I believe what you say but if that is top three then it must be up against an ordinary lot. Great catch - no question. But the hype has been extraordinary. Must say I have tried to watch NFL and it has to be the worst 'footy' ever. Probably doesn't help that I just don't get it but it is so stop and sart it is terribly boring.
It's close to the best mark/catch I've ever seen in either sport.
Yes AFL players take one handlers all the time, but they catch them differently, they cradle the ball and usually pin it against another part of their body, or loop it when they catch it to take the speed off the ball.
He genuinely snatched it with his fingers, I guarentee you, I've never seen that with an AFL ball, which is slightly bigger and rounder which makes it harder to do.
The fact he did this behind his head makes it even more remarkable.
People used to get their rocks off about Jarrad Brennan and Kouta picking the ball up off the ground with their fingers, try doing that off a 45 meter torp above their head, basically the equivalent.
