Fox had cartoon astronaut Josh Dobbs rocket through NFL cities in a delightfully weird graphic

Josh Dobbs to the moon? Literally???

Josh Dobbs has been one of the NFL’s better stories in 2023.

For many, it’s impossible to root against a career journeyman who won his first game with the Minnesota Vikings after less than five days with the team. If you’ve paid attention to Dobbs’ recent ascent, you’ll also note how often it’s referenced that he’s literally an astronaut who has worked for NASA in the past.

As Dobbs’ Vikings took on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Fox made light of his impressive background and how he’s hopped all over the NFL landscape lately. How? The network unveiled a perfectly weird graphic featuring Dobbs as a cartoon astronaut who rode a rocket to all the teams and places he’s been in since December 2022.

I simply can’t get enough of this, and I’m so happy someone gave it the green light:

Ok, this Josh Dobbs graphic is great pic.twitter.com/Xrwb1je9Fc

This is what television graphics during pro football games should resemble.

You want that perfect mix of bizarre and silly while paying homage to an awesome story like Dobbs. This hit all the right chords for someone who traded his astronaut helmet in for a football helmet.
