Yes I watched the video. Neither were the throws that the high school receivers got. They were just like 30-40 yard passes thrown at full arm strength. For Stingley, that’s easy. I guarantee you that almost any poster that says they could do it easily wouldn’t be able to do it like that in 5 tries. No bobble, nothing.

It was his acceleration that made it look easy.

I would love to see you go out and try to catch that in that manner from a college QB. Good luck.

Stingley showed up at LSU for Moffitization and Moffit looked at him and said "done!"

What does from a college qb have anything to do with it? It was a perfect spiral and lobbed with touch.

I thought the same thing until I watched videos and watched quality high school receivers drop almost every straight up pass using 2 hands from both college and NFL QBs. And that may look like a slow lob on video but I promise that ball is going faster than it looks.

You would have dropped 7/10 with your small white hands.

We’re not talking about a hard NFL pass. That ball is a soft floater. You could catch it no problem. I’m not taking anything away from Stingley just saying that’s an easy grab.

I'm almost 40 and noticably overweight. That was such a soft lob my out of shape arse is catching it at least 60% of the time

Yes easily. I'm not sure why anyone thinks that is difficult with such a soft pass.

Not a difficult achievement... but he made it look a lot easier than anyone on this board could. Most on this board don’t reach that ball

I'm talking about just the catch itself. Yes he definitely made it look a lot easier than I could. And I'd probably only be able to do it consistently with my dominant hand. He can probably snag it with either hand with ease

I’m 57 this summer and I make that catch 10 out of 10 times. Stingley is a great athlete. That catch is NOT an example of his greatness.

That is the very definition of exaggeration. Better than Burrow? Delpit?
