Odell Beckham Jr. reunites with LSU teammate Jeremy Hill

CINCINNATI – Close friendships, fan adulation and football are all braided together in Odell Beckham Jr.’s whirlwind life, and all were a big part of his four-day stay here with the rest of the Giants.

The team practiced twice with the Cincinnati Bengals, their opponents in Friday night’s preseason opener in Paul Brown Stadium. Beckham, who caught 91 passes and was selected the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2014, made several catches in the workouts.

Off the field, it’s likely Beckham enjoyed the week as much as any player on either team.
