Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes will forever be synonymous with Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa for the absolutely incredible catch he made in the back right corner of the end zone, toe-tapping for the game-winning score on a brilliant throw from former Steelers quarterback and future Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger.
Rightfully so, too.
