Odell Beckham's jersey from 'The Catch' on display at Pro Football Hall of Fame (PHOTO)

All it took for Odell Beckham Jr. to make it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame was one catch. Let's clarify that. It was the sensational Giants rookie's jersey that has already made its way to Canton.

On Monday afternoon, the HOF put Beckham's game-worn jersey from the night he made his famous catch against the Cowboys on public display. The wideout's second quarter play instantly sent social media into a frenzy and almost broke the Internet.


Some have called the one-handed grab arguably the greatest catch in NFL history.


All the newfound notoriety from the sensational play hasn't slowed Beckham down. On Sunday against the Titans, he recorded his rookie-record sixth straight game with 90-plus receiving yards, and he has 59 catches for 829 receiving yards and six TDs so far this year.

And it's not a reach to say that the talented receiver might one day have a bronze bust next to that No. 13 jersey.

Here's The Catch to refresh your memory:

Close-up of Odell Beckham Jr.'s unbelievable catch makes it even more incredible (PHOTO)

If you didn't see Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. make what is being called one of the greatest catches of all time on dozens of replays Sunday night, you're sure to see it all over ESPN along with the tweets and numerous memes making the rounds on the Internet Monday morning.


Some might say that the only thing that could have possibly made the rookie's acrobatic, one-handed grab of Eli Manning's wayward throw any better would be if The Odell  — as the catch is being called — helped lead to a Giants win.

Not true. When you look at a close-up of Beckham's hand on the play, it reveals something else to be marveled at.



That's correct. Not only did Beckham make a one-handed catch while falling backwards with a defender in the way, but he snagged the football with only three fingers.
