As he got up from the ground, he did the Trump-inspired move in the end zone. Trump was seen on the campaign trail dancing to the music played at his events. It turned into a popular meme across the incident in the weeks before the election.
“@realDonaldTrump thanks for the dance move,” he wrote on X.
Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election on Tuesday night.

The wide receiver’s Trump move was just the latest show of support for the Republican presidential candidate in sports in recent weeks.
Texas Tech kicker Reese Burkhardt showed a Trump message underneath his jersey after he scored on a trick-play touchdown. Then, San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa flashed a “Make America Great Again” hat on the NBC broadcast. Bosa was fined for the stunt.
Radocha has 43 catches for 488 yards this season and three touchdowns.
