Odell Beckham with the catch of the year

[buffalo34]

Wow....just wow.....I literally said "holy s-word" when he came down with that. Will be by far and away the highlight of the year.

 

....but the Cowboys will still thrash the Giants, just because.

[Stephen]

yea it was nice

[Cnr324]

Yes it was! Sheesh

[LordHelpOurColts]

Probably the greatest catch I have ever seen

[bestQBever]

He's a future superstar. He'll be a 1000+ yard receiver starting next year.

I went on NFL.com to watch the replay.  After watching the replay, I literally had this expression on my face

[Franklin County]

Heck of a catch!!!

A Catch for the Ages

[Gavin]

Crazy catch!, Unbelievable concentration and poise and body control! He don't make that catch without all that other stuff

[RockThatBlue]

His hands are almost too good

[Jhaze55]

His hands are almost too good

Hand** ;)

[Moose Of Woe]

[backshoulderfade]

That's the best catch I've seen.

[James Harden]

Best catch of the year!

[JaguarsWoman]

The only catch you can possibly argue was better than that one would be David Tyree's helmet trick in Super Bowl 42. When this season is over it will still be Catch of the Year.

 

So why wasn't this guy the 39th pick in the 2014 draft?

[pacolts56]

His nickname should be Matrix.

[SteelCityColt]

[amfootball]

I really think a lot of these catches have to do with the gloves. You can see the ball settle right on his hand like it was stuck there. Still a great catch as he had to reach behind his head and pull it in.

I'm curious as to how much extra grip the gloves can give you.

 

But gloves or no gloves that's an amazing catch.  

[PeterBowman]

I remember watching the Colts/Giants game and there were showing his warmups where he was snagging those passes one handed.....and not a cradling motion but swatting at them and catching them one handed.

[TAPLOOK]

The Giants  usually reserve those for the SB but since they won't be representing the NFC against the Patriots this season mind as well bust them out now.

Agree on all of the above, but when it comes down to it I don't think they are any different from what

Fred Belitnekoff did back in the 60's/70's - using all of that stick-um(sp?).  Receivers have always wanted an edge when

catching the ball.

 

In my opinion, this catch is even better than Tyree's catch, but this one didn't have the impact that Tyree's had, being in the SB.

I don't even want to think about the chemistry that could exist between Eli and Beckham next year having a full camp together.

YEESH...

I doubt that gloves are as effective as Stick-em though.  But I would say the gloves give them somewhat of an edge if you can call it that given that most receivers wear gloves now.  

[MTC]

I'm a bit skeptical on how he caught that.

These new gloves are ridiculous; I have a NE

pair

A buddy of mine , who played in the NFL for five years as a guard, showed me gloves that his current high school kids wear (at a high level prep program ) and gloves from 10 years ago.

No comparison. The rubber used is almost adhesive.

Another advantage to help emphasize the passing game I suppose.  

[SteelCityColt]

Gloves or no gloves that's a superb athletic effort to even be in a position to make that grab. 

[GoPats]

Ridiculous grab, gloves or no gloves. When NFL people talk about receivers' "body control" they should show this clip. 

[BOTT]

Please ban these gloves

[OffensivelyPC]

He's a future superstar. He'll be a 1000+ yard receiver starting next year.

At the rate he's going, he'll be a 1000 yard receiver this year and almost certainly would be over a 1000 yards if he played the entire year.

[Girlzarefanstoo]

Fighting through all of the holding that was going on prior to the catch, practically doing a back bend and STILL coming down with it behind his head with 3 fingers - what's so special about that?!!!

[buffalo34]

And the Giants lost that game, making the catch effectively worthless. Thanks, unclutch defense!

Gloves from ten years ago weren't as good as a new pair? You don't say...

That catch was incredible. I don't care if he was wearing a baseball glove.

[Moose Of Woe]

Kenton Keith could have used a pair.

Big assist from the gloves ...

Amen GP Amen. Man, that ability to twist his body like that was mind blowing.
