Some rookies can look like veterans when they get into the end zone. Joseph Fauria is one of those guys.
The Lions rookie tight end caught a touchdown in Week 1, so he’s been there done that before, and he celebrated like it, too. Fauria caught his second career touchdown pass on Sunday and capped the five-yard score off with a tribute to presumably his favorite boy band growing up.
After the catch, Fauria gave the ball a Rob Gronkowski-esque spike before busting out some killer dance moves with his own personal rendition of NSYNC’s “Bye, Bye. Bye.” The undrafted rookie wasn’t guaranteed a roster spot by any means entering this season, but it seems he knew just what he’d do if he ever got into the end zone.
