Even in what’s been a particularly disappointing season for Carolina Panthers receiver Robby Anderson, he hasn’t stopped being himself. So at least there’s that.
With his team down 32-6 during Sunday’s battering at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the sixth-year wideout spit in the face of convention and refused to hold back his pride. Anderson, regardless of that godforsaken score, put exclamation points on a pair of first-down receptions with some (admittedly hilarious) acts of defiance.

Those two grabs helped make up for a five-catch, 58-yard day for Anderson. And while it’s considered poor form to celebrate while staring down the barrel of a three-score deficit that late in the game, he’s probably had some pent up energy to let out in the midst of this lackluster campaign.
Plus, the 28-year-old is fresh off getting engaged just six days ago. So you can’t tell this man anything right now.

Congratulations, Robby and keep doing you.
