ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Robert Mathis had watched his new teammate on YouTube and couldn’t turn away. He cracked up. By the time defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois arrived in Indianapolis from the San Francisco 49ers in 2013, Mathis knew all about the dance.
Mathis watched it multiple times, the gyrating movement that is Jean Francois’ sack dance, “Peanut Butter Jelly Time,” arms and core muscles moving everywhere in synchronicity. He needed to see it live.
