Another woman even posed for a photo with the nine-year NFL veteran.
Collins made his fortune with a local street vendor outside the store on a cold Bay Area night.
Through 11 games this season, Collins has registered 25 tackles, including 14 solo and three for loss, in addition to eight quarterback hits and four sacks.
Collins looks to keep the positive vibes going for the faithful as the 49ers prepare to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at Highmark Stadium.
