Prince-Wright NBC Sports: Odell Beckham Jr. appears on TV show in England, reveals former dream was to be a pro soccer player
"Has that catch changed how he other teams approach him?"
“Absolutely. I was getting coverages I hadn’t see all year,” Beckham revealed. “I was getting a corner and safety over the top, a linebacker dropping underneath. I almost had three guys spying on me or covering me at the same time. I saw a lot of things I was not expecting to see in my first year but it was good I got that I saw them so early and I will be able to prepare for it next year and the year’s to come.”

Rosenthal/Wessling NFL.com: Top 101 NFL free agents for 2015
5. Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, New York Giants: Finally free from nagging back pain, Pierre-Paul rounded into shape last year. More of a run-stuffer early in the first half of the season, he started torturing offensive tackles in November, recording nine sacks in the final five games. The Giants are fully expected to keep him via the franchise tag
52. Antrel Rolle, S, New York Giants: The weekly hot takes on his radio appearances are more consistent than his pass coverage.
66. Walter Thurmond, CB, New York Giants: Thurmond was a highly effective slot corner in 2013, but that is the only season in which he has stayed healthy.

Paylor KC Star: The Star’s NFL mock draft, version 3.0
9. New York Giants: WR Amari Cooper, 6-1, 211, Alabama
"The Giants would have to think hard about taking Iowa tackle Brandon Scherff, a mauler who I believe best profiles as a guard. He only benched 23 reps at the Combine, but I don’t care about that, and neither should NFL teams; turn on the tape and you’ll see a powerful run blocker who can move people. His presence would allow the Giants to shift 2014 second-round pick Weston Richburg back to center and boost the league’s 28th-ranked rushing offense. However, they just can’t pass on Cooper here. This is a steal that would immediately give Eli Manning an elite receiving corps with Victor Cruz, Odell Beckham, Jr., and Rueben Randle."
