The degree of difficulty with that catch was next level
First……the catch itself. That ball was HIT flat and HARD. So he had to time it at FULL STRETCH. Impressive, but we have seen that before.
Where it went next level for me was the touch down with one foot, IN BOUNDS WITH BALL IN HAND, and then releasing the ball back to Green who was backing up…..as Maxwell’s momentum was taking him out of bounds.
WOW WOW!!
Spare a thought for Green too. It would have been so easy to stand and admire what Maxwell was doing. Instead, he stayed “alive” and followed up just in case Maxwell was going to throw the ball back.
That is obviously practiced. The execution was flawless!
