EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – It’s Odell Beckham Jr.’s birthday. He’s 26 years old and has put up better numbers at this age than legends such as Calvin Johnson, Terrell Owens and Michael Irvin.
Beckham’s rate of .73 touchdowns per game trails only greats such as Lance Allworth (.91), Jerry Rice (.88) and Randy Moss (.75) at 26. His 5,209 receiving yards is more than 1,000 yards ahead of Rice’s pace. Rice just so happens to be the NFL’s all-time leading receiver by a wide margin.
