OBJ TD
That equates to Odell Beckham Jr. with a TOUCHDOWN — OBJ TD. Now it’s only Giants practice (we’re talking about practice ~ AI), but at least your first round draft choice is showing some signs of life. According to the BLUE bird, Odell Beckham finally figured out how to practice scoring in the NFL:

How did the OBJ TD Happen?
"“It was an in-cut,” Beckham said. “I kind of had to read the defense to decide what I wanted to do. I just made the in-cut. Painter threw it, I just tried my best to catch it and get in the end zone.”"
What’s OBJ up to today?
Our Lead Writer James is out at Giants camp with some thoughts on various topics. He tells us how Eli Manning started the day and exactly what OBJ is doing in camp this afternoon. James is reporting live from his personal twitter (@bigbluebloggers) account as well as manning the GMEN HQ Twitter:
First snap and Eli drops it. Hope this doesn't set the tone for the day #nyg @gmenhq

Way to go James
Just kidding. If James ends up with some footage, we’ll get it today. For now, relish in the idea that your first round pick is on the field, the atmosphere is exciting and — for the moment — it seems OBJ may be getting past his hamstring issue. However, it’s obvious the Giants are going to proceed with caution as their running the talented rookie with the back-ups.
