In the box score, it’ll show up as an incompletion for 0 yards. However, if Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki came down with this catch, Dolphins Nation would’ve assuredly been in a happy pandemonium. This route likely results in a touchdown if Ryan Tannehill throws this pass.
Let’s just admire Gesicki’s athleticism for a moment:
- He times his jump perfectly, with the choppy steps just before the goal line so he can explode off both feet, with the proper spacing, to get maximum height on his jump. You can see the basketball background come into effect: rebounding is about timing the peak of your jump and Gesicki has this trait in spades.
