Floyd shows off his skills

Michael Floyd had the catch of the day in Wednesday's practice.
One of the more impressive moments during Wednesday's West practice in the Alamo Dome was a spectacular one-handed catch made by St. Paul (Minn.) Cretin-Derham Hall wide receiver Michael Floyd.

The 6-foot-3, 200 pound Notre Dame commit hauled a ball in from Parkway City (Mo.) West quarterback Blaine Gabbert that had no business being caught. The ball was completely over thrown, but Floyd jumped up and pulled it in with his left hand.

"I was about ready to tell Blaine (Gabbert) don't worry about it because he over threw him," Jones said. "Then his hand came out of nowhere like Spiderman and brought it down. It was great catch. It was unbelievable.

"I don't know about the kids, but I'm just starting to get those butterflies in my stomach to watch these kids play."
