I see high school football players making catches fully extended all the time. It is not an "innate skill" it is a very basic skill learned at an early level. Basketball players do it. Baseball players do it.
Seriously, how many times do you see an athlete leap as high as he can and then fall back down as the ball flies out of his reach. It is pretty rare.
