Watch: American footballer joins cheerleaders for halftime routine

By Will Stroude

Arizona Rattlers fans were in for a treat during a recent halftime show, after an American footballer joined the squad’s cheerleaders for an incredible routine.

A video of the performance, which has gone viral since being posted online earlier this week, sees the player throw some seriously sharp shapes – including twerking and even a full splits – to the delight of the cheering crowd.

Despite being dressed in the squad’s kit and full padding, eagle-eyes fans noticed that the number on his shirt – 75 – isn’t part of the team’s official line-up.

Yep, it turns out that the mystery man was in fact a professional dancer called Oscar Hernandez, who’s worked with hip-hop stars like Flo-Rida, Busta Rhymes and T-Pain in the past. Even so, this hilariously on-point performance is giving us life on this grey Thursday morning. Check it out below:
