Odell Beckham Jr.

The one and only offensive player to make this list is superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Arguably the most explosive player in the NFL, Beckham continues to produce at an elite rate in an otherwise erratic offense.

As a result of what was yet another unforgettable season in New York, Beckham was named to the All-Pro Second Team.

Beckham finished the 2016 NFL regular season with 101 receptions for 1,367 yards and 10 touchdowns. It was the first time in his NFL career that he recorded at least 100 receptions and his third consecutive season with at least 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns.

For perspective on just how impressive that is, Beckham is the third player in NFL history to have at least 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in each of his first three seasons.

Beckham ranked No. 7 amongst wide receivers on Pro Football Focus in 2016. He was No. 3 in the NFL in receptions and receiving yards, and No. 5 in receiving touchdowns—a stellar combination of rankings that inevitably earned All-Pro recognition.

Beckham will now have an opportunity to shine in the playoffs for the first time in his career. Congratulations on the honor and best of luck on the big stage!
