I agree re: hammies. Is it so prevalent in the NFL because of weights or something similar. I played basketball in HS and college. I can't remember anyone ever getting a hamstring pull. Lots of sprained ankles but no hammies and only a few knee problems.
I guess you have to define control. The ball moved in his hands. So what. He never lost control and the ball obviously never touched the ground. Receivers often shift the ball around in their possession in order to get a better grip. That doesn't mean that they lost control.
