Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas made a spectacular one-handed catch during his NFL preseason debut against the Washington Commanders on August 14, 2026. Despite the Dolphins' 20-7 loss, Douglas's acrobatic reception has garnered significant attention.
In the second quarter, quarterback Malik Willis targeted Douglas on a back-shoulder pass. Despite tight coverage and defensive pass interference, Douglas extended his right arm to secure the ball with one hand, drawing comparisons to Odell Beckham Jr.'s iconic catch. This play was highlighted by NFL.com as a "Can't-Miss Play."
Douglas, a third-round pick from Texas Tech, has been noted for his athleticism and catching ability. His performance in this game, including the highlight-reel catch, suggests he could be a valuable asset to the Dolphins' receiving corps.
While the Dolphins' offense struggled overall, with only one touchdown, the connection between Willis and Douglas was a bright spot. Analysts have praised Douglas's potential, and fans are eager to see how he develops throughout the preseason.
