In the golden era of passing and receiving statistics, where does New York Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. rank in the NFL hierarchy?

The modern era has become a golden age for passing and receiving statistics. Whether or not you believe the players are actually better, stars like Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants are producing in unprecedented ways.

The question is: where does Beckham place amongst the contemporary wide receivers who are rising up the all-time rankings?

There are a number of gifted playmakers in the modern NFL, but only a select few can be fairly labeled as the league’s elite. Polarizing as he may be, Beckham has earned that status in just three brief seasons with the Giants.

That’s inevitably earned him a ranking on the list of the best wide receivers in the NFL today—a Top 5 ranking, to be precise.

In some regards, Beckham has been one of the most prolific young players in the NFL. In others, he’s been narrowly outclassed by his fellow elite contributors who have sustained a level of greatness that hasn’t often been seen before.

Whether or not it’s agreed upon that Odell Beckham Jr. should be ranked where he is, there’s no denying how stellar the New York Giants star already is.
