I'll do my best to describe it ....
Bryant and Martellus Bennett were playing catch before practice. Bryant has a good arm (he throws left-handed, by the way), Marty B has a less-than-good arm, although if you were to ask him he would blame a torn rotator cuff from high school.
Bennett threw one back to Bryant; it was a low throw, to Bryant's left., about 30 yards away. Bryant caught the ball, with only his left hand, just inches off the turf. Now, if he'd caught it with his palm facing up (basically cupping the ball), it would have been a nice catch. But he caught it with his palm nearly facing the ground - like you would if you were palming a basketball. Except that he wasn't just palming a football; he had caught a football from 30 yards away, falling to the ground, and he caught it on the top side of the ball. My first thought was, That looked like the Reebok commercial where Chris Chambers is showing off his hands. It was that good. There was a group of fans standing nearby who started chattering about it, and when they saw Bryant still talking about it with Bennett, they yelled to Bryant that they had seen it. Bryant acknowledged them - and was happy that he had witnesses.
The thing that strikes me about Bryant is this: he looks like a kid out there. He just loves to play catch, and he always wants a ball in his hands. You can see the joy he has for football just watching him play around before practice. The more I see him, the more I can't wait to see what he does in games. He has a kid's attitude with grown-man ability.
