He then hopped up to receive a lateral and took the football to near midfield, only for a holding call bringing the ball back to the TCU 30-yard line.
The play which is now being termed the Riley Cooper, almost resulted in a touchdown in a game involving the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012 when trailing 28-13 late in the third quarter a kick return found its way to Cooper who returned it all the way for a touchdown, having been hiding in the end zone before it all started.
Unfortunately though Cooper had received a forward pass, having caught the ball in front of the spot where it was passed to him – so all of that was for nothing really.
It still hasn’t stopped others from taking inspiration, watch the play in full below:
