"He made the greatest catch I've seen, other than the one Dez [Bryant] made for the touchdown against Green Bay," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. "Bottom line is Odell is a player that I admire a lot."
Beckham is still a free agent as he recovers from a torn ACL he suffered in the 2022 Super Bowl. Before the injury, he caught the game's first touchdown and was on his way to having a memorable performance.
