3. Odell Beckham Jr., New York Giants

Age: 24 (11/5/1992)
2016 Season Statistics: 16 games played, 1,367 yards, 10 touchdowns
Career Statistics: 43 games played, 288 receptions, 4,122 yards, 35 touchdowns

One could easily make a case that no wide receiver in New York Giants history has been better than Odell Beckham Jr. Amani Toomer may hold most of the franchise’s receiving records, but Beckham is a legitimate superstar.

In just three seasons, Beckham has provided statistics that even the league’s elite wide receivers have struggled to rival or produce.

Beckham recently joined John Jefferson and Randy Moss as the only players in NFL history to record at least 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in each of their three first seasons. That puts him in rare territory, but it only scratches the surface of his brilliance.

Beckham is one of 10 players in NFL history to record at least 90 receptions, 1,000 yards, and 10 touchdowns in three consecutive seasons—no matter their experience.

One could make a case that no player is better at taking short passes and turning them into big gains. Whether it’s a bubble screen, a slant route, or a throw into traffic, the Giants can rely upon Beckham to consistently create something from nothing.

If the Giants can extend Beckham long-term, the move would entail receiving all-time production for years to come.
