Pittsburgh wide receiver Jordan Addison had an incredible first half for the Panthers against Georgia Tech on Saturday and a wild catch highlighted his performance.
With 8:54 remaining in the first half, Panthers quarterback Kenny Pickett left to pass and threw the ball at Addison.
The sophomore star had already fallen to the ground, but the pass was spot on and Addison somehow managed to catch the catch even though it was down.
