Wait, what?
Come on now, there's at least a half of a demographic who doesn't know who Ickey Woods is but he will now be introduced to them via a Geico commercial.
Yes, Woods, a former flash-in-the-pan running back for the Cincinnati Bengals back in the late 1980's, became famous for his touchdown celebration.
