VIDEO: Texas State Wide Receiver Pulls off a Blinder Without Wearing Gloves

NFL is a game full of incredible athletes. Athletes of different varieties and qualities. Some athletes are strong like an ox while others are Swift like a gazelle. Wide receivers are athletes of different breeds. They are fast, strong as well as agile. However, a video has gathered a lot of attention on Twitter after they uploaded it on the Jomboy Media Page. The video focuses on the brilliance of a Texas wide receiver. The young receiver’s athletic ability and skill mesmerized the audience. The athlete’s name is Joey Hobert and his catch is now in contention for the catch of the year.

The video starts with the match between Texas State and Baylor. Hobert doesn’t do anything extravagant in the video. He runs towards the defender, and with a slight change of pace, runs past him. His speed takes him away from the defender with ease. He keeps his focus on the ball and, with an outstretched right hand, gathers the ball and scores an important point. After, the completion of the point whole crowd and the coaching staff looked stunned. Although the catch looks simple in slow motion but in real time, it was one hell of a grab.

Athletic ability of the highest order

Joey Hobert displayed athletic ability of the highest order. It is difficult to keep balance while running at speed and also keep focus on the ball. We can see it in the video that the opponent team’s defender is not far behind him. Joey had to make sure that he does not get tackled before he receives the ball. In most matches, wide receivers wear gloves to provide them with that extra cushion. However, Joey has no gloves on, which makes it more difficult to gather the ball.

Joey rolls over to the outside after completing the catch and the fans looked stunned. This has to be one of the best moments of college NFL matches. During the entire match, Joey tormented the Baylor defense. Texas State’s leading performance comes from Hobert, who has 6 receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown.
