Possibly. I have tapes of Super Bowls IX, XIII and XIV, and I'm pretty clear it didn't happen in any of those (or if it did, the announcers didn't notice it and didn't say anything about it). So it would have to have been Super Bowl X. But X is actually the logical one for it to have been. In Super Bowl X, Dallas received the opening kickoff, and ran a trick return (some kind of reverse, as I recall) that worked very well and forced the Steelers' kicker, Roy Gerela, to make the tackle. Gerela got injured making the tackle, and struggled with field goals the rest of the day (indeed, it was one of his misses which prompted Cliff Harris of the Cowboys to famously taunt him, inspiring Jack Lambert to famously throw Harris to the ground) So the point is, the Steelers had a hobbled kicker throughout Super Bowl X and it would entirely make sense that they would have scampered to find someone else to do kickoffs. So I suppose it could have been a lineman.
