Dan Connolly's insane kickoff return from 2010 is still amazing to watch

Dan Connolly’s incredible kickoff return for the New England Patriots against the Green Bay Packers remains one of the funniest moments in NFL history.

Life can sometimes be a little bit tedious as an offensive lineman, stood on the line of scrimmage, getting thumped on pretty much every play and not getti g to touc the ball unless you have to dive on a fumble by a teammate. 

There might be the odd occasion where those with good enough hands can find themselves in a ‘tackle eligible’ play where they can trick the opposing defence, come out of nowhere and catch the ball, but even then those aren’t exactly commonplace in the league. 

So when you get your chance in the spotlight, it’s pretty imperative that you take your opportunity and run with it, and that’s exactly what Connolly did for the Patriots against the Packers back in 2010.

Kickoffs are arguably one of the more exciting plays in football whenever someone brings it back for a big return, but for a big return you tend to have someone small and quick that can evade tacklers with ease, which is how guys like Devin Hester managed to make a career out of it:
