Looking for a local angle in the Super Bowl?
You could do a lot worse than Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham's mother is Heather Van Norman, who was born in Windom, Minn., and became a track star while leading Windom High to state titles in 1987 and '88.
She committed to the University of Minnesota before transferring to Louisiana State. Odell was born in Baton Rouge in 1992.
Beckham became a football star at LSU and eventually a mentor to Vikings star Justin Jefferson.
