Watch The Lions Theo Riddick Juke His Way Past A Saints Player [Video]

It isn't often a Detroit Lions player gets national attention, but Theo Riddick is the king of the internet today after he threw a fake at Saints linebacker Donnell Ellerbe, and left him in the dust.

It was a move Barry Sanders would have been proud of.

It's been and up and down season for the Lions' offense, but last night they got back on track, putting up 35 points against the equally hapless New Orleans Saints. But the play the internet is talking about today is the juke move Theo Riddick put on Donnell Ellerbe, throwing a fake and leaving the linebacker behind.

The slow motion version of this posted on this Vine feed is a beautiful study in how athletic NFL players are. Not only does Riddick shift gers faster than a Porsche accelerating on the Autobahn, Ellerbe recovers from a near fall with amazing dexterity, and gets back in the chase for Riddick quickly. Wow. Just wow.

The move was so impressive, the League itself posted it on their Twitter feed.
