Da'Ron Payne had actually caught a touchdown pass once before.
In as a tight end in Shades Valley High School's old "elephant package," Payne pulled in a touchdown during a 2014 win over Center Point.
It was the only time Payne had ever been thrown to in either a high school or college game. Until Monday night, when this 6-foot-2, 310-pound freak of an athlete made the second of two game-changing plays during Alabama's 24-6 Sugar Bowl win over Clemson.
Most defensive linemen will never catch a touchdown pass. And most will never post even a single interception.
