"Watched the ESPN top 10 plays (and) the Marvin Harrison Jr. catch was 4th which (lets) me know someone at ESPN doesn't know the difficulty in having to contort your body," Johnson tweeted Sunday, "(plus) have the awareness to keep one foot in bounds while keeping the other elevated while securing the catch."
