Cincinnati Bengals punter Kevin Huber pulls off behind-the-back move under pressure

It might only be pre-season but Cincinnati Bengals punter Kevin Huber has already caught the eye ahead of the regular season.
Huber was in action against the Washington Redskins on Sunday and after his teammates failed a blocking assignment he faced pressure from the onrushing Redskins only to showcase his incredible ball-handling skills.
With Redskins' rookie wide receiver Zach Pascal eyeing up a blocked punt, Huber managed to bring the ball back behind his back and evade Pascal in a well-timed manoeuvre.
Unfortunately for Huber he was almost immediately tackled, after initially managing to scramble around for a few yards, by Washington for an eight-yard loss which could have been far worse without his instinctive reactions under pressure.
The Redskins eventually came out on top 23-17 in the third week of NFL pre-season despite Huber's impressive move.
