College Wide Receiver Kicks The Ball To Himself In An Amazing Catch You’ll Have To Watch Twice

Another angle:


If this isn’t the catch of the year, it’s gotta be in the conversation.

The receiver’s name is Ilir Emini of Division III Knox College (Illinois) and the catch was made against Lawrence University. It was a weak ball thrown by the QB, and whether by accident or a divine craftiness, Emini kicked the ball up into his own hands while the cornerback thought the play was over. Let this be a lesson to young defensive backs across the nation: don’t quit on the play, bitches.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
