Over the last nine months, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. led all non-quarterbacks in jersey sales on the official NFL online shop, according to ESPN sports business reporter Darren Rovell.
Beckham, the 12th overall pick by the Giants, wrapped up a rookie season for the ages last month, finishing with 91 receptions for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns while joining Hall of Famer Michael Irvin as the only players in NFL history with nine consecutive games of at least 90 receiving yards.
But in addition to breaking league and franchise records in 2014, Beckham's notoriety grew exponentially off the field, beginning with the social media firestorm he set off with "The Catch" against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12.
His play drew reaction from Pulitzer Prize-winning authors to fellow NFL stars and NBA legends, including icons Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
Beckham will also participate in the 2015 Pro Bowl on Sunday at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. Our crew will be there to cover the game and the week of festivities leading up to it, so stay tuned to Giants.com.
