Odell Beckham Jr.

Position: Wide Receiver
Experience: 3rd Season
Pro Bowl Appearance(s): 3x (2014, 2015, 2016)
2016 Season Statistics: 14 games played, 85 receptions, 1,173 yards, 13.8 yards per reception, 10 touchdowns

If only one member of every team could be named to the Pro Bowl, Odell Beckham Jr. would be the most likely selection from the New York Giants. One could make a case for another player, but no individual is more popular on the Giants’ roster.

For that matter, one could make a similar case that no one is more productive on the Giants’ roster—nor in the NFL, based on the following parameters.

Any time a player’s production is mentioned in the same breath as John Jefferson and Randy Moss, it’s safe to say that they should be heading to the Pro Bowl. Beckham certainly checks the boxes, with a combination of elite numbers and unparalleled entertainment.

Beckham can take the most basic of routes and turn them into explosive touchdowns, and has ball skills that few in NFL history can rival.

Beckham is currently No. 3 in the NFL in receptions and receiving touchdowns, and No. 4 in receiving yards. He had a 222-yard game in Week 6 and continues to surface on highlight reels with his awe-inspiring catches.

Whether you’re a Giants fan or not, there’s no rational way to dispute the belief that Beckham deserves to be a Pro Bowler.
