Florida State's game against Clemson was one of the most watched games on television in Week 4, ranking third in the country overall. FSU hadn't beaten Clemson since 2014, and for former players on both sides of the ball, it was an opportunity to take shots and place bets on what would eventually be a 31-24 overtime win over the Tigers.

Former Florida State and current New York Giants kicker Graham Gano took the opportunity to prank teammate Dexter Lawrence, who spent his college career in Death Valley before being selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. 

It appears Gano rigged Lawrence's locker to play the Florida State's War Chant every time it opens and recorded it, reminding him of their rivalry. Lawrence laughingly did the Tomahawk Chop in response to the prank while wearing an FSU hat.

Although the two never saw the field together in their college careers, they've been on the same team in New York for over two years, and the friendly jab only speaks to the locker-room shenanigans that can unfold throughout a season. 

Gano won the Lou Groza Award in 2008 and was first in the country in field goals made. He has been the NFL's most accurate kicker over the last six seasons, making 132-142 field goal attempts. Gano connected on a game-winning field goal to spark New York's comeback against Arizona in Week 2.

Lawrence has 228 career tackles in the NFL, with 16.5 sacks and four forced fumbles.
