Was at work and had some time to think about this one(mailman thoughts),who had the best hands of all time? I know it could be subjective but there's lots of video proof out there. I'm not quite as old as some here but guys like Stegall,Edwards,Cahoon,Stala, Fantuz...I'm probably missing a bunch but post away!

Herm ("Ham hands") Harrison 

Met him once at a CFL Alumni charity slo-pitch event in Winkler.....one of the nicest human beings I have ever met, and an absolute giant. His hands really were just massive...block out the sun.

In all seriousness I don’t think I ever saw Milt Stegall drop a football until his last season. He was just that good. 

And the odd one he did drop you know he scolded it and said it wasn't ready to be caught and his body is his temple, he is the best looking person around and and and . . . 🙂

George McGowen....

Oooh. I like this one.

Joe Pop made a living catching Brock heaters in heavy traffic for first downs.  The first pick of my 13-year-old self.

I'll always remember the note of disgust in Knuckles call on that play.

"He dropped it.  He just. dropped. it."

Solid list right there. Good on you for Hal Patterson and Tom Scott, missed that pair. 

RB/SB Craig Ellis one of the receivers on my list caught over 100 passes twice with the Riders & Edmonton.

I forever will remember that call burned in my mind.    

In fairness that tone in his voice came back during the Kelly till Burke era many many times in the games.

I truly felt good for Knuckles after GC107, after having to polish so many turds for nearly 30 years.... was so nice to see him get a ring from the team. Man, he earned it...
