When the NFL chose New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to head across the pond in an effort to help promote the league’s International Series, even they couldn’t have expected the other-worldly response he would receive in Germany.

While local wideout Moritz Boehringer, who was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in Round 6 of the 2016 NFL Draft, had been the apple of their eye, OBJ now appears to have taken over.

In an insane viral video posted by the Giants’ official Twitter page, Beckham Jr. can be seen walking through the streets of Munich as hordes of fans follow and enthusiastically chant his name. It’s telling of the sort of International fame Beckham Jr. has attained in only two relatively short NFL seasons.

At this point, it’s almost safe to say that Beckham Jr. has transcended normal NFL fame and taken a step up to near Royalty-like status. At least in Germany, anyway.

With a soccer heritage and a love for futbol himself, it’s no surprise those around the world have fallen in love with the 2014 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. But make no mistake about it, even with a common affinity for soccer, Beckham Jr. is predominately popular because of his surreal athletic ability, highlight reel catches and unparalleled passion for all things sports.

Given the reaction he’s received in Germany, don’t be surprised if NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the powers that be target the Giants as one of the league’s first two teams to play a game there. And how fitting would it be if their opponents were Moritz Boehringer and the Minnesota Vikings?
