety KJ Dillon got stuck with $16,000 dinner bill. pic.twitter.com/QhQD7ALMiu

In the case of the thirsty Texans players, Dillon ended up splurging $350 for each glass of the fancy hooch.
Buying 22 rounds of $350 drinks isn't the worst part of this story.
According to the punked NFL star's Twitter account, the cheapest meal on the ticket - a $12.95 Caesar salad - was the only thing Dillon ordered.
"Me lol," he said in response to a fan's question about which player ordered the salad.
He later deleted the Twitter exchanges.
I don't drink but what kinda sandwhich š¤ https://t.co/qqhB2Ggbyn

He also doesn't drink. For real.
"I don't even drink lol," he said before deleting his tweet with a picture of the ludicrous dinner bill.
It means Dillon was responsible for ordering 0.07 per cent of his group's total bill.
