"But on Sunday, after breaking Newton's franchise record for most passing yards in a single game in a 30-27 overtime victory at Atlanta with 448 yards, Young did a very Newton-like thing. He dabbed. Newton popularized the move, which originated in his hometown of Atlanta with the rapper Skippa Da Flippa and the group Migos, during Carolina's 2015 run to the Super Bowl and his run to the NFL MVP Award."
"Newton obviously appreciated it. He posted a video of Young dancing and dabbing on his "4th and 1 with Cam Newton'' show X account, flashing his big smile as a stamp of approval the entire time. "I didn't see the video, but I very much appreciate that," Young said when asked if his dab was to honor Newton. "They were playing the Migos song, so that's where that came from.""
