I likely wouldn't have been matched up with you, when you played WR.  On D, I played DE, sometimes DT, and OLB.

I once caught a pass that went through my hands, hit my face and bounced up in the air, as i was falling down, i reeled it in for a 20+ yd completion, ala Swann in the SB. 

True story

Another time, as i was crossing the middle, a pass was thrown while i had defenders 2 yds apart, in font of me. I jumped between the two, caught the ball, did a 360 degree spin to get away and as they were tackling me, i pitched the ball to a teammate who took it for a TD, ala the hook and lateral from the Dolphins/Chargers playoff game in '81.

Also a true story

Those are actually the only two receptions i can clearly recall from that time, 35+ years ago but i don't remember if we won or lost. I do remember Ron Barth was the QB on at least one of those throws and my buddy John Hornback was on the team as well. 

If you were on D, i would have ran right past you or jumped over you.
