Making the catch of the year was mostly Odell Beckham.
But the Giants wide receiver admitted he’s not sure if he could have made his now-famous, falling-backward, three-fingered catch without his gloves.
“I have no idea,” Beckham said, via Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News.
Beckham’s gloves are Nike Vapor Jets, size XXXL (which may also explain how he catches flying things with one hand), which he’s been wearing since his college days at LSU.
“I definitely told them they were some of my favorites that they made,” Beckham said. “It’s just the way that they fit. They’re a tight fit, they’re very light, and they feel like they’re a part of your hand.”
If the gloves were the secret, everyone would be wearing them, but we suspect Beckham’s hands deserve a little more of the credit.
