No-one will forget the name Odell Beckham Jr. in a hurry.
And it seems that the gaming experts over at EA Sports respect a moment of magic as much as the next guy. Well, they’ve wasted no time in boosting the New York Giants’ wide receiver’s stats on the popular video game, Madden NFL 15.
Just in case you’ve been living under a rock this week, here was the absolutely outrageous piece of improvisation that has ensured Odell will go down in American Football history.
What’s even better is that he knew he had this in his locker. Speaking after the game was released, Beckham Jr. admitted that he thought his catching stats should’ve been considerably higher in the game.
Sure it only took the unthinkable to get the folk at EA Sports to react. Odell’s stats have all seen a boost this week in the game with his catch rating hitting the ceiling and his ‘spectacular catch’ trait going right up to 99, rather fittingly.
