If you think about it for a second or two, it makes perfect sense that NFL wide receivers would be absolutely incredible at dodgeball. They can move well, they are in the absolute top tier of athleticism, and they can catch.
Good heavens, they can catch.
Still, it’s still unreal to watch Browns wideout Jarvis Landry take over the Pro Bowl dodgeball game, as he did this week in Hawaii, and shut down his opponents over the final two minutes. The man stopped even throwing the balls, instead just rolling them to his opponents because he knew he could catch absolutely anything they threw his way.
Watch him. Watch him in all his glory:
What a performance. I am standing and applauding.
I feel comfortable saying this performance is the greatest in the history of Pro Bowl dodgeball. I think I watched a few minutes last year, maybe, and perhaps am not qualified to make such a broad statement. But also who cares.
