This Keelan Cole catch might be one of the best ever

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole made one of the best catches you will ever see in the first quarter of their game against the New England Patriots.

Cole was able to leap over the Patriots’ defensive back and bring the pass in with one hand. Cole’s catch resembled Odell Beckham’s famous catch on Sunday Night Football from his rookie year.

Making big plays isn’t anything new to Cole. He was second in the NFL last year with 17.8 yards per completion. Some players just have a knack for those, and Cole appears to be one of them.

Cole caught 7 of 8 targets for a game-high 116 yards, including a couple of key third-down conversions. He also caught a 24-yard touchdown in the first half to help give Jacksonville a 21-3 lead at halftime.

Doug Farrar caught up with Cole after the game and he said he just did what he was supposed to do on the play.

“Really, all I was supposed to do was to run straight,” he said. “Blake was just going to throw the ball, and I was just going to catch it. It sounds real simple, but that’s what it was. That’s one of my strengths—my speed, and then getting open. It’s something we used on that play—[quarterback] Blake [Bortles] threw the ball, and I made a play. That’s all it really was. Tried to make a catch on my one-on-one, and took advantage of it.”

Unlike in the AFC Championship game earlier this year, the Jaguars didn’t let up in the second half. This time, they got the win — and it was in small part to Cole helping create big plays for the Jags.
