Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase thinking up new touchdown celebration

Tee Higgins and Ja Marr Chase are developing a new touchdown celebration following a fine from the NFL for their "People's Elbow" gesture. The duo disclosed the fine during an appearance on the Up & Adams Show. Higgins confirmed the celebration will likely be retired, stating it was only inspired by a wrestling move popularized by The Rock.

He added that online speculation led to misunderstandings about the gesture's meaning. Higgins explained, "I'm a fan of WWE, the people's elbow, and we just threw in a first-down celebration with it." Chase, meanwhile, likened the celebration to a wrestling move and expressed his desire for clearer guidelines from the NFL regarding player celebrations.

Chase stated that he would consider appealing the fine, believing that players need a superstar in the NFLPA to advocate for their rights.
