Why Auburn has used a seatbelt to celebrate turnovers. It all turns back to a celebration for Auburn's defensive backs.
So this is Auburn’s version of the turnover chain — something first popularized by the Miami football team.The seatbelt is the physical manifestation of a celebration used by many members of Auburn’s secondary when they make a good play: mimicking buckling a seatbelt.
“It basically means you strap up, you’re strapping up a receiver,” Simpson said. “You just call it a seatbelt and you do the little seatbelt thing. I took it upon myself, everyone has their turnover chains, so I went and bought an actual seatbelt.” Simpson went to AutoZone, cornerback Keionte Scott said, but didn’t find a seatbelt. Instead, Simpson said he ordered two seatbelts from Amazon.
They’re pretty cheap, too. A set of two which look similar to the one Simpson got goes for under $25. Simpson is one of Auburn’s most charismatic players. After his 50-yard interception return for a touchdown that earned him his own seatbelt in the first place, he ran over to the sideline for a dance he’d planned with Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze.My favorite rapper is YoungBoy, NBA YoungBoy,” Simpson said after the UMass game. “And he’s got this little dance that he did in his videos. Coach Freeze told us, ‘Don’t celebrate in the end zone.’ I kind of forgot about that.
