Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times recently took the time to visit with a few of their receivers about their all-time favorite catch.
Despite claiming the title of the 2016 NFL Catch of the Year, Mike Evans said his favorite catch occurred in 2012 when he was starting as a redshirt freshman year at Texas A&M.
Rick Stroud writes:
Two plays earlier, Aggies quarterback Johnny Manziel somehow avoided a sack for a safety that likely would have clinched a victory for Ole Miss. Texas A&M trailed 27-17 in the fourth quarter and faced third and 19 on its 3-yard line. But Manziel always had great confidence in Evans and his ability to catch jump balls.
Manziel’s high-arching pass in Evans’ direction near the right sideline was underthrown. The 6-foot-5 wide receiver stretched both hands over Ole Miss defensive back Senquez Golson and made the catch, coming down with his feet in bounds for a 32-yard gain.
“Johnny threw me a jump ball,” said Evans, whose catch set up a Manziel touchdown run and helped spur A&M’s 30-27 victory. “We were down and losing the game, and I ended up Moss-ing the dude for a first down and we go down and score, get the ball again and score, and win the game. So we ended up in the top five in the country that year. It was third and 19. He trusted me, and I Mossed him.”
Evans, of course, is referring to his idol, former Vikings receiver Randy Moss.
