Beckham reflects on iconic grab: 'My career is much more than 1 catch'

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. became a national sensation with an iconic one-handed catch against the Dallas Cowboys precisely four years ago. It's a grab that some have described as the best catch of all-time, but Beckham, now in his fifth season, wants to be remembered for more than just that spectacular reception.

"It's bittersweet because I think my career is much more than one catch," Beckham said Friday, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. "But it was a very iconic moment and just a prolific moment in my career. I don't mind getting tagged on Instagram and seeing a bunch of nice catches. It gives me motivation to do something crazier."

Beckham has since established himself as one of the NFL's marquee wide receivers, earning three consecutive Pro Bowl nods from 2014-16, and was rewarded with a five-year, $95-million extension in August. However, despite his prolific track record, Beckham can't escape his memorable catch.

"Honestly, any time some one-hand catch comes up, anything happens comes up and you hear the talks. It's funny when people are like, 'He's only this one-handed catch, blah, blah.' Yet any time a catch happens, I'm compared to it," Beckham said. "It was a moment that obviously changed my life forever, for better or for worse, whatever you want to call it. It changed my life.

"There is no way that I can ever forget about that moment. I can tell you, I remember the smell of the stadium. I can remember it all. So it's a very special moment."
