Odell Beckham has entered rarified territory. We might have to go back to Randy Moss in 1998 to find another wide receiver who dominated at this level in his first season in the league. Beckham was positively transcendent against the Redskins on Sunday, finishing with 12 receptions for 143 yards and three touchdowns in a 24-13 win over the Redskins. This is some special stuff, so we decided to check in with the NFL Media Research Team to get a better handle on Beckham's heroics. They came back with the following nuggets: » Beckham has five 100-yard receiving games this season, the most by a Giants rookie in franchise history. » Beckham finished Sunday with 972 receiving yards, passing Jeremy Shockey (894) for the most for a rookie in franchise history. Beckham did it in 10 games, Shockey in 15. » Beckham has three games with at least 10 receptions, which ties him with (the other) Steve Smith (2009) for the most by a Giants wide receiver in one season. » Beckham is the first rookie in NFL history with at least 12 receptions, 140 yards and three touchdowns in a single game. » Beckham has 61 receptions for 866 yards and six touchdowns in the last seven games. That is the most receptions ever by a rookie in a seven-game span and the second-most receiving yards by a rookie in league history. » Beckham is the first player with 10-plus receptions, 100-plus yards and a touchdown reception in three separate games of a four-game span. On Sunday's edition of the Around The NFL Podcast, Chris Wesseling said the only thing that will stop Beckham from being one of the greatest players in NFL history is injury. A bold statement for sure, but watch Sunday's game tape before you tell Wess he's crazy. |
Many of us criticized the Seattle interception, but my guess is that Beckham had regularly come up with those balls in practice (and now in games as we have seen).
As others have acknowledged, yes it is still very, very early, but I see an LT-like potential with Beckham.
There still is only one LT and how much he changed the game; very, very few players do that and I don't see Beckham going that far. However, Beckham has the potential to be one of the truly great Giants.
As with LT, I find myself finding Beckham on the field and attempting to follow where he is going. Unfortunately, the network feed follows the ball and QB, so it's harder to follow Beckham during the play than LT.
I wish Beckham the best and hope to be dazzled by him for years to come.
Evans also doesn't see the teams #1 CB like Beckham Jr does. He beat up the Redskins, Browns & Falcons.
Really? Talk about trying really hard to find some stat.
As fans we really have been blessed with some excellent WR play in recent years with Nicks and Cruz. We were lucky to have witnessed some incredible plays and performances, like Cruz's breakout game when he torched the Eagles and Nicks simply owning Green Bay in the 2012 divisional. Toomer and Burress were no slouches either. But Beckham, with what he's doing, how's he's doing it, and how early he's doing it, it just screams "special".
He already has. It's Beckham vs Jeremy Hill for OROTY
BTW this is an old article but there where no strong performances last year.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing. However, no on is history has ever done that so...
Was the defense that bad? Four of the starters are in the NFL, though only Ferguson has done much so far.
