The best catch?

The best catch I ever saw was the glimpse I caught of these.

I have seen a lot of football, and that first one is probably the best one I've seen. The other from the Espys was pretty much a lot of luck, but neat, and the high school catch was mostly a very smart play more than a great catch.

Speaking of high school football, this has to be the greatest game I've ever seen. I was living in Texas at the time and watched this live and just couldn't believe the ending.

can't find the Lynn Swann(on youtube) catch in super bowl vrs. dallas, when bradshaw passes the ball from the 5ish yard line and swann catchs the ball @ the 50!

I thought that NY Giant David Tyree's catch in this year's Super Bowl vs the Patriots was the best I've seen this year, especially given it's importance to the outcome of the game.

As a Giants fan, not sure I forgot that!

The first one on this thread is the greatest one I've EVER seen and that includes "Swannie's" catch in the Super Bowl. I had not seen this previously, so thanks for sharing!

Were there some future Big 12 players in that game? seemed like no-one could play "D"

[Valuist]

Tyree's catch was better than Swann's, although his was pretty good also.

Catch of the week? Mark Clayton's one hand grab for a long touchdown vs the Bungals.

[toetoe]

Ricky Proel versus the Buccaneers in the playofs ... 2000 ? 1999 ?

Tyree's catch hands down.

[ldiatone]

Carter was known for great hands, running precise routes, and for acrobatic leaps. He had remarkable body control and footwork when making catches near the sidelines. At the Citrus Bowl at the end of the 1985 season, Carter caught a ball that quarterback Jim Karsatos was intending to throw away out of bounds as he was being tackled. Karsatos has claimed that catch by Carter was the greatest in the history of college football: "When I finally saw it on film, he was tiptoeing the sidelines and he jumped up and caught the ball left-handed by the point of the football at least a yard out of bounds. Then he somehow levitated back in bounds to get both his feet in bounds. I swear to this day he actually levitated to get back in bounds. When I saw it on film, it just blew me away."

Prior to Carter's senior season, he secretly signed with notorious sports agent Norby Walters. When the contract was discovered, Carter was ruled ineligible. The absence of Carter in the 1987 offense contributed to a disappointing 6-4-1 season and the firing of Coach Bruce.

Despite losing his senior year, Carter left Ohio State holding the school record for receptions (168). In 2000, he was selected as a member of the Ohio State Football All-Century Team. In 2003, he was inducted into the Ohio State Varsity O Hall of Fame.
