20 animal-human matchups we’d like to see besides Michael Phelps vs. a shark

CLEVELAND, OH – NOVEMBER 27, 2016: Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

13. Odell Beckham Jr. vs. a frog

Odell Beckham Jr. has some of the best hands in the NFL today, and he’s mainly known for one insane catch against the Dallas Cowboys that turned him into an instant superstar in the league.

Beckham has shown some serious skills over his few years in the league, whether it’s his crazy catches in his warm-up routine before a game, or just defying gravity with some grabs in actual games. It’s tough to find anyone in the league that can match his skill, so it’s time to scour the planet for some other ways to find Beckham some competition.

For this match-up, I don’t think Spiderman counts as an animal, since, you know, he’s a human (a superhuman, but still). So for this one, we had to think a little outside of the box, and found a much smaller opponent that’s actually four-legged for OBJ to battle: a frog.

Obviously we can’t just chuck footballs at a frog and expect it to catch them, so we’d have to improvise here. The best bet would be to make up a frog-sized football to make things fair, and see who can make the most catches, or just see who can make the best grabs, in a set amount of time.

For some solid stakes, let’s make this worth it for the frog. Beckham has millions already, and the only thing for him to have injured in this competition would be his reputation and his pride. For the frog, you could have a new NFL star in the making, and you have to treat it as such. To make it interesting, let’s say if the frog wins, he’s the team’s new top receiver for Eli Manning to throw to before the ball gets intercepted.
