It’s not often you see a 340-pound man intercept a pass but that’s what happened Saturday in West Lafayette.

Nebraska nose guard Darrion Daniels got the opportunity of a lifetime against Purdue as the hulking lineman picked off a shovel pass and nearly scored a touchdown for the Cornhuskers.

You have to feel for the young man coming up just short but at least you made a terrific play on the ball and managed to show off his nimble feet in the process. Who knows, after seeing this play on tape, Scott Frost may allow Daniels to play some offense in Lincoln.

Check out the play below:
