Odell Beckham Jr. just made possibly the greatest catch in NFL history
- Thread starter resurrection
- Start date
The catch in itself is impressive, what makes it the best I've personally ever seen is the obstacles he had to go through to make the catch. The guy is getting held and mugged by Brandon Carr less than a second before the ball arrives. The football is being thrown around 40 yards down the field from an NFL QB. Anyone who has played the sport can tell you most nikkas even in the NFL ain't catching a ball thrown that far with one hand because the shear velocity of the ball coming down makes it impossible to grab with just one hand. The guy is FALLING BACKWARDS when the ball reaches him so he never gets a clear vision of where the ball is headed. To top it all off, he caught that shyt with 3 fingers and never needed the second hand to control it

It's possible to make that catch without sticky gloves or even gloves for that matter. Everything just worked out in that situation, as far as touch (ball was laid softly), body placement and Etc. The cat that mentioned core strength is correct, concentration played a huge part also. So props to Odell. The basic one handed grab is nothing to a receiver with hands though (Odells catch is far from basic tho)

What pushed it over the top for me with that as well was that he still got his feet and body down in bounds as well. When I first saw it I thought he went out of bounds.

You're trying too hard.Ol' Boy from Ohio State catch was better than ODB
It's harder to make that same catch while having your feet off the ground and spinning in mid air.

I disagree you don't want to give dude credit and @*DalMem* and. I don't see eye to eye everything but he gave you a very comparable catch. I even think the Grimes int from a few weeks ago is up there. It was nice catch no doubt and add its SNF, Giants/Cowboys, NY Bias you have the makings of best catch ever.

Beckham caught it with three fingers, b. Three.
That doesn't take away from the Ohio State catch, but it's simply not a better catch than OBJ's. That doesn't make the Ohio State dude's catch not amazing, but it's a 9.5 to OBJ's perfect 10.
