Odell Beckham Jr. dazzles in Giants loss, but check out his amazing warmup act

The New York Giants have been waiting for Odell Beckham Jr. to step up for some time, knowing just how special a talent he is.

Beckham caught eight passes for 156 yards in the Giants' 40-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Monday, which included an eye-opening 59-yard grab.

But that was amateur hour compared to some of the sleights of hand Beckham was pulling off pregame.

Seriously. Watch this. In a couple cases, you might have to roll it back to see what exactly just happened.

Beckham might be a wee lad still in NFL terms, but these are ridiculous. Were the fans watching him up heavily sedated? Some of them sitting a few yards away barely react.

The first catch on this reel is insane: a fade pattern to the left corner of the end zone, and Beckham grabs it over his head with his right hand. Uhh ...

And here's a crazy thought, too: Some scouts felt that Beckham's college teammate at LSU last season, Jarvis Landry, actually had better hands.

OK, on with our non-acrobatic-catching lives ...
