SAN DIEGO -- One of the newest members of the San Diego Chargers, defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, has found a new home for the belly roll.
Mebane created the sack dance while with the Seattle Seahawks, where he spent his first nine seasons in the NFL, winning the franchise’s first Super Bowl at the end of the 2013 season.
During an introductory news conference at Chargers Park this week, Mebane said we have MC Hammer to thank for his unique sack dance.
"At the time the only rapper my parents allowed us to listen to was MC Hammer," said Mebane, a Los Angeles native who attended Crenshaw High School.
