The Philadelphia Eagles posted a video on X on Monday, showing their players trying a funky challenge.
The players were told to run using the same arm and leg at the same time, instead of the usual opposite leg and arm.
All of the players looked silly while trying the challenge and descended into laughter around their teammates.
After seeing the video, Good Morning Football decided to give it a shot with Jamie Erdahl, Gbajabiamila, and Sherree Burruss.
