Odell Beckham Jr. Becomes Fastest Player to Reach 3,500 Receiving Yards

Odell Beckham Jr. continues to rewrite the record book in his short time in the NFL.

According to NFL Research, the New York Giants wide receiver became the fastest player in league history to record 3,500 career receiving yards during his team's game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday.

It took just 36 games for Beckham to reach the milestone. Hall of Famer Lance Alworth held the previous record of 37 games, while former Minnesota Vikings star Randy Moss—third on the all-time receiving yards list—needed 41 games to reach the 3,500-yard mark.

Beckham, 24, had 1,305 receiving yards in just 12 games in his rookie season and added 1,450 yards over 15 games in 2015.

The receiver set the record in the first half of Monday's game.

He tallied 79 yards before halftime, including this touchdown reception on a beautiful route, as the NFL shared:

Beckham, who hauled in 12 touchdown passes in 2014 and 13 in 2015, is hoping to earn a spot in the Pro Bowl for the third straight year.

In Week 3, he became the fastest player in NFL history to reach 200 career receptions.

While he has drawn plenty of criticism for his antics, including from his own coaching staff, Beckham continues to prove himself as one of the best receivers in the NFL.
