Nakobe Dean's 'Choo-Choo' Celebration Soars as He Dominates Post-Injury Return

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean's "choo-choo" celebration is gaining traction among teammates as he's playing with renewed aggressiveness. After tearing his patellar tendon in the 2024 playoffs and undergoing lengthy rehab, Dean began the 2025 season on the PUP list. He was activated in Week 6 and made his defensive return in Week 7, where his signature celebration was born. In eight games since returning, Dean has recorded a career-high 4 sacks, 6 QB hits, 7 tackles for loss, 2 forced fumbles, and 53 tackles, surpassing his 2024 form.
