Watch this TCU player camouflage into the end zone during a kick-off return

This running back brings some Bear Grylls philosophy to the field.

THIS TCU PLAYER certainly knows how to take advantage of his surroundings, hiding within the “O” in the end zone to collect a kick-off return entirely undetected.

Running back B.J. Catalon lay down in the middle of the “Frogs” word in the end zone, allowing him to hide from the Sooners defence.

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:

Some day this play will actually be run off without the team committing some sort of penalty.
