Odell Beckham Jr.

Beckham Jr. has torn up the NFL since making his debut in 2014. He has quickly become one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, setting the bar extremely high. Through two games thus far Beckham Jr. has yet to truly break through with 12 receptions for 159 yards.

Those are way short of the expectations that Beckham Jr. has earned with his stellar play. But he will have some motivation this week, as the Redskins have said their prized free agent acquisition, Josh Norman, will shadow him throughout the afternoon.

Beckham Jr. and Norman had some fireworks last season as any NFL fan knows. They had a combined five penalties accepted against them and Beckham Jr. was handed a one-game suspension for his role. All eyes will be on them throughout the afternoon, and rightfully so.

Working in Beckham Jr.’s favor is his previous success against the Redskins. Beckham Jr. has torched the Redskins through three games, catching 28 passes for 364 yards and five touchdowns. Those are impressive numbers and it will take more than Norman to slow him down.

Will Beckham Jr. be able to keep his cool this time around and continue his success against the Redskins?
