Giants new WR coach Tyke Tolbert has an advantage: He knew Odell Beckham Jr. as a newborn

Tyke Tolbert was so excited to see the familiar face that he yelled “Odell!” and ran over to give him a hug.

No, he wasn’t overjoyed to have Odell Beckham Jr. on the field with the Giants in training camp this summer (although that certainly is a plus). Instead, the first-year wide receivers coach for the Giants was glad to be able to embrace Odell Beckham Sr., the father of the Giants’ superstar receiver, who was in the family section at practice last week watching the team go through one of its early workouts.
