Trae Young and [Chipotle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-8) have partnered for a new challenge on [TikTok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foryoupizza-challenge), inviting users to finish a 53 foot shot started by the NBA player himself. Young plays for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and is known for his long-distancing shooting abilities.

The video begins with Young speaking about the 53 real ingredients that go into Chipotle's food. Then, using a tape measurer, 53 feet are measured across the court's floor. The basketball star then shoots his shot, but before we can see if he connects with the net, he looks to the camera to challenge [TikTokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-social-stars-influenced-menu) to duet him to finish the video.

10 winners will be randomly selected to win 53 free burritos and NBA tickets.
