Sometimes we are awfully thankful cameras of some sort are rolling in sports when it’s not an official game. Think about the Randy Johnson bird missile he threw in a spring training event for the Arizona Diamondbacks. That was caught from the center field on less-than-ideal footage, but it was still catalogued as a viral moment.
This week, during Tampa Bay Buccaneers OTAs, there was another moment we were glad was caught on camera, especially for Ohio State fans. That’s because former Buckeye receiver Emeka Egbuka made what would have been an unbelievable catch if not on film. Not only did last season’s Bucs receptions leader make a one-handed grab behind him while on the run, but he took it the distance for a touchdown.
If you haven’t seen the footage, click below and prepare to be dazzled.
Egbuka had one whale of a rookie campaign, and it’s time to put him on the shortlist of serious breakout candidates this coming season, especially with all-time Bucs receiver Mike Evans moving on to the San Francisco 49ers.
