LaMarr Woodley’s Sack Dance Was An Ode To Former Steelers Great Joey Porter

Throughout his career in the NFL, featuring stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals, outside linebacker Joey Porter always found a way to get to the quarterback and was able to ring up 98.0 career sacks across 13 seasons.

When he’d get to the quarterback, Porter would always make a show of it, too, doing his iconic butt-kicking post-sack celebration. That move has been imitated over the years by other Steelers’ outside linebackers, including T.J. Watt, and even his son, current Steelers’ cornerback Joey Porter Jr.

Heck, Porter even returned to the North Shore ahead of the Week 8 Monday Night Football matchup with the New York Giants to lead the Terrible Towel Twirl pre-game and hit the iconic kick.
