After a slow start to the season, Odell Beckham Jr. has been on a tear the last few weeks. The Giants have risen along with Odell, boasting a 6-3 record as we enter the stretch run of the schedule.
As impressive as Beckham has been, he's still not on pace to finish with as many yards as last season. That's not an indictment of his performance in 2016, but rather a testament to how quickly he burst onto the NFL scene in years one and two.
Odell followed up a 1,305-yard rookie campaign with 1,450 receiving yards in 2015. Combined with 773 so far this year, Beckham has become the fastest player in NFL history to record 3,500 receiving yards.
It took Odell 36 games to reach the plateau. The record previously belonged to Hall of Famer Lance Alworth, who needed 37 games to reach the mark.
Beckham set the record while scoring his 31st career TD on Monday night. He utilized a phenomenal double move to create a huge window for Eli Manning to throw in to.
