Which NFL touchdown celebration will join the Griddy in Fortnite?
Week 14 of the National Football League (NFL) season is already underway following the Detroit Lion's defeat of the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football. While the next few weeks are crucial, this week's games could be career-defining for players, especially those who play Fortnite. The popular Battle Royale's official account has confirmed the best NFL touchdown celebration from this week's slate will become a Fortnite Emote.
Fortnite will add one creative touchdown celebration to the game as an Emote
Several famous athletes have already seen their iconic moves turned into Fortnite Emotes. From LeBron James' "The Silencer" to Patrick Mahomes' "Showtime," the selection of celebrations spans several sports. Let's not forget the iconic Griddy, which, although it did not originate in sports, was made popular by NFL wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
When week 14 concludes, one lucky NFL player or team's creative touchdown celebration will be immortalized as a Fortnite Emote. The game's official X account, formerly known as Twitter, advised fans to drop any "fresh end zone celebrations" in a thread while tagging ESPN, Barstool Sports, and Bleacher Report.
It's unclear how Epic Games will handle the selection process, but it could come down to a fan vote between a few of the most creative touchdown celebrations. There have been some legendary celebrations in the 2024-2025 season, including Lions running back David Montgomery's ode to Disney.

The long-running partnership between Fortnite and the NFL dates back to 2018 when the OG football uniform skins were released. Players could purchase one of seven Outfits alongside various other cosmetics and customize them with whichever team they'd like. Fortnite also added the "Spike It" Emote, a typical NFL touchdown celebration.
Since then, Fortnite and the NFL have remained frequent collaborators. This crossover led to the addition of the Griddy Emote, Patrick Mahomes Icon Series skin, and more.
