Pat Shurmur’s first impression of Odell Beckham Jr. on the practice field Thursday had nothing to do with his catches or his routes or how his ankle handled the workout. What stood out most to Shurmur was Beckham’s Beckham-ness.
The dancing between plays, the constant talking with teammates, and the electricity Beckham brought to the turf on the first two days of training camp impressed Shurmur.
“You see he’s very energetic on the practice field,” Shurmur said on Friday. “He’s fun to be around in practice. Everybody knows him better than I do, but it’s very obvious to me the guy loves to play football.
