Puka Nacua can do it all. Catch, block, run sharp routes, take handoffs on jet sweeps. You name it, he can do it.
He can even hop on a wakeboard and catch passes while traveling 17 mph on water if you need him to – not that the Rams will be asking him to do that on Sundays anytime soon.
During the 2024 Pro Bowl Games on Thursday night, Nacua competed in the Best Catch event, going up against David Njoku of the Browns. With Jimmy Clausen as his quarterback, Nacua got on a wakeboard and hauled in a pass while being towed by a boat, making it look easy on only his second attempt.

The winner of the event hasn’t been determined yet and fans can vote on social media using #ProBowlGames, but it shouldn’t be much of a contest between Nacua and Njoku.
Njoku tried to pull off a reception while doing a swinging backflip, but he couldn’t complete the catch and survive the ground water.
Advantage: Nacua.
