He has amazing hands and pulls off one handed grabs on a per-game basis nowadays and can get up over a DB to pull in jump balls. He's not a burner, but he makes up for it in so many ways.

GamedayGuru Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Michael Thomas is basically unstoppable on the slant route. Too big. Quick and strong. Also very good on curls and out routes. Pure hands catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the feedback. For a moment, I thought this would be a dead thread because of the attention span from seeing a lengthy list of guys. I just wanted to give options for the everyone to pick who they wanted to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, I don't have much in terms of watching Jordy. From what I have seen, he's great, no doubt. The thing is, Hop just toes that sideline every single time. This past season, he took it to another level entirely - I'm usually good at telling when a guy is out vs when a guy is in, but Hop had me fooled this entire season, he was yanking things and tapping his feet like I've never seen before. Here's a clip of some of his best plays - it doesn't include plays from this past season, but you can see he's got a special talent (along with a lot of his one handed catches): https://youtu.be/6lhnSLG2_iI I'll see if I can find some from this season...

ET80 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 This is from this past season. Some of these grabs are literally unreal. Guy has some special talent in those hands and feet. He makes a play like that in every game nowadays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesehawk Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 @EliteTexan80 Nuk is great, I'm not taking anything from him. But we have been watching Jordy make plays like that for 8 years, consistently. It's always been where Jordy is deadly.. on the sideline. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000260101/Nelson-catches-everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say he has a best exactly, but what he does have is very very secure and strong hands, he drops nothing, and he has a knack for high pointing balls or making tough catches in traffic. It's like his hands are so strong he kind of just plucks it out the air like its a bean bag or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzane Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 They're still pretty rare, but I have to think that the One-Handed Circus Catch is Odell's signature play: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzane Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Annnnd, it may have only happened the one time- so far!- but I would be remiss if I failed to mention the New Star Rises In The Northern Sky Miracle Catch by Stefon Diggs, and a nod to @Illadelegend215 for being the first to forecast this young man's Greatness!!
