I've watched this probably 100 times and I just realized he stiff arms the DB while in mid air. HE STIFF ARMS A GUY WHILE CATCHING THE BALL ONE HANDED. I need new pants.
I was in the 10th row, at the 45 behind this shot. Even seeing it from this angle, I still don’t understand how he did it. All I know... it wasn’t an accident.
Yeah, watching this live I remember thinking, “****, that’s a pick” and then realizing it was Viska back there and holding my breath. When he ended up coming down clean with it, I was really confused and then just happy. The major takeaway was that there were probably only 2 or 3 guys in the country that catch that ball.

I tried to find a gif of the shrug celebration, which was a continued move out of this catch, like ‘what did you expect?’, but my internet skills are weak today. that shrug was the icing on the wtf-just-happened cake from stands.

there is so much going on in those fractions of seconds. How do you keep control of your body in mid flight, fight a defender off, catch a ball with your arm in that position, stiff arm defender, and maintain control of caught ball? All this with a few nagging injuries to boot...and a wildcard of a QB.
I thought it was a pick, then I hoped for an incomplete pass...then I was absolutely stoke and amazed for the touchdown.
It was like the game-winning TD at stincoln last year. I was at the game, and couldn’t see what had happened. I thought the play was dead at first, but then I saw the CU section erupt. I saw replays and it was a great catch in double team.
the only ball control issue I’ve ever notice was the KR fumble against the nubs. Maybe a few throws too, but not completely Viska’s fault

Yes, the Raiders signed Marcus Mariota but could they be in the market for their next franchise QB?

Not in the latest 2 round draft for Kiper. If he falls that far he is going to be the steal of the century for someone that can use him right.

WTF?
He had surgery immediately after the combine, then the Covid-19 quarantine hit. If he drops in the draft it is because he hasn’t been able to visit teams to have their medical staffs determine his post surgical progress on top of the fact he has a history of getting injured. Teams know he is talented enough to go in the 1st round, his potential drop is not based on talent.
On a side note, it is quite possible that Tua drops out of the top 10 because of his injury history and his current injury status. It is never good to be injured going into the draft and this is probably the worst year in decades to be injured going into the draft.

Selfishly I hope he slides a bit. Dolphins could end up with Tua, an OT, and Viska with their first three picks.

Word is his interviews were abysmal, as well.
Who? Viska or Tua?
Big Jim
WTF?
He is very introverted.

Who gives a ****? I don't care if you don't know what 3+3 is. Can you play and stay out of trouble, that's all I need to know. I don't need to know how many uses there are for a Godamn brick.
Source? Not doubting you, just would like to see for myself, with such a strong statement.

In all the draft scouting reports and overload of information available to remember to turn on the tape and trust your eyes. Shenault is as exciting a player as I've ever seen play for CU, right up there with Hagan. I've seen some real big time players come through CU but those two are the top of my personal list.
There is not one reason Viska should have not played his freshman season. One of the most unreal talents to ever play at CU and we had a coach who refused to play freshman. He will have one hell of an NFL career if his health can stay in tact. So happy for him and really hope he goes in the first.

It is a tragedy.

Remember when he got on the field briefly for a few snaps and was completely electrifying? I do too. It’s too bad our head coach was too stuck in his ways.
Highly disagree. In poker and working in the car business across the US, I’ve met many front office types. They love highly competitive guys. This is red meat for them.
