Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II was asked by sideline reporter Joe Danneman during the third quarter of their first NFL preseason game against the Detroit Lions about his intention to do his first "Sexy Dexy" sack dance as a Bengal during the team's NFL Week 1 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"That's the plan, that's the plan," Lawrence said. "Saving it for showtime."
Danneman asked Lawrence how often fans request the dance from him.
"Every time I see them," Lawrence joked. "Every time."
"Every day I just want to bring joy," Lawrence continued. "I love playing football. I love doing this. I love being out here with the guys and competing. Why not? Why not have joy? That's how we're supposed to live."
Lawrence did his
first public "Sexy Dexy" dance during the Bengals' NFL draft party April 23, four days after Lawrence walked onto the field at Paycor Stadium for the first time as a Bengal.
