Odell Beckham Jr., commonly known by his initials OBJ, is a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins of the NFL. Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Beckham played college football for the LSU Tigers, earning first-team All-American honors in 2013. The New York Giants selected him in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He started the 2012 BCS National Championship Game in his first year playing at LSU and won the Paul Hornung Award after his junior season in 2013. In his first season with the Giants, he broke several NFL rookie receiving records despite missing the first four games of the season due to injury. He became the first player to record over 75 receptions, 1,100 yards, and 10 touchdowns in a rookie season and broke the rookie record for the most average receiving yards per game.

In Week 12 of his first season, Beckham came to national attention when he made a one-handed touchdown catch while falling backward in a "Sunday Night Football Game" against the Dallas Cowboys, which numerous athletes and pundits called the greatest catch ever made. In 2014, he won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In 2016, Beckham became the fastest player in NFL history to reach both 200 career receptions and 4,000 career receiving yards. That same year, he recorded his first 100-reception season and reached the NFL playoffs for the first time in his career after helping the Giants to an 11-5 season record. Beckham was named to the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons and has been named a second-team All-Pro twice. After a stint with the Cleveland Browns, he was signed by the Los Angeles Rams midway through the 2021 season.

He and the Rams went on to win Super Bowl LVI. Beckham spent the 2022 season out of football while rehabbing an ACL injury he sustained in the Super Bowl before signing with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. Beckham was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and attended Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he was a letterman in basketball, football, and track. In football, he played wide receiver, running back, quarterback and cornerback for the Greenies football team. As a junior, he caught 45 passes for 743 yards and 10 touchdowns while also adding three more scores on the ground. As a senior, he hauled in 50 catches for 1,010 yards and 19 touchdowns, joining Cooper Manning as the only two players in school history to record 1,000 receiving yards in a season. In addition, Beckham rushed for 331 yards and six touchdowns, passed for 90 yards and a score, and averaged 30.0 yards per punt return.

He was named to the Times-Picayune 2011 Blue-Chips list and the Louisiana 2A All-State first team as a wide receiver, while he also earned District 9-2A Offensive MVP honors and a spot on The Advocate's Super Dozen.
