Phenomenal catch and possibly the best of the year so far in the league, to be sure.

My concern is the ball spin afterward...it was still a live ball because there was no whistle! He's lucky in went OB to make it a moot point, because the defender sure was all over it! College, that play is dead after the catch. NFL, you have to play until the whistle is blown.

Hope the coaches remind him of that this week.

There is a rule about a player giving himself up. This play should have fallen under this rule but he sure could have got up and continue to run.
