Giants' Odell Beckham Jr. Sets World Record For Most One-Handed Catches

Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr.'s one-handed grab against the Dallas Cowboys last year may have been the most spectacular catch ever, but on Thursday in Arizona he did something no one else has ever done before.

Big Blue's rookie standout teamed up with Saints QB Drew Brees set the Guinness World Record for the most one-handed catches in one minute, snagging 33 footballs.

According to ESPN, Brees and Beckham were recreating a Visa commercial that aired during the football season showing Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald catching one-handed passes from Brees, Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck and San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick.

In order to break the record, ESPN says that Beckham had to catch at least 10 one-handed passes in 60 seconds. They were set to be given three attempts to hit the mark, but Beckham caught every pass Brees tossed his way on the first attempt.

 

"He was throwing them perfect," Beckham told ESPN.

Beckham was so sure handed that Brees actually ran out of footballs before the one-minute mark passed, and the Giants wideout had to pass a few balls back to finish the challenge.

Brees said he figures that setting the record will have "everybody and their mom" trying to break it.

Fitzgerald has already said he is going to try to break the record.
