Since last season, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks has celebrated touchdown grabs, first downs and other big plays with a bow-and-arrow motion, a gesture he explained gives glory to God.
The speedster Cooks was at it again Sunday against the Oakland Raiders as he caught a 98-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees and, true to form, celebrated.
