Harlon Hill catching a long pass by the top half of the ball.
Lenny Moore's 1960 dive that should have but didn't beat the Lions.

Antonio Freeman catching a touchdown bomb while horizontal over the top of a Bears DB.
Nate Poole's buzzer-beater against the Vikings.
David Tyree - say no more.

Paul Zimmerman called this the best catch he had ever seen. He then noted the 2nd best catch he had ever seen was Al Young's TD catch for the Steelers against the Dolphins in the 1972 AFC championship, which I thought to be an odd choice.Citizen wrote:Lynn Swann's physics-defying sideline catch in SB 10.

Cris Carter and Marvin Harrison made numerous great catches ... Though Paul Warfield is my favorite receiver, Harrison reminds me so much of him ...

John Jefferson made some of the most brilliant catches I've ever seen. I remember one fully outstretched dive. He had a one-handed catch also that I remember. We all used to try to practice making JJ catches in the yard and I don't think we were different than any other kids our age during that time.

Great call on Jefferson, GameBeforeTheMoney ...
Those pics with Bobby Moore(Rashad) are awesome. That Vikings fan's reaction to the TD was priceless, though he almost seemed to be too close to the field!

A rare occurrence at Metropolitan Stadium, where fans were usually very far from the field. Just look at that gap between the stands and fieldBrian wolf wrote:Great call on Jefferson, GameBeforeTheMoney ...

A very memorable catch for me is the one handed '74 playoff Biletnikoff TD while Foley had his other arm pinned. That might have been aided by all the stickum but it was still a stupendous circus catch.
