On Wednesday, the injured Giants wide receiver shared an Instagram video to prove just how similar he is to the New England Patriots quarterback. MORE: Odell Beckham Jr. says Tom Brady has different set of rules A post shared by Odell Beckham Jr (@obj) on Dec 6, 2017 at 9:55am PST The video shows clips of Beckham and Brady reacting with nearly identical positive and negative on-field emotions.

He embraced those who helped fans celebrate it. MARVEZ: Beckham Jr. walking a thin line Beckham told Sporting News he made it a point to try and shake the hand of every military member who held the giant American flag at U.S. Bank Stadium prior to Monday night’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. “The line was a little long. I didn’t know,” said a laughing Beckham, who stood alongside the single-file line of soldiers as they exited the field....

Austen Lane knows it from experience. Lane played 29 NFL games from 2010-2013, mostly with the Jaguars, who picked the Murray State defensive end in the fifth round. MORE: Top 15 Combine performances | What really matters at the Combine Beforehand, Lane had to deal with the requisite pseudo-psychological exam/job interview combo. The questions were predictably insane, and to make things even better, delivered by scouts. Yes, NFL scouts are certainly qualified to parse responses to questions like this....

That recent history might suggest there’s still a healthy, 57.5 percent chance for each of this year’s 2-0 teams to end up in the playoffs, but past results can’t predict future performance. Each 2-0 team in a given year is an individual case study. This year, seven teams have started 2-0. Before we play “contender or pretender” — everyone’s favorite sports talk show game show — let’s quickly and honorably mention two more unbeaten teams, the 1-0-1 Packers and the 1-0-1 Vikings, who both look like playoff teams from the NFC North....

All season long, we have targeted strong value plays and high-upside dart throws to find you cheap production. Getting the most bang for your buck is the name of the game in DFS. When you capitalize on affordable sleepers, you leave yourself with plenty of budget to greatly improve other roster spots with proven weekly studs. Let’s face it, in order to afford a Justin Jefferson ($9,100 on DK), sometimes you must invest in the occasional Jaylen Warren ($4,400)....

MORE RANKINGS: QB | RB | WR | DEF Rob Gronkowski, Patriots vs. Ravens. You can make a strong case that Gronkowski should be everyone’s No. 1 target in DraftKings leagues since he’s clearly the best/most-reliable player at his position. That’s why he’s priced at $7,100 and the next priciest TE is Julius Thomas at $5,300. Gronk scored in each of his final three games and posted at least 71 yards in all but one of his final eight games....

LIVE: NFL Draft Day 3 picks Dallas thought it was taking a quarterback for the future in Prescott, but ended up with its next franchise passer in the wake of what was a season-ending and career-curbing injury to then 36-year-old Tony Romo. Pittsburgh, at some point, was bound to get a quarterback to groom too, given 35-year-old Ben Roethlisberger hinted he may not play beyond the ‘17 season. Like Prescott (6-2, 226) at Mississippi State, Dobbs (6-3, 216) starred with the Volunteers because of his arm, toughness and athleticism....

Football is a violent game even when played fairly, cleanly and entirely between the whistles. Mitch Risner needed his son to understand this because he wanted to raise a fine young man. But if that young man wanted to play football, then he’d need to understand the first fundamental of the game. A player must understand the importance of “the switch.” SN’s NFL DRAFT HQ:Tracker | Top 100 big board | TV schedule...

Of course, just because there aren’t many backs taken during the draft’s opening night doesn’t mean there won’t be several impact RBs selected in 2021. Running back has proven to be a position at which you can find value in the middle and late rounds, and rookies of any stature can make immediate impacts. With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at Sporting News’ top-10 RBs for the 2021 NFL Draft....
