Alabama football’s junior wide receiver, John Metchie has started a movement with his karate-influenced celebration.
Not only are his fellow teammates getting involved in the fun, but opposing players are using the celebration to mock the Crimson Tide. Other University of Alabama athletes have also joined the trend and so have former Alabama football players. Quinnen Williams recently did the celebration after he made a big play for the New York Jets.
