    I felt old while explaining to my younger cousin who obj is. I still remember not only “the catch” but his whole giants tenure like it was yesterday
  • @zionnewkirk4838
    Didn't know Shaq was Odell's godfather. You learn something every day!
  • @mmclaurin8035
    Injury robbed him of at least 5,000 receiving yards. He'd be a HoF'er for sure.

    People who say “OBJ’s career was off of one catch” have no idea what they are talking about.

    Odell Is himmm man I promise you he is gonna have a great year playing with the Dolphins! I'm looking forward to it

    As a Giants fan, Odell was something else in his prime. Sad people overlook him now as if he wasn’t HIM a couple years back.
  • @kingjay9929
    He was really good with the Giants and if he continued on the early trajectory he was on he coulda been a HOF. It’s sad to see the toll injuries took on him. At this point in his career he is a fringe WR2 at best and would be a really good WR3, which is why Miami is probably the best spot he could’ve landed in.
  • @DanieljWitt
    Haters will always say he was made off one catch, but bro was a top 3 receiver for 5 years, and a top 10 for about 7 years. You can take away “the catch” and he still has a crazier highlight tape than any WR from 2014-2019. And no matter how bad people want to hate, Odell has a great shot at the hall of fame when taking into account his career stats, historical presence, and Super Bowl ring. You are denying facts if you think he doesn’t have a shot at the hall of fame. If he finishes his career strong and adds on some numbers and a playoff run or 2, he’ll be a lock.

    I live in Europe but that catch by OBJ made me fell in love with this sport!
  • @johnnymcarr
    The fact I’m wearing an OBJ ravens Shirt today makes this video great timing 😂
  • @kingklutch1373
    One of the top receivers when i moved back to america and watched football again, wore my favorite number, and created one of the greatest moments in sports history with the reach back 3 finger catch. His prime was crazy
  • Don't forget that Odell Beckham Jr is the only Wide Receiver in the NFL to play with all 3 Quarterbacks who was drafted 1st overall Eli Manning Baker Mayfield and Matthew Stafford plus he played with 2 Heisman Trophy Winners Mayfield and Lamar Jackson too 2:20
  • @RedTopGhost320
    Idk if the injuries derailed his career or the trade derailed it but OBJ had the potential to be the best WR in the league during that era. Never really heard of him before that catch but after seeing many highlights of him, he really was talented beyond words & that goes without saying. I wish he made a comeback cause of how talented he is but he kept declining over the years. Still hope he makes a comeback somehow
  • This gave me so much nostalgia he was my favorite player in sports at his time and def lived up to the hype like nun ive seen before! Media and injury kilt him tho!
  • @nvm9040
    OBJ definitely was a beast in NJ plus he had the one handed catch With the giants he was probably top three to five WR
