New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning gave an encouraging update on wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s physical state recently. The star wideout solidified that notion with a rather impressive display of athleticism.
Beckham is known as one of the most dynamic playmakers in the NFL. So it should come as no surprise to see he is able to throw to down a multitude of dunks, via NFL Twitter:

Although the rim may appear to be a bit shorter than regulation size, it is still impressive nonetheless. Needless to say, Beckham was far more impressive in this video than the last time he was on the basketball court. Some may remember when he caught major flak for his unorthodox shooting form. However, there is no doubt that his jumping form is far superior
More importantly, it is clear that Beckham is doing quite well in his recovery process. Beckham's 2017 campaign was cut short by a fractured ankle in Week 5. He subsequently had surgery and was forced to miss the rest of the season. Fortunately, he seems to be finally turning the corner both on and off the field.
To no surprise, Beckham has been at the center of Giants headlines throughout the entire offseason. He has made it clear that he wants to be the highest-paid wideout in the league. Although he initially said he did not want to hold out of training camp, a lack of movement in contract negotiations suggests that he may have too. At least New York can take solace in knowing that Beckham is doing what he can to get back to full health.
