Jaleel McLaughlin earned this week’s Shane Co. “Gem of the Week” for his nifty touchdown against the Jets on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High.

Trailing 3-0 in the first quarter, QB Russell Wilson found McLaughlin on a screen pass that the running back juggled and batted to himself before taking it 22 yards for a touchdown.

It was truly a special showcase of athleticism and poise from the rookie, and sent the crowd into a tizzy. Unfortunately, the Broncos would go on to lose 31-21, but McLaughlin appears like he’s going to be a darn good player.

Here’s how the play looked and sounded on Sunday:

This was absurd, @Speedkills2k_ 🤯
