Patrick Mahomes left stunned by jaw-dropping flag football catch
Patrick Mahomes was left stunned on Saturday by an incredible catch in a flag football game. The 2025 NFL Flag Championships were broadcast on ESPN, and Brysen Wright of Jaguars Elite produced a true highlight reel moment which ultimately went viral online. With three defenders trying to stay with him, Wright found a little space in the endzone and stretched to make a jaw-dropping catch with just one hand. Wright was able to complete the catch as he fell to the ground, and the play was posted by the NFL to X - where it was marveled at by Mahomes. 'Yooo what?,' he replied with three laughing-crying emojis. The video has racked up 3.6million views on X as of Saturday night, as broadcasters Tom Hart and Jordan Rodgers were shocked by it as well. And Patrick Mahomes was left stunned by the play after watching it online 'I'm not sure I have seen a better catch, period,' Hart said. 'Tom, we have called a lot of games together. That is the best catch I have ever seen in-person,' Rodgers replied. Flag football is set to debut at the Olympics in 2028 with both men's and women's divisions. And NFL owners recently approved a resolution allowing the league's players to suit up in the sport. While Mahomes said in May that he'll 'probably leave [flag football] to the younger guys,' there has been speculation that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts could participate after the NFL ran a commercial of him lighting the Olympic torch. 'It's an incredible honor for any athlete to represent their country in the Olympics, which is the pinnacle of global sport' commissioner Roger Goodell said after the resolution. 'I know first-hand that the inclusion of flag football in the Olympics has sparked a tremendous amount of excitement among NFL players interested in the chance to compete for their country on the world stage. We are thrilled that they will now have the chance.' Wright, meanwhile, seems to have a bright future ahead of him in football as well. The class of 2028 wide receiver out of Jacksonville, Florida has already received a slew of college offers, including from schools like Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Texas, and Ohio State.

Watch: Receiver Brysen Wright makes spectacular, leaping one-handed catch for Jaguars Elite in NFL Flag Championships
Brysen Wright is a name we might be seeing plenty from in the near future in college football and perhaps the NFL someday. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound receiver provided arguably the highlight play of the weekend (Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. might have something to say about that) during the 14U quarterfinals of the NFL Flag Championships in Canton, Ohio. Wright, playing for the Jaguars Elite 14U, split three defenders on a flag route for a jump ball in the end zone. He snared the ball with a one-handed backhand catch and held on for the touchdown from quarterback Dalton Motes. No doubt about "process of the catch" on this spectacular reception versus the Ravens from Long Island, New York. One-handed catches are a somewhat regular occurrence in college football and the NFL since Odell Beckham Jr. announced his arrival with a leaping right-handed grab on a deep ball from Eli Manning in 2014. Even Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was impressed after seeing Wright's catch, posting "Yooo what?" on social media. The touchdown wasn't the only amazing catch Wright made in Saturday's game. In the second half, he made a back-shoulder reception down the right sideline, reaching back with his left hand while bracing himself against the turf with his right hand. Additionally, Wright may be developing into the next Travis Hunter, a player who can dominate as both a receiver and a defensive back. Playing safety, Wright snared an interception while covering the middle of the field. That helped maintain the Jaguars' 18-13 lead late in the second half. The Jaguars went on to defeat the Ravens, 24-19, and advanced to Sunday's championship round where they will face the Bills from Clifton Park, New York. To no surprise, Wright is currently considered a four-star prospect by Rivals for the 2028 recruiting class out of Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, Florida. He has received offers from many of the top programs in the nation, including Ohio State, Texas, Alabama, LSU, Miami (Florida), Florida, Florida State, Auburn and South Carolina. The 14-year-old may have set the bar for what to expect from NFL players competing in flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

A Jaguars flag football player stunned even Patrick Mahomes with this all-time catch
Jacksonville Jaguars Elite flag football player Brysen Wright pulled off one of the most spectacular catches you're probably ever going to see. Wright, a wider receiver for the Jaguars-sponsored 14U flag football team, made an absolutely jaw-dropping, gravity-defying circus grab during Saturday's 2025 NFL FLAG Championships in Canton, Ohio. It's the kind of catch that reminds you of Odell Beckham Jr.'s historic Sunday Night Football grab. It's that great; it's like a deleted scene from a Matrix movie. It's really not clear how in the world this kid caught this football. Unsurprisingly, Wright is actually a highly recruited wide receiver from the Class of 2028 out of Jacksonville's Mandarin High School. He's got offers already on the table from schools like LSU, Texas, Florida and North Carolina. Even Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was amazed by this unbelievable highlight. We can't wait to see this kid in college football and perhaps even the NFL one day.
