Beckham met Beckham, and the burgeoning star had a blast meeting the worldwide icon.
On Thursday, Giants receiver Odell Beckham said he met soccer star David Beckham, an idol of his growing up, at a dinner about two weeks ago. He called it a "surreal moment," and tabbed it the highlight of an offseason that's been "everything I could have imagined."
Beckham, who grew up playing soccer, said he had hoped to meet David Beckham ever since age 5.
He said the veteran gave him a little wisdom as well.
"He just told me, ya know, 'you've got to keep the legacy going,'"Beckham said.
