Odell Beckham Jr. has made a brand out of himself in the NFL, especially because of his phenomenal five seasons stay with the New York Giants. OBJ was played college football at the Louisiana State University before being drafted in the league by the Giants in 2014. He is definitely the most popular wide receiver in the NFL right now.

OBJ has broken numerous records during his tenure with the Giants. He became the fastest player in NFL history to reach both 4,000 career receiving yards and 200 career receptions in 2016. Although he owes much of his fame to the rib tickling and mesmerising one handed grab which shook the world to the core. And being a popular icon of the sport, his net worth is bound to be more than any other receiver in the league.
