Yea, but that conversation morphed into Team Corey stating any WR with big hands can make the catches he makes.
I don't think that's anywhere near the case, especially given that we know Beckham is one of the most athletic WRs in the NFL, if not the most athletic. So that alone should tell you that he can make more catches than most, then throw on top of it that he does seem to have the best crazy catch highlight reels(i'm talking about in game) and it seems obvious that what he does isn't close to something any WR w/big hands can do.

So one of the top five WRs to ever play could do it, that's not shocking.
Look, if it wasn't that good we will see more videos coming out from guys doing it all around the league......or similar catches with the same degree of difficulty.
google "one handed catches" but dont take my word for it, Im not a NFL athlete and I've never seen anyone at a NFL level catch a ball. Sorry guys

That settles it, because Calvin Johnson could make amazing catches, then that proves that any WR with big hands could do the same.

He just films all of his
This is a really not so good argument here. I can GURANTEE you a lot of dudes can't make that catch.
Also, the gloves the NFL players use are the least tackiest gloves on the market, it is more to take away the song of the ball than anything.
Correct and correct.
The catch is incredible. All of the other catches posted in here (expect 1 in that Irvin training video) are completely different one handed grabs. I don't get really hyped about most of the 1 handed catches because it comes down to cradling the ball into a natural position and the hand is under the ball. He's going over top of the ball and keeping it extended over the defender in that video. That is outrageous. I don't even think that would be attempted in a game and that goes back to my point that it probably wasn't necessary cause he could have undercut it with his left hand and did a typical 1 hander (probably could have got 2 on it).

Well then... how about that. Happened to have a ruler and paper so I did that method in the video as well. I honestly still didn't believe you so I had to go look at hand sizes in the NFL. Smallest QB that I saw was 9". I did find an 8.25"... Will Fuller. Also interesting that it's not a direct correlation to height. Brees and Wilson are at 10.25", while Blake Bortles is 9.38" and Phillip Rivers is 9.25" (both guys 6'5" tall). I'm sure there is a loose correlation though because another site I saw broke it down by sport and basketball was by far the largest.

Complete change of topic... I'm loving the fact that Jabrill Peppers has been a monster in training camp and Browns fans are still split on him because he came from that team up north.
