Villanova QB Daniel Smith just threw one of the most incredible touchdown passes ever

You have to see this touchdown pass to believe it.

We’ve seen some pretty impressive touchdown passes in our lifetime. But Villanova quarterback Daniel Smith might’ve just thrown the coolest touchdown pass ever as Madden football seemingly came to life on Saturday afternoon in Delaware.

With Villanova trailing Delaware 27-13 with three minutes remaining, the Wildcats were in desperate need of a score to keep their hopes alive. And thanks to perhaps one of the luckiest and most improbable plays ever, they were able to — at least for a little bit longer.

Smith took the snap and rolled out to his right, where he was looking for an open man. Just when it looks like he’s about to get tripped up at the 10-yard line, he flipped the ball up into the air and it landed in the hands of Villanova tight end Charlie Gilroy for the touchdown.

It was one of the most improbable plays you’ll ever see — and you have to see it to believe it. Even then, you’ll have a hard time believing it.

People were having a hard time believing what they were actually seeing was real.

That might be the coolest TD pass I have ever seen. Some Cirque du Soleil wizardry. #Denver7 https://t.co/EKKLkGPSYy

Have rewatched this five times trying to figure out how it happened. Real Madden glitch stuff. https://t.co/jqFwWv0sjX

How did this happen? This might be the football play of year for 2021. https://t.co/NXeMbXDunk

While Villanova ultimately fell to Delaware 27-20, we can thank Spring FCS football for the football play of the year.
