Carolina Panthers cornerback Leonard Johnson blitzed, and by the time Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer seemed to see him, he was halfway to the grass.
The Carolina Panthers cornerback untangled himself from Palmer, rolled, and sprang up into a half-crouch, gyrating, strutting and pumping his arms in celebration.
“Man, I’ve been working on that dance two years now,” he said, laughing. “I think it’s a 10. My hips was movin’, my legs was movin’…”
In the stands, dancing along in their seats with their daddy, were Johnson’s 1- and 2-year-old daughters, Parker and Paisley.
That sack was part of an eight-tackle performance in his first game action of the year after he sat out the spring and summer while recovering from Achilles surgery.
