Odell Beckham Jr. Seeking Giants Rookie Record for 100-Yard Games

Bleacher Report MilestonesNov 26, 2014

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has garnered a lot of attention for his spectacular one-handed touchdown catch in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. However, he also tied Byron Williams' team rookie record of three 100-yard receiving games with his performance Sunday, per Art Stapleton of The Record.

Beckham's Sunday receiving line also put him in the league-wide record books, as he became just the third rookie since 1960—and the first since Anquan Boldin in 2003—to record 10 receptions and two receiving touchdowns in a game, per ESPN Stats and Info.

One big factor stands out with Beckham's production thus far: He has only played in seven of the Giants' 11 games. The rookie wideout missed the first four games of the season due to a hamstring injury and debuted against the Atlanta Falcons as the Giants' third wide receiver behind Victor Cruz and Rueben Randle.

Opportunity knocked for Beckham following the Sunday night game against the Eagles in mid-October when it was announced that Cruz was lost for the season with a torn right patellar tendon.

While his first game as a starting receiver only resulted in four catches for 34 yards, Beckham scored two touchdowns in the game. He followed up that outing with four straight 90-yard receiving games, with three of the four eclipsing 100 yards.

With five games remaining, there's nothing holding the LSU product back from making his rookie season even more memorable, as one more 100-yard receiving game will give him the Giants' all-time rookie record.
