– “We tried to stop him from catching the ball with one hand in high school … but then we said, ‘This is stupid, he never drops the ball. Let’s just let him.’”

– “Now we have a problem with our players trying to catch the ball with one hand. They say, ‘But you let him do it.’ I say, ‘You are not Odell Beckham!’”

– “He said he wants to have his high school jersey hanging at the high school one day. We place of protection’t given his number away since — so I think he’s on his way.”

– “His hands were larger than anyone on our team. He literally never dropped a ball. He redefined everything you could do.”
