Mini bio
How it started.
Beckham played at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans before joining LSU. Athletic talent ran in the family: his father played running back for LSU, and his mother, Heather Van Norman, was an All-American track athlete there. At LSU, Beckham became a receiver and return specialist, winning the 2013 Paul Hornung Award for college football’s most versatile player.
The catch that traveled.
The Giants selected him 12th overall in 2014. A hamstring injury kept him out of his first four regular-season games, but he finished his rookie year with 91 catches, 1,305 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. His one-handed touchdown against Dallas on November 23 became his signature moment. He won AP Offensive Rookie of the Year and followed that season by winning the fan vote for the Madden NFL 16 cover.
Beyond the highlights.
Beckham helped the Rams win Super Bowl LVI, catching a touchdown before a knee injury ended his night. Away from games, he has invited fans into his life through the Facebook Watch series I Am More: OBJ and his own YouTube channel. Those projects cover training, family, recovery and personal style.
The latest chapter.
After sitting out the 2025 season, Beckham returned to the Giants in June 2026. New York released him in September, and he joined Minnesota’s practice squad in October. His recent work beyond the field includes Bilt’s Rent Free collaboration and a Jams commercial alongside Jerry Rice.
