Once again we are shown that Kevin Walter has hands like a tree frog.

...up at the top theres a name that wont surprise many Bears fans but may surprise many others. Earl Bennett, with just four drops from 127 catchable balls, has the lowest drop percentage of just 3.15%. That wasnt much better than the ever-excellent Larry Fitzgerald who continues to show remarkable consistency with his hands, dropping an average of three balls each season and just 3.27% of catchable balls. Behind him are less-heralded players like Kevin Walter and Lance Moore, while San Diego fans will be happy to see Malcom Floyd with the fifth-lowest drop percentage, and new signing Robert Meachem down in 11th.
Catching the ball isnt the be all and end all when it comes to receiving. You need to be able to get open and make things happen after the catch. But, fundamentally, if you dont secure the ball then your route running is wasted, and you dont even get a chance to find your way for extra yardage.
- much respect for former Texan Jabar Gaffney (number 7 on the list)
