It might even be the worst phrase possible, because the quintessential football move is getting knocked flat on your ass by a 250-pound defender."Making a football move" is a bad phrase which leads to the confusion.
It really is doing something that a ball carrier does after taking possession. The act of making the catch is complete when you start another act, such as running cutting, avoid a tackler, etc.
