Camryn ‘Cam’ Bynum hinted at it before. Regardless, the 26-year-old NFL safety has already made his name for his celebration game. In match after match, he gave the Vikings’ fans something to cheer for by his performance. And in his celebration game, he teased them while leaving the room to predict what would come next. However, in October, The Insider show asked questions regarding it. After all, the host had the same interest in Bynum’s celebration game. At that moment, he disclosed it to the newer generation. He came with Phineas and Ferb’s one later. Now, it seems like he is still following the trend.
On November 10, the Minnesota Vikings locked horns with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The game didn’t cause much trouble for Cam Bynum’s squad. In the end, the Vikings took the victory away with a 12-7 scoreline. Nonetheless, something surprising happened in the game. Bynum had already been expected to continue his streak of following the newer generation. So, keeping the same line, this time, he dropped something directly from the Paris Olympics. Not only that, the celebration game came from the newest inclusion sport in the Games, breakdancing. But Cam served it cold, this time adding a twist.
In the final two minutes of the Sunday night game, Cam Bynum intercepted Mac Jones, the Jaguars’ quarterback. The move came as the death knell in Jacksonville’s hope to snag the victory. Meanwhile, the emotion resulted in Bynum’s exceptional celebration game, copying Raygun’s breakdancing moves. However, the moves have had a long history of their own. But it seems like the steps impressed a few NFL fans.

Later, after the low-score slugfest, one such fan put something in the comment box of The Penitent Squirrel. Notably, the X-handle of The Penitent Squirrel had already shared Cam Bynum’s celebration clip from the game. Nonetheless, the comment read, “Best celebration dance of the year omfg.” Guess what Bynum did? He just put the same moves to life that are still eyesore to a huge fanbase. Well, that has been Rachael Gunn aka Raygun’s superpower. Hard to follow? Let me clear the air for you.
In the Paris Olympics, Rachael Gunn, aka Raygun, entered as a contestant in the breakdancing event. She had qualifications and expectations to support her in the grandest contest. However, her much-maligned dance moves in the preliminary stage failed to impress the judges. They handed her zero scores. That indicates her dance steps were not noteworthy compared to other contestants. So she had to face the axe of elimination. But in the meantime, something unbelievable happened.
Raygun’s viral dance steps from the Paris Olympics made a place in pop culture. A huge chunk of fans criticized her dance steps, attire, attitude, and everything. But in the middle of this, her dance moves kept making inroads. Want an example? A few weeks ago, Mondo Duplantis’s fiancée posed in the same style, just like Raygun’s avatar in the Paris Olympics. To put a cherry on top, Desire Inglander, Mondo’s fiancée, copied Rachael’s ‘Kangaroo hoop’ step into her pose. Yet, debates may still brew on the occasion of Desire’s pose.

Yes, she did it while celebrating Halloween. But the message is clear: the world has yet to get over the Raygun fever. Last night, Cam Bynum followed the same line. He claimed himself “a big fan” of the Aussie breakdancer and admitted he had fun while doing the same steps that Gunn did three months ago. Meanwhile, the fans also had their moments of watching all the fun. On X, they just let their emotions out.
Cam Bynum earns an Olympic nomination from the fans
After her journey in the Paris Olympics, Raygun faced harrowing situations just because of the netizens’ rage. A large share of it questioned her qualifications and even chased her personal life. However, such a harsh attack made the 37-year-old decide on her future career. Nonetheless, Cam Bynum hasn’t had to face anything such till now for emulating the dance moves. Rather, he has received flowers from the NFL fans. A proof? Someone from the NFL fan base put on X, “This was worth sitting through that game for.”
Undoubtedly, the fans shouted out to Bynum’s celebration game. Moreover, he/she kept it above the game between the Vikings and the Jaguars. Had that game been a dead rubber? Certainly not. Still, the fans claimed the moves to be the catch of the day. Someone went a few steps ahead and claimed something big.
This time the comment read, “Cam Bynum 2028 Olympic hopeful.” After three months of the event at the Paris Olympics, did Bynum do something better than Raygun last night? Some NFL fans think he did. That’s why they prefer to watch the NFL safety four years later, at the LA Olympics. According to them, if Raygun could qualify, then why Bynum wouldn’t? He has some skills, though. But folks, fret not. Someone already imagined the outcome.

In the comment box, a fan chimed in, “And the cringe goes on… This guy actually deserves a Gold medal.” That indicates Bynum did better than Raygun. But remember what the NFL athlete said in the post-match conversation: “I can clown like she did. It didn’t take too much effort.” Does that make his chance brighter for the LA Olympics? But in the crowd of NFL fans, someone came out to be Raygun’s follower.
In the comment box, that fan penned, “Raygun dance now an NFL celebration.” It can be a sign of amazement or wonder. No one knows. Regardless, last night’s game made Cam Bynum admit his fandom over the viral Australian breakdancer. So would there be any more such moves in his celebration game? What do you think about this?
