When New Orleans Saints cornerback Jason David picked off a pass on Monday against the Green Bay Packers, this is how he celebrated:

That dance, as Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk noted, looks like the Crip Walk, a dance that was originally associated with the Crips street gang.

That could be a problem for David, as the NFL specifically stated during the season that it would be on the lookout for players using gang signs on the field. But David says he wasn't doing the Crip Walk.

From the New Orleans Times-Picayune:
David said the dance was something he's done since his days as youth and is not gang-related. He added that he has not heard from the NFL about the situation either.
Given the way NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has cracked down on dancing this year, it's entirely possible that David could face league discipline -- whether the NFL thinks his dance was the Crip Walk or not.
