Wide receiver: Odell Beckham Jr., New York Giants
Here’s a slight caveat: OBJ will turn 25 in late November. But he’ll still be 24 when the season begins.
And based on the numbers he’s already put up in his career, we can’t ignore he’s the best under-25 receiver in the game right now. A close second would be Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but Beckham rules right now.

In his first three seasons, Beckham Jr. has hauled in 288 passes for 4,122 yards and 35 touchdowns.
Those are just staggering numbers. If he manages to stay status quo and plays for 10 seasons, then OBJ will haul in close to 1,000 passes for almost 14,000 yards and roughly 117 touchdowns — all top-10 or top-20 numbers in NFL history.
And the scary part is that Beckham Jr. can be so much better than he already is. If he cuts down on his drops and manages to learn how to play with a level head, the sky is the limit for this young man.
