New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. easily made the NFL 100. Find out where Beckham ranked amongst the best players in the league today.

Three years into his professional football career, Odell Beckham Jr. may already be the best wide receiver in New York Giants history. Amani Toomer may hold the all-time records, but Beckham is playing at a level that was previously unseen.

As the NFL 100 rankings come to a close, the sensational start to Beckham’s career has resulted in his surfacing as one of the Top 10 players in the NFL.

Beckham Jr. has earned his status as one of the most exhilarating players in the NFL today. Between his awe-inspiring catch radius and his all-time production, Beckham puts on a show every time he takes the field.

On the strength of the torrid pace that he’s maintained to begin his career, Beckham was ranked as the No. 8 overall player on the NFL 100.

Beckham is the fourth of four Giants on the NFL Top 100.

Beckham finished the 2016 season with 101 receptions, 1,367 receiving yards, and 10 receiving touchdowns. In turn, he joined John Jefferson and Randy Moss as the only three players in NFL history to record at least 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in each of his first three seasons.

Beckham Jr. also became the fastest player in NFL history to reach 3,000 receiving yards—and he’s currently at 4,122 through just 43 games.

Coupled with the wow factor of his style of play, Beckham was an easy selection for the players to make at No. 8.

Since Beckham came into the league in 2014, he and Antonio Brown have tied for No. 1 in the NFL with 35 receiving touchdowns. In 2016, Beckham tied for the league lead with six receptions of 40 yards or longer.

Beckham already ranks in the Top 15 amongst players in Giants history in receptions and receiving yards, as well as No. 5 in receiving touchdowns.
