Odell Beckham Jr. is celebrating his 24th birthday on Saturday. In the afternoon, the New York Giants wide receiver shared this very nice happy birthday video from Neymar. Beckham wrote, "Neymar man I appreciate that fam!! Bless!!"

It's a sweet gesture from the soccer star to the American football player who once said that he could have been as good as Neymar had he stuck to soccer.

Beckham still dabbles in soccer, as well as several other sports. This past summer he spent time practicing with Bayern Munich during his trip to Germany.

Shortly after midnight on the East Coast, Beckham also shared this reflective birthday message from himself:

Through the ups and downs… the trials and tribulations… I always take the good with the bad and smile no matter what because I know God has a special plan… This is to 24 years of life #ThankYou #ScorpioSZN

Happy birthday, Odell!
