The Ickey Shuffle was a touchdown celebration performed by National Football League (NFL) fullback Elbert "Ickey" Woods, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals. After scoring a touchdown, Woods would shuffle his feet to the right and hold the football out to the right, shuffle his feet to the left and hold the football out to the left, and finally finish by doing three hops to the right and spiking the football into the ground. Woods performed this polished official version of the dance for the first time during the 1988 Cincinnati Bengal's season, after scoring against the New York Jets on October 10, 1988. The move led to the NFL creating a rule designating it (and similar moves by other players) as "Excessive Celebration" and subject to penalty against the player's team.The dance was in

  • The Ickey Shuffle was a touchdown celebration performed by National Football League (NFL) fullback Elbert "Ickey" Woods, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals. After scoring a touchdown, Woods would shuffle his feet to the right and hold the football out to the right, shuffle his feet to the left and hold the football out to the left, and finally finish by doing three hops to the right and spiking the football into the ground. Woods performed this polished official version of the dance for the first time during the 1988 Cincinnati Bengal's season, after scoring against the New York Jets on October 10, 1988. The move led to the NFL creating a rule designating it (and similar moves by other players) as "Excessive Celebration" and subject to penalty against the player's team.The dance was in danger of being prohibited by NFL rules concerning planned celebrations, but after investigation, was not banned. Since Woods' playing days, the dance has made multiple appearances in mainstream media including a GEICO commercial, in which Woods himself performs the dance. In addition, the dance is featured in an episode of the comedy sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Woods stated that most of the money he has earned as a product of the Ickey Shuffle's popularity, including his earnings from the GEICO commercial, has ultimately gone towards his foundation that is dedicated to raising money for asthma research, the Jovante Woods Foundation. Darrell Waltrip performed the dance while celebrating his 1989 Daytona 500 win in victory lane. The "Ickey Shuffle" has also been adopted as the name for a common speed and agility drill that utilizes a similar kind of lateral rhythmic stepping, somewhat derivative of the famous dance itself.
