Green Bay Packers fan Brendan Hall sees star running back AJ Dillon’s takedown of Kenosha Kingfishers’ mascot, King Elvis, as a moment to remember.
“This might be the best hit @ajdillon7 has laid on a defender since I watched him in an ISL game literally carry a dude on his back the last 10 yards into the end zone on a long touchdown run,” Hall tweeted.
Fans looked on as the Packers’ star recently took down the beloved local mascot at a celebrity softball game.
CBSNews.com reports the longtime mascot for the Kenosha baseball club attended the game, where the rosters included Packers teammate Jordan Love. As part of the game’s festivities, King Elvis went against Dillon in an Oklahoma tackling drill.
The drill starts with two players laying down and then attempting to tackle each other at the whistle. With the video quickly going viral, Dillon’s handiwork ended with him taking King Elvis down so decisively that his head flew off as he fell to the ground.
While the legend of King Elvis quickly became more renown, TheAthletic.com reports the body inside the mascot proved to be a 150-pound college student who is interning for the baseball club.
Even after having the wind knocked out of him and feeling sore the next morning, the student mascot’s immediate concern was getting his head back on, so none of the kids in the audience saw King Elvis without his head.
