Say, this Josh Gordon knows how to make a debut.
The five-time suspended NFL WR played in his first Fan Controlled Football league game on Saturday and left everyone wide-eyed in amazement.
The score was knotted at 26 between Gordon’s Zappers and the Beasts. A Hail Mary was in order with seconds left.
The Zappers’ prayer was answered at Gordon comes down with the football in the end zone for the victory.
NO WAY!
JOSH GORDON HAIL MARY!!

Gordon went by “Flash” on his nameplate, as the league wants players to build their identities. And the announcers called him such.
Gordon had four catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns and was named the player of the game.
He also made a great TD grab on the Zappers’ first drive.

“I want to come out here and make some plays and have some fun and most importantly be a part of something bigger than myself, bigger than football,” Gordon said in a pre-game interview. “Passing the game down to guys younger than me, guys that might have questions about how the game is played at the next level. If I can impart some wisdom, that’s what I’m going to do.”
He made a catch on the FCF version of the PAT, too. Some salty language on the commentary.
Easy money for @JOSH_GORDONXII.

Vince McMahon could not have scripted a better start — and finish — for FCF, the Zappers, and most of all, Gordon.
