Ex-Eagles receiver makes impossible, one-handed, 63-yard TD catch for UFL’s Renegades image

It's hard to find a better touchdown catch than this.

Deontay Burnett, who has received NFL chances from the Eagles, Jets and Cowboys, is now playing for the UFL's Arlington Renegades.

And on Sunday, he made an insane play.

Ranging over the middle of the field, Burnett reached up to pluck a one-handed grab out of the sky. Then he sprinted away for a 63-yard touchdown.

That's established spring-football quarterback Luis Perez letting it rip to Burnett.

Burnett was in training camp with the Cowboys in 2024.

He's one of many examples of a guy trying to use the UFL to get his way back to the league.

It's likely that with plays like this, he'll get some kind of camp invite. And maybe he'll pull something like this off on a bigger stage someday.
