When the story of Odell Beckham Jr.’s rookie season is told, there will be a slow beginning – he missed the first four games through injury. That’ll be followed by a winning start, as the Giants defeated the Falcons and Beckham hauled in his first NFL TD reception in his debut.
Then the Giants lost seven straight, but there was one bright spot and oh what a bright spot it was. Beckham made one of the greatest catches the league has ever seen for a touchdown in a loss to the Cowboys just before Thanksgiving.
At the Pro Bowl this week, our Laura Okmin had a chance to catch up with Odell – and his mom – to talk about the catch, his successful rookie year and much more.
