Many wide receivers make impressive catches, and Odell Beckham Jr. has compiled a highlight reel of spectacular grabs. But this season especially, what has set Beckham apart is not that he holds onto the football. It’s what happens after the ball is in his hands.
Beckham’s first catch of the season, in Dallas, was a route up the sideline for 45 yards. Eli Manning’s pass traveled 28 yards, and as a sign of things to come, Beckham tacked on 17 more after the catch.
