Ex-LSU Stars Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry Set Reception Record

Former LSU Tigers wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry have been dominant NFL offensive stars since the moment they joined the NFL in 2014.

Ex-LSU Stars Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry Set Reception Record

Now, both wideouts have just made history by setting a reception record together.

The pair boasts 288 catches apiece, tying each other for the record for most receptions in the NFL in a player’s first three seasons.

In addition to these 288 catches, the duo also currently holds a combined total of over 7,000 yards accompanied by 48 touchdown receptions.

Beckham’s statistics are even more impressive when you account for the fact that he missed multiple games in his career due to suspension and injury. The New York Giants No.12overall pick of 2014 has 4,122 yards and 35 touchdown receptions. The youngster has even made a few impressive one-handed catches in both practices and games.

Of course, Beckham, 24, has also made a name for himself in the NFL as a hot-tempered player who is prone to getting into arguments with both opponents and officials, behavior that has cost him penalties and fines.

Beckham and Landry, also 24, are currently tied for 17th in career receptions in a player’s first four seasons, trailing only Anquan Boldin by 54 receptions.

When asked about the Giants receivers partying in Miami this week, Beckham said he was more focused on the upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers.

Both ex-Tigers will compete in the playoffs this weekend, when Landry and the Miami Dolphins face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Beckham and his Giants travel to Green Bay on Sunday.
