In honor of Corbin Hendrix's highlight reel 1 habd td reception, let's reflect. Let's do this! Yes, I've asked or will ask the GRIZ pods this too.

After Hendrix's 1 handed catch, can we collectively come up with a GRIZ top 10 highlight receptions? I'm not talking clutch timely receptions either. Just purely athletic, jaw dropping, near impossible receptions. GO!

Jabin over the shoulder in the snow to punch a ticket to the natty.

Mariani had quite a few...leaping fingertip snag in a Natty (was it against Richmond? or Villanova?) and his one handed laying out TD early in his career against maybe Northern Colorado?

Roberts' catch against NDSU along the sideline was perfect timing

Jimmy Farris’ end zone catch against App State, in the snow.

Came to say this. His first “wow” moment for me as a Griz was when he caught that one handed touchdown vs NCU. I went to Havre high and played with him in high school. Was a freshman when he was a senior, so was super psyched for him and for Havre. Havre hasn’t had a lot of guys ball out for the Griz. Seeing Marc and detrick do so is great for the community.

Terrific interactions all!
Sure beats the bickering.

Who had the pinned TD against the back of a Weber defender while falling to the ground? Was in the SW corner of the South endzone and either completed a comeback or sealed the deal of a close game. Was that Sambrano also or more recent like Curran or somebody?

 

[HookedonGriz]

Jamal Jones had a couple of absolute beauties in his career. I think one of his best was against the bison in Fargo.

 

[hm.grwn.grizfan]

Ellis Henderson had some good ones. Ben Robert’s vs NDSU in 2015

Ben Roberts had some good ones.

I think it was this pass from Jordan Johnson to Jabin Sambrano shown at the 50 seconds mark. I'm pretty sure replay from another angle showed him pin it against the defender's back with one one hand before pulling it in. I guess I was way off on the close game part haha. Probably just remember being stoked.

Didn't Mariani have an incredible diving catch in the championship game against Villanova?
If i recall......?

Raul Pacheco had an awesome catch on a 50-60 yard Hail Mary before half against the Cats.

Dang I forgot how good JJ was.

Richmond, and replay ruled it incomplete, which was complete BS.

I think the Mariani catch you're referencing was against Richmond (?), and replay ruled it incomplete.

Yeah it was the Richmond game. I should have remembered that detail since I was at that game haha.

Nguyen also looks faster than I remember. He was always thought of as quick but I think a lot of people thought he lacked the top-end/breakaway speed.
