Former BYU Cougars linebacker and current Cleveland Browns linebacker Sione Takitaki found the brand partnership to be a perfect fit for his last name.
Sione TakiTaki Collaborates with Takis Brand
In 2018, DJ Snake released the song “Taki Taki” six months before Taki Taki entered the NFL. It felt like a missed opportunity because a formal partnership with the linebacker never materialized.
Over five years later, some of that has been fixed thanks to Takis and his famous rolled tortilla chips.
In a series of social media posts, Taki Taki and his wife Alyssa announced their partnership with the snack brand.
Finally, Takis chips are the perfect snack for Takitakis.
