Pittsburgh Steelers rookie sensation George Pickens reeled in an incredible one-handed catch. Here is how social media responded.
While watching the George Pickens catch, football fans of any team may have asked themselves the following question: did I just witness the greatest catch in NFL history? The answer to that is yes, for now. It was not long ago that Odell Beckham Jr. turned heads with a fantastic one-handed grab of his own. But even this catch caught his eye.
Beckham Jr. was not the only elite wide receiver who respected Pickens’ catch. Davante Adams, of the Las Vegas Raiders, was stunned by the grab.
However, catching the eye of NFL greats is exciting, but catching the eye of potentially the Steelers’ biggest fan really tells you something. Internet sensation, Pittsburgh Dad, was so moved by the catch that he is ready for a Pickens statue!
A couple more internet personalities reacted to this great catch as well.
I will note, Pickens was not wide open that play, but he adjusted himself to give himself the best shot at making the play.
One of the most inspiring reactions came from former Steeler Ryan Clark. Clark tweeted what all Steelers fans were thinking during this game.
That play was the highlight of the game for the Steelers, it gave the fans hope of better things to come amidst the offensive struggles we all anticipated.
The catch was great, but we cannot forget that Mitch Trubisky threw that ball right where it needed to be. One fan recognized how impressive that throw was.
Getting targets to Pickens was something the fans were begging for and Pickens has been ready for some NFL action. Trubisky knew that to succeed he would need to fully utilize his offensive weapons.
Perhaps, the best reaction to that catch came from a fan-favorite backup quarterback, Duck Hodges.
