It's a different skillset. The ball moves in a unique way vs. a pass, because of the arc wind can move the ball in ways you never see from a pass, etc.
Add a significant degree of difficulty when a dozen people are running full tilt at you with the express purpose of taking your head off.
Try this: have someone punt a ball or just throw it on a high parabolic arc, and while you catch it, have half a dozen people charging at you. Give one of them a baseball bat to attempt to simulate the degree of duress you'd experience in a football game.
Not saying it's the hardest thing in sports, because it's not; but it's not the easiest thing either. It takes some extra focus to tune out the mob bearing down on you while trying to get under the ball, get your feet set, and catch the ball, when you can't see the gunners flying at you. Right now Skyy is having problems with that part, and then his mechanics aren't great.
