Odell Beckham, Jr. Greatest NFL catch ever?
Wow.
Players in Video games can't even make catches like this.

They should call this one "The Miraculous Reception." Seemingly impossible to hold on to a football with one hand with your body at an impossible angle like that. Not a football wonk, just a casual fan, but it was one for the ages.

That kid is a cornerback's nightmare. The funny thing is that they showed a few one-handed catches that he had made in practice...and I was wondering if something like that was doable in an actual game situation.
Utterly unbelievable!

Probably wanted to show that the catch in the warm up was no fluke. Unbelievable!

So, I guess the penalty flag was thrown for "impossible use of the hands."!

The DB on the play, #39, got truly posterized here. Any Beckham poster of this catch on someone's wall is going to have that guy in the backround.
Beckham just has to hope the DB doesn't sue him for Defamation of Character.

Greatest catch I've ever seen...unreal.
Tom Waddle had a beautiful catch for the Bears back in the day, but this was better.
SIDENOTE: while at LSU I had a class with Odell Beckham Sr. (a RB for the Tigers) and got to be friends with him. Not sure how to say this, but we, ummmm, "partied" together a few times.

If not the greatest, definitely in the top .000001%.

Personally I say no, you couldn't do that without the glove.
But take nothing away from it, it was a thing of beauty, a seemingly impossible grab.
