NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Odell Beckham Jr.’s breakout tour continues. New York Giants fans just hope his latest honor doesn’t come with a curse.
Beckham will appear on the cover of EA Sports’ popular video game “Madden NFL 16,” beating out New England tight end Rob Gronkowski in the final round of voting.
Beckham called the honor “mind-blowing” after spending just one year in the league.
“I’m definitely excited, definitely honored,” he said after the announcement on ESPN. “I’m kind of at a loss for words.”
The 22-year-old wide receiver is the youngest Madden cover boy ever, according to ESPN.
