Odell Beckham Jr’s physics-defying grab against the Dallas Cowboys has been lauded for the greatest touchdown reception of all time. However, we have put together a list of 15 examples of great grabs that are as good, if not better.
1. Andre Johnson
Safe hands personified. It took an almighty stretch from Andre Johnson but he somehow managed to control this by the skin of his fingertips, sprinting at full speed, inches away from going out of bounds.

2. Mike Thomas
There are few things more satisfying than watching a Hail Mary touchdown. Thomas got a bit of luck to grab hold of this one, but showed insane reflexes nonetheless.
3. Mark Clayton
See the stunning catch at 1:52. Clayton shrugs off his opponent before outstretching and just about holding onto the Hail Mary pass.

4. Randy Moss
A one-handed catch over Darrelle Revis? No problem for Randy Moss, he ran into the end zone as cool as you like.

5. Marvin Harrison
A 360, mid-air, pirouette complete with finger-tip control seconds before going out of bounds. Simply outstanding.
6. Greg Lewis
There’s a reason why this game-winning touchdown has been labeled the “miracle pass”. Favre waited until the very last moment to pull the trigger on the pass and thankfully, he was right.
7. Braylon Edwards
It will take a few viewings to work out how exactly Edwards managed to a) catch the ball between the two tacklers and b) stay in bounds.
8. Victor Cruz
He catches the loose ball then turns on the afterburners and caps it off with a fitting end zone dance. Sometimes showboating is warranted.
9. Santonio Holmes
It’s the Super Bowl. There’s 35 seconds left in the game. We need Santonio Ho…ly Hell! How did he do that?
10. Antonio Bryant
Did the quarterback’s spiral miss its target? Not to worry, Bryant will just use his magic to catch it.
11. Tom Moeaki
Moeaki takes flight, makes the catch (with one hand) and lands. The airtime he got here is ridiculous.
12. Torry Holt
One of the more dramatic touchdowns on the list. Check out the slow-motion replay and count how many times the ball changes hands. Holt needed a bit of luck for this one, but it was undoubtedly a spectacular TD.
13. Immaculate reception
It gives me chills every time.
14. Antonio Freeman
Freeman gets knocked down and he gets back up again, and nothing was getting in the way of him and those six points.
15. David Tyree’s ‘Helmet Catch’
Not a touchdown pass, but so innovative we had to include it. Now that’s what I call “using your head”. Get it? *roars obnoxiously while blowing cigar smoke in your face and giving endless amounts of unwanted elbow nudges*
