The New Orleans Saints have a newfound swagger under their new coach. Darren Rizzi is an emotional, but stern, voice that is leading this team after their firing of Dennis Allen.
His recent comments about one of the most beloved current pop culture topics and characters took off this week after Rizzi got his first victor as the Saints head coach against the Atlanta Falcons.
Rizzi addresses The Rizzler
The Saints' new head coach wants to see the viral sensation at a game for his team. He deserves extra respect for his attempt here.
The Rizzler is a seven-year-old named Christian from New Jersey who went viral in 2023 for his spunky personality (with his parents’ supervision, ofc). Things really popped off when his dad captured a video of Christian essentially getting the zoomies in a Black Panther costume. Since then, he’s made a name for himself using one-liners and a funny face that the kids qualify as rizz (which is short for charisma, come on, catch up). Hence, Christian earned the tongue-in-cheek nickname: The Rizzler.

Rizzi clearly knows who The Rizzler is, and his players have already been celebrating "Rizzmas" in the locker room with commemorative shirts and excitement for the fake holiday to celebrate their new leader.
Pat McAfee said that they cannot help him track down the social media sensation, but New Orleans' coach seems determined to get the young man to a game during this season.
It would be an awesome spectacle, honestly. Let's see if they find a route for it to happen this season.
