Tyreek Hill hauled in nine receptions against the 49ers in the Super Bowl on Sunday, but his head coach Andy Reid made a bigger catch just two days later. At the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory parade in downtown Kansas City, Reid snagged a pass from a fan while atop a moving float.

Reid's snag was no exception to social media's one-handed catch protocol, as footage of it rapidly flooded the web. In the wake Reid's viral fame, Hill gloated on behalf of his coach's hands with a funny tweet.

Hill's Tweet incited a number of generally positive reactions from fans. However, several opponent's on Hill's stance have cited Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson's similar one-handed grab of a full beer can at the Eagles' Super Bowl Parade two years ago.

Pederson, a disciple of Reid as one of his former assistants, also made his one-handed catch atop a moving float. Perhaps Hill's argument should have been extended to only exclude coaches outside of the Mike Holmgren coaching tree.
