Eli Manning rises, Odell Beckham Jr. crumbles when things get tough

He’s faster than a speeding bullet. Quicker than the chicken Rocky Balboa once chased. More graceful than a galloping gazelle. (Do gazelle’s even gallop? Are they even graceful? Actually, what the hell is a gazelle?)

He’s Odell Beckham Jr.—one of the most entertaining playmakers of this NFL generation.

Beckham Jr., 26, is a five-year pro whose accomplishments smashed previous records for a professional wide receiver over a three-year initial start. His abilities could only dare be matched with the likes of Antonio Brown and Tyreek Hill.

Speed, hands, elusiveness—it doesn’t automatically equate to completeness.
