    I saw it on espn the other day. It has to be up high on the list though but it all depends on how you rank them whether its just how great the catch is or how important or the significance of the catch.

    In general, I have a problem with calling a catch one of the greatest ever when the receiver made such a terrible play to get himself into position to have to make the catch. I prefer catches that are spectacular and not a cause of the receiver running a bad route. I'm not totally sure what's going on here but that's what it looks like.

    It is an amazing catch though.

    Judging it solely on how spectacular the actual catch is, I don't know that I've ever seen anything better--maybe the Lynn Swan catch.

    phenomenal catch. we've seen lots of good one handed catches every year, including these two in the past year by high schoolers

    That backhanded catch was quite incredible.

    Admittedly biased but I like the catch that ocurred around 4:34
