Bengals' Jones: Beckham 'can do it all'

Adam Jones can't help but be impressed with what he's seen from Odell Beckham Jr. now two-plus seasons into the young wideout's career.

Though the veteran cornerback had previously downplayed the idea that Beckham was approaching the level of Cincinnati Bengals teammate A.J. Green, he has nothing but praise for the New York Giants superstar ahead of this week's matchup.

"Oh, yeah, of course he's in that top tier (of NFL receivers)," Jones said, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. "The kid is a freak. He can do it all. He's got real good speed. He runs decent routes. He competes every play. He's the real deal. He's got a lot."

Beckham enters Week 10 with 44 receptions for 676 yards and five touchdowns, again serving as New York's top playmaker and further establishing himself among the NFL's elite pass-catchers.

Jones, who remains Cincinnati's top cover corner after re-signing with the club this offseason, will presumably have the difficult task of lining up against Beckham more often than not Monday night.

Any success in that regard would go a long way toward the Bengals' chances of getting back in the win column after a Week 8 trip to London resulted in a disappointing tie with the Washington Redskins.
