One of the funniest things to come out of Week 9 of the NFL was Kirk Cousins’ viral dancing video on the Minnesota Vikings‘ team plane following their victory over the Washington Commanders on Sunday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter decided to give his best impression of a shirtless Cousins on Monday Night Countdown.
While screaming Cousins’ catchphrase of “You like that?,” Schefter hilarious tried to imitate Cousins dancing awkwardly, which certainly got his co-hosts on the field laughing.
This moment was only made even more incredible witoffh Robert Griffin III’s commentary during the dancing.
“Oh my goodness, who knew Adam Schefter was hiding Chewbacca under his chest,” said Griffin.

While he didn’t pull the dance of nearly as smoothly as Cousins, many gave him credit for his efforts on social media.

The ESPN insider clearly doesn’t mind putting himself out there on live television, which is certainly commendable and made for a moment that will not soon be forgotten
Cousins has become increasingly more popular as of late due to this video, and Schefter will likely get the rub off of Cousins with this hilarious rendition.
Many have been extremely critical of Schefter in the past, putting his journalistic integrity into question after referring to former Washington Commanders general manager Bruce Allen as “Mr. Editor” before submitting a story on Washington’s e-mail saga.
While some may still not be a fan of Schefter, this video clearly shows that he has quite the on-camera personality.
