Aussie breakdancer Raygun’s infamous performance at the Paris Olympics may have been over three months ago, but it still lives in the mind of some, including NFL players.

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cam Bynum registered the play of the game during his side’s 12-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Bynum intercepted Jags quarterback Mac Jones inside the final two minutes to seal a Vikings win.

To celebrate, Bynum did his best Raygun impression, following some of the Aussie’s Paris Olympic controversial routine in front of the Jaguars crowd.

Bynum is well-known around the NFL for his celebration game, but he might have outdone himself against the Vikings.

He paid homage to his celebration inspiration when talking to reporters post-game.

“I’m a big fan. She went out there and had fun and that’s what I do on the field,” he said.

“I’ve been saving for that and it’s been a while since I did a celly (celebration).”

Bynum admits he has three celebrations ready per game in case he has “a three turnover game”, but was keen to unveil his ‘Raygun’ one.

“It’s been a few weeks (preparation). I can clown like she did. It didn’t take too much effort.”

Reaction to the celebration on social media was unanimously positive.
