In my opinion, Odell Beckham Jr. is one of the best Wide Receivers in this generation and will be up there with likes of Calvin Johnson, Jordy Nelson, and Jerry Rice. “I hope it’s not the greatest catch of all time. I hope I can make more.” This quotes shows that no matter what it takes he’s gonna strive for greatness, he knows that he’ll have to work for what he gets in life and it won’t be handed to him. Just like all the other big Wide Receivers in the NFL now a days, he’ll have to work for what they have and work hard enough to be up there.
