NFL Star Larry English -- Dinner Date with Smokin' Hot Lingerie Model

Soooo ... it's good to be San Diego Chargers linebacker Larry English ... 'cause he's dating a RIDICULOUSLY attractive lingerie model ... and TMZ Sports has the footage and some SUPER hot pics.

Larry's lady is Nicole Williams -- a professional model who famously teased Robin Thicke in a sexy photo shoot for Treats! magazine. She's also posed in her undies for the La Senza lingerie website.

When we saw the two of them out for dinner at Madeo in L.A. this weekend, our photog thought she was a Victoria's Secret model.

She's not ... but you gotta check out some of her photos. It's not out of the question ...
