Jason Avant is a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles. I know most of you have never heard of him (I have because he played college football at Michigan – Go Blue!), but his name will be quite popular for the next few days because of this catch he hauled in today. The throw by Eagles QB Nick Foles was terrible, but Avant made him look great. [gif via SB Nation]
