Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle got to perform his touchdown celebration "waddle" twice in Week 8, as he found paydirt on two occasions in the team's win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The next day, the former Alabama wideout was on a video call with a young fan who got the chance to show Waddle his own interpretation of the 23-year-old's move.

Dolphins win on Sunday, but the Waddling keeps going on Monday!

Waddle's two-score performance during the victory against Detroit snapped a five-week stretch where he hadn't landed in the end zone. The second-year pro has built on his big rookie campaign in year two thus far however, registering 42 catches for 727 yards and five touchdowns on 63 targets.

Waddle's receiving yards total have him ranked fourth in the NFL (teammate Tyreek Hill is first), his five touchdowns place him tied for third in the league and his 42 receptions tie him for 10th. He's had four games of 100-plus receiving yards already this year as well.

Miami will travel to face the Chicago Bears at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
