Scripps National Spelling Bee winner channels Dez Bryant in celebration
How do you celebrate being crowned co-champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee? If you're a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan like 11-year-old Nihar Janga, there's only one logical way.
While his fellow contestants opted for the dab, Janga threw up the "X" in homage to his hero, receiver Dez Bryant after he correctly spelled "gesellschaft.”
Bryant definitely appreciated the gesture and congratulated Janga on his win.
#NiharJanga you just made my whole day buddy.. Congrats on winning the #spellingbee champ.. Some how some way I have to get you to a game #x

Who knows, maybe Janga's championship will spark some good luck for Bryant and the Cowboys.
