Odell Beckham Jr. was one of the best wide receivers in the NFL in the 12 games he played last season, and the New York Giants star could be even better in 2015. He proved that on Saturday night when he went right at one of the greatest cornerbacks of all time.
Beckham caught five passes for 31 yards in limited action in a loss to the New York Jets. He was mostly defended by Darrelle Revis, and that didn’t seem to intimidate the 22-year-old at all. In addition to trucking Revis on the play you see above, Beckham also came close to making a highlight-reel grab over No. 24.

If Beckham stays healthy, he could wind up being the steal of the 2014 NFL draft. Yes, we know he was selected at No. 12 overall.
Most people learned about Beckham when he made one of the best catches you will ever see last season. If Saturday was any indication, there will be plenty more where that came from.
