Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. came up with a unique way to show his respect to Tom Brady.

Beckham plans to give Brady a custom pair of goat-hair cleats when the Browns face the New England Patriots on Sunday.

"I have a pair of cleats for him made out of - I hope no animals were really harmed - but made out of goat hair," Beckham said Tuesday, according to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal. "(I have a pair) for me, too, but I'm gonna give them to him because he's one of the GOATs, and he's more the GOAT than I am."

Beckham had high praise for Patriots head coach Bill Belichick as well.

"I remember me saying a quote about wanting to be like the Patriots," he said. "It's like, 'Who doesn't want to win and who doesn't want to have a full team perform ... just the full, complete game, the way (Belichick has) made that organization along with Brady and (owner Robert) Kraft and everybody else who's come through and kinda molded and developed it?' I'll see (Belichick) after the game, and I'll give him love or if I see him before the game. It's always nothing but love and respect for Brady as well."
