EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- When you put up the kinds of numbers Odell Beckham Jr. has during his first two seasons, you can make people forget a lot of things. Like, how you missed huge chunks of offseason prep time for both of those seasons due to hamstring injuries.

Beckham was injured around this time each of the past two years. Hamstring injuries in 2014 cost him much of the New York Giants' offseason program, all of training camp and the first four games of his rookie season. Yet, he still managed to catch catch 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns to win Offensive Rookie of the Year...

and maybe Cruz should help OBJ.

Time will tell.

help OBJ's numbers -- Shepherd/Davis/Other may receive MORE passes if Eli trusts them more than Randle/Harris last year.

But it'll help the team.

Well

traditionally, the third year has been the year receivers blow up. But in recent years that hasn't mattered so much. Will be interesting to see if he can stake out a claim as the undisputed number 1 receiver in the game this year. Currently he's one of the best.

better meh...

...I want him to play smarter and harness his emotions to the detriment of his opponents.
