These aren't your average football cleats, but Odell Beckham Jr. isn't your average NFL wide receiver.

And you thought the pink cleats were hard on the eyes.

Beckham's got a history of outlandish cleats, but these newest ones take the cake.

Not to be outdone was Tennessee Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo, who came dressed to the nines with this Christmas-themed suit. (Video via ESPN)
