Odell's NFL rookie year and
At the beginning of the 2014 NFL season, Odell was out for 4 games due to a hamstring injury. He made his debut in October of 2014 against the Atlanta Falcons in which he made 4 receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown. And the rest of Odell's season was outstanding as a rookie. -
The Catch
During a game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, Odell had 10 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown. But in my opinion, that night was the highlight of his career (so far) which was an amazing one handed catch with 3 fingers, layed out in the air STRETCHING out to make the catch for a touchdown. And that catch was named catch of the year and once again in my opinion, the greatest catch in NFL history so far. -
