NFL host Kay Adams, known for her time on "Good Morning Football" and now hosting a daily show for FanDuel, is the latest sports personality to get roasted online. This time, it's for her attempt at the iconic Heisman Trophy pose, which fans are calling the worst ever.
The pose, famously struck by Desmond Howard and countless other Heisman winners, is a staple in college football culture. But Adams's version left a lot to be desired, and she knows it.
At Fanatics Fest, Adams posed with a football in her right hand and her left leg slightly raised, but the execution was off. Instead of looking like a legendary running back, she looked more like someone who just dropped their keys. She took to social media to own the moment, writing, "wanna see the worst heisman pose of all time? 🙋🏻♀️what was I trying to do here? i need to take a lap." She added, "thanks to @fanaticsfest for letting me yap with these absolute legends."
Fans were quick to pile on, but also to defend her. One fan pointed out, "Relax. You know who else had the ball in his right hand when doing the Heisman pose…Desmond Howard in 1991. The most famous Heisman pose in history, was technically incorrect." Another joked, "Drop the mic and do it 😂." Others chimed in with, "Brutal my friend but always entertaining," and "There's nothing this woman does that isn't hilarious." A particularly enthusiastic fan sent a barrage of heart emojis, showing that love still outweighs the laughs.
Adams's self-deprecating humor has long been a part of her appeal. She recently defended MetLife Stadium, but fans weren't buying it. Now, she's taking the heat for a pose that even she admits was a flop.
The Heisman pose is one of those things that looks easy but clearly isn't. Adams's attempt has sparked a debate about what constitutes a proper pose, with some arguing that even the most famous Heisman moment wasn't technically perfect. Still, for now, she's the internet's favorite punching bag — in a good way.
Maybe by the time the 2026 college football and NFL seasons roll around, she'll have mastered the pose. Until then, she'll be hosting her daily FanDuel show, probably with a few more jokes at her own expense.
