Hands is so over rated on a receiver, and Odell has some of the best in the league.

But its this that sets him apart. His route running is insane, he just gets open almost every play. His cuts, speed, attention to detail is impeccable nd that is what really impressive about Odell. The flashy one hand stuff is fine, but its like golf. Drive for the Show, put for the Dough. Well one hand for the show, but run routes for the dough.
I disagree with hands being overrated.

Hands are the most important thing for a receiver. Odell adjusts and makes plays with a single hand that others cannot make. That’s part of what makes him special along with his other gifts.

My point is hands are obvioiusly important, but route running, adjusting in the air, quick burst ability, etc.....these are the tings that make a receiver elite.

Hmmm.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the appendix is rather unimportant for a receiver.

OBJ has most certainly overcome it.

This is a taste of the hard-hitting analysis to come, my friends.

Well, obviously there are a thousand other things that are important.

However, you can be talented in all of those other things and if you have suspect hands, you can still flame out of the league.

Andrew Hawkins talked a little about OBJ on the Thomahawk podcast. Specifically, he talked about OBJ adjusting his body and making catches on bad throws that he personally could’ve had 100 tries at and couldn’t accomplish. He’s probably the best bad-ball catcher in the league. In traffic, contested, thrown behind him, thrown high...

I don’t think we’re going to get anywhere saying that hands are overrated for elite receivers. They’re appropriately rated, along with other important features that you mention.

I’m not underselling route running, speed, agility, football IQ, etc... I’m just pretty steadfast in that first and foremost, the job is to catch the football.

Braylon Edwards.

The one year ran good routes and got open he made the pro bowl, TO has suspect hands, Julio Jones doesn't have the best hands.

Anquan Bolden, Colston, Edelman etc...

Lots of receivers with the highest drop percentages, but big body receivers who run good routes and cant be pressed at line are the typical bad hand receivers with good stats
 
This’ll be a fun one to watch develop.
 
Odell Beckham Jr.: Baker Mayfield will be a Hall of Famer; OBJ will help turn Browns into the Patriots

By Mary Kay Cabot, cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Odell Beckham Jr., decked out in a tux jacket with the sleeves ripped off and a kilt at the 2019 Met Gala Monday night, talked as bold he looked in an interview with GQ.

While Freddie Kitchens is trying like whoopty-hell to temper expectations for his talent-loaded team, his players are zooming along on the high-speed hype train. Beckham, who’s been working out on his own so far this offseason, saw enough of Baker Mayfield last offseason in L.A. to carve a bust for him in Canton.

“I would say he’s next, but I feel like he’s now,” Beckham told GQ’s Cam Wolf. “He’s Brett Favre — he’s going to be a Hall of Famer.”

With the addition of Beckham, Giants teammate Olivier Vernon and others, Beckham is in a New England frame of mind.

“I plan on being there for the next five years and trying to bring as many championships there as possible,” he says, “turning [the Browns] into the new Patriots.”

Beckham re-iterated his bond with Jarvis Landry.

“I would take a bullet for him,” Beckham says, “I hope it'd hit me in the arm, but I'd take a bullet for him.”

Beckham admitted he thought he’d be traded to the Browns last offseason, before he signed his five-year extension in August worth up to $95 million. In fact, Landry told cleveland.com in training camp last year that Beckham would love to play for the Browns.

He also acknowledged what everyone knew about him last year in New York.

“Something in my gut … I just wasn’t very happy,’’ he said. “It just became not the right fit.’’

Despite the fact he’s only spent about a day in Cleveland since the trade, he’s excited about what’s to come, and routinely posts photos of himself on social media in his Browns’ jersey.

“I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been in my life,” he said.

Some great points made here, especially by Burleson
 
The annoying part is he wants to turn us into the next Patriots not that we will be. But the media has to make a big deal out of it. Shouldn't everyone's goal be to turn their team into the next Patriots ?
