Odell Beckham Jr — Cleveland Browns — Wide Receiver

Odell Beckham Jr’s persona often overshadows what he does on the field.

I get it. The antics can be distracting. Sometimes Beckham is immature.

But he’s still a really good football player.

And the numbers back up that claim.

During Beckham’s six seasons in the NFL, he’s surpassed 1,000 receiving yards five times. The only season that Beckham failed to reach 1,000 receiving yards was in 2017, when he missed the bulk of the season with a fractured ankle.

Beckham led the NFL in receiving yards in 2015. He led the league in receptions in 2016. Beckham also reached three straight Pro-Bowls from 2014-16.

The last two years haven’t been the most fruitful for Beckham, but there’s no denying he’s still one of the most dynamic players in the NFL when he’s on the field.
