New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was an accomplished soccer player during his younger days, nearly trying out for a spot on the U.S. Men's National Team.

In a video shared Thursday by The FA, Beckham joked about being drafted by England's national team and training with his "cousin" David Beckham and his son Brooklyn.

Beckham chose to focus on football in high school, and while he's happy with the choice he made, he stated last season he believes he could have made it as a professional soccer player.
