DETROIT — Detroit Lions tight end Joseph Fauria has made a name for himself in the NFL with his touchdown celebrations during his rookie season.

He’s been touted for his moves by celebrities, and now he’s been chosen to demonstrate some of the more famous touchdown celebrations in football history.

Sports Illustrated had Fauria go through several different celebrations starting with the “vigorous handshake” and including the “Ickey Shuffle” and the “Dirty Bird.”

Fauria ends the segment in front of a green screen jokingly saying, “Oh (beep). I never have (beep) danced.” Check it out in the video below:
