New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. has been voted the 2014 Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) “Rookie of the Year” and “Offensive Rookie of the Year.”

During his rookie season in 2014, Beckham caught 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns in only 12 games. His 108.8 yards per game average was the highest figure by a rookie in NFL history. Beckham also led the league in game receiving yards in each of his last six contests, the longest streak ever by a NFL rookie. In addition, Beckham had 130, 143, 148, and 185 yards in his last four games to become the first NFL rookie to have four consecutive 100-yard games since Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Jimmy Orr in 1958. Beckham also had 10 or more receptions in a game four times, the first rookie in NFL history to accomplish that feat.

Beckham is the first Giants player to be selected Offensive Rookie of the Year.
