The Giants have missed the playoffs for four straight years, but their quarterback Eli Manning believes that they have the team in place to end that streak.
His top target is setting the bar even higher. Wide receiver Odell Beckham closed out his football camp in New Jersey on Tuesday by telling the campers to “chase your dreams” before telling them that he expects to be chasing his in Houston come February.
“Most importantly, go Giants this year! Super Bowl 51 in Houston. We will be there,” Beckham said, via the New York Post.
Such talk is to be expected from confident athletes, but Beckham is trying to do some due diligence on getting to the top of the mountain as well. A recent post on Instagram shows Beckham and LeBron James posing post-workout with Beckham writing that he “wanted to see what it takes” to be next.
Beckham said he got the answers he’s looking for from James. We don’t know what those answers were, but a significantly better performance from the Giants defense was likely among them if James was breaking things down from an on-field perspective.
