Comparing one-hand catches: Sammy Watkins vs. Tyrod Taylor

One is an accomplished receiver while the other is a quarterback. But the two Bills teammates each have a catch that got an awful lot of attention for happening in a practice setting. The question now - which one was better between challenger and champion?

CHALLENGER: TAYLOR

During an OTA session last week, QB Tyrod Taylor is asking for a return throw from Marquise Goodwin, who is out by the far sideline. Goodwin throws a high arcing ball back to Taylor, who asked for a throw back with his right hand.

The ball which is approaching on Taylor's left is going to land slightly in front of him. So Taylor uses his glove-covered left hand to snare the ball down in front of his knees with his palm up using only his fingertips.

CHAMPION: WATKINS

Last summer in training camp Sammy Watkins was turning in receptions with a high degree of difficulty almost every day, but the one that was widely considered his best was a one-handed catch in which Watkins fell down, regained his balance, and snared a line-drive throw for a touchdown.

Both are pretty tough to pull off, and Watkins' catch is happening at close to game speed. Which one do you believe is the better grab?
