March 15 (UPI) -- Morgan Moses doesn't look like a typical Harlem Globetrotters star. He's not long and lanky, but a big bulky NFL offensive lineman.

But the Washington Redskins tackle sure can make a trick shot. That's why the world famous basketball squad recruited him to participate in its game Sunday at Eagle Bank Arena in Fairfax.

Moses displayed his long snapping techniques, making a ridiculous trick shot during a training session with Globetrotters players Buckets Blakes and Hoops Green.

The flashy basketball squad met Moses and his 6-year-old daughter at Evolution Basketball's training facility in Ashburn, Virginia near Redskins Park. He will participate in the Globetrotters' famous football skit at 2 p.m. Sunday.

The Globetrotters play at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 17 at Eagle Bank Arena. It also plays at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday at the Verizon Center. The Globetrotters wrap up the trio of games on Sunday at Eagle Bank Arena.

Moses, 25, was a third round draft pick for the Redskins in 2014. He has started every game for the team in the last two seasons.
