NFL pre-season is typically a time for rookies and free agents to try and battle it out for a spot on a team's final 53-man roster, but usually that is not something that specialist positions such as kicker and punter have to worry about, so you could forgive them for taking it easy.

But don't tell that to Cincinnati Bengals punter Kevin Huber, as in his team's pre-season game with the Washington Redskins on Sunday, he pulled out an absolutely mesmerising bit of ball-handling to avoid the sack... Only to be smashed seconds later.

Still, fair play to him for trying to keep the play alive after a broken blocking assignment, and the bit of magic was so good it went viral over in the states as he made two defenders miss badly.

Just a shame about the third guy.

Punters rarely get their highlights shown any love, so hats off to Kevin Huber for that magical Brian O'Driscoll-esque moment.
