PHOENIX – To the surprise of nobody, New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was named NFL offensive rookie of the year.
The dynamic Giants receiver was given the award during the “NFL Honors” show, which the NFL puts on the night before the Super Bowl to honor its players and hand out its major awards. Beckham beat out a very good rookie class, especially at receiver.
Beckham had a great year but really exploded into superstardom with an incredible one-handed catch on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 12. Everyone was paying attention after that.
Beckham, who missed four games at the start of the season due to a hamstring injury (which he said never totally healed, as he had two tears in it) finished with 91 catches, 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns, one of the greatest rookie years in NFL history.
We will update the NFL’s awards as they’re handed out during the night at the Phoenix Symphony Hall.
