Bill Belichick: Toughness best part of Odell Beckham Jr.'s game

FOXBORO — Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is much more than the guy who made that circus, one-handed touchdown reception against the Cowboys last season.

The second-year receiver is simply one of the best in the game. He is currently fourth in the NFL in yards (759), sixth in receptions (59), and second in touchdown receptions (7).

Beyond the production and the flash, Patriots coach Bill Belichick also cited another aspect to Beckham's game that he respects a ton — his toughness.

"I'd say the thing that has impressed me the most is his toughness," Belichick said of the 23-year-old.
