When the New York Giants drafted Odell Beckham Jr, they knew they were getting a talented WR and one that might possibly develop in to an elite player, but they've received much more than they bargained for. Beckham has been one of the standout rookies this season, and his breathtaking one-handed TD catch against the Dallas Cowboys this weekend has only added to his growing reputation. With some wide receivers slowing down, many are now asking these questions: is it too early to label Odell the best WR around, and can he become the greatest WR in NFL history?

Social media exploded, with the entire world talking about one man. Yes, the Giants lost the game, but they received so much more than a one-game boost, they've found a receiver that's now proven he's at an elite level. Eli Manning threw deep, and it looked unlikely that Odell would get anywhere near the ball, but he scooped it down with his long fingers and fell back in to the endzone, creating a video clip that will forever grace highlight reels.

His own teammate Victor Cruz said "That's the best catch I've ever seen," and on top of that NBA hero LeBron James tweeted "Man I just witnessed the greatest catch ever possibly by Odell Beckham Jr! WOW!!!!"

Beckham Jr, 22, has always worked hard on his one-handed catches, and it paid off, but he insisted: "I guess I have to thank my mom for the long fingers. Hers are maybe a half an inch shorter than mine."

The Giants have an explosive weapon, but how much more can we see from the star WR?
