Odell Beckham is one of those players that can impress his peers with regularity. Whether it's his route-running or wild receptions, other football players just have to stop and take notice. For example, Marcus Greaves played running back for Oregon State University and saw plenty of talented players come through the program. However, none quite made plays like OBJ.

Odell Beckham Jr. is known for many different things. Big plays, one-handed receptions, stellar route-running, wearing extremely expensive watches in NFL games. In week one, OBJ caught heat from the league for wearing a watch that reportedly cost $350K. Well, he upped the ante on Monday night with another classic timepiece.

When Odell Beckham was surprisingly traded during the offseason, the move was met with decidedly mixed reactions. Some were happy to see him gone due to the headache that his "antics" caused. Others, however, were far more upset because of his ability to make game-changing plays at any moment. Instead of trading Beckham, the fans would have preferred to see the team make a very different trade.

Another week and another big play by Odell Beckham Jr. In the minds of some NFL fans, this is nothing new. For others, however, this only proves one thing — there is no way that OBJ is actually a human. He must be a cyborg or something else to make those catches.

When Odell Beckham Jr. makes big catches, there are two main reactions. Those that despise the star wide receiver react with disgust and try to point out the issues with his personality. However, there are other reactions by fans of Beckham. They are just simply so happy that he is making big plays.

Where does Odell Beckham Jr. get his ability to make these wild receptions? Is it the hours of practice, or is it natural ability? Maybe, he is like Samson and has something that gives him power. The character from the Bible had long hair that granted him strength. Maybe Beckham's power stems from those very expensive watches.

With Odell Beckham Jr. making wild plays, it's only natural to worry about those that recently cheered for him. How are the Giants fans doing? Are they happy that Beckham is no longer making plays with the Giants, or are they devastated? The answer is unknown at this point, but it's likely that this debate will rage all season.
