Both Beckham Jr. and Ryan made sure to share some insider info during their first on-set appearances.
The New York Giants receiver admitted to punching a hole in a wall in the bowels of Lambeau Field after a playoff loss this year, explaining "it just happened" and that the wall was like a piece of paper. He also said the trip the Giants' receivers made to Miami ahead of their playoff game wasn't worth the attention it generated.
As for Ryan, he told Beckham that the New York Jets tried to trade up to No. 11 to select the receiver in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. However, the Jets ended up staying put, and the Giants took him one pick later at No. 12.
