Why One Calvin Austin III Catch Was Even Bigger Personally Than His TD Grab

Related Topics: Brandon Stephens, Aaron Rodgers

While Calvin Austin III caught a touchdown in the Steelers’ season opener, that apparently wasn’t his favorite catch in New Jersey. At least, it wasn’t his most validating reception. Instead, it was a back-shoulder catch late in the second quarter into the red zone, setting up a touchdown. The circumstances aren’t why, but rather, how he made the catch.
