He also averaged 30.0 yards per punt return and ran for 331 yards and six touchdowns. He also passed for 90 yards and one score.In addition to being selected for the Louisiana 2A All-State first team and the Times-Picayune 2011 Blue-Chip list, he was named the District 9-2A Offensive MVP and made The Advocate’s Super Dozen.

He shattered multiple NFL rookie receiving records in his debut season with the New York Giants. He was the first player to collect over 75 receptions, 1,100 yards, and ten touchdowns in a rookie season. He also broke the rookie mark for the most average receiving yards per game.
When Beckham made a one-handed touchdown reception while tumbling backward in a Sunday night football game against the Dallas Cowboys during Week 12 of his rookie season, it went viral and was dubbed the greatest catch ever made by many analysts and players. The 2014 Offensive Rookie of the Year was awarded to Beckham.
He became the NFL’s fastest player to amass 200 career receptions and 4,000 career receiving yards in 2016. After leading the Giants to an 11-5 season record in 2016, he had his first 100-reception season and made it to the NFL playoffs for the first time in his career.

Midway through the 2021 season, Beckham inked a contract with the Los Angeles Rams following a run with the Cleveland Browns.
The Rams and Beckham eventually prevailed in Super Bowl LVI. Before joining the Ravens in 2023, he missed the entire 2022 season recovering from an ACL injury he suffered in the Super Bowl.
