00:00They say there's not a more difficult position in sports
00:05than NFL quarterback.
00:07But the truth is, throwing a pass is only half the story.
00:12With all due respect to offensive linemen,
00:16a quarterback's best friend is this guy.
00:20The receiver.
00:23The lightning-quick wide-out, screaming down the field.
00:28The sure-handed tight end, posted up over the middle.
00:33The fleet-footed technician, toe-tapping along the sidelines.
00:37Payton, Payton, Payton, this show's about receivers, right?
00:40I love you and all, but why don't you pass this season off to me?
00:44I promise you, it's in good hands.
00:48Fires to Moss, Moss is up, caught, touchdown!
00:51What a kick, yes! What a great kiss by Randy Moss!
00:56Y'all can put that in y'all's book, I told you and I told you.
01:00Touchdown!
01:02It's always funny when people say a receiver has one job.
01:06Catch the ball.
01:08Oh, catch the ball!
01:10When catching the ball is mostly out of our hands.
01:14Let's do this.
01:16The play call.
01:18The protection.
01:20The quarterback looking our way.
01:22So many things we have no control over have to go right.
01:26I got it!
01:27Just for the chance to do our job.
01:29I don't even know how I did that.
01:31Why can't we just make it easy?
01:34No matter how much you train, study, and practice,
01:38when the ball is snapped, you can leave the defender in the dust,
01:42run the perfect route, and have absolutely nothing to show for it.
01:48Catch the ball.
01:50Congrats, you're now a moving target.
01:54Drop the ball.
01:56Sorry, you'll never hear the end of it.
01:58Dropped again by Tony!
02:01They call us divas, despite our decoy routes.
02:05They call us distractions, despite all the damn blocking we do.
02:11But no one seems to recognize the one thing we do.
02:15No one seems to recognize the one thing we actually are.
02:19Always open.
02:21What a catch!
02:23Unbelievable!
02:24Sometimes, bro, you just gotta be confident and go with it.
02:27So this year, we switched it up.
02:29Those are my shoes!
02:30Instead of giving quarterbacks even more love,
02:33we follow five of the league's best pass catchers throughout the 2023 season.
02:39You hear what I'm talking about? I'm here.
02:42Devontae Adams.
02:44Amon Ross St. Brown.
02:46Who you got going to see, bro?
02:47You guys!
02:48It's my dog.
02:50Justin Jefferson.
02:52And they can't stop JJ!
02:54He does that dance, the gritty.
02:56They're gonna get every single bit of 18.
02:58Yeah!
02:59And a pair of 49ers.
03:01Ooh, look what they got!
03:03Debo Samuel.
03:04Hey, Debo, you already won, man. I'm in his head.
03:07And George Kittle.
03:09High five?
03:10Thank you.
03:12We're going all in with the top receivers in the league
03:16as they balance their daily grind
03:19with their pursuit of greatness.
03:21Ten, five, touchdown!
03:24They really cannot touch you.
03:26You're so big.
03:27To get a new quarterback in the middle of the season,
03:30it's a little difficult.
03:31My benchmark is not wins and losses.
03:34It's greatness.
03:36Don't you just love football?
03:38God!
03:39What a fun sport.
03:42You know the drill.
03:43Every hit.
03:45Every hurt.
03:47Every high.
03:48I found you!
03:52But hey, all they gotta do is catch the ball, right?
04:11You
