Mini Camp Wrap-up video.

Bryants catch over Butler featured on NFLN. Surprising to be honest that they would feature this on the site.

The ruling on the field has been overturned.

This wasn't a catch, well... Let's just say it wouldn't have counted in a game. Hell of an effort by the guy though.

Exactly why wouldn't it be a TD?

Thanks for posting the video Ivan, I've been looking all over for this.

Watch it in slow mo as he goes to the ground. The ball obviously touches the ground... Meaning that he didn't control it all the way to the ground... Which by the rules, would NOT be a catch.

Not raining on the parade. Great play... Just wouldn't have counted. Love the guy and effort. Just wasn't a catch.

Have to disagree.

Upon making the grab, he stepped once with his left foot, then went down and his right knee touched the ground. Making it a catch. He followed through and never let go of the ball. Regardless of the ball touching the ground or not. He maintained control and he had two two 'steps' in the end zone. Foot and knee. That's a TD.

If you want to disagree you can. I'm afraid that you're wrong though. Calvin Johnson had two feet in and obviously made the catch... But because he went to the ground and the ball touched the ground it wasn't a Touchdown by rule... Even though everyone knew it was a TD

This case isn't even close... Leaped for ball, as he was going down the ball hits the ground (with WR's hands firmly on it) but the ball obviously hits the ground and bounces of the turf and into his chest. No TD

I'm not a Debbie downer... This guy made a great play, even if it were Smitty it wouldn't be a catch though.

I understand, but in Calvins 'TD', he let go of it before they could get any legitimate proof. Basically let go of it too soon. That's why they over turned it.

Bro, he maintained possession of the ball, the ball did not leave his hands.

And if you're talking about this call, it's not even the same situation. The ball left his hands.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
