By now, everyone has seen the superhuman catch that Odell Beckham Jr. made a few weeks ago against the Dallas Cowboys, but that only scratches the surface of his talent.
Beckham came out of LSU and was a first round draft pick for the Giants, and many draft experts thought he had almost no ceiling on his game because of his athletic prowess.

Since the catch, everyone has started to notice what the young man can accomplish. He has continued to play well on the field, but beyond that, video highlights of his successes in other sports have begun to surface. It really does look like Beckham could succeed at just about anything he attempted, which is just demoralizing for normal people everywhere.
It turns out that Beckham can also dunk a basketball, which comes as no surprise given the leaping skills that he has demonstrated in the NFL to haul in some of his more acrobatic catches. He also boasts a solid golf swing, and he can handle a baseball bat. In fact, he can switch-hit.
DeMarco Murray Pretending Affair Didn't Happen
Beckham lettered in basketball and track while in high school, and he has prodigious soccer skills. There are videos of him performing incredible feats of juggling a soccer ball, which was among his first sports loves. He played the game constantly until he was in his early teens, and he was even asked to try out for the US national team at one point.
He turned down the invitation in order to focus on football. You can hardly fault him for the decision, particularly given how well it has worked out so far, but it is hard not to think about how the US Men's National Team played at this year's World Cup and what kind of difference a freak athlete like Beckham might have made.
