Better one-handed catch: Greg Jennings' or Larry Fitzgerald's?
As impressive as Jennings' was, I give the nod to LF's, as it was a true one handed catch (he never touched with his other arm). He began to close with his left arm, but then made a conscious decision to keep his left arm free to brace his landing.
Jennings stopped the ball with his left hand, but then brought it in to his body and caught it with both up against his stomach. That said, the velocity on the Jennings grab was definitely higher, making it more difficult to fully control with just one hand. Also, I'm not 100% convinced Jennings' was a catch (I have a feeling it bobbled against the ground when he landed on it) but there was no video angle to dispute it. LF's was clearly a clean catch.
