Just catch the dang ball, guys! If it hits you in the hands, it’s your ball. Stop trying to get a cross tattoo on your bicep, use your hands. I once had a QB throw so hard that I often caught curl and out routes with my arms rather than hands. I dropped a lot of passes because the ball hits your pads and ricochets off your body. My coach chewed my rear end daily, “use your hands!”

I showed up one day at practice with a pair of neoprene, receiving gloves and easily caught a one hand grab on an overthrown post route. Use your freaking hands!
