3. Odell Beckham Jr. vs. Velociraptor

Fighter Statistics

OBJ: 5-foot-11, 198 pounds

Raptor: stood 2-feet high, weighed approx. 35 pounds

Advantages

OBJ: raw speed, leaping abilities

Raptor: great at stalking, stealthy

Disadvantages

OBJ: pouts, has a thing for nets

Raptor: extinct, overrated

Over the course of his young career, OBJ has wasted no time in making his presence felt in New York and elsewhere. He has hauled in some bizarre passes that had no right in being caught – whether at LSU or on the New York Giants. But like most humans, he has shortcomings, which were on full display during the 2016-17 NFL season. The kind of attitude he showed earlier in the season won’t fly far with his ancient opponent, the velociraptor.

Naturally, raptors were born with a small frame, which helped out a lot in terms of dinner time and chasing down prey. Though OBJ has proven his agility, a slight misstep could cause him to fall into a death trap. And even though OBJ likes to climb the vertical ladder, that, too, wouldn’t fare too well, considering the velociraptor was an inept climber. What a thrilling fight this would be if it had taken place in prehistoric times, but even so, OBJ would probably not have a single opportunity taking a swing at the infamous lizard dino.

Dinosaurs do, in fact, rule in this example.
