Offensive linemen don't often get a whole lot of shine on the football field considering it's not exactly a fancy skill position. But that doesn't mean linemen can't possess fancy skill, as evidenced by this recent display at a Nebraska practice.

That's Cornhuskers sophomore anchor lineman Nick Gates showing off his great hands -- or hand, I should say -- with this absurd five-digit catch. That sort of grab would be impressive in almost any circumstance, but it becomes even more impressive when you consider the fact that it came on an absolute bullet off the throwing machine, which was only about 10 yards away.

I'm sure Gates is excellent on the line, but at 6-foot-5, 290 pounds and with hands like that, the Huskers should give him some run at tight end. Imagine trying to stop that guy in the red zone? Good luck.
