Malachi can do what Odell did tonight

It was an extraordinary catch. The first time I saw it, I thought, "Great catch, but I've seen that on flag football fields." But when I saw it again, in slow motion, it was one of the top catches I've ever seen. The hand placement is what makes it so. In that type of catch, it's usually made possible by getting the point of the ball into the palm of your hand. It was too far a reach for Beckham to do that.

OBJ catches it because he's developed an ability to swipe his hand at nearly the same speed as the ball. This slows the whole thing down for him. He's shown that same ability when he's made those one-handed kickoff catches. I've never seen anyone else do that.
