EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Odell Beckham Jr. today received a pair of awards from the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA), which could be the start of an honors-filled offseason for the Giants' record-setting wide receiver.

The 12th overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft from LSU, Beckham set franchise rookie records with 91 receptions for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns in only 12 games. His 108.8 yards-per-game average was a Giants record and the highest figure by a rookie in NFL history. He led the league in receiving yards in each of his last six contests, the longest streak ever by a NFL rookie. Beckham had 130, 143, 148 and 185 yards in his last four games to become the first NFL rookie to have four consecutive 100-yard games since Pittsburgh's Jimmy Orr in 1958. He also had 10 or more receptions in a game four times, the first rookie in NFL history to accomplish the feat.

Beckham is the first Giants player to be selected Offensive Rookie of the Year. He was the only Giants player selected on the PFWA's All-Rookie team. The other receiver on the team is Tampa Bay's Mike Evans.

St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who led all NFL rookies in sacks with 9.0, was selected as the 2014 Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Beckham is one of five finalists for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year Award, which will be announced in Phoenix on January 31, the night before Super Bowl XLIX.
