Rams Rookie Puka Nacua Wins Best Catch at Pro Bowl Games
Puka Nacua made a lot of impressive catches this season for the Los Angeles Rams, and perhaps his most impressive catch helped the NFC in the Pro Bowl Games.
Nacua competed in the Best Catch competition against Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku, and both guys went into the water in Orlando.

The Rams rookie ended up winning the competition by catching a pass from former NFL quarterback Jimmy Clausen while on a wakeboard. He beat Njoku, who caught a pass from Chad Henne after a backflip.
This win gave the NFC three points in the Pro Bowl Games, which proved to be very big, as the NFC ended up winning by only five points, 64-59. This marks the second straight year that the NFC has come out on top.
Nacua also came away from the weekend of festivities with the Skills Challenge MVP, as he also dominated Njoku in a friendly game of Madden.
The rookie had a very productive weekend, and he will look to do the same in the future. Nacua is only going to improve as he gains experience, and this will hopefully be the first of many Pro Bowls for the young receiver.
