Odell Beckham, Jr made the (very likely) NFL Catch of the Year on Sunday night, and it looks like he busted out some superpowers while making the play. It was the New York Giants up against the Dallas Cowboys, and the first play of the second quarter. Eli Manning has the ball 50 yards in the air, and Beckham decided to show off for the crowd at MetLife stadium by defying gravity with a touchdown catch at the end of his fingertips.
It took the crowd a while to even appreciate what they’d just seen. The more we stare at this, the more we’re convinced that Beckham made this catch with just three fingers. See for yourself…
Yeah, that’s a three-finger catch. We haven’t seen anyone do so much with three fingers since that mutant in the Wrong Turn movies. Now let’s watch that catch (from another angle) again and again in GIF form, because you don’t have to be a football fan to appreciate this kind of vintage football moment. Poetry in motion, people….
