We won’t know the contents until the video is released, but based on Antonio Brown’s thrusting penalties from 2016, we have a pretty good idea where this is going. If you’re an NFL player who can’t wait for the video, we have a few helpful guidelines with easy-to-follow visuals that can help you.
Congratulating a teammate on a touchdown: GOOD CELEBRATION.
