49ers Feature: Austin Duke - Catch Him if You Can

Austin Duke caught the pass in the flat, three yards behind the line of scrimmage.

He eluded the first defender, sidestepped the next stack and raced down the sideline for a 76-yard touchdown in the 49ers 2016 home opener.

It's the very type of play with which he has thrilled Niner Nation over his standout four-year career.

He owns all of the 49ers' receiving records. Game, season and career. That 76-yard catch-and-run is the 4th longest in school history – and Duke owns all four and eight of the top nine.

In the inaugural game, Duke pulled in the 49ers' first pass reception.
