Look, Mom! One hand! Mike Evans and the art of the one-handed catch

LAKE BUENA VISTA — When the NFL's official site posted a highlight video of the top 50 catches of the 2016 season, No. 1 on the list wasn't a game-winner or even a touchdown.

It was a leaping sideline grab by the Bucs' Mike Evans in a lopsided loss to the Falcons on a Thursday night in November.

Evans saw a pass from Jameis Winston, high and a bit behind him, turned his body and leapt high for a one-handed catch, pulling the ball in and getting both feet inbounds then holding on as Atlanta safety Keanu Neal delivered a crushing helmet-first hit on the sideline.
