At only 23 years of age, former LSU and current New York Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. has already established himself as one of the best pass-catching options in the NFL.
This premise can be backed up confidently with one single stat: catches. On Sunday against the Redskins, Beckham Jr. became the fastest NFL player to reach 200 catches. He needed just one heading into Sunday’s contest, and was able to accrue that early in the game.
Odell Beckham just became the fastest #NFL player to reach 200 catches (30 games). Who's record was it? Jarvis Landry. He did it in 33 games

It took Beckham Jr. 30 games to reach 200 catches. Ironically enough, he broke the preexisting record set by his former college teammate and current Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry.
Although LSU has struggled immensely in terms of its quarterback play, the wide receivers seem to translate exceptionally well to the next level.
