Bill Groman was watching the Monday Night Football game between the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins when he heard Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden reference Odell Beckham Jr.'s amazing statistical ledger.
When the ESPN announcers got to the part about Beckham having 24 receiving touchdowns in 25 games, Groman thought for a moment before picking up the phone to call his friend and former boss, Ken Herock.
"Shoot, I had more than that," Groman said.
Groman was Beckham before Beckham was Beckham. According to Elias Sports Bureau research, Groman is the only player in pro football history to have more receiving touchdowns (27) within the first 25 games of his career than Beckham.
