Lucy Van Pelt, meet Kevin Huber.
The Bengals punter took a page from the "Peanuts" character's book during Sunday's NFL exhibition vs. the Redskins. In Huber's case, he kept himself from kicking the ball so he could avoid a block, and he did so with flair.

So what if Huber didn't get the kick away? That was such a sweet maneuver.

"'Pistol' Pete Maravich would be proud," Fox play-by-play announcer Joe Buck said.
Funny you should mention basketball, Joe, because Huber says he isn't much of a hoopster.
Kevin Huber is aware he's gone viral. We have his reaction. Heads up @PatMcAfeeShow and @barstoolsports. #Bengals @fox19 @khuber10 pic.twitter.com/cKDhqFnaYX

Huber is competing with Will Monday for the punter's job in Cincy. His quick thinking Sunday ought to help him.
