Ickey Shuffle

The Ickey Shuffle was a touchdown celebration done by former National Football League (NFL) fullback Elbert "Ickey" Woods of the Cincinnati Bengals after he would score a touchdown. Woods would shuffle his feet to the right and hold the football out to the right, shuffle his feet to the left and hold the football out to the left, and finally finish by doing three hops to the right and spiking the football into the ground. The move led to the NFL creating a rule designating it (and similar moves by other players) as "Excessive Celebration" and subject to penalty against the player's team.^[1] The dance was in danger of being prohibited by NFL rules concerning planned celebrations, but after investigation, was not banned.^[2]
