For those of you that didn't get a chance to see what Odell Beckham Jr. did tonight get ready to see it over and over and over again.

I know people tend to exaggerate things such as this, but I've probably seen it 5 or 6 times already and I have to agree. I've seen a lot of them and I think it was the best I've seen.
I'm a big Nolan Ryan fan OK???!!!

    It's definitely up there...can't think of one offhand more spectacular.

    This guy is going to be a beast..he is much better than Cruz, imo, and could develop into one of the game's best wideouts before long.

    I can't think of another one that was better. It looked impossible.

    This game is full of sick catches out of Beckham. And if you saw the pre-game reel, it shows that practice makes perfect.

    I did see it. I thought it was a strange coincidence that they had just finished showing his pregame one-handers a few minutes before the one-handed T.D. There are some really good RC wide receivers this year, but I think this kid is starting to show he's in a class all by himself.

    Dramatic, yes, but total luck vs this one which was total talent and skill.

    I didn't see it live but did on the replay--awesome. I hope that is on a card next year!

    Beckham's catch was just insane. The NFL is loaded with talented young receivers that have made a big splash on the league: Beckham, TY Hilton, Antonio Brown, and soon-to-be Donte Moncrief.

    I hate hyperbole more than most people, but I agree this is the best I've ever seen. Gronk made a one handed catch last week that was pretty spectacular, but this was significantly better than that. Unbelievable!

    As a photographer, seeing these guys standing there like a spectator is inexcusable. It really is. I've missed plays, too many to count but this was a clean rollout by Manning and these guys need to be clicking and rolling. We are very lucky to be on the field, and paid. Head scratcher why guys are looking off to the side to see the play. Heck, I was even a ballboy during the Seahawks/Cardinals game today. LOL. Like everyone has said, awesome catch. Doug

    Was taking a knee to stop to clock. It was hard to pick it up with one hand, you know what they say about small hands. LOL

    Only one I can think of that's close would be Charles Woodson against Michigan State. Difference there is his was an interception.

    I missed that one live, was already in bed by then. Man, what a crazy catch! David Tyree's catch in the Super Bowl was also great, especially considering the circumstances and the improbability of catching it against the top of his helmet. Sorry if I dredge up a bad memory, Dan!

    This is my favorite. No gloves, no stick 'em. Just the best hands in the NFL for a few years.

    Unfortunately the video only shows Dan Fouts on the replay so the first 15 seconds show JJ make the grab, but that is it.

    I'm a Giants fan, so it would be easy for to say it's the best catch I've ever seen. David Tyree's catch in the Super Bowl is up there too. I saw Cris Carter make some absolutely sick catches back in the day. I might want to check out one of his highlight reels before I declare Beckham's catch the best I've seen. I'd say at worst it'll be top 3.

When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    We were wrong, because he was taking pictures, and he did get a decent one despite being too close. Here's an article he wrote about it.

    Nice post mlbfan. How cool must it have been to have been standing a couple of arms lengths away from the catch.
    Something tells me the photographer will be ok.

    I was thinking the same thing. Not to take anything away on this one at all since it is undeniably incredible, but there are two NY Giants catches that are better in my little opinion: David Tyree's and the one Willie Mays made over his shoulder.

    Tyree's catch was more luck than skill. Same with Immaculate Reception.

    I totally agree. And the Mays catch was incredible, but I don't think that's even the greatest baseball catch I've ever seen.

    I understand the still guys going from long lens to short since the play was many yards away but being a video guy I can't understand the dude looking off to the side and watch history go by. LOL

    wow. it's nice to know the knee jerk analysis of the play itself has succumbed to the overwhelming insistence that EVERYONE else near the play deserves a teardown.

    so, just to throw my dos pesos in, shame on the chick in the orange jacket. field level, corner end zone, hands in pockets, not even watching the play. why wasn't she in a hospitality suite sipping Cabernet and munching on brie with unsalted crackers?

    also, anyone who has straddling the john at that precise moment, turn in your seasoned seat pass until next year.

    I'm a Giants fan too, but after seeing the careers of Nicks, JPP and Wilson fizzle, I'm keeping my fingers crossed he stays healthy....

    I was actually at the game. I didn't realize there was so much talk about the catch until I got home and looked at Twitter and saw the replay 6,483 times on Sports Center. So bummed that the Giants lost.

    Odell actually has a history of crazy one handed catches in college. He said his secret is extra large hands. His glove size is 3XL
