Jon Gruden has a bag of tricks? And he went into it?
Yep! On the Raiders' opening drive on Sunday against the Chargers, Derek Carr threw incomplete to tight end Jared Cook, setting up a 4th and 4 from their own 37-yard line. Rookie punter Johnny Townsend came onto the field.
What happened next shocked everyone watching.
Townsend took the snap and ran down the left sideline. By the time he went out of bounds, he had scampered 42 yards for a Raiders first down.
Townsend also got recruited out of HS (by Ivy League schools) as a safety.
