NFL star Odell Beckham Jr is arguably the most athletic specimen in the entire world. Not only is the New York Giants wide receiver known for some of the best in-game catches the world has ever seen, but he was also a soccer player in high school.
Here he his showing off his skills with a perfectly placed shot on SoccerAM.

He didn't stop there. He continued his media rounds today by visiting Tottenham Hotspur and hanging out with Erik Lamela. They teamed up to try and pull off "The 45-yard drop kick one-handed catch."
Coco's job was to serve an accurate ball off the bounce, Beckham Jr. had to try and catch it with one hand. While the first attempt narrowly went by, the following two were executed perfectly.
As we all know, athletic ability doesn't always translate in soccer, but it appears as if Beckham Jr. is an exception. He's probably satisfied with the career path that he chose, but it sure would be fun to see what he could do in a competitive environment.
