Got to get back to work. I'll check again in a couple of hours.
No rush to ever submit an answer play your at own leisure.

Seems like this might not be in your wheelhouse.

Edit: this clue I mean, not the game. =)

Pierre Paul is a football player often known for his amazing catches. As a result I’m thinking probably hand + palm + one other.

Yeah. I figured out after a few seconds. Darned “e” names

I could make a case for:

Center - football position
Fair - as in fair catch
Kick - you kick a lot in football
Luck - lucky catches (less likely imo)

Most others seem meh to me

Yeah, I am not the best target for that clue, sadly. I don't really watch or follow football, these days.

And sack.

The question in my mind is "how many words for P-P specifically, and how many for football generally?" Since there are so many football answers possible, and it is unlikely they are all blue, our good spymaster is not likely to lead us into trouble with too many generic football answers.

If he makes a lot of catches, hand and palm are nicely specific. If he is an offensive player, only center really works, but they don't catch. For special teams, fair catch is a good guess. Kick doesn't really fit, specifically. Lucky is good for everybody, but maybe too generic. If he is a defensive back, then he might make a lot of sacks as well as catches. I leave the final call to irtm.

Not to be a nit but we should put the guesses in order prob so they don't get confused since the guess order matters.

Not following, sorry. Do you mean when guessing the order of guesses should be clear?

For the record, I will always order my guesses in normal reading order, if they occur in the same post, paragraph or sentence.

Hmmmm
Kick with toes
March, but then what third to not have it feet or foot.
Butterfly toes but isn’t that web feet? Or butterfly as in swimming but again foot or feet gets those.

Unless not saying feet because that could lead us down another potentially dangerous route of a certain animal

Yeah there's a reason he didn't say feet/foot. I think crow's feet are a thing?

Kick seems lock.

After that I'm not sure. Some combo of scuba diver/march/sloth/butterfly probably, in slight order of preference for me

probably not kick/scuba/butterfly, as that's swim for the clue

The guess that lost us the turn was the second word. So we got our first guess right and lost the 2nd. I just think it avoids confusion since if they put palm first we get 0 and none for hand that turn.
