New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is one of the NFL's hottest stars, and his popularity caused a scary scene at training camp Friday.

According to ESPN.com's Dan Graziano, a huge rush of fans to OBJ's autograph session caused bleachers to buckle. The organization released a statement afterward making it clear that nobody was injured:

A portion of a bleacher shifted during the autograph session following training camp practice today. According to Seating Solutions, the supplier of the bleachers, the shift was caused due to an unexpected surge in spectators. There were no injuries reported as a result of that incident, and the fans were immediately removed from the area.

Per Graziano, the situation has prompted the Giants to move future autograph signings to a different area and limit them to children 12 years of age and younger.

Tom Rock of Newsday, who was on hand Friday, witnessed several unnerving incidents amid the chaos, including a woman nearly getting trampled:

Also, a previously injured girl was put into harm's way because of the hysteria surrounding Beckham's appearance:

Beckham has all the makings of a perennial All-Pro receiver after catching 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns as a rookie last season. Because of that, it comes as little surprise that his fans were excited to see him.

That excitement quickly crossed the line, though, and turned what should have been a fun family outing for many into what sounds like a nightmare.

Changing the location and limiting the number of people who get access to autograph sessions are the right moves to ensure the safety of the players and fans.
