Pittsburgh wide receiver Jordan Addison on Saturday had an unbelievable first half for the Panthers against Georgia Tech and one wild catch underscored his performance.

With 8:54 remaining in the first half, Panthers quarterback Kenny Pickett dropped back to pass and threw the ball toward Addison. 

The sophomore star had already fallen to the ground but the pass was on target and Addison somehow managed to make the catch despite being down.

He finished the season with 60 catches for 667 yards and four touchdowns. He was the first freshman to lead the team in receiving since Tyler Boyd.
