Once upon a time, in downtown New York there was a man named Odell Beckham Jr. He had a nice fiery spirit that made everyone love him. He especially loved football! He was a star at college for the Louisiana State University. He later got drafted for the New York Giants. He was so excited that he immediately went up and hugged his mom and dad before he went up and took his picture with his jersey.

His first day of practice could not of come sooner. He wore his best clothes to make a good first impression with the owner of the Giants. He drove in his car and parked right in front of their practice stadium. As soon as he walked in, he got even more excited. He started eyeing everything, until the owner came and brought him in his office for the interview.

For some reason, he was calm. As soon as they sat down, he was ready to answer all questions they had for him. They mainly asked about his childhood, if he was ready for the conditions, and other questions. He then asked him questions about the stadium and the Giants background history. The owner gladly answered all of them. After that, he let him out and walked him out to the field.

He was very excited to meet the rest of his fellow teammates. He was introduced to the entire offense and defense. After the proper intros, he found the quarterback and started talking to him. His name was Eli Manning. He told Odell that he was very excited and totally wanted to check out his skills. Afterwards, the Coach told him to strap up, and began practice. Odell was ready to play with the Pros .

After he started up, he went out and bumped into one one the defenders. He said his name was Jason Pierre-Paul. Odell said hi and walked out for his first practice. He ran over to the rest of the offense that was patiently waiting for him. After he got to the huddle, Manning said the play and from there, he lined up and waited.

He said HUT! Beckham ran the route and Manning threw the ball and...

Threw it right at him, and made the catch, and outran everyone, for the touchdown! He was so happy, that he started doing the whip. He always did the whip after touchdowns. He heard about the song, listened to it, saw the dance, and ever since it has been his favorite dance. When he got back to the huddle, Eli said that he was amazing. Afterwards, they did more drills, and then called it a day. As he drove home, he sang happily to himself about the touchdown he made.

When he got to practice, Eli said that today was going to be a ground-and-pound day. He said great and strapped up...and it was very hard. Sure, he made catches, but they always tackled him immediately, so he could never make any touchdowns. Eli said to him that even if he didn't make any touchdowns, he would be happy if he even caught the ball. Odell was happy to hear that, but he still wanted a touchdown. he was going to make it happen.

Odell was waiting until Eli called the snap. When he said "HUT" he ran his route, Eli threw to him real high, he jumped and caught it, and sprinted faster than everyone and made the touchdown! He did the Whip, and went back to the huddle Eli grinned at him, and that's when He knew he was ready for the NFL after that.
