If you ever wanted to know if the hidden ball trick works on kickoffs, this is all the proof you need.
Concord's Darion Smith received the kickoff around the five-yard line. His teammates quickly surrounded him and formed a huddle as Oakland came running in to make a tackle. Then, all of a sudden, the football players spread out and LeAndre Jones took it down the sideline and into the end zone.
"[The] funny thing is Concord is considered one of those anti-special teams schools because we don't kick field goals, PATs," Concord assistant coach Manny Chavez said.
This one fooled Oakland completely and helped Concord earn a 56-16 victory that night.
Whether it's at the high school, college football, or NFL level, the hidden ball trick is always fun to watch across the United States. It can also be used in a baseball game when an infielder picks off a runner at first base, second base, or third base.
