WR Michael Jenkins (All B1G, National Champion)

I mean, of course I remember Holy Buckeye. I remember 4th and 14 in the championship game. Those were amazing plays. But that’s not what I was talking about.

I was speaking to the Jeremiah Smith / Marvin Harrison / Garrett Wilson-type catches where you say “how the hell did he catch that pass!”.

Those catches I mentioned were part of incredibly important plays and they were amazing in the context of when he made them, but the catches themselves were not particularly special on their own.

Did he have any ridiculous 1-handed catches? Or catches where he made a bunch of defenders miss? Or where he performed some ridiculous acrobatics to get a foot down?

That’s what I was going for. He wasn’t the fastest, he wasn’t the biggest leaper, he didn’t Moss people, he just wasn’t a flashy receiver like some of the more recent stars. Gus Johnson never would have made up a ridiculous nickname for him. But he was incredibly reliable and productive when he was on the field and the stats bear that out.

I just watched about ten minutes of Jenkins highlights. What struck me after all this time was how big he was and how many tough contested catches he made look easier than they were. Dude came down with a ton of jump balls, using two hands, and never made it look hard. Even Holy Buckeye is a pretty tough catch that he made look easy. On some slants and hooks he did juke a few dudes with quick change of direction, but not too often. There was a lot of Devin Smith, minus the blazing speed, in his deep ball game.
