Exhibit A in the Hakeem Nicks' highlight reel from his days from 2006-08 as a Tar Heel receiver would certainly be his behind-the-back snare in the 2008 Belk Bowl against West Virginia.
Nicks ran a shallow crossing route from the Mountaineer 40-yard-line in the third quarter when quarterback T.J. Yates' pass was well behind his target. Nicks spun his body to his left, reached behind him with his left arm, cradled and then balanced the ball on the underside of his buttocks, completed his 360-degree spin, transferred the ball to his right hand and took off around the left flank.
