Explaining Deshaun Watson's 'wipe your nose' celebration

When Deshaun Watson makes a big play this season, the Texans quarterback often celebrates with a gesture that looks like he's wiping his nose.

It's something he's done from the first week of the season, and his receivers usually join him in the celebration after a touchdown catch. After a big first-down run, Watson usually makes the sign and turns the wiping the nose gesture into a first-down signal.

It's something Watson and his teammates picked up from Atlanta rapper Young Thug, who often raps about "wiping noses," and it's up to interpretation what the expressions means, but it definitely doesn't have anything to do with Kleenex.
