“Let’s just put it like this – I have the best hands in the NFL,” Newton said. “You can document that. I have film. I really do have film of me catching passes in an actual game. I didn’t drop one yet … that was catchable.”
Newton, who did record two catches at Auburn and had one NFL catch in his rookie season, backed up the talk, posting 51 one-handed catches.
The second objective – longest catch between the legs, current record held by YouTube stars Dude Perfect with 39 yards.
The third objective – furthest blindfolded catch in motion, current record also held by Dude Perfect with 24 yards.
With Newton playing quarterback, both records were broken.
“You are officially amazing,” the Guinness World Record official told Newton.
The crew also took a shot at breaking the record for highest altitude of a football pass caught. That meant dropping a ball 600 feet from a helicopter. Alas, they were not successful.
But three world records in one day? Not a bad day at the office.
