Odell Beckham Jr., the New York Giants wide receiver, is known primarily for his delicious spinach and goat cheese quiches, but also for being pretty good at football. Recently, he became the fastest player to reach 30 touchdown catches in just 35 games since Bob Hayes (but I like baseball, so I don’t know if that’s good … is that good? It sounds good).
