First Down celebrations in college and pros
A slight redirect of this thread…

Can anyone explain a common football gesture/celebration?

The gesture, as best I can describe it, is that a player appears to hold an imaginary oxygen mask up to their face while simultaneously holding up their other arm straight out and flapping their hand up and down at the wrist.


What the hell does it mean?

It's a zombie. Pretending to be a zombie.

Never in a million years would I have guessed “zombie.”

Does it mean the player being celebrated is unstoppable and unwilling to give up?

Haha.. I happened to catch an interview where they asked the Miami QB about the celebration. I think you are correct.. unstoppable, not even human, and relentless.
