The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France, has served as a scouting platform for football fans, who have seen a handful of female rugby players they want NFL teams to sign.

Team USA’s Ilona Maher is one such player, having gone viral after a brutal truck during a game against Japan on the weekend. Two players from the Ireland Olympic team have since joined her as prospects fans would love to have in the NFL.

The players are trending online after combining to pull off an astonishing catch against Great Britain, with one hoisting the other up to make the catch and then pulling her back down before she makes a bad landing.

The catcher was at risk of her pants coming off, too, but everything worked out well. Check it out in the video below:

“Chargers can use her,” one fan observed.

“This the best catch of all time,” another declared.

“Sign both of them!!” someone urged.

“Both of them. The girl that caught her and kept her from falling on her head,” a comment read.

“The one that picked her up, right? Cuz that’s the most impressive s*** I’ve ever seen lol. Held onto her like a small child 😂😂,” a user joked.

“New hailmary meta for NFL,” someone else pointed out.

“Who had the better catch? The one catching the ball or the one catching the person catching the ball?” another fan asked.

“Is there a rule stopping this from happening in the NFL?” asked another.

Olympic Games Catch Isn’t Foreign To Rugby

While NFL fans aren’t used to seeing such receptions in football, players hoisting each other to make catches is pretty commonplace in rugby.

Still, this play from the Olympic Games was impressive because of how badly it could have turned out if the player at the bottom wasn’t strong enough to pull her teammate back down.

Kudos to her.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
