Beckham blows Julio out of the water

Julio is one of only 2 WRs in NFL history to get to 500 career catches in 80 games. He's got the NFL record for rec YPG average over a career. OBJ, while a phenomenal talent, is a straight up head case whose yards per game have gone down every year he's been in the league.

Let see how he compares to Julio when he's 7 years in like Julio is.

I am pretty sure you are full of shite. Beckham had fifteen hundred more receiving yards than Julio after 3 years. That is all Beckham has played so far

Mark Ingram (1st round, #28 pick)
- 6+ seasons
- signed 2nd contract with team that drafted him
- 959 carries (160 per season), 4,255 yards, 4.4 YPC, 32 TDs
- 154 catches, 1,066 yards, 6.9 YPC, 4 TDs
- 5,300 yards, 36 TDs in 6+ seasons
- 1 Pro Bowl


Trent Richardson (1st round, #3 pick)
No stats necessary, massive bust



Eddie Lacy (2nd round, #61 pick (3rd to last pick of 2nd round))
- 4+ seasons
- 1 Pro Bowl
- 1 2nd Team All-Pro
- 2013 NFL Offensive ROY
- 793 carries, 3,438 yards, 4.3 YPC, 23 TDs
- 101 catches, 900 yards, 6 TDs
- 4,348 total yards and 29 total TDs


TJ Yeldon (2nd round, #36 pick)
- 2+ seasons
- 312 carries, 1,205 yards, 3.9 YPC, 3 TD
- 86 catches, 591 yards, 6.9 YPC, 2 TD
- 1,796 yards, 5 TDs in 2+ seasons


Derrick Henry (2nd round, #45 pick)
- 1+ seasons
- 116 carries, 515 yards, 4.4 YPC, 5 TD
- 13 catches, 137 yards, 10.5 YPC, 0 TD
- 652 yards, 5 TDs in 1+ seasons



There is 1 bust in that group and 1 guy moving towards it (Yeldon). In no sense of the word is Ingram a bust and neither is Lacy considering where they were drafted and their production/longevity so far as NFL RBs.
