EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- There’s no doubt that Odell Beckham Jr. will be on the New York Giants' final 53-man roster. So will quarterback Eli Manning, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, rookie wide receiver Sterling Shepard and 40-something others who are practicing every day at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.
There are, by my count, 33 locks to make the roster. That leaves 20 active spots up for grabs, with lots of interchangeable names capable of sticking.
Forget for a minute the players already written in with permanent marker.
