Terrell Eldorado Owens, also known as T.O, has one of the best statistical careers for an NFL wide receiver. His combination of size, speed, and great hands make him one of the best wide receivers of all time. He is mostly known however for his on the field antics and his media personality. Terrell Owens played for four NFL teams and brought drama and chaos to each organization. T.O always wanted to be in the spotlight and required attention at all times. His personality was the reason that a talented receiver such as himself could not stay with a single organization. Football fans may not like Owens but they definitely know who he is and how he acted in between plays on the football field.
In the NFL, wide receivers tend to carry the ball into the end zone more frequently than any other position. This gives them more opportunities to celebrate their scoring plays. When it comes to celebrations, Terrell Owens is one of the best and most creative mind there is. In an NFL network list, he was rated number 2 for having the best touchdown celebrations.
His original celebrations include: the mocking of Ray Lewis, the thriller dance, the popcorn celebration, the pom-pom celebration, the midfield cowboy star celebration, and the sharpie celebration. These celebrations were not always allowed by the NFL but Terrell Owens did not care if he had to pay a fine or if his team had to take a penalty, he was going to do what he wanted regardless. Players these days are much less willing to do elaborate celebrations because the fines have increased and the referees are much less hesitant to throw a penalty flag. This makes the celebrations of T.O much more memorable.
