An NFL player has brought one of social media's latest dance trends onto the football field after celebrating a touchdown with the "Rumpelstiltskin Tip Toein' In My Jordans" meme that's been sweeping the internet lately.

The brief celebration featured several players joining in on the choreography, connecting the popular internet meme with a major sporting event. Footage of the moment quickly went viral, accumulating millions of views across social media in just a day.

The player behind the celebration was Bhayshul Tuten, a running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tuten joined the Jaguars after being selected with the 104th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, beginning his professional career following his time playing college football.

The celebration occurred during a recent game against the Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium in London, where Tuten scored a touchdown in the second quarter.

Following the play, he and several of his teammates briefly performed the dance associated with the viral "Tip Toein' In My Jordans" meme, which has been circulating widely on social media in a bizarre combo of rapper Riff Raff's song "Tip Toe Wing In My Jawwdinz" and a creepy AI-generated video of Rumpelstiltskin dancing in some fancy shoes..

The unexpected crossover between the internet trend and professional football helped the touchdown celebration attract widespread attention online in the last couple of days.

The clip itself, which is only a few seconds long, starts by following Tuten as he runs after scoring a touchdown. His teammates are then seen running towards him to celebrate the victory together.

As his teammates arrive, Tuten quickly turns toward the camera, and they all do a shushing gesture, bringing a finger to their lips through their helmets just as Rumpelstiltskin does in the meme.

Immediately after, they back away slightly, extend their arms in a T-posture, bending their elbows and wrists and hunching over slightly. Then, they stick out their feet, putting one foot up and then the other, to the unheard rhythm of Riff Raff's 2014 song.

Then, one of Tuten's teammates gives him a high-five, and they all run away from the camera.

As touched on earlier, this dance originates from a massively viral AI-generated video originally shared by three Instagram accounts in collaboration back in August 2026.

The video shows a crying blonde woman in a barn, who gasps and backs away when she sees a short, elf-like person that's meant to be the folklore character Rumplestinskin. He brings a finger to his lips, smiles and pets her hair.

Next, Rumpelstiltskin backs away and then does the now-viral dance, extending his arms and sticking out his feet. He then turns all the hay in the barn into gold, and the princess stands up, claps and kisses him, which turns him into a tall, handsome prince.

Though the video looks like it was taken from an '80s fantasy film, it's purely AI, but that hasn't stopped it from becoming one of the biggest memes of the year over the last couple of weeks.

In October 2026, Twitter / X user @itsjusttimbro posted a short version of the video, clipping the original AI-generated video from the moment that Rumplestinskin approaches the princess and brings his finger to his lips to the moment where he dances, repeating the dance several times.

But what made this tweet stand out from other memes about the AI video is that @itsjusttimbro removed the video’s original audio and replaced it with a part of the song "TIP TOE WING IN MY JAWWDINZ" by Riff Raff.

The tweet has since spread widely across the internet, garnering over 18.8 million views in less than a month.



Since Tuten and his teammates’ rendition of the now-viral dance, many Twitter and Reddit accounts have been uploading videos of their celebration side-by-side with the original viral video.

A user also posted an AI-modified version of the Rumplestinskin video which featured Tuten in Rumplestinskin’s place, while others posted GIFs from the original video.
