Dolphins WR says he ‘needs a break’ from his signature touchdown dance

When Jaylen Waddle scored a touchdown Sunday against the New England Patriots, he changed up his usual celebration.

Instead of his signature penguin waddle, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver busted out a much different touchdown dance.

After the game, Waddle told reporters that they probably won’t see his waddle any time soon.

“It was getting like out of hand,” Waddle said. “When I go out in public, people be trying to tell me to do it, so it’s just like, eh. … I don’t know if [I’m] retiring [it]. I don’t know. I don’t know if it’s retiring. It needs a break for a little minute.”

But even though Waddle isn’t doing the dance anymore, he doesn’t mind that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was doing it in the owner’s box Sunday.

“Mr. Ross be hitting it, though,” Waddle said. “He be hitting it.”

Waddle finished Sunday with eight receptions for 144 yards — the second highest yardage total of his career.
