New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been named the Associated Press offensive rookie of the year.

Over 12 games this season, Beckham caught 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns.

His most memorable moment of the season came in a Nov. 23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, when Beckham completed a spectacular one-handed, touchdown catch.

He missed the first four games of the season with a hamstring injury and recently said he played the season with hamstring tears.

After starring at LSU, Beckham was selected with the No. 13 pick in the 2014 draft, behind fellow receivers Sammy Watkins and Mike Evans.

Beckham replacedCalvin Johnson in the Pro Bowl.
