Odell Beckham Jr. has begun taking the NFL by storm this season in his rookie year, and has made some amazing highlight catches. He has a strong work ethic and is looking to become the best, and has been seeking advice from NBA superstar LeBron James and NBA legend Michael Jordan. It may seem strange that he is contacting two of the best basketball players in the history of the game, but greatness can help in any sport.
He made one of the most amazing touchdown catches that the NFL has ever seen earlier this season. That highlight made his name explode across the wide world of sports, and he hasn’t been the same since.
It’s too early to say that he could be one of the best in the game, but he has shown flashes of that potential. If he continues working hard and focusing on improving his game, he should become one of the top receivers in the game. Reaching out for advice from both of these guys is a very smart move, and they will offer him some good advice.

Obviously reaching out to these guys is a huge move for Beckham Jr., and it shows just how mature he is. It’s obvious that he wants to be the greatest in NFL history, and this is the type of thing that is extremely exciting about him.
Through his first 10 NFL games, Beckham Jr. has caught 71 passes for 972 yards and nine touchdowns. Eli Manning has needed a target like him over the past few seasons, and they have developed excellent chemistry. It will be intriguing to see how he continues to improve over the next few weeks, but he certainly looks to have “superstar’ potential.
