Keelan Cole goes full Odell Beckham for unreal one-handed grab

No Leonard Fournette, no problem. The Jacksonville Jaguars came out throwing in their Week 2 matchup against the New England Patriots. It didn’t take long for receiver Keelan Cole to justify that decision.

With the Jaguars already leading 7-0 in the first quarter, Cole made an unbelievable one-handed grab that would have impressed even Odell Beckham Jr.

Don’t believe us? Have a look:

Cole snatched the ball at its highest point with his right palm. It stuck there perfectly. While that was impressive, the play wasn’t over yet. Cole had the awareness to stick his right hand forward to make sure cornerback Eric Rowe couldn’t break up the pass. Cole picked up a 22-yard gain on the play.

The catch wasn’t enough for Cole. He made sure to put an exclamation point on the drive three plays later, when he hauled in a 24-yard touchdown pass from Blake Bortles. The play put the Jaguars up 14-0 over New England.

After making the catch, Cole ran directly into the tunnel. Don’t worry, Jags fans, he didn’t pull a Vontae Davis and retire in the middle of a game. But you have to admit that would have a baller move after making those two plays.
