Odell Beckham Jr. quickly became one of the NFL’s biggest stars this season. Now he’ll join those stars at the Pro Bowl.

The Giants’ spectacular rookie receiver was officially added to the Pro Bowl roster on Wednesday when Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson pulled out because of an injury. Beckham, as the first alternate, always knew there was a good chance he’d be asked to play in the game. And he said it’s “awesome” that it’s now official.

“It is something that means a lot to me, and I am definitely going to cherish the moment,” Beckham said. “The goal is to be either in the Pro Bowl or the Super Bowl. That is every year. That is something you want to be able to build on and put that on your resume. (We) didn’t end up making it to the Super Bowl, but I did get the invite to the Pro Bowl, so I am very excited and blessed for the opportunity.”
