MG Fox Sports: Garafolo's Sunday Wrap: Panthers unapologetic for win-and-in situation
"3. When I walked into the Giants' locker room one day this offseason and observed Odell Beckham Jr., I thought to myself, "This guy has 'it.'" I had no idea he'd be as successful as he's been this year and would set the franchise record for receptions and receiving yards as a rookie. What I meant was Beckham had the "it" factor -- the looks, the swagger, the hair, the style, the confidence. If he reached his potential on the field, he would be a sensation off of it. That's what's happening right now. The young man is an entertainer with a motor that doesn't stop. He's a one-handed catch machine who brings it with his touchdown celebrations as well. Even when he declined to do "The Whip" after his second score on Sunday, it was entertaining when he ran back to grab the football so he could hand it to the official. That was his response to the flag he got for spinning the ball on his first touchdown. Earlier in the game, Beckham showed good restraint when Rams safety T.J. McDonald got into his face and he didn't respond. Giants coach Tom Coughlin wants Beckham to tone down his act a bit, but here's hoping the old-school coach and the new-school sensation can find a happy medium because Beckham is having fun and he's a blast to watch. (And oh yeah, he plays the piano, too.)"

Powerful and shockingly athletic given his massive (6-foot-8, 275 pounds) frame, Oakman's potential screams top 10 pick."
