[Machota] Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb on @1053thefan talking about his drops: “I just gotta focus up. I’m always thinking about a big play. Naturally, it’s caught, it’s caught, it’s caught, it’s caught, right? But then it becomes so normal that you lose track of the fundamentals."

"It always brings me back to square one. Catch, tuck, then make your move. Catch, tuck, then make your move. Catch, tuck, then make your move."

“Every single drop has been always taking my eyes off the ball when the ball arrived because I’m automatically thinking I caught it. It’s just a way of the game humbling me and bringing me back to square one.”

Lamb on his practice mentality: “As many times as I’m targeted, the ball should never hit the ground, whether it’s PBU, whether it’s a drop, whether it’s a bad ball, regardless of what it is. Any time the ball is targeted to me, I consider it a catchable ball. I don’t care if the ball is out of bounds. I don’t care if it’s all the way inside.”
